He's not taller than Mertesacker, Mertsacker always looks much taller than Cech compared to how Carmelo looks with Cech in that pic

Also looks taller than Carmelo if we take Kenneth Faried as comparison

Editor RobNear 6ft 7 that moment beside Lebron, but look at the other guys, Davis in particular!! I think the camera is benefitting the left side, more than the right.

@Vincent: I’ll give him a strong 6’6”. He may dip down near the 6’6 mark but it’s probably on a rare day at night. He could look the listed height in person at his normal afternoon/evening height to be honest. Meaning at his normal low

Difference with him and Lebron shows how little an inch looks.

@Robbe: that’s surprising but it could be camera angle. I would’ve thought he would’ve had 2” on Hardaway. Maybe Hardaway is the full 6’4.5” at his afternoon if that’s the case

Sometimes, listings change. You never really know unless Rob has met the people in real life.
Yep. And his estimates have changed multiple times. Melo who I’ve met is what he’s listed here. He’s not 6’7 or around 6’7. An aged Scottie Pippen is taller than Melo and Melo had 1.5” on Kobe in multiple pics. But it’s funny how Rob’s estimate for Davis (despite him measuring 6’9.75” is more accurate). Rob stated that he did that because he feels Davis edges Durant when in reality it’s almost nothing between them. Davis’s hair is thicker than Durant’s in one pic but in others they’re almost the same height even with the hair being thicker. Where’s with LeBron it’s clear Davis looks close to 3” taller so minus the hair still at least 2.5”. And Davis is shorter than LaMarcus Aldridge who measured 6’10”. Maybe Aldridge grew to 6’10.5 but he’s not higher than that and Aldridge looks an inch taller in the all star pic than any of those similarly sized guys look (Drummond, KD, AD). Kyle Kuzma is not a reputable poster as he’s posted under multiple usernames etc and he agrees with Rob when it favors him and disagrees when it doesn’t. Did you see him plead with Rob to say that Davis is 2.25” taller than LeBron instead of 2.5”? Back then he acknowledged the 6’9.75 could be true but now it’s emphatic that because Rob lists him 6’10 that he is 😂 😂 since Rob said it’s 2.5 or more. That’s just sad but hey when he posts that way it doesn’t surprise me. Yet he took what LeBron said about LeBron and Ingram at face value when all Rob said was that it “could” be 2 cm in that pic. All I can say (along with every other poster) is that Davis having 2.75” or 3” on LeBron or Kuzma having an inch before I believed that LeBron had 2 cm on Ingram which is obvious he doesn’t. It’s max 1/2” and he even acknowledged LeBron has more footwear. LeBron and Ingram can look as low as 1/4” apart to be honest

It really seems like u are fighting against 201.9 cm for LeBron it really bothers u and it is clearly that if anyone has an agenda
What about you fighting against Rob’s listing for Melo? Rob has him listed 6’6.25” or you going against the 6.3+ cm difference between LeBron and Anthony Davis?

And when I have to admit I admit, I was wrong with Carmelo he is not 6-7 but I think he is 199.5 cm or maybe 200 cm at max no more.

There are no mistakes in the NBA draft measurements they most accurate and 100% barefoot. If you claim that the draft measurement of LeBron 6ft 7.25in, Carmelo 6ft 6.25in, Davis 6ft 9.25in and more players is correct and reliable which i agreed, there is no reason why the measurement of JR is not correct and reliable simple calculation. turns out that Carmelo must be at 3 to 4 cm taller than JR and then he will be 6ft 7in or very close to it.

@Dillon Rice: In the picture you uploaded, there is no more than 5 cm difference between them, which indicates that Carmelo is 6ft 7 guy
KyleKuzma said on 13/Nov/21
Yet there is a possibility that the difference between them may be 5.7-6 cm or in my opinion max of 6.3 as Rob opinion, but if u see in the same picture a 7 cm it means u are inaccurate in your estimation.
Rob said it was minimum 2.5” which means 7 cm is more likely than 5.7-6 cm. He said 2.5” or a bit more.
KyleKuzma said on 12/Nov/21
@Editor Rob, Tell us please if there is a possibility that the difference between LeBron and Davis is 6 cm or is it only 2.5 inch and above?
Editor Rob
With Lebron in that photo, you could say it seems no less than 2.5, possibly a bit more because in this case Davis eyes might be tilted down a fraction, so his eyelevel isn't as high as it sometimes looks.
KyleKuzma said on 10/Nov/21
Maybe the measurement of 207.6 cm can be in the 4-5 PM and at 12 PM it can round to 207.9-208 cm. Rob showed in his video that during these hours it is possible to shrink by about 0.3 cm and the weight and size of Anthony Davis may even drop by 0.5-0.6 cm in that hours range so his height can Be 208-208.3 by the standard of the site at lunchtime
Another example for u we do not know the exact time LeBron was measured in the 2003 draft. Maybe he was measured in the evening? But let's say it's measured in the afternoon, what is the exact time he measured? we dont know, if it's measured 201.3 cm at 4-5 PM it could very well be that at lunchtime 201.7-201.8 cm about 0.5 cm more, that it's already closer to 202 cm
Someone’s height doesn’t vary that much between lunch and afternoon. Maybe 1/8”. And Davis isn’t that big for a nearly 6’10” guy. He weighs 250. Not like he weighs 350. He weighs as much as LeBron does. But the lunchtime/afternoon measurement is what he uses. Some guys are listed at morning heights here while some lunch some afternoon. He usually just goes by what they measured unless it’s blatantly obvious they weren’t as tall as they measured. And they don’t measure people at 4-5 pm for the combine. It’s earlier than that. What about the ones measured at 6 am? Those aren’t the standard here but you don’t challenge them. You’ve even mentioned your conspiracy theory or fake standard of “low end morning height” or straight morning height

Everyone in this site should ignore both of u. It bothers u so much that LeBron is 202 cm that it is no longer reliable. Davis 208.3 cm and LeBron 201.9, case closed.
Ignore both of us? 🤔. How many different usernames have you used? That’s called trolling but i digress. Reliable? You keep saying LeBron is between 202-202.5. He is listed 201.9 here and Rob (your master when you want him to be) acknowledged that LeBron is minimum 2.5” shorter than 6’9.75” Anthony Davis. I’m going to post this as my conclusion as I won’t respond to anymore of your posts after this. Davis measured 6’9.75”. Facts. He is clearly at least 2.5” taller than LeBron. Facts. So how is LeBron 201.9 let alone 202-202.5? You pushed 202.5 for the longest time and now you’re making Davis taller to make LeBron taller. As for Recapa, he is a reputable poster. You are not for reasons mentioned.

And I don’t see you arguing against Rob when he said that the difference “can look 2 cm there” those were his his exact words between Ingram and LeBron when it’s clear it’s not. I could say 1/2” max and we know LeBron has a footwear advantage which means we’re back to 1/4”.

@Robbe, In the pic with Davis u can clearly see that the top of LeBron's head reaches a little over 6-7 even approaching 6-7.5. Maybe not 201.9 cm but looks pretty close 201.5-201.7 cm.
KyleKuzma said on 9/Nov/21
@Editor Rob, Can you please tell us your opinion what the difference is between LeBron and Davis in this picture? I think about 5 cm or 5.5 cm. Click Here
Editor Rob
I would go near 2.5 inch range, remembering Davis has a slightly higher eyelevel than lebron
When I see that I am wrong or inaccurate I admit and check again and I have said it here several times, but to say that LeBron is 200.6 cm is unfounded. I already said that Davis looks 208 cm and maybe u are right and he is only 207.7 (only about 0.3 cm difference)
No you didn’t. You said Davis is 208.3 and you said something different earlier. You lie so much that you begin to forget. Remember your diatribe and thesis about “low end morning height”. You began to use that as the excuse when it was clear that your argument of a 203 or 204 cm was sinking like quick sand. Good though because you are down to 202-202.5 but your arguments for that are fading quickly too
KyleKuzma said on 9/Nov/21
True I'm a fan of LeBron and it intrigues me to find out what his true height barefoot, if they prove to me that he's 6-7 I will
So you admit you’re a fanboy. Good for you. Now we’re getting somewhere. But Jordan is my favorite player and I’m not here saying he’s 6’6”. He’s 6’4.5 or 6’4.75 since he measured both
I agree with him that Davis is 208.3 and I said there are pictures that LeBron does look 6 cm shorter than Davis and yet I argue that there are pictures whose the difference seems to be only 5-5.5 cm includes two photos from the media da
Bagheera said on 26/Sep/21
Exactly like Editor Rob listed him AD looks 208-208.5 cm
Bagheera said on 28/Sep/21
Measurements can be made at any time no one knows the exact time for a player who wants to hide his true height like Davis who has repeatedly stated that he does not want to be more than 6-10 it makes sense that he would prefer to be measured in the afternoon
KyleKuzma said on 7/Nov/21
When u estimate their height in the same picture u need to consider that Davis hair makes him look at least 2 cm taller than he his actually. Davis has a fairly small head circumference relative to his size, Look at his pictures from
Yet there is a possibility that the difference between them may be 5.7-6 cm or in my opinion max of 6.3 as Rob opinion, but if u see in the same picture a 7 cm it means u are inaccurate in your estimation. I am pretty much agreed with u about Davis height but to say there is 7 cm between them is already not make sense, 7-7.5 cm is the max difference between LeBron and Giannis 209-209.5 cm.
Editor Rob:

