Yao's got about 4.75'' on Shaq here and he doesn't even have his head and shoulders fully up.

The two pics with of Ewing with Mutombo and Mourning aren't good for comparison because of the ground (look at Mourning's right foot in one of them). They're taken in the same place, or setting, that the one of Shaq with LeBron was, where Shaq looked 7 or 8'' taller due to the floor not being level. I would indeed put Ewing at probably 6'9 3/4'', Mourning 6'8 1/2'' tops, and Mutombo 7'0 1/2''.

allen 4 that pic of Yao is on a terrible angle. Also what is the point of comparing a 7 footer to someone 6'3"? i won't argue lsu alum that there is some evidence to back up your points but I feel there is more pointing to Shaq being 7'1". Shaq contradicts the 6'11.5" claim twice. Once at the 1989 All American Game when he was 17 yrs old saying he was 7 foot even. Now many people grow after that age much less a 7 footer. Shaq also then in that recent video contradicts the 6'11.5" claim saying he is 7'1".
Come on Jason...Ewing 6'9.5"? What is Greg Oden 6'9.5" and Alonzo Mourning 6'7"-6'8" while Mutombo is 6'11"-6'11.5"?

I don't think Patrick Ewing was joking. I would say he is 6'9 1/2'' or 6'9 3/4''.

why are we argueing Shaq's height? The dude is clearly 7 foot plus. I don't know where this 6'11" nonsense is coming from.

Shaq is 7'1 said on 27/Dec/07
"hi" that was the worst example possible. I say ewing must have been joking because Ewing looks atleast 6'11" in every possible picture. I posted pictures of ewing with 6'9" alonzo mourning and 7'1" Mutombo. Ewing looked every bit of 6'11" next to them aswell as next to 7'1" Shaq and 6'11" Greg Oden. I never heard prior to that anything of Ewing being much shorter than he was listed either. Hakeem Olajuwon who was listed 7'0" was well known to be closer to 6'10"(6'10.25"). Shaq saying he is 7'1" actually makes sense because he looks every bit that tall. Shaq also was already 7'0" at age 17....do you honestly think he didn't grow at all after that? People with big feet usually grow late anyway nevermind Shaq who has size 22 shoes and was 7'0" even at 17.

Shaq is 7-1 I think that shaq look a legit 7-1 because his shoes that add almost 2 inches height . So Rob have Shaq right. The most accurate way to compare Shaq with other big guys is with all big guys standing barefoot next to each others.

Patrick Ewing says he's 6-9 but you (Shaq is 7-1) say he must be joking and in fact he must be taller. Shaq says he's 7-1 but to you guys he's clearly saying the truth. Why is it that you just consider truth what fits your own belief? What if Ewing was saying the truth? Shaq could no longer be 7-1, right?

Shaq's shoes add 1.75" inches so yes nearly two. That is why Shaq gives the illusion of a legit 7'2" guy.

Shaq is 7'1 said on 26/Dec/07
I wouldn't say a lot of evidence. Shaq claiming he is 6'11.5" could be evidence but then again Patrick Ewing claimed he was 6'9" and he was clearly joking and Shaq could have been too. Shaq also claimed 7'0" at 17 yrs old and now a few years ago claimed 7'1". I think the main evidence against Shaq being 7'1" would be the 6'11.5" claim I can't think of any other evidence really against him being 7'1". Shaq often seems bigger than 7'1" like when he stood back to back with Yao. Shaq has also been listed as 7'2" and often described as 7'2" by Fox Sports, NBA.com, Sports Illustrated and ESPN. He was listed 7'2" around 2002-2003 I believe.

Editor Rob if you upgrade Yngwie to 6'3" despite a lot of doubt why not upgrade Shaq to his current claimed height of 7'1"? Certainly there is nothing weird about upgrading a man to the height he has been listed at for the past 20 years or so with the exception of when he was listed 7'2". Add that to the fact he claims he is 7'1" and usually looks that tall.

