@Brady Narbut: no chance. He was measured 6’9” at the combine and is even shorter than Deandre Jordan who measured 6’9.75 albeit not by much. Maybe he’s 6’9.5 or .25

@Johnson: he was never 6’9” here. Rob had him 6’9.25 before now 6’9.5 so 1/4” is all. But he is either of those two marks or between more likely

His actual height without shoes is 6’10.75” because in an interview with KNBR he told them so.

I think Rob was right with 6’9.25 but this is the max he would be. He’s slightly shorter than Deandre Jordan and only 1” taller than David West who was measured 6’8.25. Assuming afternoon height for him

Guys KD didn’t not magically grow 3”. He was 6’9” pre draft and is at best what Rob lists him here today. 6’9.5. May even just be 6’9.25. People don’t grow that much at 19. Maybe half inch not 3” or even 2” prob not even an inch. Stop the foolishness lol

It’s hard to tell how tall Walton is today at that age. I doubt he was really much over 6’11” peak maybe 6’11.5. People love to exaggerate how tall people are for some reason which includes but is not limited to measuring or assessing someone’s height in shoes often to make themselves taller by inflating the other person. Or inflating another basketball player to make them taller by first inflating a Bill Walton who used his barefoot height as well. Key to remember is a lot of those centers of that era or the era following were inflated. Including Patrick Ewing who was a hair under 6’10 by his own admission and Hakeem Olajuwon who was 6’9” range as well David Robinson who was 6’11” (only about an inch taller than Duncan who is 6’10).

Durant is 6’9” range barefoot. Best case is how Rob has him listed here and 6’9.25 like he had could be even better. He was measured 6’9” when he was drafted. It’s funny how people always disregard that for one the pre drafts (not the case his year) are early AM and two that they would typically inflate vs downgrading someone. Instead someone who legitimately measured the height they did is “taller” than what he measured. And so what about the claim his 6’11 is in shoes likely the 6’10.75 he claims is his shoe height earlier in the day. If he were a legit 6’11 or near that he would be taller than Tim Duncan and he’s not he’s shorter and he would be taller than Dwight Howard and Deandre Jordan. He’s shorter than DJ at least and maybe Howard as well. They’re at best the same height. He’s not taller than Howard who is also 6’9”

@Junior: I agree with you. Durant isn’t as tall as Duncan and only about half inch on 6’8.75 serge ibaka best case 2cm and that’s if ibaka is actually that at is his low and not 6’8.5 possibly. He’s no higher than rob has him listed here

Kevin Love is not over 6'7.75" and not under 6'7.25" and Kevin Durant claim by fans to be 6'10-6'11 was a joke. Love aggregate is 6'7.5" safe zone and doesn't look over 2" shorter. Rob listed Durant at the correct height not to mention he could drop as low as 6'9.25" by evening/night.

I would say KD is 6'11", he claimed 7'0" with shoes. He's about 0.5 inches shorter than Greg Oden.

Well said Christian. Another one to add to that was Scottie Pippen when he played in Chicago was listed 6’7” back then. He may have been 6’6.5-6’7 but was a good roundup vs a shoe height. But the other guys you mentioned are close to their barefoot heights. KD may be a hair above 6’9” like rob’s original 6’9.25 or could only be classic 6’9. I think 6’9-6’9.5 is the most. That’s how he looks next to Draymond Green who is about 6’5/6’5.25. You would probably edge Green (nothing noticeable) imho or be the exact same as him on the days you come down to 6’5.25

A lot of people I know especially basketball fans and some of my friends believe Durant's underlisted by NBA and is actually 6'11". That's because they base it off on other players' offical listings which are inflated. When the truth is Durant's not underlisted. It's just that other players are overlisted. Only other guys I know in the modern era whose listings are pretty legit are Garnett, Tim Duncan and Pau Gasol. I'm sure there's more but I'm not a huge bball fan so I don't know any others.

NBA listing full of lies and even their age, weight and wingspan. Don't trust that much. Almost all players were listed an average 2" higher than their barefoot height. If Durant is really 6'10 at least get listed at 7'0 by NBA not 6'10. Kevin Love was listed at 6'10-6'11 and was under 6'8 for pre-draft measurement. I did say Durant can get a measurement by the doctor in the morning at a full 6'10 and came a bit below 6'9.5" before bed.

