@Shane: my guesses for some guys out of bed lunchtime and afternoon

Curry: maybe 1/4” taller than you are 6’2.25 out of bed 6’1 5/8 lunch, 6’1.5 afternoon

Wall: 6’3 out of bed, 6’2 5/8 after an hour or two and maybe got the roundup, 6’2 3/8 or 6’2.25 and 6’2 1/8-1/4 at a low

Beal: 6’3.75 waking up 6’3 1/8 lunch 6’3 flat at a low

Westbrook 6’3 out of bed, 6’2 3/8 lunch 6’2.25 afternoon

Lebron: 6’8-6’8.25 out of bed, 6’7-6’7.25 afternoon

Melo: 6’7-6’7.25 out of bed, 6’6-6’6.25 afternoon

I can see Jordan being a guy that was 6’5.25 out of bed and 6’4.5 at afternoon peak and Kobe 6’5.5 out of bed 6’4.75 afternoon and maybe Barkley lost more height because of being so heavy. Maybe he was 6’5 3/8 out of bed and 6’4 3/8 afternoon and 6’4 5/8 or 6’4.5 if he didn’t lose so much

Blake Griffin- 6’8 7/8 out of bed or 6’9 and 6’8 afternoon

Durant 6’10.5/6’9.5

Anthony Davis- his height is tough to pin down. See video. I would guess his sneakers are 1.25”. What would you say? I’d have him 6’9.75 at the time he’s measured barefoot but 6’10 is possible

Here is Davis with Aldridge

Click Here

Harden is another guy I can’t pinpoint. Can look close to 6’4 at times but 6’3.5 other times. Maybe 6’4.5 out of bed 6’3.75 afternoon. Maybe he was up earlier than the others or he gained. And tyreke evans is another. I wouldn’t have thought he was much under 6’4 barefoot
Canson said on 11/Jun/23
@Shane: check it out. Looks like 2009 was maybe early morning (1 hour out of bed) 2010 2. People measured shorter in 2010. However like you’ve always said, the unknown is if guys laid down longer or right up until being measured. Others were likely mistakes. I find it hard to believe John Wall is 6’2.5 or .75” he looks a solid 6’2 usually although I can buy say 6’2.25 being remotely possible. But he looks an inch less than Beal does usually

@Shane: I saw a 6’5.5 for Brown as well. I can see Brown as a strong 6’5 guy (by Rob’s definition) meaning he’s 6’5.25 perhaps 2 hours or 3 out of bed and 6’5” flat at a low and 6’5.75 out of bed perhaps. But you’re right 6’7 in shoes first thing is the most he’s gonna be. He was listed 6’7 until 2019. Tatum was always listed 6’8” which is like Lebron when he first came in measuring 6’8 in sneaks and 6’7.25 barefoot
viper said on 10/Jun/23
This listing is too much

Tatum really looks no more than 6-7
Shane Gray said on 9/Jun/23
@Malcolm Oliver people still don't understand that most basketball players view their height as in shoes. Pierce is clearly calling shoe heights here. Tatum definitely is 6'9" in shoes early in day. I'm not sure what hes thinking with Brown, though, as he only measured 6'5 1/4" barefoot at combine which gets him to about 6'7" in shoes and insoles early morning. Either way, shoe heights are what most hoppers consider their real height as.
Malcolm Oliver said on 27/May/23
Interesting, Paul Pierce thought of both Jaylen and Jayson as “6’8, 6’9”

Click Here
(0:50 mark)

Tatum being described as high as 6’10 tells me all I need to know about billed heights; it seems the max the league can stretch it to is 3 inches over (counting shoes and all)

Imo,
Tatum 6’7.25
Brown 6’5

JT would stack up the same as LeBron, JB measures similar to MJ and Kobe
Canson said on 9/Apr/23
@Robbe: I’d have listed him at 6’7.25 had I been Rob. He and bron should both be
Shane Gray said on 6/Apr/23
Kendrick Perkins was calling Tatum 6'10" the other day. Brian Windhorst was saying 6'9" or 6'10". Clearly talking in shoes.
Robbe said on 12/Mar/23

