Yep, and Kobe looked 6-4.5 with 6-4 Tom Brady
Its amazing how many of the Lebron fanboys want him at 6-8 so bad, when hes never seen anything taller than 6-7.25. I bet Lebron dips under 6-7 at night.

Kobe says himself that he is 6'4.5 barefoot. He wouldnt lie at this point.

Kobe is like 6'4.5 barefoot.
Paul pierce looks around 5 inches shorter than KG, but KG is taller than 6'11 so..
I dont remember where I saw it, but Kobe and Peyton were pretty close in height and if it werent for Peyton's great posture i would say Manning had the edge.
I dunno why you guys wanna think this dude is shorter than he is.

Lebron is 6'8 barefoot. it is that simple. he would be 6'9 barefoot easily if he wasn't bow-legged. and btw if u haven't noticed, kobe's supporting cast is by far better than Bron's. give lebron kobe's team and he wins every year guaranteed. Kobe wouldnt even have made it to the finals with lebron's cleveland team. Lebron is just a better player

@SolidSnake
There's a ton of distortion going on in that photo. Wade is the only one not corrupted by the wide angle lens (that's why James' and Bosh's heads look flattened and stretched). If we were to accept that Wade is 6'4" (he's not) and the picture represents their heights accurately (it doesn't), then James looks 6'9" and Bosh is a little over 7'. Do you think they are all that tall?
I'll concede that LeBron is at least 6'7.25" and perhaps a fraction over, but he isn't 6'8.5".

In that photo, you're not only overestimating LeBron's height advantage over Redd (it's more like 2.5" than 3.5") but overlooking Deron Williams standing right next to him. Williams comes up to the middle of LeBron's nose, right under his eyes, meaning Bron can't be more than 5.25-5.5" taller. Williams is listed at 6'1.75" barefoot -- that would make LBJ somewhere around 6'7".

He was 19 when measured at 6'7.25 for the draft. As he is so tall it's probable he has grown since then. He has to be 6'7.5 at least and maybe 6'8 or more.

Pre-draft measurements measure Boozer at 6'7 3/4", and Boozer is clearly taller than Lebron , not by a whole lot, but still enough to be considered the .5 inch that their measurements would predict. If lebron were 6'8 barefoot he would be .25 inch taller than boozer, which he is not. therefore lebron's max height is 6'7.25

There are many more issues with you would be "proof" (leg spread, knee bending, camera angles, etc.) but unless they are both shown with good posture and barefoot, nothing can be presented as good proof.
your correct as far as the pre draft measurements goes bosh is taller than dwight but not by much...with certain posture and bigger shoes one can look taller....bosh and howard are only within an inch difference so it's hard to tell but i'm going to go with the pre draft measurements

@LEGIT
Massive shoulders and at least a 3" height advantage. LeBron is probably 15-20 lbs lighter than Howard.
LeBron was listed at 240 as a rookie. I don't doubt he's gained weight, but I think it's more along the lines of 10-15 lbs, not 30-35 as many speculate.
For comparison, Dwight Howard was also listed at 240 as a rookie and is now listed at 265. That's only 25 lbs and he's bulked up much more than LeBron has since coming into the league.

DV8, do you know how often NBA players will wear shoes that add about 1 1/2 inches to their height? not to mention the number of them that wear bigger size shoes and wear multiple layers of socks in between.
There are many more issues with you would be "proof" (leg spread, knee bending, camera angles, etc.) but unless they are both shown with good posture and barefoot, nothing can be presented as good proof.

Lebron was listed at 6-6 during his HS recruitment. He was then measured @ 6-7.25 BAREFOOT at the combine @ the age of 18. Many people, including himself, have stated that he has grown even more during his time in the NBA. So, at the bare minimum he is 6'7.25 without shoes.
In my experience though (saw him at the All-star weekend in houston a few years back) he even looked 6'8 while he wasnt standing straight.

If you believe James is 280, then Dwight Howard must be well over 300! Watch their McDonald's commercial and you'll realize you've completely overestimated Bron. He is way shorter and smaller than Howard (listed at 265) -- probably around the 250 he's listed.