LMFAO! If Shaq is 6'10" then Kevin Garnett is like 6'8" and Duncan is only what 6'7"? Mourning would be only like 6'6" then.

I think that the picture with Ilgauskas backs up Shaq at 7'1". Ilgauskas is 7'2" barefoot I believe if Ilgauskas wasn't closer to the camera and Shaq wasn't leaning a bit they might look the same height. As far as the 6'11.5" claim if he did claim that it could have been like Patrick Ewing claiming he is 6'9".
MUTOMBO: [Sipping a virgin strawberry daiquiri] I like your restaurant, Yao. It's made for 7-footers and guys like Patrick Ewing, who is really 6'9". [Ewing has always been listed as 7 feet.]

Ilgauskas is listed at 7'3" in shoes and Shaq isn't much shorter. I think that proves that Shaq is 7'2" in shoes so easily over 7' barefoot. Look how much taller he is than legit 6'11" Jermaine O'Neal (Click Here).

Pre-draft measurements are taken by NBA officials, just like it says, prior to the draft. That's why alot of guys lose height when the NBA measures them. Sometimes they can compensate with a thicked-soled shoes if they choose to be listed in shoes.

It is very true that NBA heights are off by one to two inches. I heard NBA pre-Draft measurements are just taken from the players previous coaches and affiliation, so naturally the coach would want his player to have a better chance and list him taller. But heres the thing about ppl meeting NBA players after a ball game, after playing an Nba intenstity game there entire body is fatigued they spent the entire game curved down dribbling the ball which adds alot of stress, its very likely they are slouching. usually the more accurate heights are when you meet them outside a ball game.

Hey lsu alum in case you haven't figured it out yet. Nobody has a link of that supposed video.

BTW Chris I spend maybe 15-20 minutes per day on this site. The reason I am trying to prove he is 7'1" is because it seems so obvious to me. Especially next to 6'11" guys like Brad Miller and Kevin Garnett. here is Shaq with 6'8.75" Antoine Walker

Now some people will believe the measurements I posted were pre-draft and some won't but Shaq has for the record on video claimed 7'1". Maybe he has claimed 6'11.5" too. I don't know but based on how he looks 7'1" seems way more accurate.

Viper. Shaq obviously just chose his barefoot listing. Many players do that. I'll give examples
Kevin Durant- 6'9" barefoot, 6'10.25" in shoes, listed 6'9"
Vince Carter- 6'5.5" barefoot, 6'6.75" in shoes, listed 6'6"
Kevin Garnett- 6'11.25" barefoot, 7'0.5"-7'0.75" in shoes, listed 6'11"
I could list many more examples but I don't need to. Legit Brad Miller's head comes up to Shaq's eye brows meaning Shaq has him by 2.5" inches atleast. Of course Shaq's 1.75" shoes give him an advantage. I'll point to the evidence pointing to him being 7'1"
1.HE CLAIMS TO BE 7'1"!!
2.I found quite a few articles that appeared to be pre-draft measurements that had him at 7'1"
3.He looks atleast that tall making legit 6'10"-6'11" guys look small
4.He was already 7'0" at 17 years old
5.He was listed at 7'2" at one point
All of that points to him being 7'1". That is why I think he really needs an upgrade on this site. Especially since Rob wasn't so sure about upgrading Yngwie Malmsteen but did so because Yngwie claimed 6'3". He doesn't seem sure on Shaq but Shaq claims 7'1" in a video. So you can't say it is a misquote because we have video evidence.

Shaq is 7'1, great find! As I've said many times on this page, I'm from Indiana and I went to college with Brad Miller. There is no question about his height. I've seen him up close and personal on several occasions and he is a legit 6'11" barefoot which makes him 7'0" in shoes and Shaq has him by 1"+.

Shaq's shoes add 1.75". He is 7'1" barefoot and 7'2.75" in shoes. Most NBA player's shoes add atleast 1.25" inches nevermind Shaq's shoes.

