@Sotiris: are we sure that Porzingis is not a morning measurement? I can’t tell but wouldn’t rule it out although he can look 7’1 as well with Melo

@Rising I could be wrong about Alonzo, but he does look around 6'8" here, next to a 6'10" Patrick Ewing and 7'1.25" Dikembe Mutombo... Click Here
As for Battier, he's shorter than LeBron... Click Here

You're right about that pic w/ Pipen, it was tilted... I noticed it only after I posted it.

Just throwing this out there... We all know that Andre had custom-made cowboy boots. Something that is overlooked perhaps is that Shaq also had custom-made sneaks. Check out the size of Shaq's heel... Click Here

Sotiris you can post all the pictures you want it's not gonna make a difference to me this isn't like the undertaker where I've never been close enough to guess his height which with big show I was close enough and he was over 7'0" in boots so I'd still say 6'11" barefoot now that was 15 years ago so he could've lost height since then but I still don't see him under 6'10"

@Rising: McGrady is supposedly 6’6.5. The newspaper article putting him 6’7” may just be a roundup or a morning measurement. Next to Vince Carter who is approximately 6’5” (6’5.5 is likely an earlier measurement possibly rounded up). He doesn’t look 6’7 with 6’4” Bonzi Wells. Pippen actually can look taller at times with Wells than Tmac. As for Ariza not sure if he’s a morning height or not. He honestly looks a legit 6’7” at times. Best comparison may be with MWP who’s probably around 6’5.25 at a low judging how he looks with Kobe.
As for Battier, I agree that he’s probably taller than 6’6” but to Sotiris’s credit he can look 6’6 range (not a flat 6’6”) at times too. He looks shorter than boozer or Lebron both at times. But on the other hand, Battier looks at least 6’7” other times With Lebron. i would say 6’7” most likely. I don’t believe he’s 6’8”. Boozer measured close to 6’8” but is said to be closer to 6’7” by some which he honestly looks 6’7 and change. One thing I will point out is Elton Brand’s height. He shows 6’8.25 but no chance. He is said to be 6’6”. With Mike Miller Battier looks 6’7” imho as Miller is around the same. I question Gasol’s height a bit though as he doesn’t look 7’0” imho. Probably 6’11” range. I used to think he was 7’0 but not sure now.

@Rising: I would’ve given Chandler 6’11 and Eddy Curry I’ve heard 6’9 3/4 for as well. For Stoudemire maybe 6’9” flat but really 6’8.75 today. Pippen I feel would be 6’6.75 (at least today) next to MJ 6’4.5 imho. Pippen may have been a fraction taller prime but he’s had a bunch of back issues with herniated discs going back to when he was younger with the Bulls (in the 80s)

@Jurgen
Khali was described 6'11 7/8". If the article wanted to downgrade his height, they wouldn't have chosen something so specific like 6'11 7/8". Besides, he looks shorter than Shaq who's a real 7 footer. As for Kanter, I've already said that his shoes are no thicker than Air Force One's which are no more than 1.25", while Strowman's chunky construction boots add around 4cm. Kanter doesn't even have a big afro in that pic btw. Just slightly thicker than average curly hair. That's a good 2.25" difference, and 2.5"-2.75" if you include footwear difference.

Big Show was alot taller like close to 5 inches taller out of gear (at least in 2010) than Baron Corbin who I met in early 2014.
That Show and Jericho photo is from 2009, if you watch videos Show has 14 inches on Jericho and a full head (12 inches) on Miz a short time later when they tagged
I would be surprised if Show is 6'9 range today given the height he has in Cesaro and Sheamus and had on Dean Cain a year or two again never mind a decade ago when he teamed with Jericho

@Sotiris: I agree Shaq is clearly taller with Pippen than Chandler and Shaq was also noticeably taller with Amare than Chandler was. I wouldn't guess Chandler less than his rookie 6'11.5" measurement, but maybe no more either since Pippen oddly looks just 4" shorter than Chandler even while slouching and he's measuring up quite well to supposedly 6'10.5" Eddy Curry there. Also, Pippen still looks near 1" taller than 6'6" Jalen Rose even while slouching. Good pic of Magic and Barkley. Magic looks anywhere from 4-5 cm taller, imo. I certainly don't see Griffin towering Pippen though. The photo is tilted and neither are standing straight and Pippen is closer to the camera so it's difficult to say what the difference is because the background makes it not so easy to definitively correct the tilt. I'm not sure if 'Nique was less than 6'7", though Barkley(with a possible camera advantage) looks just slightly shorter there. I have a much easier time believing Mourning's 6'9.5" measurement than 6'8" flat for him. The lowest I could buy would be 6'8.5"-6'9" range. But considering I guess Jordan just under 6'5" or about 195 cm, Pippen looks about 6'7" flat with him in 2012, imo. Battier is not 6'6", though. I don't know where you got that one. He was said to have measured a legit 6'8" and whether he's that tall or not, he was taller than Tracy McGrady and Trevor Ariza, both around 6'7".
Back to Big Show, I wouldn't be completely surprised if he stretched a bit over 6'10" for a measurement and 6'11.5" is probably the lowest I could buy peak. When did he first appear to lose height? I'm still skeptical of a full 2" height loss by his age, but I see a much better chance of Show at 7' peak than Andre.

No,that is how Jericho looked with Big show woth similar boots dont asume show has fotwear advantage
The big show has a very big head if he was 6ft11 a 5ft11 guy will reach his chin so that looks accurate
Jercho is just a bit under his head

@Sotiris: the picture with Magic and Majerle and Terry Porter is what I’ve been proving all along. Barkley is not and has never been 6’5 let alone over it. Magic at 6’7 makes him about 6’4.5 (max) and that’s with Magic leaning a bit. Majerle also is taller than barkley as I’ve been saying all along. Barkley may just be 6’4.25 today honestly

Height descriptions in newspapers and magazines are meaninglessness. Arnold was described 5ft 10 at peak Click Here
Kanters shoes measured over 1 and 1/2 inches during combine so I doubt he has less footwear than Strowman, in fact Kanters heels look noticeably bigger. All in all Strowman looks solid 6ft 7 with Kanter because Kanter has afro which isn't part of his overall height.
And of course Strowman has a bigger head. He probably has taken enough HGH to kill normal humans. The guy used to pull airplanes for a living.

@Sotiris: Some interesting finds, but in quite a few of those Shaq is further from the camera. As for Lebron, I think there's enough wide shots, back to back shots etc. to get an idea of the height difference. That Magic pic is a good find as it's a wide shot and Shaq looks to be standing straighter, but Magic is closer to the camera and the background suggests it might be slightly tilted in Magic's favor, but Magic is reaching Shaq's eyes in that photo so it's still anywhere from 4.5" to 5" while Kareem is about an inch taller with Magic in that walk of fame photo. He does look under 7 feet with Jerry, but in both cases looks further from the camera to me and with the angle lower, I'd think this would exaggerate the height difference. Here's a back to back photo with Yao that appears to be taken from a good height: Click Here That Wade photo is pretty funny, though. He's measuring up better to Jerry than he often did to Shaq. He must be standing on something.
But you're right, we should probably take this more over to Shaq's page lol.

Khali was also given 7'1 listings in India before he was famous...and has claimed 7'2 a couple times, but he has also casually said "7 foot" as well...Could be a John cana effect where he's actually over 6' but is just saying a round number.
Whatever he actually is...that man sure looks 7'1-7'2 a lot.

@Sotiris: I do agree on Deontay Wilder. He looks shorter than Carmelo (possibly due to the angle). While it’s likely he’s not shorter, I would say that knowing what both of us know about time of day, it’s very possible that his 6’6.5 measurement is an earlier one and that he’s similar with Melo 6’6/6’6.25 instead of 6’6.5

@Sotiris: Thanks! I agree Bosh is probably a guy who doesn’t dip under 6’10”. Not sure if 6’10.25 is a low but maybe it is. I will say he would fall into the same category as Carmelo as I highly doubt he falls under and doubt either of them fall under the marks. As for Lebron, I would say he looks as if he falls under the mark when standing with Bosh or Melo but he’s still likely closer to 6’7” than 6’6”. I would estimate him as 6’6.5 absolute minimum but 6’6.75 probably.

@Christian A height of 6'6.25" for Strowaman is A-OK by me.
@Canson If Tyson Chandler is really 6'11" (I think he might be 6'11.25"), then consider the pic of him w/ Dirk Nowitzki (who I see as 6'10")... Click Here
More importantly, a 6'10" Dirk puts this BIG pic of Big Show at around 6'9" (IMHO): Click Here (I've taken the liberty of straightening this pic with the awning in the background.)
Big show is lifting his head up akin to what we always saw w/ King Kong Bundy (making him look taller). Add to that the fact that Dirk is leaning in, like the pic of Mo Bamba and Kanter.