I guarantee you LeBron and boozer are either the same height or boozer is a little shorter. That pic even shows Dwight Howard as taller than Bosh when he isnt.
Think about it. LJ plays the 3 and Boozer plays the 4. It is in Booz's best interests to wear bigger shoes, Look at Big Baby, hes like 6'5-6'6 but wears shoes that push him to like 6'8ish. You will also rarely see LJ standing full height.

LeBron is for sure 270lbs at least. I played with a kid who was 6'8" and 260lbs, he was not muscular either and didn't look extremely large. LeBron is all muscle and is bigger, he may be 280lbs. And he is an easy 6'8". Look at him post up PF in the NBA, he is equal height with these guys, he may even be 6'9". When he entered the NBA he was listed at 6'8" 250lbs, that listing has not changed since he was 18 years old. Just look at pictures of him as a rookie, and now. He is LARGE

That's a bad photo for height comparison (fisheye distortion, hats, shoes, posture, etc) with LeBron only looking about 6'5"-6'6". I don't think he's that short, of course, but I think the photo does show that he isn't any taller than his draft measurement. If he had grown to 6'8" (or more, as some people claim), then he should never look that short next to 5'11 3/4" Chris Paul or 6'9" Kevin Durant, regardless of the quality of the photo.

Lebron was 6'7'' in pre-draft measurements, barefoot. He grew an inch to be 6'8'' by his second or third year in Nba. the question is was he wearing shoes in second measurment if he was wearing shoes he did not grow since high school and is 6'7'', if he wasn't wearing shoes in second measurement then he is 6'8'' and about 6'9'' in shoes. and btw I'm 6'0'' and I met lebron and I was at his chin.

Lebron's an interesting guy from a physical standpoint. I saw him a few years ago in person for several minutes after a game against the Wizards (very friendly to the fans by the way) and I was struck at how BIG he was, not just in height but also in overall presence. First of all, he looks more like an NFL defensive lineman than a basketball player (I saw Julius Peppers in person one time and Lebron is about the same size and build though Lebron is probably a little lighter and more cut). He's not just really tall (6'8" is about right) but also massively muscled and tattooed even for an NBA player and if he wasn't a superstar he could scare folks just by walking down the street. He also has a surprisingly booming baritone/bass speaking voice that fills up the room even at normal volume and looked a lot older than his (at the time) early 20's, almost like Greg Oden. On top of it all, unlike a lot of men his size, he's very animated and expressive when he speaks and has good posture (unless he's bending over to listen), ease and confidence about his stature. He doesn't shrink away at all. Basically, even though he's probably not more than 6'7.5" to 6'8" he can easily give the impression he's even bigger than that.

Click Here Dwayne Wade measured 6'3 ¾" barefoot, so I made him around 6'5" in shoes. Everything else pretty much falls into place. IIRC Chris Bosh measured around 6'10" barefoot and would be about 6'11 ¼" in shoes. LeBron comes out around 6'8 ½" in shoes, or around 6'7 ¼" barefoot, or exactly what he was measured at.

"I really don't understand some of these comments. Saying stuff like "it's a good height to claim as a combo forward" when Lebron has nothing left to prove to anyone, especially in regarding to his height, is pretty laughable."
the point is that when teams see how much taller he is and his weight they consider those things in how to defend him. if it didn't matter then why does lebron claim to be taller than he really is? since h plays 2 positions he needs to be at a height that can fit both roles. regardless he's not that tall as a PF and he's about right size as a SF by nba standards.

Yeah, LeBron is ironically enough, around the same height as Carlos Boozer. At the 2002 NBA Pre-Draft Combine, when they did the measurements, Carlos Boozer was measured at 6'7 3/4, 258 lbs. With shoes on, Carlos was measured at 6'9 1/2. That's probably a big reason why they look different in heights is the kind of shoes the players wear.