Shaq looks 2.5" inches taller. I also provided a link to pre-draft measurements from 1998 stating Miller is 6'11" barefoot. Lsu if you are going to try to argue atleast provide links but you have clearly come unarmed. Shaq is 7'1" get over it. Players shorter than the heights they are listed were almost always listed below that in the past example(Duncan, Jordan, David Robinson, Kevin Willis ect.)

If Shaq was 214 cm barefoot he'd be over 218 cm in shoes anyway so I am pretty sure he meant barefoot. Also most of the time when people mention their height they mean barefoot unless they state otherwise. That video is good evidence. It also backs up that Shaq was as much as 365 lbs at one point.

If that height chart is accurate then it does rule out anything below 7'0.5" barefoot. Shaq isn't even wearing basketball shoes either. Those shoes may only add an inch or an inch 1.25" If Shaq had military posture he could probably squeeze out an extra half inch too.

Anonymous, haven't we asked that you stop posting ridiculous comments here? Exactly what kind of reach do you want a 7'1" guy to have, 10 feet?! Even some 7'6"-7'7" guys have to jump slightly to dunk. Also, arm length can vary greatly. Oliver Miller is 6'8" or 6'9" and he has a 7'7" wingspan. Ben Wallace is another example of a guy with very long arms for his height, as well.

As far as highest touch, vertical and Standing Reach i got that from a vertical leap site. And i got the wingspan and height with shoes from a site a long time ago...that is the only one I can't remember but I know they are accurate.

Shaq is often called 7'2". If he was 6'11 1/2" do you really think he'd be called 7'2" that often? Especially considering he doesn't have a slim frame to make him appear taller than he is. This is from a recent fox sports article

LMFAO. I can prove not all heights are listed with shoes. Look at pre-draft heights. You have the option of being listed barefoot or with shoes and in Steve Nash's case neither. Nash is 6'1" barefoot and 6'2" shoes.

Horry measured 6'8" at the 1992 pre-draft camp. Shaq towers over Horry and looks every bit of 7'1". Malone measured 6'8" at the 92' Olympics and the angle favors Karl. Here is a pic of Shaq with Karl on a better angle. The Mourning picture isn't a good one either. BTW Zo measured 6'9" at the 2000 Olympics.

This 6'11.5" stuff has yet to be proven. Supposedly, he said it on Howard Stern, but he was just joking. If he's 6'11.5" barefoot, Garnett is 6'9" barefoot and Duncan is 6'8" thus making everyone else in the league considerably shorter. Please someone show me a 6'11.5" listing. Also, he was drafted at age 20 (and looked very young and skinny) and adult males typically grow well into their early 20's, so even if he was 7'0" barefoot when he was drafted he could've grown some by 23 or 24. Also, in Vegas' draft video, the announcer says clearly says "7'1", 300 lbs".

See Serg knows Shaq was 7'1" at the pre-draft. I tried archive searchs for 6'11 1/2" and 7'0" NOTHING came up. Shaq admitted he was already 7'0" at 17 years old! You can't trust that graphic either because the graphic had Kobe at 6'6" in the 1996 draft. Go search for the old pre-draft measurements yourself...you will find 7'1" only. Yao does not look5 inches taller either. The back to back picture is a better pic to judge and Yao looks 4 inches taller at most in that pic

much better full length shots of duncan, garnett, yao and shaq Click Here
when yao stands up fully straight he is 5" taller than shaq, he is not standing up straight in the back-to-back shot and that is very clear.

Shaq always looked about the same height as legit 7'2" Arvydas Sabonis, legit 7'2" Zydrunas Ilgauskas and 7'4" listed Rik Smits(In reality probably 7'2"-7'3")

while i agree shaq is at least 7"-7'1" the wilt-shaq pic is misleading. in the full pic you can see shaq is closer to the camera than wilt
yet wilts shoulders and eyes are higher!!!