Khali was listed 6'11.5" and 6'11 7/8" in some sites and articles when he was a bodybuilder, and that was before he became a wrestler. A 7'1" person would not get 6'11.5" or 6'11 7/8" listings.
I dont care maybe he was a teen and still gorwiing a 7ft KHALI would mean a big downgrade for every wrestler he faced:Batista Cena HHH etc,and that would downgrade the guys who they faced, just 7ft makes no sense

I think it's funny that some of you people are claiming 6'9" I'm gonna swear on my life this that I saw big show up close at a show in 2003 and I swear it he looked over 7'0" 7'1" I'd say but of course he had boots on so I'd say take off 2 inches so 6'11" is fair I really feel he didn't lose any height he just hardly ever stands straight so people assume he did you people can argue with me all you want but I know what I saw

@Canson: Possible because he does look slightly shorter than Melo in the pic, but I thought if a guy looked a solid 6'6" and was claiming 6'6.5" it was pretty believable. But even a 6'6" flat Wilder makes Shaq look at least 7'0" since the difference has to be more like 7" to reach just his nose on a man Shaq's size and then you deduct about a half inch for footwear advantage.
@Sotiris: 7'0" peak is fair for Shaq. That's what some reports said he measured, though the article Rob quotes said a little over, which looks right to me. Here's Shaq with a man closer to 6'5" than 6'4": Click Here If Kobe is 6'6" in shoes then Shaq is looking 7'2" in shoes there back to back in street clothes. I'm not saying he's 7'1" barefoot, but he looks a strong enough 7'0" to me and can look 7'1" a lot even in street clothes. I'm not convinced of height loss, though. In the wider shot with Tebow, Shaq is almost a full head taller: Click Here That still puts Shaq a pretty easy 7'0". Same thing with 5'11.5" Jimmy Fallon: Click Here I actually buy Fallon's listing because I've seen him with someone I know was around that height, but even if you say more 5'11" flat, you still have Shaq easily 7'0". And I believed Shaq had probably lost some height myself before seeing some of these comparisons, which credit goes to JT for posting. But Shaq looks at least 6" taller than Lebron in the pic you posted and I think I was the one who uploaded that with the line. I intentionally put the line high to eliminate all doubt and Lebron is still barely above Shaq's nose. Here's the 4 pics you just posted: Click Here Lebron usually reaches Bosh's eyebrows, sometimes a bit above and sometimes a bit below with the one exception where he reaches his eyes, but never below. You want to see someone who truly looks enormous with Lebron: Click Here As you can see, Lebron is consistently right around the bottom of Shaq's nose or just above. Note Wade was anywhere from Bosh's nose to his mouth, but look at how Shaq is consistently around a full head taller than Wade: Click Here Shaq is easily a couple of inches taller than Bosh with both Lebron and Wade. But I give you credit for changing your mind from 6'11" to 7'0" peak for Shaq and in general for posting to back up your claims and having an open mind so you're definitely not a troll.

As for Babatunde being 6'8" rather than 6'9"... NFL listings are not always gospel truth.

@Sotiris: for Chandler maybe 6’11” flat 6’11.5 was possibly earlier in the day. For Barkley I would say 6’4.5 at a low. Likely wouldve measured 6’5 or 6’4 7/8 around combine time. As for Ayton and Mo Bamba I never considered that pic

@Rising: It’s possible that Wilder is around 6’6 maybe 6’6 1/8 depending on when the 6’6.5 was. With Carmelo he could look the same size honestly or Melo taller. I could go out on a Limb and say same size both may be 198-199 range

@Erik C: I do not always agree with Sotiris’s listings.but I can say the same for almost any poster and they can say the same for me at times or even often. However that said, I do agree with some of his. And he has also provided some very good estimates that many people criticize him for. Meaning he’s guessed a few guys consistent with how they actually look and I agree with his estimates more so than many others. The “others” are the ones who are quick to call him out or get sour when someone downgrades the celebrity which is hilarious. And These same people that criticize him are wrong themselves at least on some celebrities. But truthfully, Sotiris unjustly takes a lot of heat for his guesses because he bucks the norms on this site. Most people here simply take Rob’s listings and don’t consider that they could be slightly off especially if the person has lost height or if the measurement were earlier in the day or if it’s just a claim. And if something is off, meaning another celebrity “outs” the one who is possibly overlisted. They revert to inflating the one who is properly listed. And While Rob is truly amazing at what he does, he is human just like you or I. But Through all of it, Sotiris is a stand up guy and someone that I respect a lot and will always defend because it’s just not right how he’s treated here. Not to mention he is respectful toward others. And to me, It’s hilarious when other posters inflate every celebrity they comment on, sometimes egregiously and deliberately as fanboys yet their comments roll through uncontested and they don’t get the type of criticism he gets when his guesses are no worse than theirs.

I mean look at these pics of shaq and kobe. Prime Kobe who might be 6'6 in bball sneakers doesnt even make it to prime shaq's EYES. I seriously doubt in any of thw pics ive published there would've been a significant shaq footwear advantage that wouldve been the deciding/determining factor. Also take into account that Kobe is closer to the camera on both pics meaning if shaq was closer he'd be even taller. = shaq is a hella legit 7 footer. Even now.

@Sotiris Gravas
Alot of things you've posted and pointed out seem at least to me to be arguable, good points. And unlike some ppl, i dont really believe you're trolling whatsoever. However, that being said, i totally disagree and think its crazy to put Shaq sub-7 footer. You didnt even really elaborate to whether you think shaq is only sub-7foot now or whether referring to PRIME. Like he was never 7 foot. That's crazy. If shaq was never 7 foot sooooo many ppl listed have to be downgraded and get some of their height removed. Firstly, sane thing goes with khali being 6'10 or however low you pegged him. If khali was 6'10, shaq might not even be SIX TEN! Bc in that pc they look pretty much totally level and the same or khali might edge him out by the slighest bit or shaq might but even if shaq edged him out he still wouldn't be 1.5 inches taller at the 6'11.5 you're putting him at. And even if it was that thats way too low for him. Especially prime. Than you have to TREMENDOUSLY down grade Big show. And also super legit 7'3 Bol Bol and his son shareef. Link - Click Here link- Click Here
If you look at these pics The camera angle seems fine on both of them and excluding bol bol's extra hair in the pic and accounting that shaq is NOT in his prime and he's slouching AND shareef has extra hair, there's BARELY a difference between them. If shaq was 6'11.5 or even 7'0, then bol bol needs a huge downgrade and is like 7'0-7'0.5 range. Now, i think shareef might've been a little younger in the pic with shaq so he might've grown a tad bit. But it would only be a tad bit at best and shareefs been listed the same for a long time now. And thats assuming that the pics are from separate times and shareef grew. And even then with the advantages stacked against shaq he still comes out on top. Let alone in his prime. Then shareef needs a huge downgrade, 7'3 bol bol needs a huge downgrade. And Kobe bryant would need a HUGEE downgrade. In conclusion, shaq really cant be less then 7'0 and khali either has to be the same, the slightest bit more or less, so hes def not 6'10, let alon prime bc wrestling really punishes a persons back. And shaq very well couldve been 7'1 ft peak.

@Rob I can see Charles Barkley as 6'4.75"... taller than MJ.
I see that I goofed and wrote that I posted more pics on Studd's page rather than that of Andre, as well as posting a wrong pic. Oh, well.
1) I may be wrong about Khali's height, but check out this pic of a 6'3.75" Jinder Mahal (closer to camera) and let's say 6'9.25" barefoot Enes Kanter (not NBA listed 6'11" LOL): Click Here
2) Now, compare that w/ Jinder and Khali... Click Here There's not a big difference between Khali and Kanter. I may be wrong, but I really think Khali is 6'10".
3) For Comparison, here's 6'11" David Robinson w/ 6'4.5" Michael Jordan... Click Here
Just for fun, here's Robinson w/ 6'10" Vladimir Cuk and 6'2" Mark Cuban... Click Here
IMPORTANT: Look at 6'10" (listed 7'0") Cuk and 6'2" Cuban... Click Here
IMPORTANT: Again, as compared to Khali and 6'2" Edge... Click Here

Sotiris Gravas, it's not hyperbolic. You seem to intentionally pick the photos with the worst angles or where someone is further from camera and looks smaller to prove a point.
The Shaq and Wilder photo is a good example because the full length photo shows the true height difference between the two Click Here that's a 7-8 inch height difference so if Wilder is 6ft 6 like you claim then Shaq is clearly over 7 foot which is what he was measured at.
Barry has at least 3 inches on DDP so how can both be 6ft 4?
DDP only came to Big Show's mouth at peak Click Here
How is Strowman closer to the camera with Kanter? And their footwear heelsize is similar. Strowman at 6ft 6 is your opinion. People estimating him that low are still just estimates not reality.
There is no way Undertaker is as low as 6ft 5. That's crazy talk.
Can you post a link to the actual 6ft 8 listing for Babatunde, NFL official site has him at 6ft 9
Click Here that photo you linked looks fan made

@Sotiris: I think Mo Bamba may even be 6’10.5-6’11”. A 6’11.25 combine could mean that he was 6’11-6’11.25 range and lost half inch from there. Very possible he comes down to 6’10.5. As for Kanter, I would go strong 6’9” if anything. I doubt a flat 6’9”

@Sotiris: I agree on Rodman and Phil (similar) but Jackson may be around 199 like Christian said. I don’t know about 198. Maybe too low. As for Malone, Maybe he falls in the weak 6’8 range tho 6’7.5-6’8”. But you may actually be right about him to be honest.

If Jinder Mahal is actually more like 6'3.5", not even 6'4", then I lean more towards Khali being under 6'11"... My 2 cents.

I thought Shaq might have shrunk, but he's still easily 7'0" minimum. Here's the full pic with Wilder pic: Click Here Wilder is about 6'6.5", but even if he were 6'6" flat, Shaq still wouldn't be under 7'0" because he's around the bottom of Shaq's nose and standing slightly in front of Shaq, though has about 1 cm footwear, but he's not at all looking less than 6" taller even subtracting that. And speaking of Shaq and 6'2" guys, just imagine how short Lesnar would be without the cowboy boots or hat: Click Here

Sotiris is right Dalip Singh was never a true legit 7’1”...Sotiris, donyou recall his Pro Body Building Days in India? He turned pro in India. And at the time was known as the tallest body builder ever. It was the early to mid 1990’s. He was listed at 6’11-7/8” during his body building days. He also had a few 6’11-1/2” listings. Muscle Mag international had a great article on him in the mid 1990’s...they listed him @ 6’11-7/8”...Another publication by Weider had him listed @ 6’11-1/2”. And I think he truly lost noticeable height by 2010. Young peak Shaq had a few different barefoot measurements of him taken & listed. Most where all between 7’0-1/2” to 7’1”. Which I totally buy! I Also buy the current older, fatter 350-370 lbs Shaq only now being 6’11-1/2”.

Please ignore that ridiculous height line (which I didn't place there). I notice that a lot of ppl have problems w/ depth perception. They don't realize that a guy is actually standing in FRONT of someone, and that if the person in back were to actually step forward, he would then look even taller.