It does not matter what proof anyone bring u, in any pic where LeBron looks taller than 6-7 u try in every possible way to contradict it. When LeBron looks shorter and fits your 6-7 narrative it is fine and u will use such pics, but in pics where LeBron looks taller than 6-7 even if it is at 0.25 inch u make excuses and make every possible claim from a bad angle or the sole of the shoe to deny any possibility that LeBron is more than your 6-7 narrative lol.
Nothing further. You’ve made enough of an a$$ clown out of yourself that it’s not worth saying more
Even though I am starting to go down a bit in the listing and taking in a possibility that maybe I am wrong or not accurate enough and I am saying LeBron may be in afternoon measuring about 201.7 cm, it is also not enough for u. U need to dwarf him to 200.6-201.2 cm for no apparent reason. I repeat again even if I am wrong there is no situation in any way that LeBron is shorter than 201.5 cm, in my opinion even Rob maybe will support such a claim. 200.6-201.2 cm to LeBron is a meaningless argument.
Good. You are wrong and if Rob just said that 2.5” difference or even more as he suggested and Davis measured 6’9.75” so how is 200.6-201.2 not possible? It know know how to do the math, deducting 2.5” from 6’9.75 makes LeBron 6’7.25”. That’s 201.295. But Rob said or more. That means he could be less than 201.295. Nothing further

It really seems like u are fighting against 201.9 cm for LeBron it really bothers u and it is clearly that if anyone has an agenda here it is u (to make LeBron shorter than he is)

And I don’t see you arguing against Rob when he said that the difference “can look 2 cm there” those were his his exact words between Ingram and LeBron when it’s clear it’s not. I could say 1/2” max and we know LeBron has a footwear advantage which means we’re back to 1/4”.

@Robbe, In the pic with Davis u can clearly see that the top of LeBron's head reaches a little over 6-7 even approaching 6-7.5. Maybe not 201.9 cm but looks pretty close 201.5-201.7 cm.
KyleKuzma said on 9/Nov/21
@Editor Rob, Can you please tell us your opinion what the difference is between LeBron and Davis in this picture? I think about 5 cm or 5.5 cm. Click Here
Editor Rob
I would go near 2.5 inch range, remembering Davis has a slightly higher eyelevel than lebron
When I see that I am wrong or inaccurate I admit and check again and I have said it here several times, but to say that LeBron is 200.6 cm is unfounded. I already said that Davis looks 208 cm and maybe u are right and he is only 207.7 (only about 0.3 cm difference)
No you didn’t. You said Davis is 208.3 and you said something different earlier. You lie so much that you begin to forget. Remember your diatribe and thesis about “low end morning height”. You began to use that as the excuse when it was clear that your argument of a 203 or 204 cm was sinking like quick sand. Good though because you are down to 202-202.5 but your arguments for that are fading quickly too

True I'm a fan of LeBron and it intrigues me to find out what his true height barefoot, if they prove to me that he's 6-7 I will
So you admit you’re a fanboy. Good for you. Now we’re getting somewhere. But Jordan is my favorite player and I’m not here saying he’s 6’6”. He’s 6’4.5 or 6’4.75 since he measured both
I agree with him that Davis is 208.3 and I said there are pictures that LeBron does look 6 cm shorter than Davis and yet I argue that there are pictures whose the difference seems to be only 5-5.5 cm includes two photos from the media da

Exactly like Editor Rob listed him AD looks 208-208.5 cm
Bagheera said on 28/Sep/21
Measurements can be made at any time no one knows the exact time for a player who wants to hide his true height like Davis who has repeatedly stated that he does not want to be more than 6-10 it makes sense that he would prefer to be measured in the afternoon
KyleKuzma said on 7/Nov/21
When u estimate their height in the same picture u need to consider that Davis hair makes him look at least 2 cm taller than he his actually. Davis has a fairly small head circumference relative to his size, Look at his pictures from
Yet there is a possibility that the difference between them may be 5.7-6 cm or in my opinion max of 6.3 as Rob opinion, but if u see in the same picture a 7 cm it means u are inaccurate in your estimation. I am pretty much agreed with u about Davis height but to say there is 7 cm between them is already not make sense, 7-7.5 cm is the max difference between LeBron and Giannis 209-209.5 cm.

It does not matter what proof anyone bring u, in any pic where LeBron looks taller than 6-7 u try in every possible way to contradict it. When LeBron looks shorter and fits your 6-7 narrative it is fine and u will use such pics, but in pics where LeBron looks taller than 6-7 even if it is at 0.25 inch u make excuses and make every possible claim from a bad angle or the sole of the shoe to deny any possibility that LeBron is more than your 6-7 narrative lol.
Nothing further. You’ve made enough of an a$$ clown out of yourself that it’s not worth saying more
Even though I am starting to go down a bit in the listing and taking in a possibility that maybe I am wrong or not accurate enough and I am saying LeBron may be in afternoon measuring about 201.7 cm, it is also not enough for u. U need to dwarf him to 200.6-201.2 cm for no apparent reason. I repeat again even if I am wrong there is no situation in any way that LeBron is shorter than 201.5 cm, in my opinion even Rob maybe will support such a claim. 200.6-201.2 cm to LeBron is a meaningless argument.
Good. You are wrong and if Rob just said that 2.5” difference or even more as he suggested and Davis measured 6’9.75” so how is 200.6-201.2 not possible? It know know how to do the math, deducting 2.5” from 6’9.75 makes LeBron 6’7.25”. That’s 201.295. But Rob said or more. That means he could be less than 201.295. Nothing further

Rob said it seem near to 2.5 inch he did not rule out that it might be a little less like 2.25 inches or 6 cm round which is very close to 2.5 inch.
This is what Rob said verbatim
Editor Rob
I would go near 2.5 inch range, remembering Davis has a slightly higher eyelevel than lebron
That’s more definitive than what Rob said about Ingram and LeBron being he said it could look that in that particular picture. Near 2.5 does not mean 2.25”.
So if you’re going to say emphatically that Rob “confirmed Ingram being 2 cm shorter than LeBron” when he didn’t, then I will go with a solid 2.5” difference between 6’9.75 Davis and 6’7.25 LeBron since it’s a more definitive statement and assessment. And no Davis is not 208.3. You want him to be that just to make LeBron taller. Davis has an official measurement on record. That’s what he looks with Kuzma as well. He has 4-5 cm. Davis has 6-7 on Lebron. And LeBron’s measurement is clearly not accurate to someone intelligent enough to understand basketball listings. Read the wording. And You can’t pick and choose what supports your narratives.
KyleKuzma said on 10/Nov/21
Rob confirmed that the difference between LeBron and Ingram is about 2 cm.
Editor Rob
It does seem like it could be 2cm there.
He said “it could be”. He didn’t confirm anything. So if you’re leaving room for doubt as to the 2.5” difference between Davis and LeBron I will do the same for Ingram and LeBron since rob never actually confirmed it. It could be 1/2” difference (which is the most it looks considering Kuzma has more difference with LeBron than LeBron has with Ingram). And you also admitted that LeBron has more footwear than Ingram which is obvious. Lebron’s sneaker is thicker than the avg 1.25” sneaker. It’s closer to 1.5”. That means 1/4” difference and that Ingram is 6’7 and LeBron 6’7.25”. Also you tried to make Kuzma 6’9 when he measured 6’8 flat twice as a fully grown adult In 2017 and 2019. so you clearly have an agenda