Duhon has a point that he can look near Durant but he is also very long for someone his height kinda like Brandon Ingram is but bigger in the body. Ingram is 6’8” as well imho. One thing is pics like that i wouldn’t always count on esp with the distance

For those that get things confused . Embiid is 7ft1.5 in shoes or rounded up 7ft2 . 7ft barefoot . All those guys are measured in shoes . Idk why embiid hasnt been upgraded to 7ft2 in shoes though . he's legit 7ft2 in shoes.

I think Embiid is a very strong 7'. Probably wakes up to 7'1", Kg is a very strong 6'11" himself and there is a noticeable height difference to the two.
Either way it's interesting how two teammates Embiid and Simmons are listed quite close to their barefoot heights, a rarity in the league.

The pic with Embiid and Durant puts Embiid 6’11” range possibly 7’0 is he’s lucky. Sorry but Durant is no higher than 6’9 and change maybe what rob has him listed meaning Embiid isn’t much more than 7’ or 6’11.5 and he doesn’t edge KG by much maybe max 1”. People don’t realize that Embiid is favored in that picture with them

Duhon is more accurate in his assessment than the last couple posters Simmons likely is around 6’9 or so like Durant is. Noel is not 6’11. He’s max 6’10. And Just because the Articles list Embiid at 7’2 doesn’t mean he is. There were articles saying Garnett was 7’2” when he played and the timber wolves (flip Saunders as well) said he was 7’2 when he isn’t. He’s 6’11. Embiid is likely 7’0” barefoot i won’t rule him growing out as he edges Simmons and Noel out as well as KG but if he were 7’2” he’d be listed that way by the NBA as remember he is a center
@greek: your assessment is closer to accurate as well then him being 208 or Embiid being 7’2 which are both very foolish

The average nose is 2inches long from eye level. durants eyes are well below embiids nose even with his 1cm shoe advantage . pls go back to the drawing boards and learn a thing or two about human body parts before making an argument on here.

@Warren: DJ still looks fractionally Taller than KD. It’s not much but when they were in line on the Olympic pic it was obvious imho. Maybe 1/4-1/2” max. I’m not denying KD isn’t over 6’9” but I doubt it’s by that much. Maybe strong 6’9” like 6’9.25-.5. He doesn’t look more than maybe 4-4.25” taller than Draymond green. I put green 6’5 maybe 6’5.25 like his coaches have said (closer to 6’5 than 6’6) along with his former GM that said draymond is the third shortest warrior. That’s also judging the difference with Shaun Livingston who looks a legit 198-199 imho

6'5 is too low for Butler. He look between 6'5.25-6'5.5" i will rule out 196.5cm lowest for Butler and other two lowest for KD 206.5cm and DeAndre 207.5cm.

@JordanTK: I don’t think Durant is quite that tall. Maybe he grew but about what Junior said maybe to 6’9.5 or 6’9.25. Do you have a source where you saw him Growing to 6’10.11?

Oh durant got taller after he drafted he's now 6ft 10.11 inches in barefoot and 6ft11.25 with shoes. Maybe 207.8xxcm ~~208.3cm in barefoot. 2m10.xxxcm in shoes. Wow it amused me that he was standing by same position(small foward) players in nba. He's height is close to slightly tall powerfowards and average center. And he also has very long wingspan.

@Junior: Thing with butler is that’s a morning height for him and looks a bit inflated with Pippen. I’d put Butler more like 6’5”. DJ 6’9.75 like when drafted KD could be what you have him but also could be what rob had him previously at 6’9.25

@Junior: sometimes pointing your head down can make you taller actually esp if your Crown is very point like Charles Barkley has. Odom I agree but would say he’s max 6’9” flat. He makes Kobe look 6’5” at times or 6’4.75. That’s a 10cm-11cm diff with him. As for Durant I think more 6’9.25 at his lowest but maybe 6’9.5 is possible if he grew. Def not 6’10 tho. Durant doesn’t look much more than 6’9 and change with draymond green either

I hardly take Draymond under 6'5 if he measure 6'5.75" in the morning pre-draft and well say if Bosh is 6'10 lowest that would put KD solid 6'9-6'9.25", maybe after all KD did not grow that much upon pre-draft measurement at 6'9 which those 6'9.75-6'10 plus guessing were just delusion from fans. I would not go under 206.5cm lowest for Durant and probably 207cm before bed a chance too.

