Should have been listed as 6'5" by NBA. Most 6'5" listed players are around Dwayne's height.

@GP: a lot of my reasoning also has to do with how he looks next to Caron Butler in pics, who I have actually met and is a legit 196cm guy (looked around that in person) Caron has 2" on him. Also with other teammates previously like Eddie Jones (who I haven't met) but appears around 195cm looking at him. You make good points and use logic but lot of the problem is that when someone is saying someone isn't as tall as advertised it's always poor pics etc that are being used. That's site wide too

@GP: it isn't bias but I didn't notice the boot. So that does make a difference. Initially I was going off what I have heard from others about Wade's height (who have met him) and the conclusion I've come to on it. Our opinions on it obviously differ

@Canson. You just proved that you're bias and for that reason you're theory is not valid one more time. The Jordan photo, you didn't do the proper research that I was saying one should do. In those AJ 10 press conference, Jordan is wearing what looks like to be boots, when Wade is wearing flats. I'm pretty sure since you have time to type this often, you can search for that also. The Haslem photo is very bad for judging heights. As you can see Wade is bending his knee with loose back and dropping his posture, when Haslem has lot better stance. So again please don't post things that only proof your theory because in reality it actually shows your bias.

@GP: what you said is correct. And Shane just said the same that you lose it in the first hour in his post. Nobody is arguing with you. However your comment that he "measured it" Is an assumption. They listed that for him as they have listed it for everyone else. Some are legitimately listed with their barefoot heights others are not. I know a scout who has told me that what Shane mentioned below does in fact happen (shoe measurement moved over to barefoot). So when Shane and I mention that it's more that Wade doesn't look that height and never has.
I am also going off two other people who are here on this site who've met him. One said himself he's under 6'3 (this guy is 6'5), and others who have seen him all over the net and said he's under 6'3 possibly. I mean Lebron and Haslem have all said he's at most 6'3 and Spoelstra said "he's 6'4" on a good day. That's not a connotation used for someone 6'3.75. It's someone smaller usually nowhere near 6'4".

Shane: you're spot on with that estimate. I lose the same my first hr between 1/4-3/8" after the first hr then another 3/8-.5 total and usually am at 3/4"-2 full cm for the day on a normal day. Your prob similar at 6'2

@Canson, in order for your theory to work then Chris Paul should be 5'11, LeBron should be around 6'6.5" and Kobe should be 6'4".
@Shane, I know that you measure taller in the morning or after nap. I have been regular on this site since 05'. You guys act that the players wake up and get measured within 15 minutes. Lot of the times the height measurement isn't the first test. They change it up every year the order of measurements. You lose most of your height in the 1st hour from waking, then it's more of a gradual loss. In the players' cases, the player could perform the vertical jump first, then another test. By the time they get their height measured could be couple hours and there are 50-60 players that go throw the pre draft measurements.
So for everyone here, I would suggest to first do your research, then take everything into consideration before you write stuff as it is a fact. In this case, the only fact we know of is that Wade was measured at 6'3.75" without shoes and 6'4.75" with shoes.

@GP: Canson's early morning measurement comments are not theory they are fact and ones you can check for yourself. Anyone who measures early in the am or even in afternoon after a nap will measure 1/2 inch minimum to over an inch taller in some cases compared to what theyd measure at night after a busy day. With these guys getting measured very early in the day, its a good bet they had lost at most 1/4 to 1/3 of an inch leaving most of the guys room to lose another 1/3 of an inch for short guys around or under 6' to up to 3/4 of another inch through the day for guys over 6'8" or 6'9" or so.