Canson said on 4/Mar/23
@Shane: yea I have heard smith call himself 6’8 when they did a feature on Rodman for nba tv. Smith is either 6’6.5 or .75. Can’t remember which he measured
Shane Gray said on 3/Feb/23
@Canson announcer was calling Tatum 6'10" the other night. I saw segment with Steve Smith on nbatv the other day and Smith was calling himself 6'8", Kidd 6'4" etc. So many people don't understand many of these players truly view their height as in shoes. Called Rodman 6'8" also.
Canson said on 31/Jan/23
Looks distinctly shorter than 6’8 measured Kyle Kuzma. 6’7.25 at most. The 6’7 5/8 was definitely earlier in the day. 6’5.25 measured Jaylen Brown (who is likely 6’5 at a low) is also only a couple inches shorter

He’s not taller than LeBron. If anything, they may be the same size

He’s not taller than lebron thats a terrible pic
Thorfinn said on 14/Dec/22
Rob , is it possible Tatum has grew since age 19 ? Looks taller than lebron and is more away from the camera from lebron.

Editor Rob
Always a possibility he had a little more gain at 19-20.
186cm/Age 14 said on 8/Oct/22
Slightly shorter than LeBron probably 201.5-202cm. I think Rob has him listed well, given that LeBron is probably close to 6’8”.
Jawilder said on 24/Jul/22
He’s 6’7. It’s pretty clear he’s nothing over at a low.
recapa said on 24/Jul/22
200.5-201 before bed and 202.5-203 out of bed.
Canson said on 23/Jul/22
@Leopard: I’d give Tatum the full 6’7 next to Beal or Jaylen Brown but he can struggle to look 6’7 next to 6’8 Kyle Kuzma. I generally think 6’7 at minimum
Leopard said on 21/Jul/22
Second thought I think Tatum is more 6'6.75 than 6'7
Canson said on 10/Jul/22
@Leopard: they look similar. Both prob around 201. Tatum May be what you said and LeBron May be 6’7.25
Leopard said on 9/Jul/22
He is bit shorter than LeBron, probably 200.5-201cm for him.
Carlos Santana said on 5/Jul/22
6'7 flat
viper said on 19/May/22
He never looks 6-8 imo
RD2798 said on 18/May/22
I think he's 6'7 flat. He's a tad bit shorter than LeBron.
Canson said on 17/May/22
Did you hear them commentating on Tatum’s height and weight during the game? They said “he’s listed at 6’8 and 210”. One said “well he’s not 210” and the other said and “he’s not 6’8”. I don’t know if they were saying he’s taller than that but it sounds like they were when he measured at 6’7 1/2” in 2019 so not seeing how he’s taller than listed after the crackdown
Rockaway said on 17/May/22
Can look the full 6’8” at times, certainly above 6’7” comfortably in the evening.
Canson said on 19/Apr/22
@Ice: they say he measured 6’7 5/8 but said before that he grew 3/4” so wonder if he was 6’6 7/8 before. Maybe the growth was via morning measurement or at least some of it
Canson said on 18/Apr/22
@Ice Cold: he probably never got 6’9”. He may have gotten something like 6’8.75 in sneaks and 6’7.5 barefoot earlier in the day which I can believe. He’s probably a solid 6’7” guy tho but at times he can look even taller
IceCold said on 18/Apr/22
Canson, how he did 6'9 ''measurements'' ? If he is 6'7 flat, then he is not much over 6'8 even in basketball sneakers
Canson said on 17/Apr/22
6’7 flat tops
Canson said on 15/Feb/22
@Editor Rob: how about a page for his teammate Jaylen Brown? He also measured 6’5.25 like Derozan did. And he measured it multiple times. Likely he’s a guy who doesn’t dip below 6’5 like Derozan

Click Here
Canson said on 27/Jan/22
@Jawilder: yep I’d say 6’8 out of bed and 6’7 5/8 after an hour which is how he got his measurement. He’s more likely a solid 6’7”. He actually had 6’6 7/8 at one point since they mentioned he grew 3/4” to 6’7 5/8” so I wonder if that’s his low for the day
Malcolm Oliver said on 8/Jan/22
Tatum is comparable to LeBron in height in my opinion. Both are a solid 6ft 7.5.
CITIZEN said on 18/Dec/21
Hi Rob, you should look into Trae young height he’s listed at 6’1 but I’m not buying it. Do you think he could be 5’10- 5’11 range or is it too low?
Editor Rob
Wouldn't go under 6ft for him, although I may not have seen as much as you have!
Jawilder said on 9/Dec/21
6’7 flat at best

i think both him and lebron deserves an 1/4 downgarde.