@Junior: 6’10.25 was his listed pre draft so him being 6’10” isn’t a downplay as he could easily dip to that number in the afternoon or evening. As for KD looks right and I agree. A strong 6’9” than a weaker one or flat and is an easy 6’10 or so out of bed. Looking at him with draymond green tho he makes draymknd look 195cm at times. 6’4.75. I believed Dray is a solid 6’5” at his lowest (not noticeably taller than Kobe)

Chris Bosh who downplay claim 6'10 was atually 6'10.25-6'10.5" and look about an inch taller than KD, so how could KD even be 6'10.75" with no shoes on. It must be a joke. Btw 6'9.5" might be his lowest and 6'10.5" out of bed.

There's a picture of the big 4 of golden State standing together and durant looks about a hair over 4 inches taller than draymond and klay. So id say he's a flat 6'10" knowing that klay and draymond are a quarter under 6'6" per draftexpress.

@Johnson: that's true. I did most of mine between about 12-16 I think. I was 6'0" at 13 and was about 6'4 at 15/16. I may have grown at 18 a touch as I remember being measured for basketball senior year and told I was 6'4. Don't know if that was with change and they just didn't add it on but I was 6'4.5 freshman year college but that I maybe a morning height. i know one year or two maybe junior and or senior they measured in the afternoon as well and I was said to be 6'4.5 then as well which is what I have stuck with (likely was 6'4 3/8 and rounded up). I've been 194 range for a while most likely then may have lost a mm or two due to the disc problem I have in my back or could've been thicker hair one of the two

Most of us stop growing at 17-18. There are some people stopping at 15 as so at 18-20 can be possible but small fraction, moreover so in players, if they are developed and they have reached ready for playing elite they are already adults. Normally people who grow after 18-21 are just kids who wouldn't never reach first level in sport until they are fully developed

@Johnson: I have to agree. Embiid isn't over 7'0" maybe he grew after being drafted. Next to Ben Simmons or Nerlens Noel he isn't 4" taller than Noel maybe 3 on Simmons or 3.5.
@Christian: he mentioned he was measured after being up 18 hours at the doctor but laying down. But not to disrespect Keis but his claims are egregious. He may be that height or near it just may not be good at judging height. First he says makes up stuff. He claims Kevin Durant was measured 6'9.75. When He wasn't. Then says Embiid is 7'2" because "the sixers say he is" lol. That doesn't change the fact the NBA hasn't changed his listed height from 7'0". Then he said a teammate next to Lebron makes Lebron 6'7.75 Lebron is shorter than Thompson and Love both who measured 6'7.75 as well as boozer who also measured it. Thompson may have grown a touch but boozer I've heard people meet him say 6'7" ish "maybe" 6'8. As for listings Carmelo is listed 6'8. He's at most an inch taller than you if even that barefoot. Caron Butler is listed 6'7" he's at most your height but I'd say a touch less honestly and prob just 196 flat or 6'5/6'5.25 range. John Wall is listed 6'4 but know two people one a season ticket holder through his company at 6'3" say he's taller and another friend 6'0" say wall off the court too had him by maybe 1.5-2" when he has seen him. Not to mention wall next to beal isn't close to 6'2.75. And SJH met wall as well and said 187cm. I know people can grow but some people on this site expect that every player under 21 who is drafted have grown which is ridiculous. Most don't after 18 really. I've been my same height since I was 18 as have most people I know may have gained a tiny fraction between 18-19 at most.
Insomniak, for example, has grown a lot from 15-18 and even at 18 and may still be growing as is the case with some other posters too but that isn't common for everyone. But here some say every player grew. I can look at pics with Lebron or Westbrook or Derrick Rose or Curry and tell none of them have really grown much compared to some players such as Hinrich Butler or Anthony that I've met face to face. Russ looks his drafted height although that may even be his lowest as does Carmelo (I can't see Melo dropping under 6'6"). Rose and curry look under theirs imho but by 1/2" below. Rose not sure because they said 2008 was afternoon draft combine but Curry was a morning measurement so I can see him being 6'2" flat and only being 6'1.5 later or 6'1 7/8 and only being 6'1 3/8 or 1/2. I say all of this because the 2009 draft combine was held early morning 600 or so as the article stated

@Keis
At what time were you measured though? It's not impossible that you could've measured very early in the day, and think that you're a legit 6'8" at your lowest, and assumed Jordan to be over 6'10" because he looked 2 inches taller than you based on you being really 6'8". I'm not saying that you're not a legit 6'8", or that it's impossible that Jordan to have grown a bit since his 2008 pre draft measurement, but I strongly doubt he's 6'10" because he never looks it next to any players.

