He measured at 6'7.25" barefoot as an 18 year old. It's ridiculous the posts trying to say he is under 6'7" now.

I believe 6'6+ barefoot and I'm thinking 6'7.25-6'7.5 in shoes. I just cannot see him being any taller especially if Durant isn't but 6'9. And Durant is only 6'9 not taller (most believe he is but he isn't) as you can see it with people like dirk who is 6'10-6'11 barefoot who are taller and howard who is a self proclaimed 6'9 barefoot (may even be a hair less as he is shorter than Hakeem Olajuwon who is 6'9-6'10 himself barefoot). Also look at durant next to someone like Gasol. He is clearly shorter. The only ones that come into question are serge Ibaka and Kendrick Perkins who are listed 6'10 but are clearly 6'8ish.

Rob, you do realize that most of these NBA stars, including LeBron, are under 20 (and sometimes barely 18) when they get measured for the draft? It really doesn't seem accurate to assume that that measurement is their final height, down to the quarter-inch. On the contrary, you should probably assume that they would have at least a smidgeon of growth left in them at that point in time.

Editor Rob some of them will gain a bit more, but on average the difference from 18-20 is small. For every guy who gains something noticeable there's many more who don't.

Thank you blase03
I have met both him and Scottie Pippen 2 summers ago, and Pippen was at least 1 inch taller than Lebron.
Lebron is 6'6"+ barefooted and about 6'7.5" with athletic shoes.
Pippen was measured at 6'7.5"/ 6'7.75" barefooted and is close to 6'9" in athletic shoes

Chandler: 7'1/6'11.5 (216/212)

*For what it's worth, Durant was measured at 6'9 in both '06 and '07. Perhaps he started growing again (not implausible) or perhaps he didn't, considering how similar he is in height to Anthony Davis, pictured here: Click Here next to Durant, a couple of months after he measured at 6'9.5... And here, next to the 7-foot listed Nowitzki and the 6'11 (6'10 w/o shoes) Aldridge, and the 6'11 (listed, 6'9 w/o shoes Howard): Click Here
Howard has also claimed on several occasions that he is 6'9. Can't find the link to the FoxSports interview where he said it (on signing with the Lakers and comparisons to Shaq).
From the Orlando Sentinel's Brian Schmitz...
In a surprising admission, Dwight Howard says he's "only" 6 feet 10 -- and that's in basketball shoes. The Magic list him at 6-11. I brought it up because Garnett looked at least 1 1/2 inches taller than Howard last week. "Yeah, he is. I'm 6-10 in shoes. Hedo [Turkoglu] is taller than me. It really doesn't matter. I guess it's because I'm big this way that people think I'm taller," Howard said, tracing a finger across his broad chest and shoulders.

I am a high school basketball coach and I have met many other coaches. One particular coach I know worked at a summer camp with Lebron when Lebron was in High School at St Vincent.
Long story short he said Lebron was 6'4 in barefeet at the time and measured around 6'5.5 with gym shoes which was then rounded to 6'6. He has seen Lebron on occasion and mentioned that Lebron had grown a couple of inches. Lebron is 6'6 in barefeet, 6'7.5 in gym shoes thus this is why he listed at 6'8. A 6'8 list does NOT mean that he is exactly 6'8 with shoes just that he is within a half inch of the listed height.
I think the most important thing to remember is if anyone meets him in person he will be in shoes and probably standing on a uneven surface. On a side note since most people cant tell the difference between a half inch I would say rounding your height off by a half inch is not lying. For example; listing your self at 6'6 when your actually 6'5.5 is pretty accurate and not worth splitting hairs. Claiming more than a half inch is pushing it.

Lebron James was measured 6 ft 7.25, barefoot, when he was 18 years of age, for the draft. That's official. It's pretty likely that was not even his max height at 18 years of age - people measure different heights at different times of the day.
Many men don't even stop growing until they're 20 or 21. I think it's pretty likely he's at least 6'8

@payr: LeBron was only 18 at the time and could have easily grown after that. Dwyane Wade measured at 6'3.75'' (which probably means more like 6'3'' flat in the afternoon) and yet LeBron consistently looks four inches taller than him in photos. LeBron is more than likely a full 6'7''.