Yeah, LeBron is ironically enough, around the same height as Carlos Boozer. At the 2002 NBA Pre-Draft Combine, when they did the measurements, Carlos Boozer was measured at 6'7 3/4, 258 lbs. With shoes on, Carlos was measured at 6'9 1/2. That's probably a big reason why they look different in heights is the kind of shoes the players wear. That's why I dislike the fact that a lot of players go by their "with shoes" height.

dwight howard is really six nine barefoot. he probably hasn't grown much. i hear males grown into their 20s BUT most of the time it's not even noticeable growth. not even an inch.

Nate Robinson is the man!! Considering he's only 5'7 3/4. He's probably better than Muggsy Bogues or Spud Webb. In baseball there's small ball, but so is the NBA.

I just think it's funny that the NBA has always listed player's height by their shoes on. All shoes are different heights, therefore, they should just list them by their barefoot height. Also, they should measure every player's heights before every new season. They should also list weights by their average weight.
By I can understand why some players want to be listed by their shoes on, because for instance, Craig "Rhino" Smith of the Minnesota Timberwolves is listed at 6'8, 250. In reality, he's 6'5 1/2, and around 260 to 270 lbs. 6'8, 250 looks a lot better than 6'5.5, 270. Kevin Love and Al Jefferson are other examples. They are both listed at 6'10 but K-Love is 6'7 3/4, and Al is 6'8 1/2.

LeBron James was measured at 6'7 1/4 barefoot in 2003. They were saying that he was having back pain due to the fact that he was still growing, which is totally possible. In 2003 LeBron was only 18 years old. The commentators said he might have grown about an inch or so, and that would put him at around 6'8 barefoot. His weight is definitelly 250+. I would estimate that he weighs around 265 lbs.
Dwight Howard was measured at 6'9 barefoot back in 2004 at the age of 18. He might have grown since then, but I don't think he's 6'11 barefoot. He just looks tall due to his huge upper body frame. LeBron and Dwight weigh about the same. It would be so cool if they went 1 on 1 like Larry Bird and Julius Erving did back in the early 1980's. LeBron James should be playing Power Forward, but he's a "point-forward" and he mostly plays facing the basket. That's why he still plays small forward.

I really don't understand some of these comments. Saying stuff like "it's a good height to claim as a combo forward" when Lebron has nothing left to prove to anyone, especially in regarding to his height, is pretty laughable.
He's not some NBDL point guard trying to squeeze into an NBA roster spot, where overstating your height could potentially be advantageous. It doesn't matter if his height is really 6-4 or 6-10, it won't affect his image in the least.

If LeBron weighs 274 lbs, how much does Howard weigh?
Howard is very close, if not 6'10 (he has said 6'9.5 himself, over a year ago), as i think after i have seen pictures from the olympics. Lebron is 6'8.5 max.

Lebron James was said to be 6'9'' 270 lbs by espn commentators. He is always listed at 6'8'', he looks 6'8'' and his broad frame might make him look shorter, but with this said, you watch one cleveland game and he dwarfs every guy who covers him. As to being taller then Carlos Boozer, that is a true statement, Boozer since his days at Duke was noted as being undersized for his listing.

You can't rule out the fact that LeBron has grown. His pre-draft measurement was when he was 18 years old. Many people grown in college (Rodman grew 6 inches in college), especially freak type physical specimens like Rodman, LeBron, etc.

Warren Coolidge and LBJ are very close in height IMO.

Lebron is 6'7 1/4 maybe closer to 6'8 and is around 250 pounds.

Either way, LeBron will break down faster and sooner than his peers. His game relies simply on his athleticism. In 2-3 years, he'll break down.

I could buy 260 for Lebron but no way more than that. Either way there has never been a basketball player with his combination of height and weight with the skills he has, ever.

Lebron now weighs 274 pounds! Maybe he did grow a little? He was at 260 last year and he was weighed at 245 when he was drafted.
Tim Duncan isn't under 6'10". If anything he's over 6'10".