@Keis: Slam Magzaine? That is not a trustworthy site. that is a shoe height rounded up heavily there's a reason why the NBA don't list him as 7'2. He may still be 6'11. It's called marketing. At most he's 7' barefoot. A team can say what they want. Phil said Scottie was 6'9" barefoot when he played yet he is only 2-2.5" taller than Jordan and at most half inch taller than Rodman is. He's shorter than Horace grant by a couple inches too. Scottie is max 6'7". For Embiid he is 7'0 barefoot tops. They also "say" Russell Westbrook grew to 6'4/6'5 when he is still 6'2.25 like he was when drafted. Melo and Butler both have pics with him where all three look their draft heights. You can say all you want that those two grew they clearly didn't. Not only have I met both but in a pic next to Kobe neither look taller than that

@Keis: I'm not downgrading anyone. You upgrade people and make up listings. You clearly said below that Durant was measured at 6'9.75 and I just proved he wasn't. He was 6'9" flat Jordan 6'9.75. Those are their pre draft listings. And yes people can grow at 18. But it is not as common as you think.
And you're saying he's 2" taller face to face that could mean 1.75". There is virtually no difference. Looking st Jordan with Garnett he doesn't look 6'10 sorry. And Embiid being listed as 7'2"? The NBA lists its players in shoes that is common knowledge. They also list Carmelo Anthony as 6'8". He's 6'6" I've stood right in front of him and Durant is not 4" taller than he is. Nor is Lebron 2" taller than Melo it's less than 1". Caron butler is listed 6'7" but stood next to him as well and he's 6'5". I can see Embiid growing but that means 7'0" barefoot. How is he 7'2" barefoot next to Ben Simmons? Simmons is 6'8/6'9. I'm not the one downgrading players you are the one upgrading them so quit it. I can give a crap less what an announcer says Embiid is. By that they would list the Rock at 6'5" if he played. You make absolutely no sense. And ok you may be 6'8" but cannot judge height
@Keis: I'm not downgrading anyone. You upgrade people and make up listings. You clearly said below that Durant was measured at 6'9.75 and I just proved he wasn't. He was 6'9" flat Jordan 6'9.75. Those are their pre draft listings. And yes people can grow at 18. But it is not as common as you think.

@Canson I'm 6'8 barefoot and more than 6'9 in shoes I can upload paperwork proving it. And I didn't make up anything Embidd is announced as 7'2 if you ever go to 76ers games.Embidd is on no way 7 fee, I don't play but I go to lots if games because I am a huge NBA fan. And lol at pre draft measurements I was 6'7 in shoes at 18.5 now I'm 6'8 barefoot. Jordan I've actually met face to face, and even my cousin commented that he looked at least 6'10 or more and made me look small. Stop judging guys you have never met, I don't know why are you trying to downgrade these guys heights. 6'8 is not very tall to me some people are 7'8 and even taller.

@Keis: unfortunately I have to believe the pre drafts in this case over you. If it were the other way around I could but I can't take your estimates seriously. KD is not much shorter than jordan but Jordan's pre draft is 6'9.75. KD isn't over rob's listing for him and likely is less. That is exactly (at most) how jordan looks with kevin Garnett too. You have now inflated Joel Embiid Lebron Jordan And you "claimed" that KD was 6'9.75 on his Pre draft when he wasnt. He's 6'9. You make up stuff and You make some foolish claims about Embiid growing etc. he may have grown but not 3". Due to this your credibility is in question and like S.J.H said to you I have a hard time believing you are 6'8 if that's the route you are going to take. Unless you actually met KD you can't tell by looking in the stands. You would need to stand next to him or see him eye to eye.

@Canson again DeAndre is 6'10 and he is in no way taller than KD. And no KD is not 6'9 I'm 6'8 and went to multiple games last year, KD has no less than 2 inches on me. I was measured as a barefoot 6'8 on a table by doctors, and this is without me sleeping the previous night.

@anonymous: looking at KD more and more he looks no more than 207 but looks 206-207 a strong 6'9. Deandre Jordan is said to be 6'9.75 and he ever so slightly edges Durant in the Olympic photo where he is behind him. Not to mention dirk duncan etc are all taller than KD.

I'm gonna sort this out immediately.
Giannis Antetokounmpo (who should be a listing here, as he is a well known basketball player) is a legitimate 6'11" (2.11cm) guy.
He has grown almost 5 inches since his rookie year in 2013 (insane!). You can look it up for confimation.
Now, Giannis was thrilled to meet his idol KD in the 2014 All Star Game in New Orleans and when asked about him, KD, he, Giannis, said that he, KD, thought was taller. So, given the fact that both players had shoes on and having in mind Giannis' legit 6'11" height and KD's bad posture I'd say KD is a legit 6'9.75" barefoot and defo 6'10.25" to 6'10.5" on shoes.
Click Here
Pause at 7:09. Difficult angle I know. However, Giannis seems to have the edge by an inch (both players are leaning towards each other).
P.S. "Giannis" is pronounced like Yanni the composer with an "s". The "G" does not sound like in the word "geometry" but rather like the "y" in "yogurt".
I'm Greek.
P.S2. Giannis needs a listing.