Bamba is a legit 6'11"... Kanter is 6'9"... which makes Braun Strowman (in construction boots and closer to the camera around 6'6". That's all. (Which I already proved w/ the pic of 6'8" Babatunde.)
For comparison, Bamba is around the same height as DeAndre Ayton and Tyson Chandler.
Braun Strowman being 6'6" isn't my qualified opinion... it's what's known as reality.

Great find Supermanfan380! Looking at Satnam's instagram page, the 7'2" basketball listing might not be too far off.

Next to Kevin Durant & Dwight Powell he's easily over 7ft tall. He looks about 2 inches taller than The Great Khali. Khali was probably 7ft in his prime, but nowadays lost a bit of height. He seems to be suffering from the same disease as the famous giant Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca), who was over 7ft tall in his prime, but nowadays stands around 6'10" (if he can even stand at all these days) due to his x-shaped legs.
Seeing Satnam next to Kevin Durant, Dwight Powell, Great Khali & Sim Bhullar, my guess is Satnam is ~7'1".
Olivier Richters looks about an inch taller than Satnam Singh, so his 7'2" claim might actually be close to the truth. He was always very adamant in claiming he was 7'2", yet it's those pics with Big Show that always made me doubt his claim.

I knew him when I was training with The Silverback Crew out of Charlotte, NC. Witnessed him get an early morning barefoot measurement of 6’7-1/2” & 402 lbs @ a Strongman event in 2012. Please post this pic also on Braun Strowman’s page. He is legit taller than Kane (Glen) when both men are barefoot or in equal footwear. Rob needs to give Braun at least a 0.5” upgrade. He has him @ 6’6.75”....Braun needs to be at a minimum 6’7.25” or 6’7”! Please post this on Braun Strowman’s page. Regards.

Here's yet another Jackson Galaxy look-alike, only this time he's around two thirds of a foot taller than the patient cat saviour! Big Show? He's not exaggerating, and to think, at 6ft10, this wrestler has actually LOST HEIGHT!
Mr Show can have 6ft10 for his today's height and 7ft for his peak.

Here’s a rough idea how Harris/Silo Sam would have measured up to Giant Gonzalez. Click Here IMO Gonzalez had at least 4 inches on him.
Here’s Harris in a 1986 AWA battle royal. Click Here I matched up Harris and ~6’1” Curt Henning here Click Here Harris does not look exceptionally tall in the ring here but it may be due to posture.

Click Here Silo Sam/Jon Harris was probably at least 7’2” range. IIRC Chris or another poster on this site mentioned some plan by WWF in the mid 1980s to have Harris (as Trapper John) tag team with Andre but it never materialized

@Sotiris. The doorway Silo Sam is standing in looks very similar to the door ways in my house as far as the trim goes. If its your standard American 6'8" door like mine, then in shoes he looks around 7'0" or 7'1". At least that's what my tape measure says when using my door frame based off of that picture. The comparison pics with Andre and the ring ropes don't seem super consistent, but it looked like Silo and Andre could have been similar in height. Of course in the end its a picture. If taken from a different angle and camera distance Silo may look comparatively taller or shorter.

Gretz, as I said it's possible. Footballers take bigger hits than wrestlers and Andre rarely left his feet. Him getting slammed was a big deal. Ben Davidson said Ladd was 6'6 in an interview so maybe that's as tall as he ever was. All I know is that when I saw him in March 2004 he was shorter than Kane and both were in dress-shoes.
184guy2, Sam worked couple of matches for WWF. I haven't seen enough of him to estimate his height within a certain range but he did look huge next to 5'10 Lance Russell and he was supposedly 7'2 legit but billed 7'4-7'8.

If I'm not wrong , Sillo Sam was also billed 7'3 . But I think he only wrestled in AWA ,not in WWF
Anyway he would be the second just behind 7'6-7'7 Gonzalez and before Silva and Khali ( 7'2 and 7'1 )

Oh thats very convenient Vegas,years of playing football and wrestling has shrunk ladd.But a 40+ year old Andre taking 20 years of bumps in the ring dosen`t count for him losing height in most of your opinions.If he was 7'0" and a fraction in 1972 isn`t it reasonable to think he might have dropped to 6'10"by 1991?In that late pic with terry Gordy he was lucky if he was 6'10".But I guess thats peak height to you,does anyone out there really think Andre didn`t lose 2+ inches of height over 20 years?

Being listed at a certain height in a competitive sport does not mean you were measured that height. Morgan was listed 6'10 as a Division 1 center in college basketball Click Here
A celebs word especially a wrestlers word means very little in grand scheme of things because this industry has always been carny with the objective of working the marks (fans) to hand over their hard-earned money to watch a pre-determined 'fight'.
Re: peak height, Ladd himself wouldn't have been peak height when he wrestled Andre in the late 70s given he was around 40 and had spent probably 15 years playing football in school, college and pro prior to that.

What's funny about so many posters on this site is that we are to believe what they say about people's height but not what the actual people say about their own height.for example one might say they are 6 foot 5 and we need to believe it but if the celebrity says they're 6 5 and they're a liar. Ernie Ladd doesn't say he is a shade under 6 10 he says 6 9. Furthermore why would the article say a shade under 6 10 why wouldn't they just say 6 10 if they were going to be exaggerating his height anyway.
_____________
So we take everyone at face value then?
Dwayne Johnson claims 6'5 regularly..do you believe he is that tall?
HHH claims 6'4, do you believe he is that tall?
Rey Mysterio claims 5'4, do you believe he is that tall?
Matt Morgan claims 6'11-7 foot..do you believe he is that tall?
As for Ladd I saw him on stage at 2004 WWE HOF in March 2004. He was noticeably shorter than Kane (both in dress shoes). He wasn't someone whose height I had really done any research on before that so I expected him to be legit 6'9. Kane we had met in person previous day in the Hilton and he didn't look taller than 6'7 out of gear. Could Ladd have lost 3+ inches by that point..maybe.
This site is here for people to debate heights and compare research from videos, photos, meetings etc. The only thing we know for sure is if someone is actually measured and that measurement made public..and even then actual measurements are debated vigorously on here.

Sotiris,
Peak height - Ladd probably around 6’7” and Haku around 6’0”. Ladd’s difficult to peg though because he had really poor posture, at least in his wrestling days. Not the best quality but here’s Ladd with ~ 5’11” Bobby Heenan Click Here and ~6’3” King Kong Bundy Click Here Ladd in dress shoes looks pretty tall with ~ 5’11’ Paul Boesche Click Here but not so tall in dress shoes here Click Here or in wrestling boots Click Here
Ladd came from an all-black college so they may have listed him taller to get the attention of the NFL and AFL.
Haku may be barefoot in many WWF promos. In WCW, he wore wrestling boots and looked around 6’0” with Gene Click Here
62B, many here, including me, have looked closely at the WM 2 battle royale and there is no good point to compare Andre and Too Tall Jones. Iron Sheik was around 3 inches shorter than Nikolai Volkoff, who I saw backstage at the LA Sports Arena in 1986 and looked around 6’2”. If Sheik is sub- 5’11”, this other guy (Mr. Takahashi) is around 5’5” and Andre around 6’9” Click Here

@Sotiris 6'9 range is definitely possible for Big Show today as that photo indicates. As for Kane and Orton, that's not a great picture to judge and Orton probably has a bit of a footwear advantage as he's in wrestling boots. Kane easily has a few inches on Orton as other pictures are indicating.

Sotiris,
Peak Haku was 6’0”
Remember, most of the 1980’s he wrestled barefooted. So, any pic from that era without seeing footwear & feet, gotta give him 1” to 1.5” extra, due to lack of footwear. I think from 1986-1992 he was always barefoot in the ring & during promos.

A barefoot Big Show’s definitely taller next to Brian Blair than 6’9” Ed Too Tall Jones was back in 1986. Click Here Click Here The camera’s in front of Jones and Dan Spivey too so a disadvantage to Blair. Blair looked around Ken Patera’s and Iron Sheik’s height (~5’11”).
Too bad Jones could not have actually been in the WM 2 battle royale – would have been interesting if he and Andre had a stare down. BTW Nash was taller next to Spivey than Jones was.
_____________________________________________________
Patera was listed as 6'1" and 330lbs in the 1972 Olympics. By 1986 I see him probably around John Cena's size, a little over 6' and about 250-260lbs. Too Tall wasn't that much shorter than Andre at WrestleMania II. I watched that battle royal over and over to try and get a good idea of their height difference. If Ed Too Tall was 6'9" then I thought Andre came out in the 6'10-6'10.5" range. Which Jives with how tall I thought Andre was in 1987 when I bumped into him, which was between 6'10.5" and 6'11". I attribute the slight discrepancy to the time of day that I saw Andre vs WrestleMania being in the evening. Coincidentally I have also seen the Iron Sheik in person. I think 5'11 for him is very generous.

Vegas,
Great find on that video! After seeing that, noway Davey Boy Smith was under 5’10-3/4” !
I’ve heard more than a few people say that he wore lifts & was actually only 5’10” & not 5’11” or 5’11-1/2” ??? But, after seeing that video with Gene & seeing everyone’s footwear...the lowest anyone could rationally go on Davey Boy is 5’10.75” !!!

@Sotiris: that can't be true. He had to be closer to 5'11" if peak Brett Hart was close to 6'0". Check here: Click Here
Brett is closer to the camera and still looks about an inch taller.

Sotiris,
I’ve heard the samething about Davey Boy Smith. That he was actually closer to a weak 5’10” at best...but walked around looking 5’11” to 5’11.5” due to footwear shenanigans.

Why don't you post a picture of Big Show with Strowman when Big Show just lost some weight and could stand in better posture---because you dare not. There are some good pictures easily google-able and Big Show was clearly 4 inches taller if not more. Big Show has bigger boots but Strowman stood on his toes in most of those pictures so I call it a tie in footwear.
Your trying so hard to downgrade Big Show by ignoring the evident was annoying and starts to disgust me.

I agree Miko ...Show is also looking 7’0” barefoot with legit 6’2” Ed Leslie...who’s actually gaining an extra 0.5” to 0.625” with those thick black flip flops.