It does not bother me if he will be 6-7, but u have to live with the fact that LeBron is 201.9 cm at lowest (until Rob changes his list if it ever happens) If I'm not mistaken in one of your posts u asked Rob to return LeBron to his previous list, why is this so bothering u. And what that u say about Davis measured 6-9.75 u can say it to Rob who still listed him at 208.3 cm. Maybe the measurement of 207.6 cm can be in the 4-5 PM and at 12 PM it can round to 207.9-208 cm. Rob showed in his video that during these hours it is possible to shrink by about 0.3 cm and the weight and size of Anthony Davis may even drop by 0.5-0.6 cm in that hours range so his height can Be 208-208.3 by the standard of the site at lunchtime. Yes a person can be taller than his measurement depends on the exact time even if it is half cm or 0.3 cm as the differences we are talking about here, it all depends on the hour.
Another example for u we do not know the exact time LeBron was measured in the 2003 draft. Maybe he was measured in the evening? But let's say it's measured in the afternoon, what is the exact time he measured? we dont know, if it's measured 201.3 cm at 4-5 PM it could very well be that at lunchtime 201.7-201.8 cm about 0.5 cm more, that it's already closer to 202 cm than 201 cm, and all this assuming LeBron hasn't grown since his draft either he has a good chance of growing by about 0.5-1 cm.

I saw the video a long time ago. I know that Rob think there is a 6 cm difference between them and it definitely looks like that in some of the pictures and in another part of the pictures the difference looks no more than 5 cm, so I said that in the worst case LeBron will be 202 cm because Davis is 208 cm clearly and maybe even 208.5 cm. U claim he is just 207.6 which is fine, and I claim after I check in depth pictures of both together that the difference between them is no more than 5.5 cm at maximum.
Question for you. Why do you think people are taller than they measure? Davis measured 6’9.75” so that’s the max he is. The only question is does he measure shorter at a different point of the day? The site is based on afternoon and lunchtime heights. That’s what we go by. Rob also has them 2.5” apart in height so that means LeBron is 201 range. Just live with it

So even if Davis is only 207.6 cm LeBron will still be no less than 202 cm but that is not the case because Davis is probably higher than 207.6 cm.
The picture that Rob used in the video is fine but there are better pictures of the two standing together. Notice that in this picture Davis is stretching his head and neck upward and LeBron standing with his hands folded with his head slightly bowed - these parameters can tilt about 1 cm in favor of Davis. These things should be taken into account when u estimate, if the picture does not show the peoples in an optimal position and equal to both.
I think this is the best pictures of them together that can be found Click Here Click Here both standing in a straight line side by side LeBron standing upright like Davis. All that is left is to estimate where the top of Davis head is because of his thick hair, if u do it right u will see that the difference here drops below 6 cm if it is 4.5 or 5 or 5.5 max it is already another test but without a doubt in this picture it is less than 6 cm. Judge it for yourself.

@Bagheera: I do look correctly. And why do you keep adjusting the pic to where it diminishes the difference? It’s clear you have an agenda because you do the same with Ingram and LeBron as well. Everything you post revolves around LeBron being taller than he is listed. There was nothing wrong with the pic I posted. So you do know that Rob did a comprehensive height video of Davis and LeBron. That’s 2.5” between them as he said. The only reason Davis is listed 6’10 is because he believes he’s taller than Durant. Davis is shorter than LaMarcus Aldridge so 6’9.75 is fine

If you look correctly and at optimal images that can be estimated height like this one Click Here You will see that there is no more than 2-2.25 inches max difference here. I've already explained to you about Davis hair that you need to calculate how far the top of his head reaches without the hair. Take a good look and check.
Rob thinks Davis is 208.3 cm and I agree with him, according to this picture with 2.25 inch max difference - AD 208.3 LBJ 202.6 cm or AD 208 cm LBJ 202.3, let's say even if Davis is only 207.6 cm like he measured (Although u claimed in yourself that he can be 6-9.8 a tiny little more from what he measured) LeBron is seen here 201.9 exactly like Rob listed him. Case closed.
Davis looks like Rob listed him and I think Rob specializes a "little" more than us in height measurements and estimates. Even if there is a full 6 cm difference LeBron stay in 202-202.3 cm range at lowest.
I think Davis 208 cm, and LeBron 202.5 cm (only about half cm from Rob listing) its looks right and fair for them.

@Bagheera: you’re running to a bunch of excuses now simply because we’ve discredited you. Now you’re saying that Melo and LeBron may have been taller than they actually are when drafted? No. They don’t undermeaaure people. I’ll just go ahead and stop responding to you as Recapa suggested and hopefully you’ll just disappear as it is like scratching of a chalkboard to read your posts or even post with you. You lie and keep making excuses us just because Lebron isn’t as tall as you want him to be. Not to mention you are also lying about height differences now between people. Do you really believe that LeBron and Davis are that close in height? That’s almost a 3” difference between them. Davis is 6’9.75 which is how he looked on Kimmel’s show. I called that even before the measurement as he was “at most” a solid 6’11 in basketball sneakers there so that makes him 6’9.75 barefoot. Davis has LeBron by a good 2.5”

If this is a mistake I can argue the same that LeBron's measurements 6ft 7.25in is a human error. He just looks taller it's that simple and honest, not trying to making LeBron taller beacause he is already taller than 6ft 7.25in its a joke he clearley bit taller then PG, JT and maybe even KL. If already it seems more that people are trying to lower him for some reason probably hate or envy.
Love is clearly taller than LeBron. So you’re wrong. And LeBron was measured reliably at the combine at 6’7.25 and has maintained the 1” difference on Melo his entire career so no it was not wrong. You’re wrong. Wonder what your new username will be lol. You’re a two bit troll like Chaos said

There are no mistakes in the NBA draft measurements they most accurate and 100% barefoot. If you claim that the draft measurement of LeBron 6ft 7.25in, Carmelo 6ft 6.25in, Davis 6ft 9.25in and more players is correct and reliable which i agreed, there is no reason why the measurement of JR is not correct and reliable simple calculation. turns out that Carmelo must be at 3 to 4 cm taller than JR and then he will be 6ft 7in or very close to it. I believe JR is 6ft 5.5in like he measured he looks like a 196 cm guy at lowest.
The bottom Line is that are more players have been grown since their draft besides Giannis.
It’s called human error Bagheera. They make mistakes all the time. But of course you don’t wanna believe it because you’re hell bent on making LeBron taller than he is

JR Smith measured without shoes 6ft 5.5in and with shoes 6ft 6.75in in his 2004 draft measurements anyone can chack that on google.
So did JJ redick measure 6’4? Why was he listed 6’3” at the end of his career when they measured them barefoot? It’s called a mistake which was also made with Kuzma. The same mistake You are. Smith is not 6’5,5 without shoes. That’s obvious. Melo looks max his listing in person and next to Nene which even Dillon has pointed out

🤣. Melo does not measure 202 even out of bed. He may be 201.5 out of bed and 199 max at his afternoon height which is the standard for the site. Don’t see why you’re using a morning height standard when no one else does. Guess you’re just unwilling to admit LeBron isnt 6’8” which is why you use the excuse standard now

At worst he was at least as tall as my friend who is a legit 6’6” to 6’6 1/8” but not as tall as my other friend who is a full 6’7”. I think he’d be closer to 199 than 198 though. I’m not sure he’s as high as 199.4 though.