Embiid looks 4-5cm taller than garnett that's i gave him 7ft .Garnet can never be 6ft9 .The guy looks like a monster everytime especially during his playing days.6ft10 minimum currently .Simmons is really 6ft8 cause he even looks wee bit shorter than 6ft8 ingram in a rookie pic.Lebron James height is all over the place.Sometimes the guy looks 6ft6 even.Suspect cause of his weight .But 7hrs outta bed hes 200cm for sure .

He's 207cm out of bed 205.5cm is his resting height .Walks about at 205cm .DJ is 2cm taller .carmelo has dropped height looks 198.5cm .Ben simmons is legit 203cm sometimes may deep to 202cm .Embiid is a 213cm .Okafor is 6ft9 flat will edge out durant .Same as howard .If you wanna be a big guy 205cm is the best .208cm is max but you wont look as elegant as a guy like durant would .196-198cm is elegant but you dont give a giant vibe.
Agree with you on Melo and your perspective on taller heights. I think 196 is about as tall as one would want because it keeps you somewhat normal in daily life not having to duck much since it puts you at 198-199 in shoes. As for Melo, I met him before and he was 1.5-2" taller than I am (According to my wife and others standing next to us). I'm 193.9 at my lowest. I would estimate him to be 6'6-6'6.25. 198.5 is perfect for him! That's a lot of why I believe many of the other measurements for players are off which many of them likely are such as Dwyane Wade and don't believe Lebron is a full inch taller than Lebron but may be wrong there (i'd put LeBron at 6'7 max maybe 6'6.75 evening height). I think Ben Simmons may be a bit taller than that. He may be 6'8.5ish but you could be right too. I can see Embiid being that max. He's 6'11 on his last measurement but may have grown 1 inch.

@feez: could look as low as 6'8.5 at times but my guess is maybe he's a full 6'9" barefoot.

The guy was 6'9" when he was nearing 17 going on 18 in 2006, and then was measured 6'9" again barefoot. He was done growing. I don't think he grew a half an inch since then. When you know the real heights of NBA players he looks 6'9".

I'm now not overly convinced that he grew being he measured 6'9" barefoot 2 years in a row leading up to his draft. This listing here is an absolute max and could also buy Rob's previous listing of 6'9.25 since he is noticeably shorter than Deandre Jordan albeit prob 1/2" max 6'9-6'9.5 while DJ 6'9.5-.75 range at his low

He is a spammer on this site. When a predraft has the person listed it's always that "that person measured that height like Lebron" or "Magic or Bird say they're their listed heights so they must be" yet he says Durant is not his pre draft height but Oden is" or Barkley is 6'6/6'7 when the man himself says 6'4.75 and the Olympics says 6'4 5/8 and every coach or teammate says he's 6'4/6'5. Or that he has met AI and he's close to 6'1 yet every teammate coach opponent says 5'10/5'11. Then of course he knows AD is really 6'9.25 pre draft but makes up that he measured 6'10.5 barefoot. Now the Undertaker is 6'8" barefoot when Ali Baba clearly is his height just about. The NBA doesn't underlist they overlist. yet nobody says anything about that. it's only a complaint when someone downgrades someone here on this site. I

AD measured 6'9.25 barefoot 6'10.25 in sneaks.
KD is shorter than Deandre Jordan and Jordan measured 6'9.75
The 6'10.75 is a shoe height for KD he's 6'9" and change tops

No offence if you're counting with shoes then Anthony Davies if 6'10.5 but he was say to be 6'9-1/4 without shoes and so Durant is under 6'10 for sure.

it's not that complicated guys............go look at a picture of him, with Anthony Davis (who was measured 6'10.5 at the combine, flat footed) and Durant is taller than. The lowest Durant can possibly be is 6'10.5. Without a doubt. He appears to be about 6'11

Seeing him play in person several years ago I'd say a soft 6'10" barefoot, 6'11" or close to 7' in shoes. He's one of those rangy thin, long-limbed guys who always gets pegged for being taller than he is. He has terrible posture so it's hard to say exactly but needless to say he's enormously tall.