No GP the two people here on Celebheights who have seen them are 6'4.5 (Bobby3342) and KROC (6'5). KROC on more than one occasion. They actually said he's under 6'3. Now 6'2.5 and 6'3 is hard to tell but the diff between 6'2 and 6'4 or 6'3 and 6'4 isn't hard to tell. I think at 6'4-6'5 you can tell if someone is 2" taller or shorter not to mention with Wade having relatively good posture. And by the way. It isn't a fantasy if his own teammates say it. So in your case you are entitled to your beliefs but truth is neither of us have met him

Canson, your theory about early measurements isn't valid at all. What you basically saying is that the players wake up and immediately get measured and you are also assuming that they all sleep close to 8 hours. And the idea that someone saw him and he was 6'3" is naive because you're saying that the person that met him was able to determine that Wade was 6'3" or 191cm rather than 6'3.5" or 192cm. I highly doubt that by just seeing someone from afar or even few feet away that anyone can tell with conviction or be sure that the person was 0.5" or 1cm shorter from their measured height. Unless you are to get a photo with the person, like Rob does, then I think all the other ideas are just pure fantasy. Also I would mention for you to look at that same USA 08 team photo and behind Wade is Deron Williams, who is a legit 187 or 6'1.75", unless you think his measurement is wrong too. Wade is about 2 inches taller. This guy is 192cm. He might dip to 6'3.5", but that is still 192cm.

@GP: you said it perfectly that Olympic pic is a good indicator. It's not for me because most ppl want to make Kobe or whomever taller than I have him. But as for the pre drafts. It's a mixed bag some guys (definitely post 09) aren't as tall as they are listed. That's when they went to all morning (before was mixed some yrs it was others wasn't). If they're taking measurements between 6-7 am it would be 1/2" lower in the afternoon. But for this draft class 2003 I wholeheartedly agree with you having met 4 players Ford Melo Bogans Hinrich. They all look their measured heights. Which leads me to believe Wade's was altered and yep Melo does look taller than Lebron in some pics

@GP: I agree with you on Melo Kobe and maybe Lebron. But Wade people here have met (KROC) and others have said he's 6'3. He doesn't look 6'4 and he looks close in height with Kidd TBH. Kidd isn't standing straight as we can see. He wasn't measured wrong more than likely his shoe height was moved which has happened before. I've seen ppl outside of Celebheights who have met him (these guys are 6'2) and put him in the 6'2 range. I'd say at most he's a solid 6'3" and may actually be that since he prob edges Kidd out

Everyone is so obsessed with downgrading Wade's height that they just ignore the facts and just see what they wanna see. Even in one of those bottom photos with Melo and LeBron. You guys are so fixated that you can't even see that in that same photo Melo looks taller than LeBron, which is just funny. LeBron has a big head so every inch appears to be more than it is in reality. So in reality he is 3.5" taller, but it appears to be 4". The best evidence of all those guys' heights is the US team photo where you can clearly see that Wade is 192, Kobe is 195, Melo is 199 and LeBron is 201. And those silly theories that he was measured wrong are just non sense. Majority of pre-draft measurement are correct and some possibly dropping 0.25" and very little number of them will drop 0.5" and those are most likely the taller guys since they lose more height.

@Shane: you raise an excellent point with Wade's measurement getting moved. Knowing someone who works in the league that does happen. It also happened with Vince Carter and Shaq. There is a barefoot measurement for VC with no shoe measurement. His barefoot calls him 6'5.5 but looking at him on the court he doesn't look that tall. In reality he's at most 6'5" and that's according to teammates and even KROC met him and said it. Richard Jefferson described him as 6'4 1/2 (6'5 on a good day).
In addition, I have met 4 players from that 2003 draft class and they looked exactly as advertised or very close to it (no significant difference) TJ Ford, Kirk Hinrich, Carmelo Anthony, Keith Bogans. Ford looked around 5'10 as listed, Hinrich I would've thought was 6'2-6'2.5 (he looked at least 2" shorter than me) but posture or other factors such as shoes could've made the difference and he could be the 6'2.75 as listed. Carmelo looked his 6'6.25. He isn't anything under 6'6 for sure easy 1.5-2" he had over me. Keith Bogans is from VA like I am and he is the same age as I am (he played ball in MD for high school and I played against him) amongst others. We've always been similar in height to where I couldn't tell a diff just by looking at him unless we stood back to back. He has a pre draft of 6'4.25 for 2003 and 6'4.5 for 2002. One just appears to be earlier than the other. That being said I totally can see Wade's being inflated esp because he was never a point guard. Always a 2 or at best a combo but was undersized. Also like we both mentioned Lebron's pre draft we aren't sure if he measured at all. I raise the question for his because he claimed to not have measured after reaching 6'6" and because of how much shorter he looks than guys like KD and Paul George and even guys who supposedly only measured 1/2" taller like Love and Boozer. Not to mention they gave him 3/4" for his shoes lol. No guy that size in basketball shoes would get that little lol. So excellent point you made and one of the smartest I've seen on this site honestly!