If the site goes by afternoon measurements then I was wrong Okay, anyway in the morning LeBron 6-8 and Carmelo 6-7 is probably true.
The site has nothing to do with morning heights.
Q: Are the heights listed with shoes?
A: No. Assume every height as though the celebrity was measured barefoot. This isn't the NBA! I make no claim as to whether any listed height is an evening or early morning one, but technically I think you are better off saying your height based on the time when people get measured on average, which obviously wouldn't be out of bed, but might be about 5 hours after waking. After you've been standing for 5-6 hours you won't shrink much more during the rest of the day compared to how much you shrink in the time period from waking up till lunchtime.
As of November 2017, there are around 5100 Male and 5100 Females listed, with an average peak height of 5ft 10.75 for the Males and 5ft 5 and 1/4 for the Females.
And why should others cater to your standards? Oh I forgot. It’s because you can’t admit that LeBron isn’t 6’8”. Once you realized that he wasn’t as tall as Kuzma (after it was clearly shown to you), you immediately changed your standard to that. You even brought it up and said that the morning is someone’s true height. I bet if the evidence of Kuzma only being measured 6’8 twice that We presented hadn’t been presented, you would still be saying that LeBron was 6’8” afternoon height

Melo actually only looks 3 inches taller than Westbrook here:

LeBron looks a bit shorter than him, but it’s probably posture, where he’s standing and the camera angle maybe.
@Dillon: that’s more because LeBron could be tilting his head a bit but Melo looked consistently 4” taller when he was on OKC with Russ. I think their pre draft align. I guess 199 flat is arguable for Melo but so is 198.5. Not sure he’s as high as 6’6.5 but maybe 6’6 1/3”. As for Melo and Kmart, yep that’s a good possibility. Kmart has alluded to only being 6’8 and he consistently looked around 3” shorter than Marcus Camby. KMart was described as 6’8.5 at Cincy so it wouldn’t surprise me if the 6’8.75 was early morning and he’s just 6’8.25”

You obviously don’t know how to assess heights. Nene measured 6’9.25 and looks at least 3” taller than Melo. Don’t lie about the height difference just to make Melo taller. Nene measured that in the afternoon (your real height) more than likely. Melo is 6’6.25”

Makes sense. Kenyon Martin measured 6’8.75”. He has claimed about 6’8 before when he was in an interview and they asked how tall he was in high school. He said “6’8, about what I am now”. He may be 6’8.5” perhaps at most

Honestly after seeing pictures of Carmelo with 6’9.25” Nene and 6’8.25” Blake Griffin, he does look 6’6” range in those. You may be right about his height, who knows.

I don’t see no photo with you and Carmelo so unfortunately it’s hard to say for sure that there was only 2 inches difference. There could have easily been 3 inches difference but the difference between 2 and 3 inches is very small so anyone comparing you two could have easily mistaken the height difference. It’s convenient and easy just to say there is a couple inches between two people if the difference looks relatively small.
Fair enough Dillon. And I don’t have one. But if you see Kobe with Carmelo it looks the same difference 1.5”. As far as relatively small, if Carmelo was 3” taller it wouldn’t look relatively small. That’s a significant difference. 2” is a good bit. Others around me actually said 1.5-2” was possible but I give it the full 2”. The only way you arrive at your estimates is from upgrading people such as Kobe saying he’s 6’5 when he measured 6’4.75 and using dodgy angles. Again I’ve also posted the pic of Korver with Melo and Milsap and all three are the same. I’ve also posted the pics of Melo with the Olympic team. Then I posted a pic with Melo and Scottie Pippen. But you’re the same one who tried to say that Kuzma and LeBron are the same height when they clearly aren’t so....

I believe he’s 6’7” from the evidence I’ve seen. There is no agenda to inflate anyone. I don’t care if these athletes are taller or shorter than what they are listed. I’ve just going off what my eyes tell me. Maybe if I said he was 6’5” you might be okay with my opinion, but as soon as I say an athlete is taller than you think he is, it’s outrageous and unacceptable for some reason even though it’s my opinion. My mind will not be changed. I believe what I believe and this is not personal, it’s simply my own opinion on another man’s height. No one has to agree with it. We don’t all have to agree on the same thing. If we did, conversation on here would be pretty boring.
All that being said, I believe the fact that Carmelo leaning in with Wilder and still being taller excludes him from being as short as 6’6.25”. You can bring up camera angle in almost any single photo I bring up, but it’s just not enough to explain the fact that Carmelo is clearly not shorter than 6’6.5” Wilder. That’s impossible.
Also on a side note, LeBron has clearly more than an inch on 6’6.25” Kyle Korver. No one has disapproved me on that yet and they couldn’t if they tried. He’s clearly a bare minimum of 2 inches taller than Korver, without question. You can argue Korver is 6’5” but it wouldn’t match up with his draft listing. Also LeBron is taller than nearly 6’8” Luke Walton.
That’s your opinion and I respect it but i could say the same about you both being you all came at us (Recapa and me) the same way. As for you saying he’s 6’5, I still wouldn’t respect that because I’ve met him and he’s 6’6 range so I don’t know what you’re trying to say there. I’ve already pointed out that Magic edged Walton in pics so I don’t know what you’re getting at. They’re are no good pics of LeBron and Walton to compare. As for Korver, He and Melo are around the same height. I’ve proven that already. If he’s shorter it’s not by more than maybe a CM and that would be attributed to one being morning measurement and the other afternoon but they look about the same to me.

Im not saying Carmelo is full 6-7 but according to the photos I saw he is in the 199-200 cm range
@Bagheera: he’s 198-199 in person. 199 flat is arguable at a stretch but he’s the same as Korver and Milsap at 6’6.25” and he’s about 1.5” taller than Kobe

I don’t see no photo with you and Carmelo so unfortunately it’s hard to say for sure that there was only 2 inches difference. There could have easily been 3 inches difference but the difference between 2 and 3 inches is very small so anyone comparing you two could have easily mistaken the height difference. It’s convenient and easy just to say there is a couple inches between two people if the difference looks relatively small.

I believe he’s 6’7” from the evidence I’ve seen. There is no agenda to inflate anyone. I don’t care if these athletes are taller or shorter than what they are listed. I’ve just going off what my eyes tell me. Maybe if I said he was 6’5” you might be okay with my opinion, but as soon as I say an athlete is taller than you think he is, it’s outrageous and unacceptable for some reason even though it’s my opinion. My mind will not be changed. I believe what I believe and this is not personal, it’s simply my own opinion on another man’s height. No one has to agree with it. We don’t all have to agree on the same thing. If we did, conversation on here would be pretty boring.
All that being said, I believe the fact that Carmelo leaning in with Wilder and still being taller excludes him from being as short as 6’6.25”. You can bring up camera angle in almost any single photo I bring up, but it’s just not enough to explain the fact that Carmelo is clearly not shorter than 6’6.5” Wilder. That’s impossible.
Also on a side note, LeBron has clearly more than an inch on 6’6.25” Kyle Korver. No one has disapproved me on that yet and they couldn’t if they tried. He’s clearly a bare minimum of 2 inches taller than Korver, without question. You can argue Korver is 6’5” but it wouldn’t match up with his draft listing. Also LeBron is taller than nearly 6’8” Luke Walton.

Carmelo Anthony looks 1 inch shorter then 6'8 LeBron James so 6-7 or 6'6.75 look ok to Carmelo

DeAndre Jordan 209 cm
Anthony Davis 208 cm
Dwight Howard 206 cm
LeBron James 203 cm
Trevor Ariza 202 cm
Carmelo Anthony 200 cm
So you’re saying Howard is only an inch taller than Lebron? And no Ariza is 6’7 flat. He measured that as an adult (fully grown). Melo is 6’6.25”. That’s what he measured barefoot in 2003 and what he looks in person. He is not 6’7”

Agreed Carmelo is 6’7”. Clearly taller than 6’6.5” Wilder. I don’t even know how Carmelo could be listed a quarter inch shorter when that’s clearly not the case.