This is a rare picture from 97/98 (based on Stone Cold's reply to a user's question): Click Here
It was taken at Gold's Gym in Venice Beach, CA. This was Austin's email:
"that pic was at golds gym in venice, ca. both companies were working in the LA area. prolly around 1997-8 i guess."
If you take Billy Gunn's height as reference (6'4") and consider equal footware & ground, here are the heights of the others imo:(circa 97/98)
Hulk Hogan : 6'4"
Stone Cold : 6'0"-6'1"
British Bull Dog : 5'11"-6'0"
Ric Flair : 5'11"
Randy Savage : 6'0"
Big Show : 6'11"-7'0"

Simply stating here is 6'6" so and so who is actually 2" taller just to support a pic that does nothing to determine height is really getting old and is someone who is obviously fishing for arguments. I will give everyone a single guess on who I am referring to.

The 6’11” guy is basically the same distance from the camera as Big Show. Click Here He’s turned sideways a bit and his back shoulder lines up with Big Show. The size of Big Show’s head and the light in the background is making the other guy look less in focus and appear farther from the camera. If Big Show had hair… Click Here

As for the 6'11" guy w/ Show, he is clearly standing in back of him. If you can't see that, you have difficulty w/ depth perception. Show's head is big, but not THAT big. He's closer to the camera.
----------------------
They're standing side by side there Sotiris Gravas. If Big Show is closer to the camera it's very minimal and will hardly result in any height advantage.
From the many pictures you've posted here it's pretty clear you have difficulty with depth perception. The majority of pics you post to prove a certain celebrity isn't as tall as listed, you often use pictures where said celebrity is standing further from the camera. Your latest pic of Conan Stevens, Mattias Hues, Alexander Nevsky & Ralf Moeller is a good example of that. None of those people standing at equal distance from the camera. So why even use it?
If Conan Stevens is 6'9", than Nathan Jones is at least 6'8.5". If you see 2 inches between them then further debating height with you is useless.

I can`t believe shows height has dropped that much,but than again he is what 46-47.but the last time i seen him with shack.He was a solid inch or so shorter,Shack has been listed as high as 7'1(ironically in his college basketball days Paul white was listed at 7'1"also.But I have also heard most basketball heights are measured with sneakers on?at any rate at least in wcw he did look like his boots put him at the 7'1" mark at least he dwarfed giant Haystacks by at least 5 inches.My best guess at his peak 7'0" or so in socks.

Sotiris, I did say Bloom was someone you shouldn't use for comparison purposes then you proceed to compare him to everyone..
Like I stated Bloom was pretty much same height as Taker (in his 30s). Assuming Taker was 6'8 range in his boots that puts Albert similar height in his wrestling footwear 2 mins 15 seconds Click Here
Here he completely dwarfs Lesnar who himself was probably 6'3 in his sneakers Click Here
So clearly something is up or Bloom was close to 6'8 in his wrestling gear and not a reliable person to compare with.
Sapp was measured 6'4.25 barefoot at NFL combine. He had 3 inches easy on Lashley who Rob met. Akebono had quite a bit of height on Sapp when they fought in 2003 if you watch back that fight so 6'6 seems too short for him at peak.
Morgan was definitely taller than 6'6 peak. NCAA are not going to overlist him by 4 inches. 6'6 Morgan would equal 6'2 range Gallows and Gallows is taller than 6'2. Morgan also wasn't 2 inches shorter than Nash 10-12 years ago, not sure where you see 2 inches in Roels photo. Both Morgan and Nash were listed 6'10 by the NCAA at division 1 level, obviously almost two decades apart. Here are a few others Click Here Click Here
That's a photo I took just over a decade ago at a tv taping in Orlando, Nash in wrestling boots, Morgan in shoes Click Here
As for Jones he was listed 6'10 in strongman in the mid 1990s and 6'9 in mma. He was noticeably taller than Magnus Samuelsson in 1995.
Ali Baba met Taker in 2014, Undertaker appeared on Fallon in 2015. If he had dropped to 6'5 by 2015 he lost 1.5 inches in a year..yeah not buying that.
As for Sheamus. I used to know one of the top wrestlers in Irish Whip wrestling when Sheamus worked there. He told me Johnny Ace (then head of recruitment for WWE) sent his people to Dublin to sign talent and the minimum requirements were 6'2 barefoot and 220lb. Only 3 guys at the time met those requirements (Sheamus, Drew McIntyre and Wade Barrett) and WWE signed them all to deals while ignoring everyone else.
Sotiris, I did say Bloom was someone you shouldn't use for comparison purposes then you proceed to compare him to everyone..
Like I stated Bloom was pretty much same height as Taker (in his 30s). Assuming Taker was 6'8 range in his boots that puts Albert similar height in his wrestling footwear 2 mins 15 seconds Click Here
Here he completely dwarfs Lesnar who himself was probably 6'3 in his sneakers Click Here
So clearly something is up or Bloom was close to 6'8 in his wrestling gear and not a reliable person to compare with.
Sapp was measured 6'4.25 barefoot at NFL combine. He had 3 inches easy on Lashley who Rob met. Akebono had quite a bit of height on Sapp when they fought in 2003 if you watch back that fight so 6'6 seems too short for him at peak.
Morgan was definitely taller than 6'6 peak. NCAA are not going to overlist him by 4 inches. 6'6 Morgan would equal 6'2 range Gallows and Gallows is taller than 6'2. Morgan also wasn't 2 inches shorter than Nash 10-12 years ago, not sure where you see 2 inches in Roels photo. Both Morgan and Nash were listed 6'10 by the NCAA at division 1 level, obviously almost two decades apart. Here are a few others Click Here Click Here
That's a photo I took just over a decade ago at a tv taping in Orlando, Nash in wrestling boots, Morgan in shoes Click Here
As for Jones he was listed 6'10 in strongman in the mid 1990s and 6'9 in mma. He was noticeably taller than Magnus Samuelsson in 1995.
Ali Baba met Taker in 2014, Undertaker appeared on Fallon in 2015. If he had dropped to 6'5 by 2015 he lost 1.5 inches in a year..yeah not buying that.
As for Sheamus. I used to know one of the top wrestlers in Irish Whip wrestling when Sheamus worked there. He told me Johnny Ace (then head of recruitment for WWE) sent his people to Dublin to sign talent and the minimum requirements were 6'2 barefoot and 220lb. Only 3 guys at the time met those requirements (Sheamus, Drew McIntyre and Wade Barrett) and WWE signed them all to deals while ignoring everyone else.

If Big Show lost 2 inches nearly all that height loss happened post 2012

@RoelC I like that pic of Matt Morgan and Nash. Looks like a 6'6" guy next to a 6'8" Nash (he's not 6'9" anymore).
Here's 6'5" Matt Bloom next to Matt Morgan... Click Here Bloom obviously has a footwear advantage here.
As for the pic of Jones and Eudy, one guy is in dress shoes, the other guy has wrestling boots on. Big difference.
Here's 6'6.5" Sid Eudy next to Kevin Nash... Click Here , Click Here
I like that Akebono pic w/ Morgan; already have it on my laptop. I guess Akebono is 6'5" there (height loss) and barefoot, as opposed to a 6'6" dude wearing wrestling boots.
Nice pic of Dial and Show. Never saw that one. Show is standing closer to the camera which is why Dial's head looks so tiny. In the other pic of them standing side-by-side, they both have their heads up and Show looks to be about only 6'9" there. My 2 cents.
As for the 6'11" guy w/ Show, he is clearly standing in back of him. If you can't see that, you have difficulty w/ depth perception. Show's head is big, but not THAT big. He's closer to the camera.

@Vegas Yeah a lot of the time Show seems to stand relaxed so that's something to consider aswell. In fact in pictures generally people stand relaxed so they aren't always accurate indicators for judging height.

Sotiris,
Here’s my hypothesis on the 6’8” gentleman in the military. Quinton Dial was actually 6’5-3/8” barefoot (basically 6’5-1/2) ...and show is leaning a bit, slightly slumped down & losing an inch vs his Perfect posture with the 6’8” fella. That being said, I’d bet money the 6’8” fella, is only 6’8” in footwear. Making him 6’6-3/4” to 6’7” barefoot, if 6’8” in sneakers. If he’s 6’8” in his military issued boots? Then he’s only 6’6-3/8” barefoot. You get measured barefoot in the military on your entrance physical. However, No gaurantee you’ll claim that height though during idle chit chat. So, IMO..military gentleman is 6’6-1/2” barefoot & only 6’8” in footwear. And Paul was losing one inch in posture & stance with Quintin.

Photo with Dial isn't straight and Show is clearly standing with relaxed posture Click Here
Sotiris, I think you underestimate Wights headsize re: the chap claiming 6'11. Here he is standing behind Kane who has a bigger than average head himself Click Here
I wouldn't personally be using Matt Bloom to compare to anyone because something is off with him. On Smackdown tv in staredowns he looked pretty much identical height to Undertaker in 2000 and 5+ inches taller than Brock Lesnar in 2003. I met Bloom during Wrestlemania 20 weekend in 2004 on the street in midtown Manhattan and he looked 6'5 (6'6 in footwear). He just edged out my 6'4 (6'5 in shoes) friend who shook his hand etc. I kinda dismissed this meeting for a few years for a few reasons (pavement might not have been straight, it was getting dark, big crowd around him) but I saw him again out of gear in a hotel lobby in 2013 and he looked similar height to 2004 even though I was behind a velvet rope.
Undertaker the couple of times I met him he looked noticeably taller than Bloom out of gear. The last time I stood close to him was in 2009. Ali Baba estimated 6'6.5 for Taker in 2014. Is it possible after 30 years of pro wrestling he lost nothing? It is I suppose but the damage he had to have done to his knees alone must be considerable. No give in those rings and remember that's only the televised ones, WWE works couple hundred untelevised shows a year Click Here
Christian, Sheamus looked about 6'4 in footwear. His footwear was not normal though so I wouldn't be happy giving him an approximate barefoot estimate. He was wearing similar boot-type footwear to what he had on with Conan O'Brien (night he kicked the head off the mannequin) for reference.

