Shaquille O'Neal's Height
7ft ¼ in (214 cm)
American basketball player. He has stated 7ft 1 as his height and also 6ft 11. He was measured just under the mark, although DraftExpress noted that he was supposed to have been measured 7ft without shoes in 1992 and it is possible he was near 7ft 1 in shoes. One journalist noted that "At the [draft] camp in Chicago, a lot of guys were measured smaller than they were supposed to be. Shaquille came in at just over 7 feet and 303 pounds"

Wemby measured 7’3.5 but is still listed 7’3 by San Antonio. Not sure if that’s a low for him and he has an Afro but I wouldn’t hesitate to say he’s 7’3.25 at a low perhaps. Not under 7’3 anyway even at night

At his peak, I'd say about as close to 7' even as possible without shoes, maybe just a shade over. Nowadays with all the weight he's carried for decades, I'd say 6'10" and change, maybe a bit less. Howard Stern was only a few inches shorter than him when he interviewed him and while Howard's a hugely tall man, it still indicates that Shaq wasn't as tall as he's made out to be.

Around 7'0 imo.
@recapa - Shareef's likely done growing as he's now 23, but him being shorter than Shaq shouldn't be that shocking. Many basketball players are anomalies in height. Though Shaq's own parents were reported to both be tall, neither was near his own height. Genes can be unpredictable. Even if Shaq had children with a very tall woman, it's not guaranteed that they would've exceeded his own height.

I tend to believe Shaq is 6'11" and some change like he claims. Reason being is in most photos you see him standing with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who is known to be a true 7'1", Shaq looks around 2 inches shorter when Kareem actually has proper posture. Bill Walton said the same exact thing when he admitted he was under 7 feet - Kareem is the true barometer. Shaq and Walton look to be around the same height when you see them together so I believe that neither of them is actually a true 7 footer but pretty darn close.

@Alex: correct. 6’6 listing in college. I almost always measured around 6’4 1/2 and they gave me 6’4.75 once I believe. Then again we had practices at 6 am at times. I was always referred to as 6’5” barefoot since they rounded those up.

@Viper: if Rob doesn’t believe the 6’11.75” then he should just list him 7’0” being there’s a distinct difference with he and Wilt and he and Kareem. He should knock the 1/4” off since he’d still be 7’ at lunch as opposed to 7’0.25

DraftExpress has updated Shaq's height to a measured 7'1" WITHOUT SHOES at age 19.
He could have grown 1/4" or more after that.
Click Here
"On the subject of freaks of nature, I have to bring up Shaq. In 1992, Shaq measured 7’1” without shoes, weighed 303 pounds, recorded a 35 inch vertical and had his wingspan measured at 7’7”. To put that in perspective, from the minute he entered the league and for the next 10 years Shaq was the strongest player, the most athletic big man, one of the tallest players, one of the longest players and one of the quickest big men. His body fat was measured at a surprisingly low 12.2% too. A 1992 St. Paul Pioneer Press article said he even had veteran team physicians in awe of his physical stature. 7’0”, 255 listed Hakeem Olajuwon was so small compared to Shaq that he was estimated at 6’8”, 235 after standing next to him. - Source: Click Here ©DraftExpress"
He measured just over 7’0”. Then updating it means nothing

Rob, how much taller than Travis Knight do you think Shaq is in this team photo?
#40 Travis Knight was listed at 7'0" and measured 6'11 1/2" barefoot.
Notice how even with his hair, the top of Travis Knight head does not reach above the doorway or window, while the top of Shaq's is well above the doorway and window even with his shaved head.
I have linked the team photo as well as the newspaper article with the Travis Knight's with and without shoes measurements. You will have to click on 6 Travis Knight to be taken to his measurements.
I think Shaq is at least 1 1/2" taller if not more, but I'd like to know what your expert opinion is if possible.

Big Show also had a hip replacement in recent years. He has lost a TON of height since the 1990's. He had at least 2-3" on a PEAK Kevin Nash in the WCW.

Canson's so called points can EAILY be disproven as usual. Here's 6'10" barefoot measured Lamar Odom with Kobe.
Odom himself claimed 6’9.5 on All the Smoke. I posted that and Rob said he’s 6’9” max next to Vitali Klitschko. He is 6’9 next to Kobe. Odom doesn’t have 5” on Kobe.
Also to disprove another one of your points, Kevin Durant didn’t grow to 6’11”. He measured 6’9.5” in 2019
You’re an idiot. Stop posting. You still believe that Hogan was 6’8 9/16 and 6’9.25 and claim your “imaginary” chiropractor who is probably you, claims he was. You want everyone to be taller to be more impressive is the problem. If Shaq was 7’1 it means Kareem was 7’3”. Kareem was always listed 7’2 which is customarily rounded up from 7’1 1/2-7’2 range he was measured at. Kareem was max 7’1 7/8 like Rob lists him or perhaps even 7’1.75” at a low. Guys that size can lose over an inch in a day

I saw a picture of him recently at the Robert Waltham Museum, where you can measure yourself against the tallest person in the world. Shaq was actually over 7'2 in shoes. So 7 feet and a quarter, flat footed, is probably fair. I think he's probably a little taller than that, personally - I think he's close to 7 feet 1.