@Shane: thank you!!! Finally someone else sees it. I wholeheartedly agree that is his shoe measurement as well. It almost has to be when 6'2 guys say he's their height or near them in height. Now I will say as you mentioned before too that he can prob pull off 6'3 out of bed and claim but 6'4 is high lol

I believe that Wade's shoe measurement got generously placed in his barefoot slot. No way he's 6'3"3/4 barefoot as compared to others who we know are 6'4"1/2-3/4 such as Jordan, Barkley, Stackhouse, etc... Or guys 6'3 1/2 or so like Ray Allen, etc... And not an inch plus over guys under 6'3 barefoot like John Wall. I also dont see him over 2 inches taller than 6'1" 1/2 D Rose or about that height Steph Curry.

I saw the interview with him right when he signed with Chicago this week where he and his wife (Gabrielle Union) were on. He does not look anything like a 192 guy (supposedly measured at). I'd say KROC's estimate is closer to reality than what he's listed. Lebron was onto something when he said he's at most 6'3. Maybe a 6'2 3/4 guy

@Height: 2 pics with boozer and Lebron stood out. One the pic where they all stood in single file line he looks to have about an inch the other when he stood next to him when they held their gold medals on their neck. The latter isn't conclusive because Lebron looks to lean but still looks as if boozer edges him out. How much tho tough to tell. Their are other pics tho where he looks 1/2-3/4" taller like listed on the pre drafts

@Height: 202+ looks perfect for Boozer. It's possible that they held morning measurements then and that he (esp as a taller guy) may lose the full inch and likely he would. I could see boozer as 6'8 maybe 6'8+ out of bed.

@Canson
That is a fair possibility! I don't know what picture you are referring to, but I am guessing that it is one where Boozer edges him out by an inch? I think Carlos Boozer is a 202 cm- 202.5 cm guy. With him at 202.5 cm and Lebron at 200 cm at lowest could explain that picture.

Height: that's a good pic. Maybe Wade is 6'3 flat but I wouldn't give him more than that. I did meet Melo and he looked somewhere between (min 1.5" max 2" taller than me). He could be 6'6 at his lowest it's possible but I'd go with the pre draft as he looked it at least to me. But looking at that too Melo sometimes can look taller than Lebron. Jake mentioned Lebron (he thinks) gets down to 197. Now I agree with what you said. I feel his lowest is upper 199 near 200 (6'6.5 is what adds up from the posts we've seen). But I kinda wonder esp with evidence like that one and the pic with Carlos Boozer who is around 6'7.5 most likely (I hear people describe him as 6'7 pretty often but don't think he's that low to be honest).

@Canson The problem with that picture is that Melo is not next to Wade, and it's not good to compare.
Here is a better example of them together, with very similar stance (Wade has a slightly wider stance than Melo, making him tad shorter): Click Here
Perhaps up to 8 cm difference, but no more.