As for Gallows and Morgan, thanks for posting that. I initially wanted to say 6'4" for Gallows, but didn't wanna look like I was trying to lowball him. Maybe he is 6'4" and Morgan is really 6'7", but I still think 6'6". The reason I estimated 6'6" for Morgan is b/c Heidenreich is only 6'6" and Nathan Jones, I assume is 1" taller than him. Perhaps it's a 2" difference... I guess more rigorous due diligence is required on my part. A-Train is only 6'5" and Jones only looked to have 2 inches on him. Jones only looked a little taller than Taker-- who in turn was never taller than 6'6.5" Sid Eudy, IMHO.
----------------------
So you're estimating Matt Morgan's height, based on how two other guys matched up in a pic. Yeah that makes sense!
If Morgan is 6'6" than I guess Nash is no more than 6'7" at best.
Click Here
Morgan in his big wrestling boots next to Akebono, who is either barefoot or in slippers.

Seeing as Akebono was measured at over 6'8" in his prime, I highly doubt he's below 6'7" in this pic.
Morgan must be wearing some real monster boots to pull this off.

Big Show and that 6'11" guy are standing side by side. They are taking a picture together, why would one guy stand much further behind? Big Show's head is indeed that much bigger. Big Show is a massive acromegalic giant, while the other guy is simply a very tall, but lanky guy.
And while Big Show's head is much bigger, it's obviously not double the size. Way to exaggerate there!

Shaq is easily a legit 7 footer even now. The latest photo with 6'6.5" Deontay Wilder shows this: Click Here That's far more than a 5" difference even considering Shaq has an extra cm or so footwear. Check out the '05 all-star team: Click Here Shaq is closer in height to 7'3" listed Zydrunas Ilgauskas than 6'11" listed Jermaine O'Neal and he's even standing a bit behind. I'm not saying either are their listed heights, but Jermaine's forehead alone gets him pretty close to 6'11" or comfortably 6'10" range as you can see next to roughly 6'7" Lebron and Ilgauskas would at least hit 7'3" in shoes. 6'11" sounds about right for Dirk. He looks roughly that with Pau Gasol who is also a legit 7 footer. Shaq, Khali and Pau could all be around 7'0.5" or 7'0.25". Marc Gasol looks shorter than Pau to me and maybe 6'11.5".

@JT, posting any shots of Show in the ring are completely pointless because we know he wears big heels and lifts when in the ring.
It's not coincidence that the only shots of him looking 6,11"+ are of him in ring gear.
Outside the ring vs Shaq, vs Lebron, vs Nadal, he looks in the 6,9" range.
Please no more in ring pics. Use your common sense and your eyes.
------------------------
Than why don't you comment on the pic of Big Show & Joe Manganiello that JT posted a few days ago. Is he looking 6'9" there aswell.
But I agree, please let us not post full body shots taken at a level camera angle, where we can see posture, footwear, ground level and whether or not people are standing at equal distance from the camera. Let us only use pictures taken from a shoulder mounted camera where we don't see anything from the shoulders down. Those pics are much better use to determine heights.

Sotiris, shoulder height means nothing. We measure at top of the head. Show is an acromegalic so has a much bigger head than a non-acromegalic. There are a million videos of the guy in-ring so why try and guess how tall someone is based on depth perception?
The photo with the fan who claimed 6'11, they are clearly side by side as it's a store signing. And those lines weren't added in as we found a photo of that chap in front of a height chart and then standing with a guy he claimed was 7'2.
Heidenreich I met about 10 years ago and looked close to 6'6 yes but definitely shorter in person than peak Matt Morgan. Morgan was listed 6'10 and played center at a division 1 school in the 1990s so again we are back to the NCAA over listing someone by 4 inches.. Click Here I see over on Morgan's page you estimated Gallows at 6'4.5 (met him too), unfortunately 6'6 Morgan and 6'4.5 Gallows isn't going to work given Morgan's got quite a bit more than an 1.5 inches on Gallows standing fulling straight at 13 minutes 32 seconds Click Here
Jones was noticeably taller than Undertaker in 2002 so 6'7 would be too short.
Bret I last met in late 2011 and he looked solid 5'11 then. Still looks 5'11 here with Tatanka in late 2016 (Rob has a recent photo with Tatanka) Click Here

Heidenreich I met about 10 years ago and looked close to 6'6 yes but definitely shorter in person than peak Matt Morgan. Morgan was listed 6'10 and played center at a division 1 school in the 1990s so again we are back to the NCAA over listing someone by 4 inches.. Click Here I see over on Morgan's page you estimated Gallows at 6'4.5 (met him too), unfortunately 6'6 Morgan and 6'4.5 Gallows isn't going to work given Morgan's got quite a bit more than an 1.5 inches on Gallows standing fulling straight at 13 minutes 32 seconds Click Here
Jones was noticeably taller than Undertaker in 2002 so 6'7 would be too short.
Bret I last met in late 2011 and he looked solid 5'11 then. Still looks 5'11 here with Tatanka in late 2016 (Rob has a recent photo with Tatanka) Click Here

@JT Ppl who admire their body post thousands of selfies on Instagram. I'm not on Instagram. In the past 7 years or so that I've been on Twitter, I've probably posted a grand total of maybe 5 pics of myself. I highly doubt that paints me as a classic narcissist. How exactly is posting a pic w/ a "Kick me" sign on my back a representation of a guy that's full of himself? I have a guy like Joey700--whose brain is probably Photoshopped--calling me out, along w/ yourself, as a liar of sorts. The only reason I posted selfies was to substantiate myself against the antagonism that was heaped upon me. If you continue to find fault w/ that, so be it. I'm here to have fun guessing ppl's heights, not to get into verbal jousts w/ ppl who cast aspersions on me.
I have the same photo of Show and Shaq on my laptop. Show is clearly wearing his big soles. When the world saw Show next to Shaq in dress shoes, he was exposed. Show is maybe 6'9" max barefoot now, IMHO... whereas I can't see Shaq being more than 6'11.5". If you disagree w/ that, you're free to do so. I won't hold it against you.
You post a lot of great pics online. I hope that continues. As for the negative energy you send my way: not a fan.

@JT, posting any shots of Show in the ring are completely pointless because we know he wears big heels and lifts when in the ring.
It's not coincidence that the only shots of him looking 6,11"+ are of him in ring gear.
Outside the ring vs Shaq, vs Lebron, vs Nadal, he looks in the 6,9" range.
Please no more in ring pics. Use your common sense and your eyes.

@Sotiris: personally you are entitled to your opinion. You don’t need to take a break from anything if that’s what you believe. If you’re going to get attacked over your estimates, then it’s only fair that those who upgrade every single person they comment on get the same treatment, yet that almost never happens. You don’t see much being said to those who inflate other people

@Vegas' No offense, but you have trouble w/ depth perception.. Laue's shoulders are way higher than Show's, and that includes eye level. Big Show is closer to the camera; if Laue stood at the exact spot of Big Show, his eyeline would be 100% higher. The fact that you can't see this is very perplexing.
Look at this pic... Click Here
Based on your logic, 6'4.75" Michael Carter-Williams' eyeline is very close to that of Big Show... but, of course, this is only an optical illusion. Also, look at Kevin Laue WAY in the back. He's clearly taller than Big Show. The fact that you can't see or understand this leaves me dumbfounded.
Look at how close Show is to the camera... Click Here Do you actually think their eyeline is the same...? Of course not. It's an optical illusion. If Laue came way closer to the camera, his higher eyeline would be 100% apparent. The fact that you can't understand this scares me. I'm quite shocked that you don't grasp this.
Here's Big Show next to a 6'11" dude with height lines drawn in showing they're the same height:
Click Here LOL. This is laugh-out-loud nonsense. Big Show is closer to the camera, which is why his head is so massive. If the other guy stood in the exact same spot, he'd be WAY taller. It's an optical illusion.
Another thing that makes me laugh is when ppl use the size of concrete blocks to measure someone, not realizing that if someone is 3 feet in front of a wall, he'll look taller:
Click Here The fact that ppl don't comprehend this blows my mind.
Here's 6'10" Dirk again (not even standing straight) w/ Show... Click Here If your depth perception--or lack thereof--prohibits you from seeing that the man in the back, namely Dirk, is taller, then I'm left genuinely terrified.

@miko You don't like a 6'6" Matt Morgan. Good to know.
P.S. On Stone Cold's page (23/Apr/18) you said you thought Bret Hart was around 6'1" peak height, and that 5'11" was "utterly absurd and trolling." I have news for you, buddy, Hart was never more than 5'11" and is 5'10" now.
Danimal 5'9 3/4" said on Andre's page (22/Apr/18) that he met the man back in 1995 and that he was 5'11", the height Stampede Wrestling had him at.
Your "new depths" comment is apropos of Hart only being 5'11" in his prime.
Stone Cold is max 6'0" today, which puts Hart at 5'10", tops... Click Here

sotiris you must have some virus on your computer that prevents you from posting full body shots, especially of Big Show. They aren't hard to find Click Here Shaq is over 7’0” too no matter how much you and a few others here huff and puff.