@recapa Wembanyama is only 18 it's possible with how his frame looks he's been growing right up til today so maybe when he was 17 he was 7'3"? Either way he's at the height where if he was any taller it would probably be seen as a draft negative. NBA player who are legitimately above 7'2" tend to be quite injury prone and have shorter careers.

Being an extremely tall person, Shaq loses more height than the average person so he likely falls under 7ft. Maybe he falls to 6'11.75 after being awake for 12 hours on a typical day?”
True. He might lose around 3 centimeters of height between the time he wakes up and the time he goes to bed since his spine is longer.

By recent comparisons Dikembe looks max same height as Kareem this days(pics posted by me on 27 Jul) but Kareem this days looks notably shorter than his peak by comparing a young Kareem next to Magic and a 70s Kareem next to again Magic (pics posted by me on 07 August).
This means Dikembé very probably is a bit under 7'1" now ,but even by droping a little bit height still looks a good inch taller than Shaq ...(pic posted recently too).

I don't buy anything below 215cm for a prime Shaq.
He looked every bit of 7'1 to be honest...
Btw did Magic Johnson have a growth spurt in his 50's or something ?
Guy looked tall AF with Tyson Fury and now on the pic with Kareem... Did he start using lift to back his BS 6'9 listing or something ..?

I was watching some old replays of Shaq in his years with the Lakers, and it’s impressive how a man of his size could move the ball quickly. It looked like he could practically beat down everyone on the court without even breaking any sweat. Most of the time he was out there, the man could just clog the lanes with his power and mass, and he was a good dunk back force on offense.
I’d estimate that he’s about 7 feet tall, maybe a weak one at that.

There are quite a few photos of Shaq and Kevin Garnett, and sometimes Shaq is closer to the camera, and sometimes Kevin. This is probably the best picture, both guys seems to be the same distance from the camera, standing in similar postures.

Bang on an inch difference there. Shaq also looked slightly taller than David Robinson, who is just under 7ft. And i have posted a pretty good picture of Shaq and Patrick Ewing, who is not under 6'10. Shaq is easy 2in taller there. If you care to check Duhon's post on 12/jul/22.

Shaq is right around 7 feet, you can debate whether he might be the 6' 11 3/4" he mentioned or if he's just over 7 foot as he reportedly measured... And maybe both figures are correct but just taken at different times in the day. One thing Shaq was not though is 6'11" flat. He looked as tall or slightly taller than Dalip Singh and he was taller than Kevin Garnett who was a solid to strong 6'11".

In the newest interview, june this year, Shaq claims 7'1 so either he doesn't know his real height, or he is joking again. Anyway, he has been measured hair over 7ft, so that's how he should be listed here, just like Rob does. It's up to Rob weather Shaq needs a peak/current height. He's much heavier now, so it's possible he has shrunk a bit. Can still look 7ft though, when standing tall. Peak 6'11 not possible.
By my recent comparison Shaq /Dikembe / Kareem each time standing around same distance to the camera ,Shaq is clearly a bit under 7'0" .

@ Pierre ,
There are a bunch of Kareem and Shaq pics around, some angles not the greatest but generally Speaking I always felt ( Prime for Prime) Kareem would be noticeably taller than Shaq. People who grew up in Shaq's era that Didn't watch or see Kareem are always a bit taken Back that Kareem is that Tall. ( FYI a Side note, I don't think Kareem could have stopped Shaq on the inside b/c of Shaq's weight and strength, however Shaq wouldn't stop the Sky Hook either ).
@ Canson
Yeah with Kane , I usually Check the pictures out where he took on the undertaker as Isaac Yankeem and didn't wear the Big Kane Boots. he was Taller than Taker, but without the Lifts, I'd say it was only an inch tops ( From what I remember). Tyson Fury is 6'7 to me, Was Listed that Once officially early on and With Strowman and Wilder at different times did not look 6'8 to me. Kane I figured to be around 6'6.5 to 6'7. I don't think Kane was ever 6'8 honestly and at times I don't think Nash was ever 6'10. I may be the Minority on that.