@Joe: after seeing the video the 6'11" kimmel gave him may or may not be on the mark because of his long hair it's hard to tell. I'd say 6'10.5-6'11" is how it looks maybe 6'10.75 so barefoot probably 6'9.5 is more like it for him but you could also be right. But notice he did say he gets measured every year as do all players

@Joe: AD is tough to call. He was at an age where he could've grown but don't believe an entire inch. Looking at him with Boogie he doesn't look much taller than him so maybe his 6'10 is a morning measurement and he's really 6'9 and change like you said. My guess for Boogie is that he's a solid 6'9" but no more at his lowest. It's possible he was a morning measurement (likely) or that he was rounded a bit if it was a later measurement.

I believe his measurement or at least perception of it will vary from one perso. To the next depending upon what they think their true height is. If he's measured at a morning practice he's gonna be closer to 6'10 (slightly under because he will likely have been up an hour or two already) whereas afternoon may be closer to 6'9".

Everyone who watches basketball has seen this dude around centers. He was measured barefoot 6'9" at age 18. Of course he's grown at least an inch, but I'd say maybe more. Kevin Durant 6'10.25" natural. 6'11.5" in shoes/on tv.

6'9.5 tops and with contemporaries and the fact many sports heights probably aren't lowest heights this is a safe measurement for him. He may drop to 6'9.25 with a long torso like he has as well but I don't think he's a flat 6'9" normally

He was measured 6'9" without shoes at the NBA pre-draft camp in 2007 according to Draft Express. It was the same height that he was measured the year before at the Nike Hoop Summit. He was 18, nearing 19 during the pre-draft camp

Hey Rob, ;)
-Do you feel it is now time for a height upgrade for Kevin Durant?
Height Ugrade Request: ~6'10.75" = 207cm
Quotation below:
"Since I love you guys so much, I was recorded at 6'10" and three-quarters with no shoes, so with my shoes on I'm 7-feet," Durant finally revealed.
So, why has Durant been listed at 6-foot-9 for so long? "I just like messin' with people. They just ask me so much... yeah, I just like messin' with people."

I think 6'10.75 is in a sneaker and 6'9.5 barefoot. But jimmy butler lol? I don't believe he's 6'6" barefoot and never believed it. He looks 6'5 at most

@Canson Is KD around 208-209 without shoes? Because clearly his shoes make you 3-4cms taller, which make him taller than most of the centers which he stands next to.

@Warren: my pleasure! Great question!!!!!
Prior to Friday I would've said there was no windows open for Cleveland. I still feel GS wins it in 5 since they go back to the Bay Area but a worst case 6. but what you said is spot on that Lebron was in this situation last year and ran the table games 5-7!! I have noticed that games 3 and 4 Cleveland ran small (especially in game 3) and was a lot for GS to handle (they had to move draymond to the 5 which they've done a lot over the last 3 years) but with Thompson having improved and a healthy love it's a lot for he and Iggy to handle. However now you have Durant who is surprisingly a great defender this year and goes toe to toe with Lebron every day

And Kerr and gentry have both said green is 6'5 and the latter closer to 6'5@ than 6'6". For harden as mentioned before the pre draft of 6'4 just could be him at 6'3.76 and rounded up in the AM so chances are he's 191-192 as he for sure doesn't ever look a full 6'4" best to Dwight Howard either.

There is no issue with their shoes because they wear the same type and Durant was standing a little behind Deandre Jordan. Durant could be anywhere 6'9.25-9.5 but not high as 6'9.75-10 Deandre. The odd is more 1cm between them most of time. One additional is that Durant doesn't look over 6'9.5 next to 6'7.25 lebron james in fact that lebron is more like a solid 6'6.75 guy everyone being argue that and 6'5 cam newton described lebron as a 6'7 player which will put durant at 6'9.25 most. Somewhere 6'9-9.5 will be Durant real height but def like 6'10 and more out of bed

I'm not fully convinced he grew. Some think James Harden's 6'4" measurement was earlier, but Durant looks about 5" taller here in 2012: Click Here Now here's Durant at about 20 1/2 years old with Dwight Howard: Click Here Durant would be probably be the same height if he stood up straight. Howard also measured 6'9", though some have mentioned 6'9.5" for him since he came out of highschool. Durant doesn't look taller than Anthony Davis to me, who measured 6'9.25". I'm not ruling out 6'9.5" or 6'9.75", but he looks taller because current NBA big men seem to have heights more inflated than ever before, teams often don't even have a traditional big man in their best lineup now and Durant's build and massive wingspan can make him seem taller, much like Anthony Davis actually.