Dirk is at least 6’11” Click Here
Big Show’s definitely lost height from what he’s put his body through over 20+ years of wrestling and perhaps from the recent hip surgery but he’d still measure 6’10” range today.
And yes, sotiris, unless you decided to change your height again, you are taller than me. And no, I don’t have pics of me admiring my body to post here. Whatever floats your boat, pal…

I would be very wary posting any screenshot from outside or from a shoulder mounted tv camera. E.g Show looks much shorter compared to Nash in this clip from 1999 Click Here
Looking at the recent Billy Gunn, DDP and Alex Rodriguez photos (and Kane ones) he doesn't look to have lost 2 inches. 2 inches is alot for a 46 year old that looks to be in great shape right now compared to 12 years ago when he was morbidly obese. It's an observation though because I haven't met him in nearly a decade.
Sotiris, in that comparison Show comes out taller than Laue. Shows eyeline is higher and I doubt Laue has a bigger forward than an acromegalic Click Here

I met Morgan, Sheamus, Matt Bloom (A-train/Albert) and Test out of wrestling gear. Morgan for sure was taller than 6'6. He was taller in person than both peak Kane and Taker. Morgan was similar height to Kevin Nash and Nathan Jones. Morgan and Nash had a stare-down on November 13th 2008 episode of TNA impact if anyone can find that video.
Test was shorter than Heidenreich in person.
You can find photos of pretty much anyone looking shorter. I was at mania 22 sitting in the upper bowl and it was clear from there that Show had inches on Kane. Pay close attention to 3 minute 21 second mark Click Here

@JT News flash: you drew height lines on my 1.25" heel from an angle where the heel curves around, making it look bigger. (My dad is in 1" heels for comparison.) I stand corrected. Big Show didn't always wear 2" heels. Question: How big are they here:

You said I had a problem in a previous post w/ guys who are taller, larger, and stronger than I am. I don't. Apparently, it would appear that you take umbrage w/ guys (i.e., me) who may happen to be bigger than you are. Duly noted. There's always someone that's taller, larger, stronger. That's true. In my case, it applies to very few ppl. If that bugs you, tough cookies, friend.

@JT News flash: you drew height lines on my 1.25" heel from an angle where the heel curves around, making it look bigger. (My dad is in 1" heels for comparison.) I stand corrected. Big Show didn't always wear 2" heels. Question: How big are they here:

You said I had a problem in a previous post w/ guys who are taller, larger, and stronger than I am. I don't. Apparently, it would appear that you take umbrage w/ guys (i.e., me) who may happen to be bigger than you are. Duly noted. There's always someone that's taller, larger, stronger. That's true. In my case, it applies to very few ppl. If that bugs you, tough cookies, friend.

You see how Rob just downgraded Big Show's height by 0.5"... ? I like to think that some of my comments played a small role in that. So, maybe what I have to say isn't meaningless trolling, regardless of your "high" opinion of me.

@Rising: he would likely get something like 6’10.75 in the AM or 6’10.5 but perhaps they rounded up to 6’11”. Meaning Timmy. As far as Wade that’s high for him to measure if he’s 6’2.75 or 6’3”. Typically the variance is 1/2”. 3/4 seems high imho. I usually lose 3/4” for an entire day.

6'9.5" is also possible for Big Show today but that's the minimum. There's a good chance he lost 1.5" from his 6'11" peak.

….Just too many variables in that shot of Show and Schwartz. We don't know footwear, we can't see ground so Schwartz could be goofing around on tip-toes. Been a few years but I seem to remember Show being noticeably taller on that episode of Star Trek. Schwartz doesn't have long legs either.
Good point. Akebono was Schwartz’s height and Big Show has longer legs Click Here Kevin Nash was a few inches taller than Akebono and has really long legs but they were around the same length as Show’s Click Here Click Here
Sotiris, you claim Big Show wore 2” heels so this is what a 2” heel looks like scaled to your 1.25” heel Click Here That puts you below Hornswoggle's height....

Here's Big Show next to 6'4" Jack Swagger. If Show is a maximum of 6'9" now, w/ his 2" soles we get 6'11"... next to Swagger who's 6'5" in shoes. So, a 6" difference:
Click Here
Here's 6'8" MAX Kevin Nash... Click Here (peak height maybe 6'9"... always taller than 6'8" peak height Tyler Mane... currently 6'7") next to Big Show. Funny how Nash looks taller here... Click Here
Just a reminder, here's 6'5.5" evening height Ali Baba (I'm assuming w/ a 0.5" footwear advantage) next to 6'7" Tyler Mane... who maybe dipped down to 6'6.75" from standing around all day... Click Here , Click Here
One more thing, if Show was, say, lying down on a couch for a good long while prior to his encounter w/ Swagger, as opposed to Swagger standing around all day... that makes a difference... We don't know what one tall person does prior to being seen w/ another tall person, which makes determining exact height even more difficult.
@Rob Am I crazy or did you just lower Big Show's height from 6'10.5" to 6'10"...?

@Canson: I'm not arguing Duncan was measured 6'11" evening or even midday. If you say he's a solid 6'10" -- and that seems about right to me -- then he should be able to measure 6'11" in the morning. Of course, heights can be misreported as we know from Shawne Merriman getting reported such varying figures, but quite a few sources reported the 6'11" so I think it sounds like he got one of the early measurements. Aren't the measurements the first thing they do at the combine? Duncan looks similar to Aldridge, though played bigger. As for Wade, well he was supposedly measured in shoes 6'4.75". At least, that's what the NBA claimed. As I said, his height varies with Kobe, though. He oddly looked no more than 1" shorter in '07 all-star portraits: Click Here Click Here 2nd photo is primarily useful for showing shoes as the angle is low, but they don't look near 2" apart there. I think the Jordan photo is more significant since we agree Jordan is a tiny bit shorter than Kobe, but they're back to back and MJ looks near 2" taller or 1.5" absolute minimum. If Wade was the high end of your estimate then a 6'3.75" morning measurement wouldn't be completely out of the question. He likely shrinks 3/4" at the very least, but some also shrink 1"-1.25".

@JT let me just say that I love the pics you've posted online. I want to repost your great pics of Big John Studd next to 6'6" Fred Dryer. I don't know where you find this stuff...
Sorry, you're right, I do keep changing my mind when I see better evidence... I thought Bill Anderson was 6'2" based on Google, but it was an old post by you where you suggested Anderson was only 5'11 (w/ photographic evidence)that made me see the error of my ways. Same goes for Victor Rivera. You pointed out that it wasn't Rocky Johnson. The only reason I thought it was Johnson is b/c of Rob posting the photo. I confess I was very cocky when I first came on here. Lesson learned.
I see now that Andre was never 6'8" peak height, I see 100% 6'10" now, possibly 6'11" if standing full military posture. I admit I was ignorant on the matter. According to 6'6" Chet Coppock's email (that you supplied online), Coppock believed Andre was only 3" taller than him, putting him at 6'9", same height 6'5" Chuck Wepner gave. When Andre doesn't stand perfectly straight, that is the height he gives off.
I said Hogan was 6'3" peak, but I see now that he could have been 6'4", maybe even 6'4.5". I'm confused by him looking the same height as Fred Ottman, who Google puts at 6'3".
Sorry, if I put up stuff that you guys have already seen, this site is very new to me. I only learned about "morning height" from CelebHeights. When I said my morning height was 6'6.75, it was me trying to sound all fancy and knowledgeable, "knowing for 100%" that my daytime height was assuredly 6'6', just like the end of high school. Only thing is, I had grown taller since then. I only recently realized that the doors of my home I would visually compare myself to are 6'9", not the standard 6'8". As for my tweet, here's another one I posted shortly thereafter, once the scales had fallen from my eyes... Click Here
Also, I am 100% OK w/ ppl being taller than myself; it makes me feel less of an odd man out.
If I get heights wrong, know that it's not b/c I'm a "troll," I'm just learning here... same as everyone. I admit I've posted a lot and very frequently, but it was only b/c it was fun and wanted to get what I thought out there to see if ppl agreed. When I'd post stuff on Twitter there would be zero reaction. For what it's worth, I pretty much got what I wanted to say off my chest and won't really be posting all that much in the foreseeable future, but I will be following along.
P.S. If Kevin Laue is 6'11" not 6'10", it still means that Big Show is significantly shorter based off of those pics. I don't see how Show can be 6'10.5" like Rob lists him. My 2 cents. I recently posted pics of Lebron next to 6'10.25" Chris Bosh that pretty much shows 6'7.25" is a morning measurement for LeBron, and that his daytime height is more 6'6". Based on that, the pics of him and Big Show puts Show at around 6'9", tops. Hey, I could be wrong, right? :)
P.P.S. I highly doubt Trace Adkins is still 6'6". This is him w/ Blake Shelton listed as 6'4":

@Sotiris: MCW is more like 194cm max at a low if he measured 195 in the morning. I agree on Theus maybe he’s 6’5-6’5.25 while Barkley 6’4.5 at a low like he’s claimed
@Rising; I can’t believe Duncan at 6’11” in bare stockings. But a solid 6’10 I believe. Maybe misprint. That’s way too high with Nowitzki or Lamarcus Aldridge. I was gonna mention Dwayne Wade at 6’3.75 seems awfully high. He likely was measured in shoes imho as he looks 6’2.5-6’3” especially with Kobe or Wilton Speight or Barkley and ditto for MJ. As for Show, I agree. 6’11” peak 6’10” today

Looks more 6'9" or a bit over in recent photos, certainly nowhere in range of seven feet and I question if he was really even with Andre the Giant at their respective peaks, he does admit he thinks Andre might have had an inch or two on him.

@Canson: I didn't say there was a significant difference, I said Shaq is only a bit taller, but either way, he's definitely no shorter. Big Show's shoes might have a bigger heel than Shaq, but I'd agree the difference looks about 1.5" overall in that '09 video since it can look more and less than that. The article specifically says Duncan was measured barefoot so it can't be shoes, but some of those measurements are quite early so that could be one. The difference between Wade and Kobe varies too much, but Wade doesn't look as tall as 6'3.75" with Jordan.
Mourning certainly looked taller than 6'8" with Bill Russell in 2000: Click Here It's fair to give Russell about 6'9" at 66 considering he still looked close to it a decade later. Battier looked 1-2 cm taller than T-Mac and Trevor Ariza: Click Here I believe Ariza was 6'7" w/o shoes and T-Mac looks pretty much identical or if he's shorter it's by a very small amount. Mike Miller also just edged T-Mac and Grant Hill was a tiny bit taller than both.
@viper: I thought Big Show was more 6'11" range peak, but I have to agree after seeing those basketball photos again.

The difference between Wade and Kobe varies too much, but Wade doesn't look as tall as 6'3.75" with Jordan.
Mourning certainly looked taller than 6'8" with Bill Russell in 2000: Click Here It's fair to give Russell about 6'9" at 66 considering he still looked close to it a decade later. Battier looked 1-2 cm taller than T-Mac and Trevor Ariza: Click Here I believe Ariza was 6'7" w/o shoes and T-Mac looks pretty much identical or if he's shorter it's by a very small amount. Mike Miller also just edged T-Mac and Grant Hill was a tiny bit taller than both.
@viper: I thought Big Show was more 6'11" range peak, but I have to agree after seeing those basketball photos again.