@Jordan87: exactly. And I know the pic isn’t the best but it’s better than any of Pierre’s. Look at Fury or Kane’s pages where he swears they’re 6’6 and 6’5” lol. Kane has at least an inch (conservatively) on Donovan Smith who measured 6’5.75 but you know how conservative I am with pre draft measurements knowing how early they occur. It’s likely that the max he is at his low (I’m also conservative with this as Rob uses lunchtime) is 6’5.5”. Kane is no less than 6’6.5” today and if we get very conservative 6’6.25”. But I really think he’s 6’6.5 minimum today

@Rob. Finally…..just about as perfect of picture evidence as anyone is ever likely to get. Shaq and Kobe stood on even ground with pretty much equal stance and footwear (if anything a slight advantage to Shaq with usual thick soles). It is plainly obvious to anyone that there is an absolute max of 6.75-7” inch difference between the 100% height of 6’4.75” Kobe. Shaq is 6’11.5” and 7’1” in trainers. Time to once and for all shut down this club called (Shaq is over 7ft). If this doesn’t warrant a downgrade then nothing can.

@Jordan87: I’ve always wondered with Shaq because he wears thicker footwear. Maybe it really was the case where he was 7’0 flat and Show 6’11” peak. Now I will agree with you that I don’t think Show was 7’0” at his peak. 6’11 is what I initially had then I thought maybe he was 6’11 plus. I’ll just say 6’11 flat though. Today I wonder if he’s lower. He looked max 6’10.25 with Shaq if he’s 6’11.75 and 6’10,5 with him if he is 7’0”

@Robbe: I doubt he’s lost much if any. 6’11.5 is possible for him now a days and so Is 6’11.75 still but so is 7.

@Pierre: if finding objective pictures were your career, you would be jumping from job to job every month. You would likely not even make it off probation. You can’t choose pics that only disadvantage the person you want to make shorter. All of yours favor Lesnar or they are just bad pics instead

In my recent pic(21 July) ,Shaq next to Dikembe is under 6'11.75" if Dikembe has a good list.
Around 6'11" seems a real possibility but nothing close to 7'0" imo.
And Dikembé by Kareem isn't taller than his 7'1.25" list imo.

Shaq is a joker. He is still an easy 7ft. Here with 6'4 Ngannou Click Here
Ngannou seems to be slightly closer to the camera, so he is favored there.
Also, Giannis being taller than Shaq is ridiculous. Gia is visible shorter than legit 6'11 guys, like Kevin Garnett, so he can't be taller than Shaq lol. I believe Rob's listing is pretty much bang on, hair over 7ft.

I just found another clip of Shaq calling himself 6' 11". And it's recent. I remember seeing a clip years ago where he was on Howard Stern, and it was the first time I heard him say he was under 7'. That clip disappeared, but this one was from 2020.
At around the 3:10 and then at 3:46 he says he's 6' 11 3/4": Click Here
Here is Shaq with 7' 1" Kareem and 7' 5" Tacko Fall: Click Here
I think these days 6' 10" range in socks is much more likely than 7' 0". NBA is legendary for inflating heights in the modern era.

@ Canson,
Yeah Basically I think Show would have lost a bit More than Shaq. I think he would have been around 1.25" Off from Shaq in his prime.
they Were both around 40 years old when they Faced off for the First time I believe. I saw Show being around 1.75 Shorter than Shaq at that time. He may have been only around 1.25" Shorter in his prime. If Shaq is something like 6'11.75, I still See Big show slightly dipping below 6'11 in his prime.
Who was actually stronger is an interesting question.
I have heard Shaq benched 450 pounds in His Prime, Show supposedly did 500 a couple times but who really knows about any of those Numbers.
Naturally, Shaq was a Freak athlete and it was almost Stupid how fast he moved for a 315-395 pound Man. Issue is, Show was most always naturally heavier than Shaq and in his prime ( 2000 ) Big show had Shoulders that had to be at least 3 feet Wide

@Jordan87: I don’t know if he lost the extra 1/4” for sure but 7’0 flat is the most I can see for Shaq in his prime. He wore thicker foot and apparently still does. But comparing him to Big Show, I don’t deny that Show would’ve lost more height than Shaq being Show was a wrestler. Show May have been closer in height with Shaq in his prime

@ Canson,
That's the Thing, If Shaq was serous with his Claim of 6'11.75, then Show is shorter then 6'11 easily.
Click Here
They are both the Same age so if what your Saying is True, Show would have to have lost more height then Shaq ( Which is possible since Show carried more weight around then Shaq did during his life), however I don't think its by that Much since Shaq is massive ( Weighed More than 350 past the late 90's, As High as 395 in 03-04.
At times I see 1.5", other times I see 1.5-1.75" easily between them, like the Video above ( Looks more than 2") and this below Picture. Looks 1.75"
Click Here
When you are dealing with People who are around 7'0, I always have the Idea that they can loose more height during the day then normal Folk. I See Show at 6'11 at some point in the Day ( Peak FYI), and during his prime ( Which I consider 1999-2003) I feel he was anywhere from 6'10.5" to 6'11 for most of the day.
I'm Still not convinced he is Solidly over 6'11" at Peak.
That being Said, and people will hate me for this, Show was tons better in the ring and on the Mic than Andre was. His Athleticism in his early days in WCW was astonishing, albeit I feel he was around 390 back then. I know During the Time of WrestleMania 2000 he was confirmed at 430 pounds.