SJH is spot on. Deandre isn't as tall as Garnett is and it's about 1.5". The players in the NBA give him taller because that's his shoe height and they all claim theirs. Remember Durant also said Paul is 6'0" "I'm 6'11". Paul isn't 6'0" barefoot at most 5'11. Durant is probably 6'9" and change and think the 207cm is fair enough. He's about 4-4.5" taller than Draymond green and Green although a 6'5.75 pre draft is closer to 6'5 than he is 6'6" according to his coaches both former assistant Alvin gentry and Steve Kerr.

You can count on 6'9.75 deandre jordan being 6'10 before you judge durant at highest 6'10, because deandre is obviously not over 6'10 at most and look at least fraction to 1cm taller than durant. You can argue 6'9.75 for durant but i think more possible 6'9.25-9.5 is closer. Chris bosh himself claim he is 6'10 and fact that his a little taller than deandre.

@Johnson: I think he may have by maybe 1/2" maybe today he's 6'9.5 (his pre draft was 6'9" flat). Today he looks no less than 207cm imho (a hair lower than Deandre Jordan does) and about Dwight Howard's height. I think for him it's more that he received his measurement later in the day likely or was rounded down whereas a guy measured earlier at same height will appear shorter

Could be a little taller then this was 18 when officially measured by the NBA at this range. Almost always looks like the tallest guy on the court to me could be flat footed 6'10.

@Christian: some nights I'm down to 6'4.25 as well if I go to the gym and don't lay down or reclined. Not quite 7/8" tho. You said your norm if sedentary is 196.4/.5 mine is 193.9/194 (i could prob still get 194 if I tried or weren't active at all and had a slight recline as I have before). If gym it's a full inch tho 193.7 to 196.2. Essentially you're a strong 6'5, I'm a strong 6'4. Either of us could get away if we wanted to saying weak 6'6 and weak 6'5" if we desired

I'm a solid inch (2.5-.6cm) taller than you in the afternoon, but at night it's a 7/8" difference, or more specific 2.3cm. It seems as we shrink at a slightly different rate.

@Christian: that's similar to how I am actually. Other than the first hour. I usually lose a full 3/8" or close. Im typically 6'4.75 after an hour. Then 6'4 5/8ish after 2. I'm 194 some times after 7 hrs and only lose the 1mm most of the time. And end up at 193.9. My lowest after being on my feet all night is 193.1 or 193.2 somewhere in there. So for me after 5 would be a hair under 6'4.5 prob so you're right we are about an inch apart so you listing a noon 6'5.5 would mean me 6'4.5 at noon

@Canson
Not everyone shrinks at the same rate. Some people hit their normal low at noontime, others keep shrinking until a few hours before bed. Me personally, I typically wake @ 198.3 7AM and my noon height (5 hrs out of bed) is 196.7-.8 (which is closer to 6'5.5" than 6'5.25"). 8 hrs out of bed (past 3PM) is when I start to creep closer to 6'5.25".
198.3 out of bed (at times 198.1-.2)
197.6 after 1 hour
197.3 after 2 hours
197.1 flat after 3
196.9 after 4
196.7-8 after 5 (noon)
196.3 after 8
I don't drop much past this point. Only 1mm
196.2 at night (If I'm sedentary that day, I can hold 196.4-.5)
So between 5-7 hrs of waking up, I'm 196.5 on average, so that's right in the middle of 6'5.25" and 6'5.5" The lowest measured height I've ever gone was 195.4, but that was after having not slept or laid down for a couple days.

@Christian: your night and afternoon shouldn't really vary that much. Once you've been out of bed for maybe 7-8 hours you're as low as you'd normally be. Rob said himself that his low of 5'8 1/8 comes about 5-7 hrs after waking. What it may mean is that your normal low is 6'5 3/8 and 6'5.25 is an absolute low but even for you if you go out at night maybe to the bar etc and are on your feet all night you'd probably lose a full inch or more like I do. You probably in reality come down to 196 or even a hair lower for absolute low. Not sure rob really uses anything above the lowest height he assumes that is their lowest equivalent to his 5'8 1/8 whereas 5'8" flat is his absolute low I believe but he's shorter than we are so probably doesn't lose as much height