I saw other pics of that even with Big Show & Trace Adkins...Trace was indeed in cowboy boots. Big Show dress shoes. So, Trace had close to a 0.75” footwear advantage. Also, try to ignore the cowboy hat...that gives the illusion of Trace standing 2” taller. Also...Trace’s eyes come up to Big Show’s mustache/upper lip. With the size of Big Show’s Head/face...that’s a 3.75” difference in height. Factor in the footwear advantage & Big Show is 4.5” taller than Trace. A 6’6” Trace gives you a 6’10.5” Big Show...if Trace was down to 6’5.5” then, Big Show is Bang on 6’10” there. Also, on level Flooring & equal footwear, Trace was 2.25” taller than Blake.

The photo I posted of Big Show and Adkins you could see feet, ground and stance and Show isn't closer to camera given location of feet. In yours Adkins head is bigger than an acromegalic so he is clearly closer to camera. As regards his height he looked 6'5 range with Dennis Rodman and Penn Jillette (who I met in person more than a decade ago and he looked 6'6). Adkins is older now and admits to have lost height recently. This video is from 2011 so Adkins was still in his 40s, he is wearing cowboy boots as we can see when he goes through table but when Show stands fully straight the top of Adkins head still doesn't reach Shows eyeline (and we suspect 5 inches between shows eyeline and top of his head) Click Here JT's screenshots Click Here
Just too many variables in that shot of Show and Schwartz. We don't know footwear, we can't see ground so Schwartz could be goofing around on tip-toes. Been a few years but I seem to remember Show being noticeably taller on that episode of Star Trek. Schwartz doesn't have long legs either. He has a big head for a normal guy without gigantism but with 5'8 Mamun who posted here a few years ago and seemed to have met every celeb on the planet :) Schwartz looked similar height to Kane and Sid Eudy in street clothes and we know Show still has inches on Kane in 2018.
Show has a higher eyeline than Laue in your photo suggesting he is taller.. don't let the big mop of hair fool you. Laue has buzzcut with Kareem and looks younger? Kareem in 2012 with Howard, still give Kareem 7'1 minimum up until recently Click Here
Mychal Thompson still looks 6'8 range with his son. Looks taller here in fact Click Here

@Sotiris: keep in mind that combine measurements occur in the early morning. So Klay unless he’s grown isn’t more than maybe 6’5.25. He looks similar to Draymond who Steve Kerr and Alvin Gentry (former assistant coach) called 6’5”
MCW is prob around my height 6’4.25/.3. I measure 6’4.75 an hour out of bed.
Lebron is favored with Battier

@Rising: Shaq and Robinson looked similar to me.
@Viper: 6’11” is too much for Duncan although I’d draw the line at 6’10”. 6’11 is likely a shoe height just like they say Dwyane Wade was 6’3.75 barefoot. He is not and that’s clear with Wilton Speight or Kobe or Barkley

I'm with Sotiris, way too much evidence about to suggest Show is in the 6,9" range and maybe even lower.
The only times he looks over that are (surprise surprise) when he's in his ring boots.
------------------------
Your last line isn't really true though. I mean we have photos of Show clearly the tallest member of two different college basketball teams in the 1990s where he wasn't wearing wrestling boots Click Here Click Here The latter photo we have listed heights for the players such as #34 6'8, #15 6'7, #23 6'7. If Big Show peaked at 6'9 or below then the best guesstimate for next tallest players on the Southern Illinois team (based on there being roughly 5 inches between Shows eyeline and top of his head) is #44 6'4.5, #33 6'2 and the next tallest for Wichita (a division 1 school remember) would be #32 6'4 with #15 and #23 being 6'3 range.
As mentioned before where I come from (Republic of Ireland) basketball is an ultra niche sport as gaelic football, hurling, rugby union and soccer are the four dominant team sports in order played in college. But even here there was a guy at least 6'7 who played basketball in my college. The only reason I ever even saw him was because he was dating a girl in my class. Upon leaving one evening I saw the same chap standing with a guy taller than him so we had a ~6'7 and a ~6'8 player on our college team but the second tallest player for Wichita State in 1991-92 was 6'4..no wonder they didn't reach final 4 that year :)
If you think Show peaked at 6'9 or under then you can't have Akebono at higher than 6'5-6'6 peak given the height difference between the two barefoot in 2005.
Show isn't in wrestling boots with Shaq in 2009 and looks more than 6'9 there Click Here Shaq standing with Kevin Garnett on video and I don't think anyone on here estimates KG below 6'11 Click Here

Battier af 6’6” seems too small. He was supposedly measured over 6’8” barefoot. Even if that’s a discrepancy and maybe a shoe height even early AM, he would be around 6’6.5-6’7 at a low. He doesn’t look any smaller than Lebron or TMac

@Canson I definitely had a footwear advantage in the pic w/ my bro. My shoe had a 1.25" heel and my brother looked like he had on dress shoes, so... (0.75"). In the pic with my mom I had on 1" soles, same as the one of me next to a door, I believe my mom had bigger footwear... In the pic w/ my parents, I have the same 1.25" heel... My dad had on 1" heels... When you weigh a lot, it helps to have a comfortable shoe. (I'm going to go to the gym later today in old, worn-out sneaks--where the insides have collapsed due to my weight--that give no significant boost to my height...)

@Sotiris: Blake is probably close to 6’8” (I have him a little under 6’8” actually). As far as Kevin Love, he’s 6’7” barefoot. His 6’7.75 was likely a measurement after some laying down (although it was afternoon). I say that because of how he looks with Tristan Thompson and how other people who have met him (one of which I posted on Love’s page) described him 6’7” when he met him. In addition, Dan Majerle has pegged Love at 6’7. My guess with him next to Chris Bosh and Joakim Noah in the pics I posted is that Bosh and Noah are both solid 6’10” guys and that Love is maybe 6’7.25. I’d put Lebron at about 6’6.75 barefoot. I think you have Durant and Howard close enough. Both may be 1/4” over 6’9.
Big Show is not under 6’10” I doubt. He was taller than Kevin durant in their picture. However, 6’10” flat is as tall as I would give him since Shaq had about 1.5” or so on him

@Undertaker Frank: I think it’s the other way around or they are the same height. Robinson only had Duncan by 1 or 1.5” I disagree with Sotiris about Duncan or Russell. Maybe Russell is 6’8” and change (weak 6’9) or strong 6’8” today but Duncan imho has always been 6’10” barefoot. However, I have seen where Lamarcus Aldridge looks taller so I’ll leave the door open for a hair under 6’10” honestly. But He was listed at 7’0” when he came in and was reduced to 6’11” when Robinson retired, likely not to have to play center.

Canson, it was Sotiris that estimated Howard at 6'10 not me. I was just comparing a guy he estimated 6'10 with one he estimated 6'8. I think Howard probably stands more than 6'9 flat though maybe 6'9.5 given he did look to edge out KD. Not sure what you mean by Kaman being taller when photo expands. I increased magnification 2-3 times and they still look similar.
Sotiris, slow down dude. Nobody is going to have time to open a million links in one post.
Going to try and address some of your points..ok here goes:
* Kelly Kelly/Show and your mother/you are completely different photos with different camera angles. Camera is to far left of Kelly while it's straight on in yours. The camera angle is different in the one of you and you parents on the street so you actually come out shorter in that one than the one in the store. Photos outside on the street are usually poor, your dad looks taller than 5'9 range there if you are 6'7 given top of his head comes to your mouth..but he clearly has advantage in photo as street seems to slope downward towards curb. Just one more point on this, comparing two people with two completely different people in a photo is of little value overall and certainly not ample evidence to use in height estimation.
Re: Dirk, unless you think there are ~7 inches between him and Show not sure why you keep using that photo as evidence. Again we can't see ground so we have to assume Dirk is standing on higher ground given the difference is nowhere near 7 inches in the full length shot on flat ground. Here is one of Dirk and KG standing side by side not 10 feet away Click Here We don't know KGs actual measured height though unlike Chris Kaman whom the NBA actually released his height w/o shoes on their offical website. The photo of the guy claiming 6'11 and Big Show doesn't help your case of a 6'8 Big Show given that he and Show were close in height not 2-3 inches difference!
Schwartz's waistline and crotch-area are much higher than Shows in the photo suggesting a little footwear help for Schwartz. There are lots of photos of Show and Schwartz out of gear standing next to the same people and Show being noticeably taller.
Re: Bam Adebayo. I can only find 6'9 and 6'8.75 barefoot measurements for him online. Regardless again photos have different camera angles with Show and Battier photographed likely from below. Show still comes out about an inch taller in comparison but the fact we don't have a full length shot of Show and Adebayo together we can't really compare the two properly Click Here
As regards Akebono what's your evidence that he was 6'6 peak? Sumo assocation of Japan are pretty adamant he was 203-204cm peak, not sure how accurate that is but one site did have his supposed measured height at different times from a teenager to yokozuna. The two photos of him you posted with Sapp are taken 12 years apart, one in December 2003, the other in December 2015. The latter he clearly is in bad shape physically and was admitted to hospital gravely ill just over a year later. Sapp does look 6'4 range as he had 3 inches easy on Lashley whom Rob met in person but Akebono looks taller in 2003 next to Sapp than in 2015. Show looked more than 2 inches taller than Bono in 2004-05. That shot is too far away to try and compare but JT did do this comparison Click Here Probably 5 inches between Shows eyeline and top of his head considering average is 4.5 inches Click Here
Barrett's closer to the camera there. There is zero chance that Barrett was only 3 inches shorter than Show out of gear. Barrett wasn't that much taller than Drew McIntyre (Galloway). Lots of photos and video of those two pre WWE on the UK and Irish circuit. Now McIntyre I met in person, in fact in same hotel as Show and trust me McIntyre is alot more than 3 inches shorter than Show out of wrestling gear. Again look at the basketball photo JT posted on August 10th. You are basically arguing that Barrett is/was taller than #34 John Smith who played center for a Division 1 team.
In play NBA shots are next to no value.