@Jordan87: Hulk was listed 6’7 and 6’8 and I’ve heard him claim 6’5 and 6’7 in his prime along with 6’6 maybe once. I believe him to have been 6’5-6’6 range peak. Meaning maybe he was 6’6 out of bed which I believe he was and 6’5.25 at his afternoon. The best case was that he was maybe 6’6.5 and lost an inch throughout the day to get to 6’5.5”. Worst case 6’5.75 and dipped to 6’5 flat but he was somewhere in that range and he could’ve potentially lost a full inch. Some guys in that range do but usually that’s a bit taller for someone to lose a full inch. Even Junior Hernandez is 6’5 5/8 or 6’5 3/4 and doesn’t lose a full inch. Christian doesn’t either but he’s shorter than Junior. As a matter of fact my 6’7 friend is around 7/8” height loss for the day but not sure if he didn’t wake to 6’8 in his prime. He’s almost 43 years old.
As for Show and Shaq, I didn’t see 2” between them. It looked about 1.5” but that wasn’t Big Show at his peak I doubt. A leak Show I do believe was over 6’11” but not 7’0”. He may have dipped to 6’11 flat at a worst case. Shaq if he were 6’11.75 like he claims May put Show at 6’10.25 or .5 then and maybe 6’10 today.

@ Canson,
Agree, and to be honest, Shaq is one of the Reasons why I refuse to take Big Show over 6'11, but that's another Story. I always tend to see 2" between them.
If Hogan was that tall, as in around legit 6'9, the WWF would have listed him at 7'0. He was listed at 6'8 by the Promotion but we are supposed to think he is taller. Nah Man.

Shaq's a jokester that makes up like like David Robinson not giving him an autograph when he was in high school and Shaq only being 6'11 3/4".
If you want to look at a REAL 6'11 3/4" barefoot center, it's Michael Olowokandi who was measured at 6'11 3/4" barefoot.
Garnett always edged out Michael Olowokandi in height so Garnett always slouched, bent over slightly, or tilted his head to appear shorter.
Garnett hated being called a seven footer or a giant and always wanted to be considered 6'11" because that's just a really tall guy but not a freak of nature or a giant. Shaq always TOWERED over Garnett while Garnett always edged out 6'11 3/4" barefoot Michael Olowokandi.

I agree with Chaos that he could be 6’11.75 at his low but a guy his size, He could be easily 7’1 out of bed

I'm sure everyone agrees with you that Shaq was a freak Athlete, but he doesn't have to be 7'1+ to be that. He moved incredibly well for a man of his size, which was around 7'0, give or take 1/4.
your Statements of " At least 7'1" are not valid at all.

Rob, I distinctly remember reading an article in 1995 when I visited Orlando close to where Shaq was living. It said his barefoot height was 212cm which equates to 6’11.5” but with his usual basketball boots he came in at over 7’1”. He would have been 23 yrs old at that time (I was 17) he would have been fully grown. I just wish to God I had proof of this me article to back this comment up but I don’t. I do personally believe that to be his true height though (6’11.5”) but considering he nearly always had his larger than normal soles on the court……this would have course given him a bit of an advantage when stood alongside others. I’d say maybe as much as 0.75-1 inch. So of course he would give off an impression of comfortably over the 7ft mark. One possible way to back this up is to google Kobe & Shaq stood together. We know pretty much 100% that Kobe was 6’4.75” barefoot and he came up to around bottom of Shaq’s nose when wearing similar footwear. My money would be on 6’11.5” without a shadow of a doubt. However I do expect an influx of comments to follow that disagrees with me because it will no doubt mess up their long established theories. But what the heck haha.

@Henry: in case you can’t decipher, read what Rob posted above
He was measured just under the mark, although DraftExpress noted that he was supposed to have been measured 7ft without shoes in 1992 and it is possible he was near 7ft 1 in shoes. One journalist noted that "At the [draft] camp in Chicago, a lot of guys were measured smaller than they were supposed to be. Shaquille came in at just over 7 feet and 303 pounds"
But I don’t expect you to take that seriously being you believe your chiropractor saying Hogan was taller than he claimed to be. Hogan has claimed 6’5 to 6’7 never 6’8” let alone 6’8 9/16 or 6’9 1/4”

Nobody agrees with you, Henry. It’s because shaq was listed taller here previously. Rob had him closer to 7’1 before and that’s his NBA listing.
But I’ll turn it around on you. So i guess you think people agree with you and your “therapist” or “chiropractor” that Hulk Hogan is “6’9.25 or 6’8 9/16”? Sorry. Don’t see the average guess for Hogan for his peak even at the 6’6” he’s listed. It’s 6’5.7ish.
PS- nobody here takes you very seriously. May be best to stop

Zydrunas Ilgauskas was measured at 7'2" without shoes in pre draft measurements and listed at 7'3" for his career.
Unfortunately the links to the original sites are dead but the quotes from those sites with REAL HEIGHTS are still there.
He's barely taller than Shaq if taller at all. Shaq DEFINATELY needs a height upgrade to at least 7'1.25".