@Dillon and Mori: given the fact I was sometimes a hair over 6’4.25, if a full 2” and no advantage for me, maybe 6’6.25 is reasonable, but if I had a slight footwear advantage 6’6.5 could be. Although a best case to me is 199 flat. If a bit less than 2” like Junior mentioned below as a couple people alluded to, 6’6.25 would be the best case with 6’6 the worst. My best logic would be 198-198.5 or 198-199 range. I’d say what Rob has him listed here is fair. Even if it were a morning height in 2003 it means he gained a fraction as I can hardly see him as just 197 range. I’ve mentioned my former teammate who still claims 6’7” and a friend of mine who claims 6’6 and is that at his low. He’s a very proper 6’6 who doesn’t usually dip below it when he stands straight although he’s in his 40s now so time may be nearing. The teammate who claims 6’7” is a weak 6’6 range guy barefoot at his low and back to back looked about 1/4-1/2” shorter than my legit 6’6 friend. To be fair we measured him in the 6’6-6’6 1/8 range before. Then I have a friend who’s slightly shorter than both at 6’5 1/4”. He’s an inch taller than me. Melo easily looked taller than at least the two who are under 6’6 but it was touch and go with my legit 6’6” friend because I wasn’t around him long enough and because my 6’6 friend doesn’t usually wear thick footwear and his posture is not as good today. So maybe it’s just perception. I know when he and I compare it looks sometimes like I’m almost as tall until he stands straight and it’s clear he’s a couple inches taller than me or near scouts. Funny because my 6’7 flat friend hates his height too but has the best posture I’ve seen even approaching 42 very soon. I can always tell he is much taller. He’s also in incredible shape. At first glance, I would’ve pegged Melo taller and I believe he is taller but I’d need to see them back to back or measure. I’d say better chance Melo is over the Mark than him or at least further over if my friend is over on a good day. The only thing that keeps me thinking 6’6 flat is possible and the less than 2” diff is how he stacks up with Carlos Boozer and KMart. Nene measured 6’9.25 and was taller than KMart. KMart described him as 6’10-6’11 so that fits his shoe height 6’10.5 in bball sneaks. Kmart measured 6’8.75 but that looks like a morning height next to him or next to Marcus Camby. Kmart has alluded to being closer to 6’8 in an interview. They asked how tall he was in high school and he said “6’8, about the same as I am now”. I’ll try to find it but I just heard it last year or year before maybe. Melo looks 6’6 with him at times or with Porzingis. Maybe Porzingis grew? Looks taller than just 7’1.25”. But Boozer to most looks 6’7 range. Kurt Rambis said 6’7 himself so maybe 6’7.5ish like Kevin love. Here’s the Olympic photo below. Mind you I have LeBron as 6’7 flat considering facts
Melo is next to Griffin who is not over 6’8” (6’8.5 or .75 morning and thick hair). He’s def at least 6’6” here. Then Tyson Chandler egos at least 6’11”.
Click Here
And here he is with the lineup. He looks similar to what he’s listed. 6’6 or 6’6.25. Honestly 6’6.25 being most of us agree Kobe was 6’4.75 afternoon height. Means Redd was a morning measurement and probably only 194 in reality. Only issue is Boozer is taller than Lebron and shorter than Tayshsun Prince who is really 6’8”. Prince looks close to 2” shorter than Rasheed Wallace. Maybe Prince is a strong 6’8” and it’s only 1.5” instead of 1.75”. Also about 3cm on Ben Wallace who I peg a weak 6’7”. He admitted to 6’6/6’7 once too. Ben looks 3” shorter than Rasheed who measured 6’9.75”. Boozer looks to be a hair under 6’8”. Not just .25” but maybe .5” or so

@Dillon: when I say talked to him I mean that I said hello and the convo was brief. Like seconds. As far as dress shoe, mine are all 1.25” so his may have been less. But his above seem thick. It wouldn’t surprise me if he were 6’7.5 in shoes but 6’7.25 wouldn’t either. He didn’t look under 6’6 tho

@Mori: that’s not a great pic. There are some where he looks just an inch shorter when they played in OKC together. I don’t rule 6’6 flat out for Melo for an afternoon evening but that’s worst case. He’s in that range between that and what he measured. PG is debatable. 6’7.25 or .5” best case. Could even be 6’7”.
@Dillon: yea I talked to him. I didn’t think it was a little. I thought it was a good 2” or near it. He looked at least as tall as my 6’6 friend does. Not sure if there was a variance with the dress shoe though. I will say this. He looks taller than Paul Pierce who Mickie said he met and he looked max 197 range given the footwear advantage mickie had on him. Mickie thought 6’5.25 or 6’5 3/8 but then add the footwear and he’s closer to 6’6”. Piece can pull off 6’6 flat at times and may be but I got a taller impression from Melo than him. Gronk also looks shorter than Melo.

@Junior: it could be up to 2” with him. I was told by one person two and then someone else or maybe two people said 1.5-2”. I don’t rule out 6’6 flat but also not ruling out 6’6.25”. I doubt he’s as high as 6’6.5 though unless I had more footwear which I doubt it was much difference. He’s definitely not less than 6’6 either. I’ve always maintained about that range for him. For me, I was measuring 6’4 3/8” or 6’4 1/3” back in 2016. 198.5 is a good estimate imho but 198.8 is possible still

You have mention 1.5-2" between Carmelo and you in real so if you took your normal low height add on 1.75" it's more closer to truth for Carmelo's height at a low too. 6'6 is typically a low for him or in metric measurement could be 198.1-198.3cm.

@Dillon: it’s not just comparing and most guys don’t grow. Some do like Anthony Davis or Tristan Thompson but Melo didn’t. He wasn’t 3” taller than I was when I saw him in 2016. And I have a 6’6 and a 6’7 friend and I could tell he wasn’t as tall as the 6’7 friend. In fact the people I was with said 1.5-2” between us and I’m 6’4.25-.3 evening but I may have had 1/4”” more footwear. He looks a solid or strong 6’6 up close. I’ll say he’s a strong 6’6” range. See the pic with 6’7.75 Carlos boozer

@Canson The problem with comparing draft heights is that the players could have grown. I don’t doubt Carmelo was 6’6.25” at 19, I just don’t think he’s still that height. Most don’t grow after 18, but plenty do. It’s not that uncommon. I’d really be interested to see what he measures today. I bet it would be in the 6’7” range if I had to put my money on an afternoon/evening measurement.

@Wingspanpro: I see Wall has been reduced to 6’3”. His combine listing was a joke. He’s not 6’2.75 after being awake an hour I doubt. They did the same for him that they did for Lillard or Harden. Either reduced his height by an inch or in the latter case kept him at his listed height due to his status as a player. Lillard isn’t anything over 6’1” even if he measured out of bed. He’s a 6’0 range guy

@Wingspanpro: he’s still listed 6’8 on ESPN. He would be 6’7 out of bed I’m sure and would measure weak 6’7 territory 6’6.5-6’7 after an hour or so so 6’7 is a fair listing by those standards. Otherwise by celebheights 6’6”. But Lebron is listed 6’9 so they may keep him at that. He wasn’t measured last year being he came later in the season. Funny part is John Wall is still listed 6’4”. I live outside of Washington and According to those who’ve met him he’s barely 6’2”. He looks that next to Beal who is around 6’3”

He listens 6'7 now
I think he is 6'7 in the morning and 6'6 on the evening.
He looks 6'6.75 whe you see him with wilder . PG , or with per mertesacker

@Christian: yep that’s him. He’s in his early 60s so a bit of height loss isn’t too bad. He measured 6’3 flat up until maybe 4-5 years ago (so I thought) so I wonder if he may still manage it on a good day into the lunch hour. He was 6’2 7/8 the one time we all measured but I’m not sure if he hadn’t reclined (not intentionally of course) prior to being measured. Sometimes on a couch people gain a fraction which I’ve done. I’ve noticed that my height difference with him always looked near 1.5” and he actually stands straight when pressed. I did wonder if he looks that different due to his neck being shorter and proportions being different. It’s likely been that 1.5” for a while. If he begins to slouch and you mention his height or one of ours (including other tall friends) he immediately stands straight. However he said he was measured 6’2.75 now as of earlier this year and as long as I’ve known him he’s always said he was 6’3 and said he was 6’3 in his prime too. He’s met John Wall and said he was max 6’2” and really didn’t even look like he was firmly on the mark. He even said there was a chance he was under then another friend is 6’ flat (looks exact imho) said Wall didn’t strike him as 2” taller than him. He thought he was more 6’1.5”. Both have met Otto Porter though and said he looked legit for his listing at least. He said that Porter is really 6’7” barefoot when we talked recently and 6’8” in shoes

@Christian: yea he looks 6’7” next to Bradley Beal who turned out to only be 6’3”. Funny because a friend of mine met him and thought he was slightly taller. This guy is 6’3 and usually dead on but likely that Beal had the benefit of basketball shoes and my buddy measured 6’2.75 recently at the doctor and when he measured himself it was similar. He hasn’t been a full 6’3 for a couple years as he was right at or below 6’2 7/8 once when we all measured.