This picture shows James LeBron next to Tim Duncan.
Click Here
I really can't see more than 4 or maybe 5 cm between the two of
them. So, if LeBron is 2.01, Tim Duncan has to be 2.05 or 2.06.
Tim has looked to me taller than that next to other players ( Robinson and Mc Grady for example), but seeing him stand next to LeBron makes me doubtful.
Also, I doubt that LeBron is taller than 2.01 because he doesn't tower over Kobe Bryant.
Of course, I realize that the Duncan-LeBron picture is not an excellent one, so my impression could be wrong.

Bosh was already 6'10.25" barefoot at barely 19 in 2003, it looks like he's grown a little and he now says he's 6'11". I believe him.
I knew Beasley was nowhere near 6-10 but 6-7 surprised me. I thought he was 6-8 and yes he is still listed 6-10 on NBA.com. I thought Love is over 6-8 as well. Then again that makes Love the same height as Carlos Boozer which isn't that surprising.
Sometimes the NBA inflates players heights by ridiculous amounts.
John Starks was 6-2 and listed 6-5
Kobe is 6-4 3/4 and was listed at 6-7 for years, he's now listed at 6-6.
Beasley is 6-7 and listed at 6-10
Kevin Love is 6-7 3/4 and still listed at 6-10
The 2008 draft class had so many ridiculously inflated heights. Derrick Rose was listed 6-4 and I think he measured 6-1! Either 6-1 or 6-1.5

Overseas, Shaq at 7'1" was also a pre-draft measurement unlike Love and Beasley's 6'10" listing so I don't see your point. Beasley's pre-draft measurement showed 6'7", Love's showed 6'7.75" but Shaq's showed 7'1". He looks every bit of that height too.

Despite being provided with tons of evidence by Shaq is 7'1'' I still claim Mr. O'Neal is about 7' tall. His footwear has always been thick-soled to say the least, that's the trick. But I guess it's going to be tough to find out unless we have him measured or wait for the police to get his mugshot:)
The height overestimation (and the weight underestimation) has long been the league's tradition as evidenced by the 2008 NBA Draft (M. Beasley and K. Love being my favourite examples - their team pages have them both at 6'10'' while not even reaching full 6'8'' in pre-draft measurements; why not put a guy's legit height and acknowledge that he beats the ****e out of opposition at 6'7''???). Metric units, while being more precise would definietly help here.
I'm sorry for sounding a bit arrogant in my April and May posts, I didn't mean to.

A 17 year old fan ran onto the Cavs bench at Madison Square Garden, telling LeBron that he is his favourite player, and what a big fan he is, etc. before security took him away. When asked if he was scared by the fan encounter, James said "I'm 6'9 and 260, I'm all right". haha Lebron could definitely hold his own if forced to defend himself I'm guessing. I used to think he was a full 6'8 barefoot, now I think this listing is closer to the truth. A good friend of mine is this height (201cm). Unfortunately he is not very co-ordinated but everytime hes at my house I get him to slam dunk the hoop on my garage.

gambler, Bosh stated he grew to 6-11 and judging by how he towered over 6-10 listed Kendrick Perkins a few months ago I don't doubt it. At the time of his 6-10.25 measurement he was barely 19 so growing an additional 0.75 is not hard to believe.
Kobe's wife also said she measured him at 6-4.75 and Kobe himself claimed 6-4. He also was barely taller than 6-3.75 Wade in these pictures from 2007.

Kobe is 6-4.75 max.
Look at these pictures with 6-4 7/8 Michael Jordan, Kobe isn't any taller.
Click Here
Click Here
Those are great pictures to judge considering how close they are and that they are side by side facing the camera with not any other people in the camera. Kobe looks more like 6-4 flat next to Wade but I'll give him 6-4.75 because he looks that height next to Jordan.
As far as Howard he was forcing his posture in the picture you posted and still was not taller than Bosh. Considering Bosh is slouching a bit and Howard is standing as tall as possible and the picture was taken from so far away it's no wonder that they look about the same height. Here is a better picture with Bosh.
Click Here
Side by side and while Chris is slouching again, Howard is more than an inch shorter. That's about as good of a picture as you can get to judge.
By the way Howard measured 6-9 flat at the 2004 pre-draft camp but since he claimed to be 6-9.5 in 2006 I believe he's that height. Both him and Bosh grew a little after their draft measurements.
Bosh's claim was on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno back in June, you can find the video on Youtube. Howard's claim was during a 2006 Orlando Sentinel interview.
So as you can see I wasn't lazy, by the way here are articles that mention Kobe's height.