KD probably has half inch on Cousins. KD is probably appropriately listed 6’9.5 and probably is his low while Boogie is probably 6’9 flat at his. He was 6’9.5 morning height

@Shane: yea and KG is prob a solid 6’11 at best. He was shorter than Embiid and Brook Lopez. Shaq looks max 7’ imho. The more telling photos are with Kareem. He’s 2” shorter than Cap. But Shaq wore thicker footwear during his career at times too

Zydrunas has about 2” on Shaq Henry. Terrible pics
How do you explain 7’0.5-7’1 Wilt Chamberlain and 7’1 7/8 Kareem having an inch or two inches on Shaq? Shaq was at most 7’0 flat but I can see a bit under at his low 6’11.75 is a worst case and that’s only if his footwear was padded but I don’t see over 7’0.25 that Rob lists him

@Henry this is a very solid image of Shaq and Garnett. About an inch there of height difference or a shade more, but Garnett has knees slightly bent AND Shaq's shoes look considerably taller. Your assertion that Shaq "towered" Garnett clearly isn't the case:

@Henry your photos aren't good for determining height. While we all know KD is a little taller than Cousins, KD is closer to camera and at an angle that helps him and hurts Cousins. Your second photo isn't even a photo and your third photo has KD with head down more than Shaq, further away than Ehaq and slumped more than Shaq, which all favor O" Neal. 99% of listings at that time were shoe heights. Had Shaq been 7'1" barefoot he would have been listed 7'2" or 7'3". Keep in mind , Shaq always wore very thick shoes on the court as well.

Shaq was only about 3 months older than Kevin Durant during pre draft measurements.
Kevin Durant grew from 6'9" barefoot to close to 6'11" barefoot from age 19 years and 9 months to age 21.
Demarcus Cousins was measured at 6'9.5" barefoot and 6'10.75" with shoes. Kevin Durant is MUCH taller than Demarcus Cousins because he grew till 21 or later. Shaq ALSO grew till 21 or later and he was shorter than Tree Rollins during pre season and much taller than Tree Rollins by age 22. Shaq also clearly towered over famously called Six Foot Thirteen Kevin Garnett who refused to be called a seven footer because a 7 footer is a freak and a giant while 6'11" is just a really tall guy. Many people believe that Shaq is 7'2" barefoot. You'd literally get laughed at by 99% of people in the world if you said Shaq is less than 7'1" barefoot.

Time for a height upgrade to 7'1" barefoot at age 20(grew after that) for Shaq.
"On the subject of freaks of nature, I have to bring up Shaq. In 1992, Shaq measured 7’1” without shoes, weighed 303 pounds, recorded a 35 inch vertical and had his wingspan measured at 7’7”. To put that in perspective, from the minute he entered the league and for the next 10 years Shaq was the strongest player, the most athletic big man, one of the tallest players, one of the longest players and one of the quickest big men. His body fat was measured at a surprisingly low 12.2% too. A 1992 St. Paul Pioneer Press article said he even had veteran team physicians in awe of his physical stature. 7’0”, 255 listed Hakeem Olajuwon was so small compared to Shaq that he was estimated at 6’8”, 235 after standing next to him.

Shaq at his peak easily cleared 7'. At his present age, weight and often posture I can see how he can sometimes look under that mark now. I wonder if people 6'11" and above tend to shrink earlier due to the stressors on the body of supporting that frame?

@Editor Rob: here is West with Baylor in their primes. There 6’3 looks plausible as it’s not a guarantee Baylor was 6’5 flat but the 6’2.75 he supposedly measured also lines up. He lost some height later though. Also the list I posted shows Boban at 7’2.25. He’s only listed 7’3 on the Mavs Roster. I doubt he really grew. Kristaps Porzangis was measured 7’1.25 when he was drafted and maybe he gained a fraction or maybe not. He didn’t look more than 7’1.25 to maybe 7’1.5 next to Carmelo. Boban had an inch on Kristaps. Maybe Boban gained a fraction but not an inch. He’s not what you list him here. Also Wilt was measured 7’0.5 according to this but not sure if it’s 100% accurate

@Editor Rob: Jerry West looks 6’3” or so there. Maybe he was a 6’3+ guy peak or maybe he was a solid 6’3”. I don’t see 6’4 1/2” though nor do I see 6’4. Elgin Baylor was supposed to be 6’5 peak but not sure if he was exactly that. It’s what he was listed. He looks smaller by not standing straight and he’s aged in that pic. He’s since passed away. But was he 6’3.5 at some point during the day And claimed a shoe height? But that’s an aged Dr J who’s probably not much over 6’5 now and Magic on the other end. What do you think of West? I doubt he was 6’4.5 or even 6’4. Unless it’s a bad pic he doesn’t look as low as 6’2”. I’ve seen 6’3 listings for West too and saw he was measured 6’2.75 before