It's a fact most nba players are inflated height wise. I'm just under 6'5 and have stood by lebron. He is about 2 inches taller. I'd give him 6'7 flat and also stood by Melo. He is about 6'6 flat no taller. Remember he had thick cornrows which may have given him the 1/4 inch or so when he came in the league

Look at this picture.

Kevin Love, number eleven, is 2.08 (I think he is really 2.06) Blake Griffin is 2.08 -number 14-. Number eight is Kevin Durant, who is well listed in 6'11 (211 cm.), and LeBron arrives at his eyebrow level (4 inches less), that gives a plain 6'7'': 200 cm. In basket, players are measured with shoes, so they are always 3 cm. taller (some of them even 4) than barefoot, so this can explain why LeBron is in 2.00. What do you think? I think more than 2.02 is an exaggeration.
Another thing to you Rob (one suggestion): Could yo put in a future a 'Basketball' page? We are talking in the 'Soccer' page about soccer players' height, but there isn't a simillar one to talk about basketball players, and that's the most interesting, because we haven't talked about that yet. What do you think? Thank you very much :)

Heights are very hard to figure. Heel size makes people look up to 2" taller than they actually are. I believe ALL NBA players heights are exaggerated by 1.5"-2". I feel a great estimate for Lebrons true height barefoot is 6'6 1/2".

I'm trying to find good comparisons between Howard, Durant and Lebron. Durant looks almost 3 inches taller than Lebron in various pictures, Dwight never looks more than 2 taller than Lebron. Then there's a picture of Howard and Durant and Howard has a touch on him (though Durant might be leaning a little). So it's hard to find conclusive heights for the 3

Sorry Peter Hung but Kobe is 6'5 and Lebron isn't anything below 6'7. Still not sure about him being 6'8 though. I've gotten the opportunity to meet a lot of these ballplayers over the last 10 years or so and I can tell you that 99% of the time, they come out shorter then listed… even the tallest ones. The redraft measurements give you a glimpse of the truth in terms of a lot of these players height, but its far from being the Holy Grail. I mean come on they still have Allen Iverson listed as 6'0 feet...

@ height wise He doesn't look taller then either of those guys. Kevin Love height is 6'7. 75 while Beasley is probably just a flat 6'7. if anything Love looks slightly taller then him… Lebron use to come to Rucker Park back in the day and he always looked the listed height above. He was only 18 then of course so he could of grown slightly.

LeBron is 6'9" in shoes, from "LeBron IX" shoes, it's platform(heel) is elevated for 1.75 inches, because he weights heavy and landing from high jump constantly can hurt his feet, anyway LeBron is 6'7.25"(201cm) barefoot.His weight is around 250 pounds(115kg). His peak weight was 275(125kg) pounds, don't compare him to D.Howard, LeBron has high BMD and his bones give him more weight even if he looks skinny.

They couldn't and don't wear multiple pairs of socks during the pre draft combine as that could potentially hurt their performance in other things. Lying in bed for an extended period of time such as 12 hours isn't going to make a real difference to just getting a good 8-10 hour sleep before pre draft camp. So knowing that the average person fully stops growing between 18-21 yrs, I think it's to say that some these people who were drafted by age of 18 have grown since their pre draft measurements

@LeBron6
Pretty much all NBA players are measured barefoot at the pre-draft camp, so there isn't too much debate about their height. I have heard that some of them use techniques to measure out as tall as possible, such as wearing multiple pairs of thick socks or lying in bed for 12 hours the night before measurement day. I would take the pre-draft measurements to represent their absolute peak height. By night, most of them are probably at least an inch shorter.

Durant's height isn't so much deflated as other player's heights are inflated. Unlike 99% of players in the league, he lists his height without shoes. Barefoot he's as tall as all 6'10" players and probably half of 6'11" players.
The USA basketball picture shows he's no more than 6'10.5" in shoes when you compare him to Davis and Love.

Wade is still at least 6'3 barefoot. He definitely looks in the 6'5 range on the court. He was pretty closely matched to the 6'5.25 barefoot Danny Green and looked nothing more than an inch shorter.
Looking at the after party pictures, Wade is towering over the 6'0 Drake, and the 6'1 Norris Cole.
LeBron is slouching and still at least 3 inches taller.