@Junior: I’m thinking Lebron and Melo can be within 1/4” of their listings or right on the money. As for Wade 6’3” is what I have him at. Lebron can look 6’7.25 at times being he’s taller than Haslem but I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s 6’6.5. Lebron wasn’t a lot taller maybe 1/2” or 3/4”

Lebron posture isn't good like Carmelo that sometime makes them look between 1/2" but i have seem better comparison where Lebron standing straight and look an inch taller. The extra 1/4 of them was a morning height then both of them were 6'7 and 6'6 respectively include Wade as 6'3 not less.

@D.A.: he got the listing because they never measured him this year since he joined the Trailblazers after the measurements had already taken place. As for growth not sure. It’s possible but it’s also possible that was near a low for him back in 2003 being he’s always looked an inch or less shorter than Lebron. Then again maybe Lebron grew since he was drafted too and is 6’7” or 6’7.25” now

I’m not so sure he grew a fraction. They may have been afternoon measurements back then or possibly a few hours out. But he certainly wasn’t under 6’6” and isn’t today

I’m one hundred percent sure , that Melo grew a friction after his pre draft measurements. He used to be 6’6.25 back then one hour after waking up. Now I would say he’s 6’6.75 one hour after waking up and on a low he would be 6’6.25.

@Junior: I agree more with Rob’s assessment on that one about Dr J being nearer 6’5” than 6’6”. It looks like it’s a full inch between them putting Dr J around 6’5 or 6’5.25”. Funny because a teammate from high school has a pic with Dr J when he was a child and Dr J could almost pass for being 6’6” with him then next to the guys father who is about my height give or take. I couldn’t see footwear however

@Shane: I saw your post about Melo on Lebron’s page. I think they just left it the way it was at 6’8”. So many others kept or gained from the 18-19 listings so they probably wouldn’t say anything and Adam Silver has met many of these players esp the higher caliber players such as Harden and Russ etc with their MVPs. he knows how tall they really are and didn’t do anything to curtail this nonsense. As for Ingram, the Lakers claimed he grew after his rookie year to 6’10 or 6’11. Guess not. And I bet it was the Lakers choice to list him at 6’9” not his.

@Shane: it’s funny you mention that. I saw Dennis Scott on NBA TV with Dominique Wilkins who a friend of mine has met and said he looked at best 6’6-6’7 but likely closer to 6’6” today and he’s shorter. Scott looked small on the court even with Penny Hardaway who was probably a legit 6’6” guy or very near it if he wasn’t. I think Scott May have shrunken a tad at best but that won’t explain why he looks that short. I never believed he was over 6’6” maybe even 6’5. Ingram surprised the hell out of me. I always thought he was 6’8” barefoot and even said it here. That’s bad news for Lonzo Ball because that’s 3” between them. Now maybe Ingram was an afternoon or he rounded down an afternoon and his is 6’7” and change and went with 6’7” because he’s so thin. But JT a poster here, met Lonzo and JT at 6’5 said he had Lonzo by an inch. So he’s obviously not 6’7” like he claims lol. Also I posted on Liangelo’s page that the one commentator who met him said that he at 6’2” was eye to eye with Liangelo. This was on Dan Patrick Show. LiAngelo really is only 6’2” looking at him with Lonzo. Lonzo did only look 6’4” maybe 6’4.5 tops with Magic. I’d really say 6’4 knowing Ingram is only 6’7”

@Canson someone mentioned Dennis Scott and I'm sure you remember him. He was listed 6'8" and always felt he was way overlisted. Tonight on NBA TV he was interviewing 6"7" Brandon Ingram and even though Scott was closer to the camera, Ingram easily had him beat and it looked around 2 inches -- and again -- Scott had angle advantage with the camera. It was shocking. They were not even close. Now, it is possible Scott is wearing a very short dress shoe but still, they again were not even close to the same height . But what was crazier is Scott had advantage on Josh Hart who is 6'4" tops barefoot and he looked about as tall as Scott. Blew my mind.

@Joe and Dillon: Melo is a legit 6’6” maybe 6’6.25 in person. Klay Thompson measured 6’5.75 in the morning. In all likelihood he’s the same size as Draymond Green or maybe at best he’s 1cm taller. I’m more convinced that Klay would measure 6’5.25-.5 in the afternoon than I am that Draymond would. Draymond I could see as 6’5 afternoon height. Carmelo looks taller than he is because he’s actually what he’s listed as far as draft measurement and not a 6’5.5-6’5.75 guy like some of the others who get a 6’6.25 measurement. I guarantee you if he were still playing he would be listed 6’7” now since they measure in the morning barefoot

I think Melo is grown since draft.
He is more than 1 Inch taller than Justin Anderson
Click Here
Anderson was measured 6'5.25 without shoes
Melo has not grown unless his 6’6.25 measurement was in the morning. In the afternoon he is no more than a 6’6 or strong 6’6” guy like he is listed here in person. I think the validity of Justin Anderson and the video need to be examined as it’s more than Likely Anderson is not really 6’5.25” if Melo is more than an inch taller. Melo is around an inch shorter than 6’7.25 (max) Lebron and only about 1.5” taller than Kobe at best

Honestly Carmelo May have grown a cheeky bit of height after he got drafted, which also would explain why he would get billed in his 6 ft 8 in shoes height

Candace Parker can never be 6'2 when Lisa Leslie is only 6'3.75". Ther is always 6cm between them. We can argue Carmelo had 1cm more footwear than her. So that makes a 198.1cm Carmelo with 186.4cm Candace Parker there. So give it 6'1 1/2 but not over.

@Ellis Carmelo mid eye level was no way only 4.5" (11.43cm) gap count from his head. Kobe eye level was consider high but close to 12cm and Carmelo head is slightly bigger and a bit lower sets eye than Kobe so Melo mid eye level is 4.8 inch (12.3cm) not below. Candace head not a hair is under his lower eye lid which is about 5" (12.7cm). Click Here look carefully it's 5" if we go on listing then Candace is 6'1.25" but then another picture look to have 1/4 less footwear than Melo which brings her up to 6'1 1/2 as you say but its confirm a morning measurement since Carmelo low is prob 6'6 but not under. Shes more legit 186cm taller than i previously thought of weak 6'1.

@Canson: That's not 6'2 and 6'6, I just saw the picture, that is at least a 4.5 inch difference. If Melo is 6'6, according to the picture Candace is looking 6'1.5, her head is at his eye level, that is 4.5 inches. A 4 inch difference would be convincingly above the eye, and almost at the eyebrow, and that is simply not the case in this picture.

If we just simply go with the calculation of height measurement from morning what time Carmelo get his 6'6 1/4 then then it simplify that he 6'6 and 6'5.75" at the worst at night. Sometime he can look the full 6'6.25" other time not quite over 198cm. So i will not go for 6'5.75" this low for Carmelo. Average guess now its just a morning height for him.

@Yusuf: I don’t agree. Lebron is at least 1/2” more like 2cm taller than Melo. Melo May be as much as his pre draft but Lebron probably is a flat 6’7” if that’s the case. If Melo is a solid 6’6” then Lebron is probably 6’6.75 at a low based on that. But if it’s an inch then that explains it

@Kapp: flat and solid are pretty much the same. Flat in the case of a 6’6” person would qualify for 198.12 imho since that’s right on the nose. I’d give a person who falls to maybe 6’5 7/8 a full 6’6” and call them textbook. Melo looks a very very strong 198 range to weak 199 best case. I think weak would be more 6’5.5-.75 and .75-1” is kinda undefined. I think once around like .83 or so it’s no different in appearance than the full number

My understanding of solid is 1/8 to 1/4 over the mark(strong=1/4-1/2), 198 is more flat than solid as it's 1.2mm below the mark(it would've still been flat if it were 1-2mm over it) When it's 3-6mm, that's when you are solid. In that case(of a 198 normal low guy) the reason is you'll dip around 1/8 at a possible extreme low and going below the mark(3/16 below 6'6 or even anything for that matter) is not solid. I know such differences are very subtle and even slight postural changes can affect millimeters while measuring but since this is a height website, getting technical is important.