@Pierre: who am I being too generous too? Carmelo is 6’6 range. He measured that and he’s noticeably taller than Kobe. Kobe looks 6’4.75ish. The absolute worst you can argue conceivably for either guy is 6’6 and 6’4.5 and tbh I have Kobe taller than Jordan who I have at 6’4.5”. How is that too generous? I know myself that I’m over 6’4”. Been measured by a doctor and by myself at 6’4 1/4 and even up to about 6’4 5/8 (earlier in the day) by the doctor. I usually come out exactly what they tell me I am
Now onto Shaq. He may not have been a full 7’0 I’ll agree but he’s not a flat 6’11 either.
@Editor Rob: what do you make of this? This is an aged Kareem in 2018 next to an aged Magic Johnson and Shaq on the outside. Do you estimate Kareem to only be around 7’0” then? Shaq does look noticeably shorter. He honestly can look 6’11 range with Magic and Kareem. Not sure about 6’11 flat but 6’11 and change. This was 2018 when Shaq would’ve been 46 approaching 47

@Pierre: if you’re going to select a photo don’t choose one that supports your narrative. Choose one that is objective. Mutombo is also closer to the camera than shaq. This is more of how they would look. Mutombo is closer to the camera here too. That’s not a 2 inch difference. Shaq May be 1.5” shorter at most but it can look an inch.

@Canson,lol it had been a "long time" you doesn't call my pics "cherry picked pics"... But... Sorry but in my pic (opposite to yours ) Mutombo isn't standing really closer to the camera plus he's standing in a poor posture...but still stands a good inch taller than Shaq ...
But I understand this new 6'11" revelation straight out of Shaq's mouth is a little bit problematic for you to explain my guesses on Tyson Deontay etc are bad,helped by my "cherry picked pics"😁

@Pierre: if you’re going to select a photo don’t choose one that supports your narrative. Choose one that is objective. Mutombo is also closer to the camera than shaq. This is more of how they would look. Mutombo is closer to the camera here too. That’s not a 2 inch difference. Shaq May be 1.5” shorter at most but it can look an inch. My recommendation is for rob to lower shaq to 7’0” flat. That’s fair imho

@Canson = So you claim Shaq isn't 6'11" but he claims himself 6'11".Clearly he's no more than 6'11" next to Dikembe sleeping on him in this pic... Giannis Antetokounmpo 6'11" said recently he was taller than Shaq and Shaq explained that by the fact he was 6'11" peak... So probably suggesting even a bit under now...
He claimed 6’11.75, Pierre. That’s not hard to understand
... depending if you prefer his 6'11.75" measured by this heightgauge or if you prefer his 6'11" revelation suggested like measured by a medical heightgauge ...

@Pierre: you seem dense. Shaq knows how tall he is. Him saying he’s 6’11 is him saying he’s closer to 6’11 than 7’3” that Ernie thought he was. Shaq was never 7’3” or listed at that though. He was listed 7’1”. His combine measurement was a little over 7’0” which aligns with 6’11.75 being his low. Did he downplay 1/4”? Maybe he did but he’s not 6’11” for sure
Don’t bother with him Canson, he’s the same guy who said John Cena was 5’10” and Tom Cruise 5’5”

@Duhon: yea those two along with Kevin Willis aren’t 7’. Willis was 6’10 as well as he claimed once I think. Not sure about Jon Koncak but he was prob similar. Ewing I’m not sure how tall he was meaning 6’9.75 like he claimed or if he was a strong 6’10 guy (6’10.25) but somewhere between the two imho. I could see Olajuwon being a weak 6’10 though. Shaq was definitely taller than all of them. The only one close to him was Robinson who was probably similar along with Vlade Divac who was measured 6’11.5”. Divac and Robinson were close in height. Imho the Admiral was either the same or maybe 1/4” taller at best. Then Rik Smits and Mutombo were taller along with Mark Eaton and Yao and Dwayne Schintzius I think along with Jim Mcilveine etc

I think Shaq is about as strong an example of a 7 footer as you can get. I don't believe he's much over 7' like Wilt and Kareem were but he almost dwarfs "fake" 7 footers like Patrick Ewing and Hakeem Olajuwon when next to them and always looks taller than legit 6'11" guys like Kevin Garnett and Bill Walton.