If you're going to use pics, use decent ones. No leaning, no different stance, no too low/high camera angle. Pics might fool you anyway, but team pics are the best by far for judging height. For now, these are the best out there:
Team USA 2012 (I find this very good because it's got Anthony Davis in it a matter of weeks after he was measured at pre-draft camp, so we can eliminate possible growth and thus know that he's 6'9.5" in this picture): Click Here

Lebron is about 1.25 inches taller then kobe bryant. Kobe himself was measured at 6'4.75 but out of barkley, jordan and kobe, kobe seems the shortest and all three were measured at 6'4.75.
So that would lebron at 6'6 but i'll give him half an inch and put him at 6'6.5. Lebron james was similar in height to magic johnson but if magic stood with full posture, he would edge lebron and magic himself isn't even much taller then jordan nor the 6'5 howard stern. Magic has been listed at 6'9, which was very, very silly. Magic doesn't even seem to edge 6'7 and lebron isn't taller then him.

First of all..nobody is listed with his barefoot height. It's about your height in shoes rounded to the nearest inch. So if LeBron is 6ft 7.25 in and his shoes have 1 inch soles..he is 6ft 8.25 in..which is 6"8 rounded to the nearest inch. If he was 6 ft 7.5 in he would be 6 ft 8.50 with shoes..making him 6"9 rounded.
I am 5 ft 6.25 inches barefoot...but most people think I am a legit 5"7...weak 5"8.

Kevin Durant is more than flat 6'9".He is a bit taller than Dwight Howard.Howard also doesn't look 2 full inches taller than Lebron.Lebron has around an inch on Carmelo Anthony who is 6'6" 1/2 - 6'7" barefoot.Lebron is sli taller than Ben Wallace who is a strong 6'7" guy.I can't see anything less for Lebron than 6'7" 1/2.

Look at this pics of the 2012 USA Basketball team, Lebrons top head reaches Durant eyebrow. I think Durants height is 6'10" he may have another 1 inch late growth spurt in his early 20s (predraft express states his height is 6'9" barefoot at age 19), Lebrons a legit 6'7" not 6'8". Notice how Durant is so close to height with 6'11" Chandler.

Tony you are 100% right.I know from my father who is 52 lost almost 2'.He was solid 6'4 around 30.Right now on a good day he isnt even 6'3.He has a good posture.
Back to the topic.I saw many pictures of lebron i can see him being full 6'8 on a good day.201cm-203cm range seems acceptable for him.However its highly unlikely he didnt grew even a little after 18.

if you guys look at height charts for men you will see that taller men(meaning over 190cm) begin shrinking a lot earlier than average men. On the growth chart taller men tend to start shrinking at about 30 years old, this is due to gravity and such pulling down more on taller peoples bodies. I would not be surprised if these NBA players began shrinking before they reached 30 due to their massiveness. You guys also do not take into account that one of the reasons these men were able to excel in basketball was because they matured faster than their fellow peers physically, so they were probably done growing sooner and probably did not grow much after 18.

LeBron can look a full 6'8" a lot, he's pretty close. Hilarious though he is a "Small forward" in position

The biggest exageration of height would be Dwight Howard's. Listed at 6'11, there are many videos and pictures proving that he is actually around 6'9.
Watch the presentation of Mitch Kupchak presenting him with his Lakers jersey. Mitch was listed at 6'9 and is probably as tall or taller than Dwight!

Stoudemire, who struggled with a back injury in the Knicks playoff series against the Celtics last year, declared himself 100% fit after the workout. He said the extra time off because of the lockout was a "blessing in disguise," for him physically.
"I think everything is 100%. I feel great. I feel stronger than ever before," said Stoudemire. "I actually grew a half an inch, I am 6-11 with my shoes on, because of my posture. I am 260 (pounds) with an 8% body fat. I feel like a beast." ... Amar'e Was measured at 6'8.5"/6'10" (with/without shoes) at pre-draft camp... Has been listed at 6'10" throughout his career so that makes sense, so by applying logic, he says he grew half an inch to 6'11, assuming he was 6'10.5" before last summer, meaning he grew half an inch from when he was drafted, which isn't far fetched considering he was 19 at the time, this makes him 6'11 in shoes and 6'9.5 without... however, there's always the possibility that he's rounding up now: 6'10" to 6'10.5"->6'11"... Thus, comparing him to LeBron...?