Editor Rob it is time for an upgrade I'd say the The Miami Herald and the Rocky Mountain News are legit sources. According to them his measurements at the 1992 draft were. "7-1, 303, 12% body fat" "all 7-1 and 303 pounds" Draft heights are the most accurate. Those sources are more legit than any source saying he is 7'0"

ROBERT HORRY, 6-8, 220, Alabama. Projection: mid-first round. Comment: athletic.
but Miner checked in at 6-3, 222

Kareem- 7'1 5/8"
Wilt- 7'1 1/16"(Prime), 7'0.5"(later years)
Shaq- 7'1"

Then why does it say he is 7'1" in 2 draft articles from 1992? They measure players at the pre-draft camp without shoes. Shaq is 7'1" barefoot and probably 7'2.75"-7'3" in shoes.

You gentlemen might wanna know this fact: without shoes, Shaq isn't 7-1; he's actually 7-0.25 -- around the same height as David Robinson (7-0.25), Tsakalidis (7-0.5), and a little shorter than Mutombo (7-1).
So why does Shaq look bigger than these guys in pictures? Well, Shaq likes to wear thick socks with bouncy insoles and shoes with thick rubber soles (you wouldn't catch Shaq wearing those thin-soled Air Huarache-type shoes), which makes him 7-2.5, to 7-2.75 with shoes on. I can understand why a lot of people think he's 7-1 barefoot, because, with those big shoes on (see pictures), Shaq is about the same height as -- or probably even taller than -- many legit 7-1-footers in shoes.
I won't tell you why I know this, but just trust me -- the information I gave is factual. I hope I can settle the other arguments here, but unfortunately this is the only area where I can guarantee a factual statement. Anyway,I hope this little info helps in any way. Good day gentlemen.

He's 7'2, this listing for him is close enough. Pretty much 7'2 it is. Whats this in fractions, like 7'1 3/4?
Shaq is more 7'0 flat and puts Kareem at 7'2 there.
Alex i beg to disagree because Shaq lowest possibly height is 7'0.5" but i cannot see him under that because he is least 3" taller than Tim Duncan, who is officially measured at 6'10" in the 1997 Draft Camp.

Annonymous, the only way to truly discover how tall Shaq is would be to measure him first thing at morning then last thing at night then take an average of the two measurements. Disregard all the other players heights because you never know if they are measured at morning which could mean difference on average height or true height. I personally believe that it is not totally impossible for Shaq to be close to 7'0.5-7'1" barefoot out of bed and 6'11-6'11.5" last thing at night! Either way he would probably dwarf me and you. Just as a matter of interest Annonymous what is your average height?

Shaq is more than a head bigger than Triple H. The problem with judging Shaq's height is he has to look down to talk to everyone so he often looks shorter. He was looking straight ahead in the picture with Hill which is why he towered over him. Shaq is 7'1" barefoot no more no less. He has big shoes which make him almost 7'3" though. Shaq looks to have 2.5"-3 inches on 6'10.5" Eddy Curry.

Believe me I was in Miami in a shopping center in the summer of 2005 and I saw his game shoes, his shoes are different from the ones of the other nba players, I've heard this is because of his weight so he need some centimeters of an elastic gel linig to absorb impact of his steps to not bother his knees, he is 213 barefoot (anyway no more than 214), and 217 or more with his shoes. Gasol is about the same height without shoes and garnett is and inch shorter believe me!

Davi, if you say Garnett is 212 I don`t understand how you say Shaq is 213, since he looks 4 or 5 cms taller. Talking about Gasol, I attended the Eurobasket final game and I can tell you he is 214 as he is listed in Europe. He even looked taller to me than Savrasenko, listed 217. Gasol was much taller than Kirilenko, who is listed normally 206 but for this championship I laso read 209. If O`Neal is taller than Gasol, O`Neal must be around 216 and he should be upgraded in this site

Shaq is 213 cm tall barefoot, he wears shoes that have at least 3 cm of elevation (I've seen them in Miami two years ago)
Kevin Garnett is taller than I expected, indeed is more than his nba listing, I think he is around 212 cm, anyway very close to 7 foot.
Another nba player I was impressed with, is Pau Gasol, Gasol is truly tall, clearly edges 213cm I think he is more about 215cm as he is listed in european championships.