Shaq didn’t lie. He claimed 6’11.75”. Are you calling 6’11.75 a lie now? And if you look at Garnett he is clearly a 6’11 guy next to Carmelo Anthony or any other player who I could verify
Lol @Canson he doesn't lie he gives his real height start of the video ,so 6'11" peak ,and later in the video he gives 6'11.75",his measure with the generous height gauge behind him....So do you want to say he lied at the start of the video when he explain his official federation height was deliberately exagerated and he was in reality only 6'11" ?!Lol very unlikely, he would risk having problems with the federation !=probability he lie on his 6'11" claim = 0.000001 % lol
@Pierre: He was clearly rounding his height down to 6’11 in the beginning. He said I’m 6’11.75 “I’m telling you”. He’s clearly too tall to be 6’11 when his head actually appeared slightly above 7’ at times.
So is Tim Duncan 6’8 or 6’9? Shaq looks over 7’0 next to him

Favored here but no way he’s just an inch taller than Duncan

Here he is with 6’11 Kevin Garnett and 6’10 Tim Duncan. How is Shaq 6’11 here? Even with his footwear likely giving him more and with him having better posture he’s still taller than those guys

If you see this pic, Duncan looks 6’10 next to 6’6.25 Carmelo Anthony. Garnett looks a solid 6’11 and Dirk somewhere in between Duncan and Garnett. Melo isn’t standing completely straight in the pic either. Melo in person is near enough what Rob lists him. He’s no more than 2” taller than I am but no less than about that either. Looked about as close to 2” difference as it gets imho

@Viper: I can see him only measure 6’11.75” but no lower. I only say that because someone that size can lose enough in a day to dip below 7’0” even if he wakes to 7’1”. He effectively is about 7’0” tall though and that’s what I would list him. I wouldn’t give him the 1/4” that Rob did however. If you see him with Kareem and Wilt it’s 2” with Kareem and close to an inch with Wilt
Canson it seems to be a problem Shaquille would be only 6'11" peak claimed by himself...Finally all your guesses by comparing other guys to Shaq would be a little bit exagerated ...Finally Pierre wouldn't be a "downgrader" and Canson would be an upgrader....
If Shaq 6'11, then Deontay Wilder 6'5
You obviously aren’t that intelligent, Pierre. You see that I’m actually partially in agreement that Shaq probably shouldn’t have the extra 1/4” Rob gave him but 7’0” flat at most. However, you really believe he’s 6’11”? That means he’s the same height as Kevin Garnett. I feel Garnett should be listed 6’11 flat and Dirk Nowitzki 6’10.5ish maybe 6’10.5-.75. Are you saying Shaq is only half inch taller than Nowiztki? And like Ice said, Wilder is 6’5 if Shaq is 6’11”. Wilder is clearly a 6’6 range guy. And I’m actually a bit looser with lowering someone from what Rob lists them. I don’t believe 6’6.5 is Wilder’s low but I doubt he’d be much shorter than Carmelo Anthony who I could affirm is about what he’s listed here. I think Wilder qualifies for what Melo is listed or slightly less but not below 6’6”.

@Duhon: the first pic has Shaq favored so it looks more but yes it does generally look at least an inch. I could say Garnett is 6’11 flat, which I can believe only because he can even appear shorter than 6’11.25 Brook Lopez. Not sure if Lopez gained or if Garnett May have lost height these days. but I doubt below 6’11 in his prime. I don’t rule out 6’11.75 at a low for Shaq but anything below that I would. I only don’t rule it out because Wilt claimed to only be 7’0.5 before and Shaq looked at least 2” shorter than Kareem. Shaq’s shoes may have given added thickness but I still say he would have to have at least 2 cm on Garnett and is definitively taller. He really looked at least 7’0” flat on TNT in the link

@Pierre:
He did claim 6’11.75”. This is after he claimed 6’11 in the same video. Why would he be so specific if he isn’t that height? They (his studio mates) all thought he was at least 7’0” including Barkley who didn’t believe he was over that mark. So you’re saying He was shorter than Kevin Garnett? Or the same height? No he wasn’t. He was taller. And I’m being fair in saying Garnett was probably just a solid 6’11” peak afternoon height

6'11.75" is far more believable than 6'11" flat. Of course the exact figure depends on the time of day you measure him, I believe that he probably did measure just over 7 feet for the draft. Might have been a bit earlier in the day though, and maybe he creeps under 7 foot later in the day.

@Viper: I can see him only measure 6’11.75” but no lower. I only say that because someone that size can lose enough in a day to dip below 7’0” even if he wakes to 7’1”. He effectively is about 7’0” tall though and that’s what I would list him. I wouldn’t give him the 1/4” that Rob did however. If you see him with Kareem and Wilt it’s 2” with Kareem and close to an inch with Wilt
Canson it seems to be a problem Shaquille would be only 6'11" peak claimed by himself...Finally all your guesses by comparing other guys to Shaq would be a little bit exagerated ...Finally Pierre wouldn't be a "downgrader" and Canson would be an upgrader....
If Shaq 6'11, then Deontay Wilder 6'5