@Junior: there is a chance at 6’6.25 for him. He’s definitely at least the full 6’6” imho but it’s not easy to compare Melo to Strahan since one is wearing a hat. Melo next to Lebron or Kobe is more indicative of him being 6’6 or a hair over however since he can look very close with Lebron max 1” at times and 1/2” others. He looks to have a good 1.5” on Kobe. Worst case 3cm. Melo also looks his pre draft or within 1/4” next to 6’2.25 Russell Westbrook. I doubt Russ has grown and that was likely his low or is his low for the day (6’3” out of bed max). I don’t rule out 6’2 or 6’2 1/8 for Russ to be honest if we are talking after a game or even like 1/8” at a low. One thing I can say is that I have a friend who’s an inch taller than me 6’5.25 at a low (6’6 out of bed) and he or someone else Christian’s size would not look as tall as Carmelo does in that picture. May be splitting hairs since it’s only about an inch or even less difference between Melo and either of them but Melo looks a legit 6’6” even in the pic above not to mention when I’ve seen him in person

Chances of looking 6'6 1/8-6'6 1/4 with 6'4 Michael Strahan is a fail for Carmelo if Kobe Bryant is strictly 6'4.75" his low. Carmelo look at most 6'6 with Strahan in modesty.

I don't believe that my torso's much shorter than yours. I'm an inch taller than you and my inseam's also about an inch longer than yours, so that means our torsos are probably about the same length. Not to mention, both our morning heights are right around 2cm more than our lows. It's just that I lose height seemingly at a slower rate than you.

@Christian: I also wonder in my case if it’s the way i sit or the chairs I sit in. I’ve noticed some chairs I sit in cause me to gain height after standing as I may be a bit reclined even when I’m not trying to recline. I tried one this morning and and I measured about 3-4mm taller from being sort of reclined but I came back down relatively quickly

@Christian: you may have a shorter torso than me. I’m usually 195.7 maybe .8-.9 on a better day of sleep and have seen as low as 6’5 flat with a little less sleep. I tested today on a day off and I’m 194.1 after 5 hours. That’s prob close to the norm. Some days I’ve been 194 flat. I only got to 193.8 after 5 when I was on my feet almost the entire time. If you’re getting to 6’5.5 after 5 hours and wake up 6’6 1/8” we come out about the same. That’s 5/8” after 5 hours. If you’re still 197-197.2 you do lose slower than I do.

I tested today on a day off and I’m 194.1 after 5 hours. That’s prob close to the norm. Some days I’ve been 194 flat. I only got to 193.8 after 5 when I was on my feet almost the entire time. If you’re getting to 6’5.5 after 5 hours and wake up 6’6 1/8” we come out about the same. That’s 5/8” after 5 hours. If you’re still 197-197.2 you do lose slower than I do. Even Rob loses just over 1/2” after 5 hours. He mentioned that he used to lose all of his by lunch but now is nearer 5’8.25

After an hour out of bed, I can be 6'5 7/8", only about 1/4" below my out of bed height. And after about 2.25 hours, I usually lose about 3/8", as I can measure 6'5.75". You seem to lose height at a 1/8" faster rate than I do.

@Christian: I lose about 1/3” maybe a touch more after an hour. Then about another 1/8” after 2. 195.7 out of bed typically would get me to 194.8 after an hour sometimes 194.9. And Usually by about 2.25 hours I’m down a full 1/2”. I’d be around 194.5 after 2.25 hours more than likely. Then by 5 hours I’m around 194 sometimes 194.1. If I’m standing a lot I can get 193.8 or 193.9 after 5 hours. But judging by combine figures I’ve seen some guys measure similar to me in that they’re 3/8” less than their combine height when they measured at the senior bowl. The way someone sits could affect it as well. If you sit reclined in the car while driving etc.

You seem to lose height faster than the average person in your situation. I don't typically drop anything under 6'5.5" even after 5 hours out of bed, and often measure a solid or sometimes even a couple mm above 197cm like 197.2. I don't have the most sedentary type of job either, but I only hit my ultimate low after I get out of work, which would typically be around 4-5 PM.

@Christian: lol depends. This morning I was up before 3am but because I have a flight to catch for a quick business trip. Normally, I wake at 530 or 515. So my 5 hours would typically be around 1030. 2 mornings per week I hold 8 AM meetings one with staff members and one with the Other Directors and up in our organization. I’m typically standing the entire time for at least the one with my team, and sometimes for a while in the other one when I have to brief. I’m the Director of Facilities Management for my Org. That speeds up the loss and I have been at a low after 5-6 hours 193.8ish. I tested it when I left work early once and measured when I got home at 1030 and was 193.8 which was 5.5 hours after waking

As for Melo he looks 6’6” or a hair over with 6’3 Jim Boheim depending on the picture. Some he looks shorter but that’s camera angle. Knowing someone who’s met Boheim in person before and having seen him relatively close distance on the court in college at a tournament I could buy 6’3 or a hair under when he was coaching Melo

@Miller: An early afternoon and evening may vary by 1/8”. But really if it’s mid afternoon and evening they’re the same. So a guy losing a full inch like that would prob get 6’5 7/8 listing at best if not the 6’5.75 if he loses quickly which most taller guys do

@Miller: afternoon and night are the same. After about 7-8 hours of being awake you don’t lose anymore. That’s the consensus among most here on this site. When I measure my 6’4.25-6’4.3 it’s about 7 hours after waking if not 6 some days if I’ve been very active. If I get up at 5 am and measure at Noon or 1 then that’s not night that’s afternoon. Rob uses 5’8 1/8 that’s his low for the day

3/4-1” is sorta a solid so is 1-1/4”
This is why I consider myself a strong 6’4 since I fall to 6’4.25-.3 at a low. A guy that size that you mentioned could be a borderline legit 6’6” or a weak 6’6”

It's subjective. Some people here consider 1/8" over/under an inch as strong/weak, and for others it's 3/8". I'd personally consider 1/4"-3/8" range, since 1/8" is negligible.

@Miller: I’m usually 195.7cm out of bed and 193.8 in the afternoon which is 6’4.299. Other days if I hit the gym or stand a bit more I’m down to 6’4.25. I hit the gym 4 days per week and when I go out on the weekend for happy hour etc I do stand and get down to at least that amount so I just go with 6’4.25. My extreme low is 193.2 but I surely didn’t hit it that day. 193.7-.8 is fair. I’ll give myself 6’4.25-.3 to cover it. I don’t rule out Melo being 6’6.25 but I don’t rule out 6’6 either. It looked about 1.5-2” difference. I honestly would’ve said 4.5cm minimum max 5. 5 would make him 6’6.25. 4.5 would be a touch over 6’6”. I used to think Pippen was 6’7” back in the day but I would say he’s more 6’6.75 barefoot. He’s had surgeries during his career on his back too more than once so it’s not unreasonable for him to have been a full 6’7” at his peak. But He didn’t edge Rodman by much today and I would go with 199 for Rodman.

I don’t think they took place in the morning back then at least not that year. Maybe if they did, maybe the players in question grew but Bogans was legit 6’4” in high school. I agree with your estimate below 198.5 for Melo

@Canson We can argue if Melo did not grow he should be 6'5 7/8 now at least a solid 3/8 lost from morning 6-8am draft height untill end of the day, problem is he look at least 6'6 sometimes doesn't look under 198.5cm zone. he either have grow 1/8 to 1/4 since drafted.
I give Melo an honest percentage chances of how tall he always look:
50% - 198.5cm
25% - 198.8-199cm

@Ellis 6’7.25: I’ll leave him not being on his feet long open as a possibility however. Then he may be able to dip below but judging how he looks on the court he looks a solid 6’6” at least. Even with Porzingis Rising even said while not looking 6’6.25 he does look 6’6 next to him. Porzingis may be nearer his draft listing in reality. I know with Kobe Melo is bare minimum 1.25” taller depending on if Kobe falls lower than 6’4.75 or if Melo is over 6’6” but in pics he’s at least 3cm taller and Melo is taller than Pierce as well. Melo is close to Lebron’s height. I would not at all be surprised if I had a mirror and more time to gauge it with others around again and maybe barefoot that Melo ends up right at 6’6 or that he could even be nearer 6’6.25 or in between

I guess that makes sense, you seem very confident in your answer and you have the evidence to support it so I'll agree with you. He looks tiny compared to Porzingis though lol, but I would too. Carmelo Anthony is 6'6.25, and Kristaps is like 7'1.5 near the morning and more like 7'0.75 at night. Carmelo is probably just under 6'7 when he gets up, what do you think he would get measured at in a draft combine assuming they are done in the morning probably around after an hour of waking. I'd think 6'6.75 or 6'6.5.