Just one more point on this, comparing two people with two completely different people in a photo is of little value overall and certainly not ample evidence to use in height estimation.
Re: Dirk, unless you think there are ~7 inches between him and Show not sure why you keep using that photo as evidence. Again we can't see ground so we have to assume Dirk is standing on higher ground given the difference is nowhere near 7 inches in the full length shot on flat ground. Here is one of Dirk and KG standing side by side not 10 feet away Click Here We don't know KGs actual measured height though unlike Chris Kaman whom the NBA actually released his height w/o shoes on their offical website. The photo of the guy claiming 6'11 and Big Show doesn't help your case of a 6'8 Big Show given that he and Show were close in height not 2-3 inches difference!
Schwartz's waistline and crotch-area are much higher than Shows in the photo suggesting a little footwear help for Schwartz. There are lots of photos of Show and Schwartz out of gear standing next to the same people and Show being noticeably taller.
Re: Bam Adebayo. I can only find 6'9 and 6'8.75 barefoot measurements for him online. Regardless again photos have different camera angles with Show and Battier photographed likely from below. Show still comes out about an inch taller in comparison but the fact we don't have a full length shot of Show and Adebayo together we can't really compare the two properly Click Here
As regards Akebono what's your evidence that he was 6'6 peak? Sumo assocation of Japan are pretty adamant he was 203-204cm peak, not sure how accurate that is but one site did have his supposed measured height at different times from a teenager to yokozuna. The two photos of him you posted with Sapp are taken 12 years apart, one in December 2003, the other in December 2015. The latter he clearly is in bad shape physically and was admitted to hospital gravely ill just over a year later. Sapp does look 6'4 range as he had 3 inches easy on Lashley whom Rob met in person but Akebono looks taller in 2003 next to Sapp than in 2015. Show looked more than 2 inches taller than Bono in 2004-05. That shot is too far away to try and compare but JT did do this comparison Click Here Probably 5 inches between Shows eyeline and top of his head considering average is 4.5 inches Click Here
Barrett's closer to the camera there. There is zero chance that Barrett was only 3 inches shorter than Show out of gear. Barrett wasn't that much taller than Drew McIntyre (Galloway). Lots of photos and video of those two pre WWE on the UK and Irish circuit. Now McIntyre I met in person, in fact in same hotel as Show and trust me McIntyre is alot more than 3 inches shorter than Show out of wrestling gear. Again look at the basketball photo JT posted on August 10th. You are basically arguing that Barrett is/was taller than #34 John Smith who played center for a Division 1 team.
In play NBA shots are next to no value.

@UndertakerFrank: Robinson was a bit shorter than Shaq, not taller: Click Here Click Here Click Here And Robinson never looked as tall with Duncan as Shaq did during the 2000 all-star MVP presentation: Click Here Click Here Those photos are dodgy, but look up the video and you'll see a significant difference. I can believe the 7'0" listed for Robinson during the '88 Olympics, though. Lowest I'd see him is 6'11.5" since he was taller than 6'11" Greg Oden: Click Here Anyone who doubts Oden's measurement can see he was a good 2" taller than Durant.

I'm with Sotiris, way too much evidence about to suggest Show is in the 6,9" range and maybe even lower.
The only times he looks over that are (surprise surprise) when he's in his ring boots.

@Sotiris
Sorry but after seeing your posts I have a feeling you just wanna be bigger or at least taller than the biggest guy in WWE, and thus make some absurd comments and disregard many photo evidences.
Your 6' 8.5" Big Show with 6' 6" Akebono photo wow that is the biggest 2.5" in the world. Looks a healthy 4" to me if not more.
And why not post the picture of Strowman and Big Show after Big Show loses some weight, in which Big Show looks almost 4" taller. The pictures in which Big Show wears blue, red and white. Yes I know you know these pictures exist but you choose not to post them.

….Tim Duncan measured 6'11" barefoot at the NBA predraft.
Sounds about right. Duncan has a habit of walking around with his head down but he never looked a flat 6’10” when standing erect. That’s about what Kevin Durant would measure now and duncan is taller than him.

@Rob This is me, a pic taken earlier this year (around 6'7", 275 lbs) next to my mom (5'5.5", 200 lbs) as compared to Big Show and Kelly Kelly (5'4, 5'8" in big heels at the top of this page)... Click Here Remind me again how Show is supposed to be a whopping 6'10.5". Yeah, NO WAY. Show is 6'8.5, MAX.
Here’s your reminder Click Here Click Here and Kelly Kelly could be more than 5’8” as she is wearing platforms and looks around 4 inches shorter than Vince (maybe 6’1” in shoes). Using your crack analysis, Big Show should barely have a full head size on her.
You also claimed that Mean Gene was 5’9” Click Here Amazing how your 6’8” Big Show was able to wrestle in 7 inch plus platforms… Jimmy Hart was even taller than Gene Click Here

David Robinson was listed @ 7ft 1 and he looked taller than Shaq i doubt he was 6ft 11 Big show is a good amount taller than Big Cass whos about 6ft 8 If Show most of the time wears lifts then there is a chance he can only be 6ft 8 or 6ft 9 Barefoot

@Vegas Dwight Howard is probably still 6'9" as these pics suggest:
Next to 6'9" Kevin Durant... Click Here
Next to 6'11.5" Brook Lopez... Click Here
Next to 6'10.25" Chris Bosh... Click Here
It was only when I saw this pic that I thought MAYBE Howard had grown taller:
Click Here
Trust me, Tim Duncan is 6'9", which makes Russell now--in his advanced age--around 6'8". I'm not wrong:
Click Here
Same height as 6'9" Kevin Durant... Click Here
Kevin Garnett is 6'11" next to a 6'10" Dirk Nowitzki... Click Here
Dirk next to Gasol... Click Here
I will say this... tall ppl are not always the same height at the same time every day. Trust me.

@viper Tell Jason that there's no way Big Show is as low as 6'7", but I do think he's 6'8.5" evening height (peak height was 6'9"), the same height as "Bam" Adebayo. Show and Bam looked EXACTLY the same when compared to Shane Battier (6'6" barefoot). And I do mean EXACTLY. Sorry, Rob, there's NO WAY Show is 6'10.5". ZERO CHANCE. Saying his peak height was 7 feet tall is HILARIOUS.
@Rob Here's a rarely seen Big Show in his BIG boots next to 6'5" Wade Barrett. I GUARANTEE you, if Show didn't obviously have a footwear advantage, he'd look even shorter.... 6'10.5" for Big Show...? NO, I don't think so... :) Click Here
6'5" Barrett is 6'6" in boots, 6'8.5" Big Show is 6'10.5"/6'11" in his BIG(!) boots... I know, I know you and everyone else on this forum don't see it. But trust me, I DO. No offense, but there's less than 0% chance that I'm wrong. I'd bet my life on it. If I were an attorney, the judge would rule in my favor w/o question. Again, agree to disagree, :)

@RoelC Dude, All three guys, Lamar Odom, Blake Griffin, and Kevin Love are listed as 6'10"... ALL three men are around 6'8". Odom is not a solid 6'9" as you suggest.
Here's Odom and Griffin... Click Here They're the same height.
In this pic, Griffin looks taller than Odom b/c he's closer to the camera:
Click Here
Here's 6'7.75" morning height Kevin Love next to Blake Griffin... almost the same height:
Click Here , Click Here , Click Here
Problem is, I think Kevin Love's 6'7.75" is a morning barefoot measurement when compared to 6'10.25" Chris Bosh... Click Here , Click Here so Love's daytime height might be 6'7".
Dirk Nowitzki is not 6'11" as you contend. He's 6'10" b/c 6'11" Kevin Garnett is taller than him:
Click Here
Here's 6'10" Dirk next to Big Show, who I feel is no more than 6'8.5", MAX (peak height of 6'9"). For some reason this pic didn't show up last time, so I'm reposting it:
Click Here
Hope that Show/Dirk pic shows up... Show looks like a Keebler elf next to Nowitzki.
The pic of my brother (around 6'4" 230 lbs) next to a wax statue of 6'2" Morgan Freeman didn't show up in my last post b/c I overlapped the pic w/ some text, so here it is...
Click Here as compared to him and me... (around 6'7" back when I weighed 305 lbs, 5/6 years ago)... Click Here
My current weight is actually 260 lbs (down from 275 lbs) at a low body fat percentage. Fortunately, I lost only fat and not muscle... biceps: 18" down/18.5" pumped, chest: 53". Sadly, I'll 100% gain it back in the winter. My morning barefoot height (no socks) is around 6'7.75" and now that I lost weight, I find that sometimes I can go past midnight and stay at 6'7" rather than 6'6.75". I've even been known to stay at 6'7.25" if I spend a lazy Sunday at home all day.

I have no doubt Duncan is taller than Durant. Duncan is slouching noticeably in the photos with Dirk and Kobe and that's not uncommon for him. Look at him here with Yao and Kevin Garnett: Click Here Garnett is standing in front and raising his eye level, but if you look at the top of their heads, Garnett is just the slightest bit taller. Duncan is around the lower part of Yao's eyes or just below. That could even be a 6.5" difference considering Yao's head, but it's not an 8" difference and Yao's trainer claimed he had grown to 7'5.75" without shoes by the fall of 2004. I have no idea if he's being truthful, but this photo with 7'1.25" Mutombo was taken around that time: Click Here That does look an easy 4.5" difference. David Robinson is or was close to 7'0" and while this first photo favors Duncan, these leave little doubt Duncan is at the very least 6'10": Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here

@Sotiris: Duncan is a little taller than KD and noticeably enough more than an inch over Russell. I know people who’ve met David Robinson and he’s at least 6’11” and doesn’t have Duncan by more than 1-1.5”. Duncan is a solid 6’10”. Look at him with Dirk Nowitzki. But I don’t think he’s over 6’10” either