@Sully: When did I try to diminish other people? If your refering to my statements about Love and Beasley then my point is that 6-10 listings for two guys who measured 6-7.25 and 6-7 respectively is too much, even if it's with shoes. All I'm saying is that NBA heights are exaggerated. And about what I'm "buying" or "not buying" - obviously it's about that - if not why are you commenting in a forum if it's not your own opinion based on what you feel are the best proof or argument. I'm basically saying what you're saying - I'm using the pre-draft measurments and say that Durant might well have grown, but that in my opinion, from what I've seen with my own eyes, he's clearly shorter than Nowitzki. Pictures seldom tell anything anyway and there are few reliable ones to determine the height. I'm just referring to what I've seen with my own eyes.

It isn't about you buying anything. It is what it is. You can try to diminish other people however you want, but it won't change reality. I haven't seen any reliable images of KD with Dirk.
And really, jtm? Blake Griffin was measured at 6'8.5 barefoot and 6'10 in shoes at the combine. Then you try to follow that with more baseless statements. The truth of the matter is that the lowest that either LeBron or DWade is, barefoot, is 6'7.25 and 6'3.75 respectively. Lebron usually has 4 inches on him.
Of course, it only makes sense to everyone that they both shrunk because no one is actually that tall.

OK, I can buy Durant growing slightly, but no way he's over 6'10, how tall is Dirk then? 7-4? Pretty clear from seeing them next to each other in the playoffs that Dirk's much taller than Durant. I agree thereí¦s a disconnect, but there will be as long as the players are allowed to decide themselves whether they want to go by their with shoes or w/o shoes measurements, or whether they don't care and just let the team decide.

Dwyane Wade was measured barefoot at 6'3.75 at the age of 21. He is listed at 6'4 on NBA.com When you look at the guy next to other tall people during interviews and press conferences, it is easy to see how he stacks up. Magic and Mike Wilbon have both mentioned on separate occasions that Wade stands 6'5 on the court.
I use facts, you use estimations, see the disconnect?
Lebron at 6'9 on the court is an easy estimation because, at the age of 18, he was measured at 6'7.25 barefoot. He has continued growing since then, from the observations of those close to him. So, even if he really only grew half an inch, he would still be 6'9 in his bball shoes due to the soles being at least an inch thick on average.
I further cement my point by citing Kevin Durant, who was measured at 6'9 barefoot, at the age of 19. He is listed at 6'9 on the roster. He has also continued to grow as he aged while in the league, according to those people close to him. He was even asked about his true height, and he said 6'9.75 barefoot, most people around him say he's even taller than that. At 6'9.75, KD would be 6'11 or so on the court, yet he is listed at 6'9 anyway.
See the disconnect?
Dwyane Wade was measured barefoot at 6'3.75 at the age of 21. He is listed at 6'4 on NBA.com When you look at the guy next to other tall people during interviews and press conferences, it is easy to see how he stacks up.

Lebron is 205cm in the morning and you need to watch your step because you might step on him in the night as he is hardly visible. No, I'm kidding. When Lebron isn't on the court or being photographed he's 225cms and when he is he shrivels down to 201cm because of his shame.

I just think its funny, all of the ppl on here that say lebron is clearly under 6'7", when he was listed as 6'7.25" barefoot at 18. Do you think they lied? And btw studies prove that the average male doesn't stop growing until around 25. And he was listed 240 AS AN 18 YEAR OLD! I think that's the biggest thing to point out. Obviously he was never on a college weight lifting plan. He had to of gained at least 25 pounds of muscle if not more. In all, that puts him at around 6'8" 265 lbs.
P.S. Stop posting ****ty pics with some ppl having spread legs, others closer to the camera, some slouching, others perfect posture. It just makes you look silly.