@Ellis6’7.25: while Carmelo could’ve measured early morning he would’ve grown since then. Not usual for growth but 2003 pre draft appears to be closer to an afternoon measurement on players I’ve seen. Keith Bogans is about as tall as I am. He measured at 6’4.5 in 02 and 6’4.25 in 03. He’s not less than a solid 6’4” for sure as he was that height in high school when I knew him. Same with Kirk Hinrich he’s 189 range in person. The only two that appear off are TJ ford as he is only 5’10 and Dwayne Wade looks like he’s a weak 6’3”. Melo was at least a full 6’6” if not up to the 6’6.25. The people around us said he was about 2” taller than me and one said 1.5-2”. I personally saw at least 4.5cm but maybe 5 honestly. Now it’s possible he wasn’t on his feet very long that day but I doubt he would fall much under the 6’6” mark. I have a friend who is 6’6 1/8 at a low and he looked at least the same nexf to me as my friend does. As for the difference with Lebron I tend to agree it’s about 2cm but Lebron is closer In height with you. He’s not much less than a full 6’7”. Unless Melo hadn’t been awake long and this was in the evening when I saw him. Even if it would maybe be 6’6” flat or 6’5 7/8 but to me he really does look the full 6’6 bare minimum next to Kobe as well. He also edged Paul pierce

@Canson: In my opinion I think that Carmelo Anthony at a low is 6'5.75 and after he gets up he is probably 6'7(right out of bed). I think LeBron is generally around half an inch to 3/4 quarters of an inch taller than Carmelo. My general understanding is that draft combines are taken in the morning, probably around an hour after getting up and if Carmelo Anthony got measured at 6'6.25, I'm pretty sure he would drop below 6'6. Also, I'm positive that the NBA wouldn't take there combine late because that would make there incoming draft class look short. That's my opinion on the matter.

@Rising: It’s possible he didn’t grow but that his posture improved. That could yield him a small gain albeit not a full inch. Even if we gave Melo the full 6’6.25 (that’s still within the realm of possibility to be fair but no higher), I would have Amare 6’8.5-6’9”. I’m thinking gains could be more like 1/4-1/2” tho (probably 1/4”). I would put Melo 198-199 range and Amare 205ish today

I’m thinking gains could be more like 1/4-1/2” tho (probably 1/4”). I would put Melo 198-199 range and Amare 205ish today

@Canson: I'm still skeptical of Amare growing. Shaq basically towered over him by 4.5" minimum even with looser posture: Click Here But if you compare 2011(first 2 pics) to 2013(last 2): Click Here then Amare does go from at least 2.5"-3" shorter than Chandler and just 2"-2.5" taller than Melo to just 2"-2.5" max shorter than Chandler and nearly 3" taller than Melo. I'd say still 2"-2.5" between Amare and Melo in 2012 pics, but Amare looks just 2.5" shorter than Chandler: Click Here Though Melo more consistently looks around 5" shorter than Chandler: Click Here Click Here Perhaps a bit less in the all-star photo, but no less than 5.5" in the Team USA pic. Amare's height varies, though. Melo and Chandler don't vary as much. Sometimes Amare does look a full 6'9", but other times just 6'8.5". Maybe he is the 6'8.75" you mention. Tough to say because I can't say it's impossible he corrected his posture since he always did look kind of hunched. Even a small correction at that height could add a fraction.

@Rising: if we were to gauge him with Amare Stoudemire I would also say he’s 6’6. I have Stoudemire at 6’8.75 if he grew from his pre draft. They made mention that his newfound claim was at a practice in the morning so I would say Rob May have him a bit overlisted. Best case maybe he’s 6’9” flat but that’s a stretch as that doesn’t look a full 3” with Melo maybe 2.5-2.75

@Rising: yea a solid 6’6” is definitely realistic for him. I wouldn’t completely rule out something like 198.5 but that’s about as high as I’d likely go. I wouldn’t go below maybe 198 flat but to be honest, he’s one of the most appropriately listed 6’6” guys on this site. Unlike Rick Fox or Derek Theler (imho). Or even mic Fleetwood. Even in that pic above he gives off a legit 6’6 impression

7'1.25" Kristaps Porzingis makes Melo look a weaker 6'6" here: Click Here Click Here Although Melo has about 1.5" on 6'5" listed Arron Aflalo, but looks like Canson was right that Melo didn't really grow past his solid 6'6".

@Ellis: I also view it as Christian and I being very tall range and in your case you’re very tall/extremely tall. If you’re up to 6’6.5 at a low you’re closing in on extremely tall so 6’0” would be just tall
By the way what size would you estimate Melo’s feet to be? I could believe a 15 as listed but they can look larger in some pics. I’ve seen a 14 for him as well but they definitely look larger than that

@Ellis: you’re absolutely right. They will be. And I respect your opinion as well.
@Christian: I view a 6’0” person as the start of tall but that’s more in comparison to what I see daily (avg 5’9 guy) not just compared to me st my height

@Canson
That's right, I was simply basing it from my point of view. I'm over 6'5", so my standards are much higher than the average person. I can't call a 6'0" guy tall from my POV because I'd still tower over him.

@Ellis: I don’t think Christian was saying 6’2-3 is short. Sounds more like if the difference is what you mentioned it would be considered short to him. I also view 6’0” as tall myself. I think that’s about where it starts really.

@Christian 6'5 3/8'': You think 6'2-6'3 is short, that's pretty close to your height unless you view yourself as average. In my opinion(unless if you view yourself as average), I don't think anyone could view 6'2-6'3 as short unless they are like at least 7 feet tall. Now I aint saying 6 foot tall is short, it's just not tall to me, for me as I stated down below you have to be at least 6'2 to be viewed as tall by me.

I say 6'0" is tall because it's 3" above average for a guy. I'm basing it from an average guy's perspective. It's not really from my perspective. If that was the case, I'd say that 6'2"-6'3" is short.

@Canson and @Christian: Canson makes a very valid point, it is all about who it is coming from, since I'm 6'7, I think 6'4 (a little shorter than me) is ideal, I honestly find it amusing that Christian views 6 foot as tall, but then again that is coming from me and since I'm so tall my opinion will be different, but that is okay, and I respect Christians opinion. I most definitely see 6 foot being described as tall, I get it, but standing with a 6 footer they only come up to between upper lip and the bottom of my nose so for me my opinion will be different.

Anything above 6'0" is already tall IMO. I've seen guys that height get described as tall from time to time.

@Ellis: I would put 6’3-6’6 as very tall and anything approaching 6’7” may be extremely tall. Say around 6’6.5 or 200 cm. But definition of ideal will vary based on how someone else views their height and how they feel about being taller shorter etc. a guy who is 5’9 may say 5’11 or 6’0” is ideal whereas a guy who is 6’0 may say 6’2” is ideal. Then someone my size or Christians may say that our current heights or ideal or something a little less 6’2-6’3 perhaps. Then you see some guys like one Christian mentioned, a friend of his who said that he claims 6’1 at 5’11 1/2 because he felt that 5’11 range is too short. That guy could easily claim 6’0” even if he were a straight 5’11” but he feels that an acceptable height is 6’1” or above. So for some guys 6’0” is even too short

@Christian 6'5 3/8: It depends where you are, but the general census is that 6'2 is tall a legit 6'2 so you're right, it's not like it will not be accepted or something, but 6'4 as well is an ideal height. This is how I see it (My Opinion) :
5'8-5'10: Average
5'11-6'1: Above Average
6'2-6'4: Tall, and ideal, a person who is truly 6'4 is like the height that is very tall but also accepted as an ideal height, 6'2 and 6'3 are also very tall. Now, I'm not saying that 6'4 is the popular opinion, but it feels like the alpha height for a man. Very tall, and still accepted as ideal.
6'5-6'6: Very tall
6'6+: Extremely tall, I'm not being biased because I'm above, it's actually shown that anything above 6'6 in a 5'9 society is viewed as extremely tall.

I don't believe that's true. The most ideal height range for men is 6'1"-6'2" if you see statistics. And even then, many don't quite realize how tall a legit 6'1"-6'2" is.

@Ellis: mad respect. And I’m not knocking you. Some guys here have mentioned that they would want to be 7’0”. To me, ideal is very broad. Some guys here will say that 6’0” is as tall as they would like to be but then you see 6’1-6’2 for some and even up to 6’8-6’9 like you mentioned. Guess it depends on the person