Kobe himself said he's really 6'4" and probably "6-5 in sneaks". His wife said she measured him 6'4 3/4". That height fits him based on the pictures with Wade.

Those are a lot of claims you make without anything to back you up Shaq. You say that bosh is 6'11 yet he was measured 6'10.25 at 03 draft camp so you should check it up. Just type 'nba 2003 draft camp measurements' into google and please do it and don't be lazy. have you even looked at the picture i put up where dwight looks the same if not slightly taller than bosh? Also kobe looks taller than Redd in that photo so i don't know why you insist he is the same as Redd, they were even wearing the same shoes in that photo. your other claims are pretty spot on though.

Viper there is no reason to even debate lebron being anything less than the 6'7.25 that he was measured at in draft camp when he was 18. you're right about d-ho being 6'9-6'9.5 next to 6'10 bosh. Kobe looked clearly taller than 6'3.75 d-wade and marginally taller than 6'4.75 Redd, so I think he is 6'5. Kobe being measured 6'4.5 is most likely a night height.

I agree that Lebron is 6-7.25 barefoot but he looked taller than that next to Dwight. However he struggles at 6-7 next to 6-4.75 Kobe Bryant so it all evens outs. 6-7.25 barefoot and 6-8 and change in shoes for Lebron.

He put on a great performance at the Beijing games. I don't like those tattoos his arms are covered in, I think he looked better without them.

Brown was measured 6'10" w/o shoes when he was drafted, but he was only 18 and is said to have grown an inch since. Even if Brown is 6'11" then that still puts Kobe in the 6'4"-6'5" range.

6'4.75" without shoes and 6'6" with shoes sounds right.

I've changed my mind. I highly doubt Lebron grew past 6'7.25"
How can 6'4.75" Kobe be this close to Lebron's height if Lebron is anything taller than 6'7.25"?
Click Here
Click Here
He was 6'8" with shoes at the 2003 Chicago pre-draft camp so he probably just wears thicker shoes that add 1.25" or 1.5" inches on the court like normal basketball shoes making him in the 6'8.5"/6'8.75" range with shoes on. That's probably where the 6'9" claims come from.
Lebron again looks 6'7.25" max next to 6'3.75" Dwyane Wade
Click Here
He actually looks more in the 6'6" range in the Kobe pictures but I assume that's because of posture.
7'2" Zydrunas Ilgauskas has atleast 7 inches on Lebron
Click Here
I don't even think Lebron is a full 6'9" in shoes. Funny that I've even heard 6'10" for Lebron. That's flat out ridiculous.

That's highly unlikely considering they said they got the measurements from newspaper writers. Members of the media are given the official measurement list from the camp at the time of the pre-draft camp.
The heights that draft express really questions are the ones with asterisks.

From draftexpress.com:
"Measurements prior to 2000 are based on newspaper articles rather than official league documents. While the measurements reported in such articles are reported to be officially from the predraft camp, we are taking those writers at their word and can not completely verify that information"
Basically prior to 2000 any player's "official" barefoot height can't really be verified therefore the 7'1 barefoot listing for Shaq can be off by an inch.

First of all if you're going to call me ignorant atleast spell it right. Second of all you can't tell exactly how tall they are from that video but it's good enough to get an idea that Dwight isn't much taller than Russell. Don't even bring up shoes either because Dwight is wearing large basketball shoes.

dwight howard is farther back from the camera you ignorent "shaq"....you can tell the camera angle favors bill russels size because even his head and shoulders look monstrous compared to dwight who even tho does not have a big head has the broadest shoulders i have ever seen...camera angles are so tricky thats why they can make tom cruise look six feet...by the way im sure the dress shoes werent flat on the floor usually tall guys have a large shoe and unless they were loafers they had to at least add an inch and a half...get your facts straight

Look at this video. Dwight Howard doesn't look much taller than Bill Russell who was 6'9.5" in his prime and doesn't seem to have lost much height. Click Here The good angle for the height comparison comes in at about 0:21
Keep in mind Dwight probably has a footwear advantage because he is wearing basketball shoes. Dwight isn't any more than 6'9.5".
This is what a 6'9.5" measured guy looks like next to Russell. Click Here
Alonzo Mourning looks a little taller in comparison to Russell than Dwight does.