Lebron calls D Wade short when Wade himself is 6-5 in his bball shoes.
Anyone that has met Dwyane Wade will tell you how tall he actually is.
Bron has even called D Wade 6-2 in a press conference and Wade corrected him by saying 6-4, which is his barefoot height.
It is a joke to claim Lebron is anything under 6'7.25 barefoot.

Players dont really upgrade people when they are being subjective. Most people refer to the 6'3 listed Derrick Rose as 6'2 in shoes, and call Wade 6'5 in shoes(who definitely looked it in the ECF) Teams themselves will overlist a guy to keep things status quo, but will also underlist guys that prefer it.

@Sully
He may break through at some point, but we've never had to listen to someone boast this loud and this long without ever backing it up. James needs to take a looong break from self-promotion, quit pouting about the "haters," stop all the foot-in-his-mouth tweets and press conferences, and just win. Until then, he's a fraud (at least to me).
On height, I do agree that players and analysts selectively up- and down-grade heights to suit the conversation. With LeBron, though, the emphasis is always on how big he is. Analysts have made a sport of overestimating his weight (270, 280!) and I think that if there is even the slightest chance that an in-shoes-in-the-morning-and-rounding-up-to-the-nearest-inch LeBron could be 6'9" or maybe 6'10", we would constantly hear about it.

The NBA only lists the heights as the teams give them out. Lebron is taller than Beasley. And Lebron just had a bad series, he will breakthrough sooner or later.
Also, most NBA players, and ex-NBA player/current NBA analysts, generally refer to him as 6'9 and sometimes as 6'8. (This includes the 6'7 listed Bruce Bowen who was his primary defender in the 2007 NBA Finals.)
The inflation of height is really a position based thing. They also deflate height when it suits them(see KD, KG, etc.)

I think Viper is referring to how LeBron was exposed during the Finals. He had an opportunity to back up all of the hype and self-promotion, to prove any doubters wrong, and to show that he is an all-time great capable of leading a team to a title...and just didn't have what it took to do it. Fraud is a pretty apt description.
And upfront and honest? I'm guessing you could find dozens or hundreds of quotes in which LeBron disproves this. Like most self-absorbed public figures, he desperately wants to be liked and will say whatever he thinks sounds good in the moment (whether it's true or not).
Getting back to height, I still think LeBron is not far from his 6'7.25" listing. Maybe slightly taller, but not 6'8" or over. The NBA loves to inflate heights -- if LeBron were a barefoot 6'8", I think we'd be hearing him referred to as 6'9" or maybe even 6'10" more often (see: Blake Griffin, Michael Beasley).

Kobe is like 6'4.5 barefoot. Thats why hes so close in height to Tom Brady.
Brady is 6'4.25 barefoot. The only time i've ever heard of lebron referred to as under 6'8 was by Avery Johnson. Even Skip Bayless, who underestimates often, refers to him as 6'9. Many other former NBAers who are commentators either refer to him as listed height, or go up.
Reggie Miller (6'7 listed) and Bruce Bowen (6'7 listed) have both referred to him as 6'9.
He may very well be under a full 6'8 barefoot, but if he wears normal basketball shoes, which give around 1.25 of an inch or so, he is easily 6'9.

i think basketballers get listed with shoes on. they also round up or round down to the nearest inch. i remember kobe was listed at 6'7 a few years back so he was probably like 6ft 6.6 with shoes and 6ft 5 1/2 without shoes and i still think thats what he is today kobe 6ft 5 1/2 barefoot maybe as low 6ft 5 1/4 but no lower. also players like dwight howard are 6ft 11 to 6ft 11.4 with shoes so hes probably 6ft 10 barefoot. for example if i was in the nba measured by a tape measure with shoes on i'm 6ft 1 1/2 so i'd be listed to the nearet inch which would be 6ft 2. when in barefoot i'm about 6ft 0 1/4.

Ronaldinho was listed 179cm for years. Kobe is as tall as his wife measured him. Almost every player in the NBA is overlisted even very tall players. Nowitzki gave an interview in Germany in 1998 and was asked how tall he is, his reply was "I'm 2.10m" (6'11") yet he's listed as 7 feet in the NBA. LeBron's official height is 6'8" and that's most likely with shoes on.