Shaq was already 7'0" in 1989 at 17 years old so the 7'1" measurement from 1992 must be barefoot because even if he was still 7'0" in 1992(which he wasn't) he'd be 7'1.25"-7'1.75" in shoes. Shaq is 7'1" barefoot today.

There isnt any evidence that says Shaq was measured at 7-1 in socks. And after looking at the Duncan garnett picture, Id say Garnett looks the same height as Duncan considering Garnett has much better posture and is standing closer to the camera.

Only looks ~ half an inch to me. KG just has a smaller head and long neck, while Duncan has a longer head and short neck, which is making KG look taller against Duncan than he is. Look at where the tops of their heads come up to, not anything else. If Duncan is 6-10, then KG looks 6-10 1/2ish and David Robinson 6-11.

Shaq's said his weight ranged to a maximum of 360lbs. I can easily believe that - he has *huge* back around 2001. Many people thought he was 400.

Shaq was 303 on draft neight, probably slightly less after he worked out for the season and was in the low 300's most of his Magic career. Shaq weighed 315 in the 1999-2000 season but gained weight over the offseason and came to camp around 330. He eventually reached 370 in 02'-03' when he was injured at the start of the season and he was around 350 his las season in Los Angeles.

370lb seems an incredible weight for shaq. Paul Wight weighed 335lb in college in 1991 and about 370lb or so in WCW in 1995-96; i seriously doubt Shaq was ever as heavy as 370lb. Dont forget Dalip Singh's bodybuilding weight was 380lb (probably his current correct weight at present too), Shaq never looked to be within 40lb of Singh imo http://tinyurl.com/3xqbpn

I wouldn't if his Lakers trainer hadn't said he was 285 when he first came in the league. Exaggerating weight happens in sport - 303 sounds even more intimidating than 285. If you compare the NFL-listed weights of random football players with googling various sources for them, you'll find they add 5-10lbs to the average player and some are inflated by 20. The same thing would happen in the NBA to an extent.

Shaq`s pics should be judged next to players of similar height, not next to Charles Barkley or Beyoncé. Shaq always looks taller than expected next to other tall players, except in two cases: next to Yao and to KAreem Abdul Jabbar. For those pics I will not insist on Shaq being 7`1 barefoot. But Shaq looks at least two inches taller than 6`11 guys like Garnett or Nowitzki or Ewing. As tall as 7`2 (listed) Mutombo.
About the Gasol case in Spain he has always been listed as 2,15 but he honestly doesn´t look that tall to me, unless he never stands straight. 2`11-12 might be more accurate.

Bill Russell was 6'9 1/2" in his prime. Shaq and Mutombo both measured 7'1" and Ewing has claimed 6'9" but he might have been joking, Hakeem and Tim Duncan are both 6'10" and David Robinson is 7'0". Shaq clearly has about 2 inches on 6'11 1/4" Kevin Garnett. If Pau Gasol is 215 cm than Shaq must be 216 cm.

What I remember well is that Bill Russell was clearly taller than 6'7" Warren Coolidge (Byron Stewart) in the White Shadow, so I think Bill is 6'9" barefoot legittimate. And Rashaun is clearly taller than him. Comparing the Yao-Mutombo and Yao-Shaq pictures, Shaq absolutely doesn't look shorter than Dikembe. Yes, Shaq is a bit of a tall guy. How tall is Ewing barefoot ? 6'9" maybe ?

Come on we all know Shaq is over 7'1" in shoes no matter what. Even if he was 7'0" he'd be 7'1.25 or 7'1.5" in shoes atleast! I got pre-draft measurements from the same place here are some of them...they all seem to be barefoot. Also "all of 7'1" probably means barefoot