First time anyone has ever said that to me on this site or at least one of the first couple. It’s usually the opposite.
By the way Pierre, some food for thought. How is Shaq 6’11 flat? He’s clearly taller than Kevin Garnett. KG is an inch taller than Tim Duncan and also slightly taller than Nowitzki. Shaq is no less than the 6’11.75 he claimed. That’s the height he claimed to a T. Guess you can’t read what Rob wrote

I don't know why, but I've always had a gut feeling that this guy is not truly in the 7ft range barefoot.
He's huge, no doubt, but I would not be surprised at all to see him measure between 6'10.5-6'11.5 before bed. 7ft+ out of bed is of course a given.
If he truly is below 7 I still have no problem with him claiming it. He's close enough! I mean a true 6'11 is so gigantic who can tell the difference anyway? Much less, who's going to call him out on it?
One reason I feel he's a little below 7 is looking at a totally legit TOWERING 7'1.5 Richard Kiel (Jaws) I can't help but feel that he's a fair bit shorter than him. Somewhere between 2-3 inches. Again, just a gut feeling. Could easily be wrong.
I'll guess and give him 6'11 and a quarter.

It’s possible to use Shaq as a measuring stick for other celebrities who stand by him:

If the top of a celebrity’s head comes up to the center of his shoulder, then they’re around 6’1 1/2” in footwear. The bottom of Shaq’s chin tips the 6’3 1/2”-6’4” mark.

He may have rounded down from 6’11.75 but a 6 pm measurement shouldn’t be excluded from consideration if a 6 am measurement isn’t. In fact it’s closer to normal than a 6 am measurement

I could’ve seen them beating San Antonio if things had gone differently and 2004 against Detroit if Karl Malone hadn’t gotten hurt. Hell his team in Orlando wasn’t too shabby in 95 but the Dream and Clyde the Glide swept them lol. They were younger and still figuring it out. Then someone we know well who is my favorite of all time came out of retirement in 95 and took it personal the next season and his team went 72-10 lol

Shaq is the definition of a strong 7'er, I can easily believe he was 7'1"+ in the morning at least. He was slightly edged by Wilt who was a strong 7'1"er and by Kareem who was a true 7'2" or just fractionally under like Rob has him listed.

Maybe I'm crazy lol, but I still believe 7'1" for peak Shaq. And 7'0.25" or 7'0.5" current. I believe he was joking when he said he was 6'11.75". Another thing, when he said he was 6'11.75, he said it was his 5'2" girlfriend who measured him, and that it was her that told him that height. Maybe she had some trouble measuring someone nearly 2 feet taller than her, just a thought.

Shaq is most definitely still 7'0, but was most definitely a 7'1 peak morning person.
His shoes most definitely have always been overly large to support his frame. So I'm guessing 7'1 ¼ peak, and 7'2 ½ in basketball shoes.
I'm guessing 7'0 ¼ now, 7'2 ¼ in shoes now. 7'3 ½, in his custom dress shoes.

He's easily 7'2 in footwear and actually looked a hair over it on that NBA programme, so barefoot he's got to be over 7'0 still as they weren't 2 inch sneakers.
I can buy 7'0.75 range peak and maybe between 7'0.25/7'0.5 today. Probably lost a fraction at 49 and carrying a lot of weight around especially since retirement.

@Canson That chart thing on TNT was super cool and I'd pay to have had a camera shooting at proper angle even with top of head. Camera was lower than him noticeably, so it's hard to tell if he was actually above that line for sure -- and, if so -- exactly how much. All that said, Shaq did always wear very thick shoes. I'd like to have some of those old Shaq shoes evaluated to see how much they added but some were VERY THICK. And I'm thinking as big as Shaq was and as smart as he is, he wore some thick orthotics as well, so he likely got more height out of his footwear than most players.

Camera was lower than him noticeably, so it's hard to tell if he was actually above that line for sure -- and, if so -- exactly how much. All that said, Shaq did always wear very thick shoes. I'd like to have some of those old Shaq shoes evaluated to see how much they added but some were VERY THICK.

I believe Shaq is taller than Pau Gasol who interestingly many on this site seem to believe is 7 feet.

@Chaos Control: you mean the 5’7 Iverson lol
The site says he’s 5’11 and we were taking 2 inches off, but thanks to your guess he’s now 5’5

@Canson I don’t know anything about basketball outside of Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Yao Ming, Lebron and Shaq to be honest so half my guesses are just made up (and most of the basketball pages I comment on are ones that popped up as random celebs). Don’t know anything about American football either, that’s another sport where random celeb teaches me about their athletes

@Canson well we all know that Yao is really 5’1, so Shaq could be as low as 4’10....

@Duhon: 😂. I could believe Barkley 6’4 range (albeit 194-195) but not Shaq at 6’10”. That would mean Garnett Dirk and Gasol were all taller. Maybe Shaq had mega lifts on the court that still enabled him to play without breaking an ankle 😂

They said he was measured just over 7'0 so the 7'0.25 listing could be spot on. It wasn't like an out of bed height. At worst couple hrs up.