@Recapa: lol
Canson said on 26/Sep/21
I can’t believe that picture has been posted at least three times yet had Tatum been taller it would’ve been criticized for the same reasons
Canson said on 26/Sep/21
Jawilder said on 24/Sep/21
@Canson I agree. Tatum at 6’7 flat is likely. He looks an inch shorter than Kuzma, and he can look shorter than LeBron in basically every picture together, although I think there is only a fraction difference.

6’7.25” for LeBron
6’7 for Tatum

@JAWilder: now that I will agree on! That’s the most likely scenario
Canson said on 26/Sep/21
Bagheera said on 26/Sep/21
Of course this is the best picture here there is no problem of angle both with similar shoes in terms of thickness and they stand close to each other. there are only two options here: Tatum 6-7 and LeBron 6-8 or Tatum 6-6 and LeBron 6-7, one way or the other LeBron is the tallest of them, this is the reality in front of your eyes : Click Here
@Editor Rob
I would love to hear please your more educated opinion to this picture : Click Here what is the height of Tatum and what is the height of LeBron?
in my opinion according to this picture you should consider upgrading LeBron to at least 6-7.75

Terrible picture. You can’t choose pics that make LeBron the height you want him to be. You can’t be taken seriously when you say Kuzma is a morning 205-206 but other guys are their afternoon heights. So you know you’re full of it. And like Recapa said you post the same pics each time. Come up with something good and new. Do you look at the angles, the stances, and the way they stand in general? You clearly don’t. Lebron and Tatum are not standing at equal distance and Tatum’s legs are bent. If we reversed them, Tatum would be taller and you would be calling out what I am
recapa said on 26/Sep/21
@Bagheera,please use a diffrent pic of them .you aint helping your case if you keep lnking the same picture you know.

Canson said on 24/Sep/21
@Robbe: I have Adebayo somewhere around there for his afternoon 6’8.5 or .75 but that pic accounts for Tatum’s hair and is prob not a good comparison.

See this pic below with Tatum and Kyle Kuzma who is 6’8. He looks 6’7 tops here. He measured 6’7 5/8 (allegedly) in 2019 but that’s gotta be earlier in the day. Gordon Hayward is 6’6.75 early morning and he readily admits his height is measured in the morning. Otherwise there is a fair chance he’d be listed 6’6”. That said I believe Tatum’s was an early morning and same with Jaylen Brown as he was supposedly 6’5.5”. Brown May he lucky if he is 6’5” flat at a low

there is no better picture than this to estimate their height and see here without a doubt 3 cm difference LeBron is taller this is the reality Click Here

Yep nothing better than a biased picture where LeBron is favored just to fill your narrative.
Jawilder said on 23/Sep/21
@mori I don’t get why a 6’7 guy would even bother claiming 6’9 🤣. Like you are already extremely tall.

Jayson looks a legit 6'8 next to 6'8.75 measured Bam Adebayo in this Olympic Team photo Click Here

Could it be that Jayson has really grown since drafted and is a full 6'8 nowadays?

JaVale McGee indeed looks 7f in that pic too, just like in the previous one. 2in taller than Durant, who should be 6'9.5, but looks 6'10 there.

@recapa: Oh well you're claiming that the Tatum is 2.01 and it's clear that LeBron is 2-3 cm taller than him should be blind to not see it. So how do you keep claiming that LeBron is 201cm?
This picture proves that LeBron is no less than 203 cm and maybe 203.5 cm
Click Here

That’s not 2-3 cm. Tatum looks taller in this one 😂 . Be smart. You can’t use a pic where Tatum is disadvantaged and say definitively that Lebron is taller. All of your pics are like that. We could do the same with Tatum

Click Here

And here LeBron is looking up (like you claimed in a different pic)