@Ly: Wade definitely isn't that short. He'd be normally 190 (6'2.5-.75) and if dehydrated I can see 189. He's a cm taller than Westbrook. But Barkley is 195 (exactly his height above) at absolute most. It's possible the 6'4 5/8 was his lowest but I have friends of mine close in size with me (I'm 6'4.5) that say he is my height or close with me. I have a former boss of mine who actually is 6'3 that met him at a golf tournament along with Jordan and Pete Sampras once but unfortunately none of them at the same time. He initially had the impression that MJ was taller than CB but of course he is thinner. He said when he stood in front of both (at diff times) that he felt they were close in height and estimates both to be Over 6'4 but not 6'5 (he said they're both my height). He said more like 1.5" that both had on him. I also have a 6'2 friend who met him on a flatter surface in a restaurant and said he looked nearer 6'4 than 6'5. yes a lot of pics I see Barkley's frame is magnified. But also to many people's credit including Height's, Barkley does wear a high soled shoe.because of it I've heard some people say he's more (on this page) and I've heard during interviews with TNT when he interviews other players that he has. But I hesitate to give Barkley 6'5 or over. Too many people who have played with him have said he is 6'4 range. Including Danny ainge, Darryl Dawkins, Moses Malone, Joe Klein, and a few others say he is "almost 6'5". Most of these guys have something (someone close in height to base it on). As far as Barkley and Wade that's 2-2.5" inches in pics where they are close together. So if anything maybe 2.25 Wade 6'2.5 Barkley 6'4.75
@Ly: Wade definitely isn't that short. He'd be normally 190 (6'2.5-.75) and if dehydrated I can see 189. He's a cm taller than Westbrook. But Barkley is 195 (exactly his height above) at absolute most.

@Height
I dont know if there is a full 3 inch.Maybe 2.5 inches.I think the angles are magnifying Barkleys huge frame and maybe a fraction more footwear.Theres entirely a chance that Barkley is over 6ft5 but it seems hard to believe Dwayne being only 6ft1.75in.

I'm with KROC. He looks almost 4 full inches shorter than Carmelo does (who I've met in person and is 1.5-2" taller than me. He's as listed at 6'6.25). Lebron isn't standing straight but I believe now that he's closer to 6'7 and edges Melo out by 1cm- 1/2".

@ly He could be up to 1 cm shorter, it's a possibility. I actually see like 3 inch difference in the video, but that speaks more of Barkley's height than Wade's.

@Canson
I have to agree that perhaps Redd is on the lower end of my estimate, so maybe 194cm is more accurate. I honestly don't think he is less than 6'4.4" (194 cm flat), especially if he measured 6'4.75" 1 or 2 hours after waking up and considering that he has never seemed more than 1 cm shorter than legit 6'5"guys.
I find the picture in suits more a little more accurate than the picture in uniforms. In the picture with the unis, most players have a sort of wide stance and people like Redd, Boozer or Williams have a slightly wider stance, while other heve their head tilted down and to the side making them appear shorter. That's the reason why Redd seems about 2cms shorter than Kobe. Dwight is in front of Bosh too, so go figure about why Kidd is infront of Wade LOL.
I don't know, maybe it's hard to tell a difference of about 3 cms from a distance so if they saw him while walking. If I'm a 188cm or 189cm person and a 192 cm person walks by at an arms length or at a 1 meter distance, I would say they about my height, but that's me.
In the picture with suits Wade has at least about 2cm on Kidd from what I can see (maybe a little more).

@MD: this isn't the greatest pic but he doesn't look taller than Westbrook here. Now I'll be reasonable and sensible and say he's 1/2" taller. If anything not a significant downgrade just 1".

@Height: of course it's always possible. My guess is Redd is closer to 6'4. He looks shorter than Kobe. Maybe he was w morning measurement at 6'4.75 or rounded up to that. One reason I've gone with the 190ish is because I've seen now a few people 6'2" say he was their height and also KROC (who has been spot on with his estimates. Very spot on). Say he looked at most 6'3 and even said he has great posture. I doubt he's a flat 6'2 but more like the 190 cm (where you have Kidd). I noticed something else too that was odd. And tell me what you think. You see the Olympic pic they have him behind Kidd LOL? He's taller than Kidd at least he looks taller. Should be in front of him or maybe somehow a bad angle. I'd say maybe Kidd a 6'3 morning measurement and like 189 and Wade like 190. It's not a huge difference tho between them. Or they could be the same height