Still can't find the link, tried wayback as well, I'm not geeky enough I guess. However, I found the same excerpt in another bball forum:
Honey, They Shrunk The Kid: 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 11/2 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.

Kuki: agree, read the howard articles myself some time ago. He has several times in interviews laughed at people overestimating his height. About just Hedo, he once said that "even Hedo is taller than me," and on another occation said that "i'm six foot nine and a half".
There is one of your earlier posts on this page. So we know the 6'9.5" claim was in 2006 at the latest. I actually haven't been able to find it anywhere.
6'9.5" seems right for Howard.

Think he's closer to 6'8 than 6'7, but no way 6'9. I don't think Howard has grown that much since the 6'9 measuring. Remember he claimed 6'9.5 at one time, but it might be a stretch. I've seen Kobe claim 6'4 before, and his wife said she measured him at home at 6'4.75. He also said "I'm probably 6'5 in sneaks." Ed: how about a basketball-tread instead of all these player-threads taken you really do not want to much sports-related stuff here? Or am I wrong?

Lebron was measured 6-7 1/4 barefoot and 6-8 even in shoes when he was drafted. I heard he grew over the summer to 6-8 3/4 in shoes. That would make him 6-8 even at the time and that looks very accurate here with Darius Miles who measured 6-8 barefoot out of highschool at the pre-draft camp in 2000.

Lebron is atleast as tall as Miles.
I'm not sure I buy Lebron's 6'9" claim though.

ad Shaq is 7'1'' post from April 28th: Well, I may be fighting a losing battle(I mean the draftexpress link) but I'd put my money Shaq hasn't been a legit 7'1'' barefoot. Something stinks here. I haven't met him in person nor did his height measurements so my counter-arguments are based on my observation only; I have been watching him and his game from his very first games in the NBA, through the 1994 Basketball WC, 1996 Olympic Games until now and it has always been obvious to me his listed height doesn't match the real one (also, notice his own words of not being a legit seven-footer but under, plus the huge basketball lifts he's been wearing). My principal observation: a hell of a player, so dominant and athletic, one of a kind indeed although I have never liked his ugly shooting technique.

Lebron doesn't look much shorter than 6'9.5" Joe Smith or Dwight Howard but he struggles at 6'7" next to 6'4.75" Kobe Bryant. Click Here Click Here I can't figure that out because I think 6'4.75" is accurate for Kobe because he has also claimed 6'4" and he has at best an inch on 6'3.75" Dwyane Wade. Kobe also looks not much above 6'4" flat next to 6'7" Magic Johnson.

At best Dwight is an inch taller than Lebron so that eliminates 6'10" for Dwight unless Lebron is 6'9". Dwight was measured at 6'9" in 2004 so if he hasn't grown then I'd say 6'8" seems accurate for Lebron.
On the subject of Dwight's however I remember this 2004 ESPN article describes him as growing "nearly an inch" in summer workouts. Click Here That probably means 3/4 of an inch but we don't know if he truly did grow or if that is just BS like the rumors of Amir Johnson growing to 6'11.5".
I also remember about a year or 2 ago on this site many people claimed Dwight said he was 6'9.5" in an interview. Can anyone can confirm that and remember what interview that was?

6'8" at the very most, but he's built like a tank. LeBron played football in high school and could have gone pro in that sport as well.

Im going to say that 6-9 is impossible for him, simply because he sure doesnt look it with other players of similar height. 6-8 is possible I guess, but thats surely the highest you could ever go for Lebron.