The reality

They’re similar
Canson said on 20/Sep/21
@Editor Rob: Tatum right next to his teammate Jaylen Brown who measured 6’5.25”. We aren’t certain if that’s an afternoon or morning that year. Either way Tatum isn’t 2” taller than he is. Tatum struggles with 6’7” next to Kuzma as well but Kuzma appears slightly closer to the camera and it can look 3cm. We know Kuzma measured 6’8”. Tatum is no taller than 6’7”

Canson said on 20/Sep/21
@Mori and Jawilder: I’d say he can possibly make 6’7” but that’s it. The article rob pulled the measurement from said he grew 3/4” so that implies he was 6’6 7/8”. Only thing is that NBA doesn’t not measure to the 1/8”. They’re all 1/4”. So maybe he was 6’7 flat or 6’6 3/4”. I’d say he is likely a flat 6’7” next to Bradley Beal although Beal could be a weak 6’3”
Canson said on 18/Sep/21
@Viper: not sure how that got there. He claimed 6’9” once but he’s 6’8 in shoes
mori said on 18/Sep/21
Yes Tatum is shorter than Paul George, just look at this video, PG goes in for the hug and you can clearly see that he's taller than Tatum. When you click the link and get to the site you should see a video of PG hugging Tatum click on it: Click Here

Tatum more closer to weak 6'7" range and George is mid 6'7" range imo
Jawilder said on 17/Sep/21
6’7-6’7.25” seems likely. He’s a bit shorter than LeBron in most pictures I’ve seen. Including this one.

viper said on 17/Sep/21
Excuse me, he wasn't at the combine but he was listed at 205 until recently. Weighed that in 2016. Looks around the same
viper said on 17/Sep/21
Tatum weighed 205 at the combine and still looks around the same, so the 210 I'd say is legit
Bagheera said on 17/Sep/21
Looks 202 cm not more
recapa said on 15/Sep/21
i can see him around 201-201.5 before bed while 203-203.5 out of bed.
recapa said on 13/Sep/21
tatum looks shorter than paul goerge in that height chart that robbe linked although not by much (1cm or so) while javal mcgee looks surpsingly giagntic there at 7ft1 while i think he has hair advantage i think that javal may have grown from his 6ft11 barefoot draft measurement,i wouldnt be suprsied if javal is a full 7 foot guy barefoot now.
Mickie said on 11/Sep/21
@Chaos Control - he's not under 200 pounds. He has been listed at 210 as an NBA player and is probably significantly heavier than that now if you actually weighed him.

@Editor Rob and Viper: he measured 6’6 3/4” before being drafted and 6’8.25 in shoes another time. The 6’7 5/8” is very early am. He’s a solid 6’7” next to Kyle Kuzma
viper said on 7/Sep/21
It's wild that Tatum is only 15 pounds more than Ingram at the same height when he looks 40 pounds more
viper said on 7/Sep/21
Tatum is 6-7 at most

That 6-7.5 measurement must have been at 6 AM like the combine

@Canson I think Jayson looks at least a fraction inch taller than Brandon Ingram in that photo? I agree with full inch shorter than Kuz. Maybe I’m wrong. He looks 6’7 with Lebron with most photos I saw.
I’ll give him 6’7 ☘️
viper said on 6/Sep/21
He needs to be downgraded to 6-7 1/4

He absolutely looks MAX 6-7.

A lot of times he only looks 6-6 physically on the court
5ft10guy said on 6/Sep/21
This is how a legit 6ft8 looks like.6ft9 with shoes and there your NBA 6ft10 listing .But yeah this kid and Simmons one of the few people who legit 6ft8/6ft9 guys
Canson said on 6/Sep/21
@Lee Parker and Adam Fernandes: how? He’s an inch shorter than 6’8” Kyle Kuzma. I’d almost believe what Jam says below especially when the article Rob referenced for his height says that he grew 3/4” to 6’7 5/8”. Wouldn’t surprise me if that’s a morning measurement. And Kuzma didn’t grow. He was measured 6’8” in 2019 and listed at that before they figured out that he’s taller than LeBron so they made him 6’10”
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 6/Sep/21
@ Canson - Very tall heights are definitely your territory, not mine! To make any decent assessment, I need to look at pictures, but I'm quite good at telling whether or not a guy is shorter than 6ft4, having had two close friends of that height and known many more. 😉

Jayson can have 6ft7.5.