@Canson the thing about Wade being 6'2.75" is that that implies that virtual 6'5"guys like Kobe, Michael Redd or even MJ are 2+ inches (5cm-6cm) taller than him. From what I seen on pictures and videos, that is unlikely and the difference is more like 4cm max. So to me it doesn't make sense that he is under 191.5 cm.
Here yo can see him next to Michael Redd who is 194.5 cm - 195 cm (6'4.6" - 6'4.75") and clearly there is about 2cm -3cm max between them and both have very similar stance.
And next to Jason Kidd who is in the 189.5 cm - 190cm range (6'2.7"- 6'2.8") , you can see that there is about a 2cm- 3cm difference, even though Wade's stance is a little wider than Kidd's.
Click Here
So the way I see it is:
Michael Redd - 194.5 cm - 195 cm (6'4.6" - 6'4.75")
Dwyane Wade - 192 cm (6'3.5"- 6'3.6")
Jason Kidd - 189.5 cm - 190cm range (6'2.7"- 6'2.8")

With everything considered over the years, Im doubting more and more Wade was ever measured at 6'3" 3/4 barefoot. No way hes James Harden's height, for example.

Russell Westbrook is a superstar and the most athletic human on the planet. How is he not on here? Listed at 6'3.5 in shoes at 18-19 yrs old. Clearly in the 6'4 and 6'5 range in shoes. LeBron even just went on a rant about this in a interview last week. Russ when matched against Rose clearly looked 2" taller. Looks taller than 6'4 D-Wade and same height as 6'5 James Harden. Russ also looks at least 2 inches taller than all other point guards listed at 6'3. So I say a legit 6'4 and change on court for Westbrook.

Bobby: I feel your pain. I love your honesty and the fact that you know how the "height game is played". A lot of people don't see it here but some such as me Ali Baba and others do. Ali said it best "it's a lifetime of hearing oh you're 6'8 or 6'9" just because they don't know what an authentic no bs 6'6 barefoot like Ali looks like and the upgrading and basically telling you that you don't know your own height gets frustrating. someone may see a pro athlete on the street in passing and say "oh Wade's 6'4 so you must be like 6'6 when of course you know your height better than anyone else." People don't realize that the While the NBA teams and scouts may know the true height of a player in stocking feet that the public may not. Someone posted on KG's page even saying the disclaimer. They post some of the heights to tailor to the position they're playing like a combo guard PF C if the person is smaller than avg. that I know as I have a friend who is a scout who told me never to believe every measurement (some are accurate however). Gotta also love how downgrading is seen as hating on someone but upgrading is ok. I can see how the perrception of downgrading is that way but upgrading is sort of insulting if the person claims a certain height. You are 1. Telling that person you know their body better than they do; 2. That person is incompetent; 3. That person is lying. Instead it's always that person downgrades their height when In reality it's just someone being honest. Love some of the comments. "oh what about shoes oh what if he wasn't standing straight, and what if Kobe's wife measured him at night". Funny how a pre draft out of bed carries weight but if his wife measured him at night that doesn't. Also Funny how these thoughts Come into play when someone is justifying why someone shouldn't be downgraded but when upgrading another person or claiming why they shouldn't be downgraded: "oh you're comparing him to so and so. so and so is taller than they claim they edge out everyone else in that height range. That was what he was measured so that's what he is." Love how it doesn't work both ways. I've come to the conclusion just like you have that most people lie (even when they don't know they are) (or when people think a shoe measurement is standard practice). Guess that's the way it is now lol. And like u said u can't change the way you are!

Bobby: lol. Believe me I completely agree with you 100% and share your frustration. I'm Sure some of the bigger guys here like Ezioauditore Lillo T KROC Mid 190s and Ali Baba who are honest do too! Be funny to see all of us probably seperated by an inch and a half tops lol! It's frustrating because we're all being honest. I mean legit 194, 195, 196, 197, 198 guys we all are.
I'll be honest. I don't believe some of these people when they upgrade really believe it. To be fair, I feel that maybe a few (there are at least 4 or 5 who are always completely off the wall with their estimates and think people are even beyond their listed NBA or NFL heights) do it because they think it's a game we're playing and don't honestly know how tall that person is. Clueless. They don't even know for even the most obvious people that their commonly referred to height is a shoe height. But for others who believe the listing or the listing looks out of agreement with someone else's shoe listing ,they automatically upgrade.
I think a stigma here is that if we downgrade someone like u said we are diminishing them and their accomplishments. Or in other cases that they become less of a man to some people. To me the latter is insecure thinking that is probably a way of life for some of these people who get bent out of shape. Their thinking prob flows to their daily lives when it comes to themselves and wish they were taller or just want to live vicariously through these stars!
Gotta love some of the comments we see. Howard Stern's page (who you met and know is 6'5), Tim Robbins page, and conans page. The same poster for all three pages (who supposedly has 6'4 and 6'5 friends of his own) always comments that "Tall guys downgrade their height when in reality this same guy is always upgrading them even beyond their own claims. Even shorter people close to his height, he adds 2+ inches above what Rob has them listed and genuinely believes it. Then Kareem "oh taller guys downplay their height". When I hear that statement it either means that they don't really know height, don't know their own height, or lie about it. Could be a combination of each lol. Who knows? Oh well! End rant lol!!!!

Canson ,i can see how it might come of to some as a jerk. cuz when the majority of the people are calling guys like us 6'6 we get thrown in that herd whether its true or not. 85% of people call us 6'6 so it must be true right ? how can 85% of the people be wrong? We are going against what everyone else is saying, So from there perspective we are downgraders that don't believe any stars height claims(basically calling them Liars) so to the outside person they think we are making people shorter so we feel superior. when that's not the case at all. 5'10 guys have been claiming 6 feet 6'1 guys have been claimng 6'3 , 6'3 guys have been claiming 6' 5 for so long that the lie has become the truth... But I am glad that you understand my frustration.. I wish we could all meet so they could see how tall a Barefoot 195cm guy really is (not like usain bolt)lol 192cm

Bobby, no need to explain yourself. You along with others who tell the truth keep it real and keep this legit. I haven't seen much from Bob to judge him he prob just took the comment the wrong way. evrything you said is spot on! And you are very fair and one of the best posters and judges of height. At least your not like Duhon upgrading everyone to make himself believe he is taller than he is and to mask his own insecurity of not being as tall as he would desire.

Well Bob My insecurity hmm 5'4.75(164cm) Me needing to measure up to others 5'6.25(168cm) Try to remain on topic , to disagree is ok , to belittle or to name call is not, We discuss heights here, lets continue to do so.

Bob: there is nothing wrong with what Bobby said. Bobby is simply using humor and he is correct. Being his size I encounter a lot of shoe measurers who tell me "I'm this so you're this". Basically playing the height game. I am firm like he is and don't lie about my height. He is not insecure at all just telling it like it is and very very fair overall. To his credit many of these guys here are listed in shoes and esp the basketball players are even listed beyond their shoe heights. That I know as I have seen some in person myself.

Usually in NBA and other bball organizations, players heights are listed including sneakers, which is why most are listed 1"-1.5" taller than they really are. It doesn't seem to be the case here with Wade though.

You realize you are guessing, right. There is no science to your methods. You can talk about picture comparisons or walking past whatever, but unless you see the person measured yourself it's just a guess..and bobby - why so insecure, apparently you're tall, but need to measure up to others.....yikes...too bad...

AHH the weak azz 6'5 I know it to well(so do you) .Jordan , kobe, barkley, 89% of the guys listed at 6'6 on this site. The weak azz 6'5 club welcomes you! Dangelo rusell is not a member nor is james harden, Dwayne wade , or anybody listed 6'5 in the nba. You have to love Hollywood . lets face it canson most guys our height claim 6'6 or even god forbid 6'7 . which leads me to believe that joe mangiello is 6'4 flat b/f . On Dwayne wade how he got that 6'3.75 listing il never know but he does not look it. a legit b/f 6'3 sends off my tall person radar.and ill notice you. but when I walk by him I don't get that. so yeah im guessing maybe 62.5 alittle taller than westbrook

@Bobby3342: seeing Dwade next to Lebron and seeing Lebron next to taller guys who are listed closer to their actual height like Chris Bosh, and also the guys notoriously overlisted from 6'7.5ish like boozer love and Griffin, I have a hard time believing Lebron is a legit 6'7. He actually looks Similar height to Melo just like Height mentioned in his posts. I heard he really wasn't measured when he was drafted and that he refused to be measured after reaching 6'6. I'd maybe give him 6'6 and change. He never looks more than 1.5-2 solid inches taller than Kobe or Jordan and neither is a full 6'5 barefoot.

@Bobby3342: yup. You said it perfectly! A classic 6'2 guy. Would likely measure about the same as Russell Westbrook who is only 6'2 and change but always is viewed taller because the other point guards are smaller. Mitch Kupchak dwarfs him pretty badly. Too much for one to be 6'9ish and the other to be 6'3 lol. Kobe also has Russell by at least 2". I have a feeling his hair skewed that morning measurement and that he is really half inch shorter and probably around 6'2-6'2.5 at his norm. Jordan clarkson measured the same and looks half inch taller in some pics once we take into the hair on deangelo's head. In a nutshell clarkson is weak 6'3 prob 6'2.75 during the day.

And guys please show me a basketball shoe that gives you 2 inches . even with 2 pairs of socks I only get 1.25 out of my shoes. who plays ball in platforms? I don't .

Wade should be about 2 inches shorter than MJ at 6'2.88" / 6'3" (190 cm).

These pre drafts are all screwed up. I recently heard that Wade's 6'3.75 was in a low soled shoe and that they added an inch for his in shoe height. Looks legit as he doesn't look over 6'3 flat without. Vince Carter is another. He's 6'4 1/2 (6'5 on a good day). This is from a teammate. That makes sense as he is 6'5 in shoes. Ever notice how one site has him with the 6'5 1/2 in the barefoot column with no in shoe measurement while one has a bogus 6'6.75 measurement. the latter is not a legit website or very reputable

if Jordan and Kobe are strong 6'4s he's right at or right below 6'3. Lebron even said he's at most 6'3. Thinking more of 190cm like SJH says as he looks 1.5-2 inches shorter than Jordan

I give wade 6'3 flat nothing more in the afternoon. Maybe 6'3.75 out of bed or very early in the morning. He always look 4 inches shorter than lebron James. He is shorter than Michael Jordan by 2 inches in the back to back pics.

Everyone who thinks that Wade isn't 192cm, I suggest you look at photos of him with Dragic, who is a legit 190cm. You have to take into consideration that during the games some players can look shorter or taller due to camera angles, body proportions and etc. Additionally you have to be aware that lot of the basketball players don't have good postures or they care as much about their height since they are already tall. And if Wade cared about those things then he would have easily be saying that he is 6'5" and get listed at that since majority of players claim their height in shoes and get listed even higher. The lowest Wade would be is 6'3.5" which is still 192cm.

[Editor Rob: that's not really straight out of bed.]
Well he got up at 6:24 and said he was on his way to get measured at 6:30. I guess you can't really know how long he's standing waiting to be measured but it looks like he's gotta be pretty close to his high for the day.

I guess it depends on how many are going to be measured and if height was the second thing taken, in some cases you might have a bunch of them being 20-40 minutes out of bed.

He actually isn't; it really depends on his position. He's a shooting guard, so his height is pretty average for his position. It's a bit towards the lower end, but just by a bit.

So i guess you can't rule out that they actually can measure something like 0.25-0.5 inches taller than their "usual low", depending on the time of the measurement (and how much a person shrinks throughout the day, which for these tall people is more likely to be at least an inch)...

Yeah, in some of the pictures with Kobe, he looks more than just one inch shorter... Rob, how are these measurements done? Is there a chance someone gets a little overmeasured or maybe measured in the morning? Could he be more 6'3.25-6'3.5 or you completely rule it out?

Editor Rob they will be done mainly morning, not 'out of bed' but not in the evening at any rate. There could be some errors, but it seems all the barefoot and 'in sneakers' match up ok. They wear different brands so some can be 0.75, others up to 1.5 I believe.

I think it's rather his morning height,if Kobe is really 6'4.75 I don't think there is only 1" between them.
Anyways the guy is rather small among other players.Strong chance he's closer to 6'3 than 4 in my opinion.