@Christian: I agree Michael Jordan is 194-195 and claims 6'6" still (in shoes rounded up). I have seen a few that do it but typically its former athletes. the 6'7" friend I mentioned was a teammate of mine In college as a matter of fact (he's 3 years older/2 years ahead) and was also my roommate. Our other roommate (my age) is an inch or inch and a half taller than I am and is actually taller than you (he's a good 197cm 6'5 5/8 or 6'5.75 probably if I had to guess and claims 6'7" to this day). Once during a reunion we had where a bunch of us met up the legit 6'7" even got on his case and said really "why do you want to be 6'7"?it sucks. I think it came up because he claimed it then they asked how tall he was and he also said 6'7". So yea some guys do that but don't see a lot really once you're above 6'5". If I were the height you are I'd claim 6'5" personally especially since you're only 1/4" over most of the time. I've just always viewed extra height at the stage we're at as pointless unless you're playing pro ball but some see it differently and I respect everyone's views. You're still a good height imho with fewer drawbacks than legit 6'6 and up have as you're probably not much over 6'6" in sneakers at your low (although morning height I can see being a bit steep in sneaks as you'd hit 6'7" with ease in jordans even after an hour).

@Christian: that's my normal night height if I don't hit the gym. Otherwise I can even get down another mm or two. 6'4 3/8 afternoon which is how I typically list myself here on the site as 6'4 3/8 (194cm). I lose most of mine in the first 5-7 hrs.
195.8-195.9 out of bed depending on day
194.8-195 after an HR
194.5-.6 after 2
Then hit 6'4.5 probably 3-4 hrs and by 5 I'm closer to 6'4 (under 4.5") than 6'5.
Usually at 7, I'm at 194 and lose 1mm more on a normal day
I claim 6'4 because I fee that's more reasonable since I spend majority of the day closer to 6'4" than 6'5. And because I have always seen the claiming higher especially with how I know height varies as silly imho. It's just a number to me. Not to mention I have taller friends one is around your height maybe a whisker taller (he's usually 196.4ish at his low) and he claims 6'5" then two taller that claim their lows of 6'6 (he's a solid 198.12 at his low I think) and a 6'7er who wakes up to 6'8" I believe and is still a hair over 6'7" at night.
For your height yours seems more progressive than mine. Do you wake at 6'6 1/8 or 6'6? If the former I can see 6'5.5 because you'd probably end up on a normal day more 6'5 3/8 then 6'5.25 and would hit the 1/4" if extra time on your feet or maybe hitting the gym. But waking to exactly 6'6" would put you at 6'5.5 after 2 hours normally. Someone our size (I say our size because I consider the range where you lose the inch to be 6'7 out of bed or higher) we lose 1/2" in 2 hours easily. Could also be how you measure meaning if you've been laying around and not as active that particular day

@Canson
I've met many tall guys who inflate their heights, not just short or medium guys. It's not uncommon for 194-195cm people to claim 6ft6, at least from my perspective. I respect you for rounding down your height. If I was in your shoes I would've claimed 6ft5, just like the majority of people. Btw, I always thought that 6'4 1/3" was your night height, not afternoon. Maybe I should start listing myself as 6'5.5" since I'm pretty much that mark in the afternoon, and Rob lists celebs based on their afternoon heights.

@Canson yes, we disagree on measurement times but as you said both are legit. As for your not lying up, we disagree there as well since you are 6'5" out of bed which is your full height before compression. And if you used shoe height like so many people do, you obviously wouldn't be lying saying 6'5" or 6'6". Always enjoy discussions with you bro.

Hi Rob. Durant has always been deemed as taller than his 6 ft 9 claim. People often thought of him as 7 feet tall. He always denied it. But earlier this year he finally admitted that he was measured 6 foot 10 and 3/4 without shoes and is 7 foot with basketball shoes. He is definitely as tall as other players who claim they are 7 feet tall.

Editor Rob sometimes height liars do double bluffs, they go low and end up going higher...I do think you can argue he can pull off 6ft 10 range the more you see of him.

@Ker: agreed and that's why I do the same as I am closer to 6'4" than 6'5. For guys who are very tall and content it is nothing in it to add an inch. I mean really. All you're doing is claiming a silly number it doesn't do anything for you as a person imho.

@Shane: the thing is tho it's not like I want to claim 6'5" or 6'6" and simply can't. Based on how you said I "could" claim 6'5 or 6'6" if I wanted. I could but I don't claim them because I don't see any value add in saying 6'5" over 6'4" at least not for me. I also have 6'5 6'6 6'7 friends who one rounds down like me from .3 range the another only gets to about .1. We all just claim what we are closest to. Imho It's a psychological thing for most but I don't buy into it. If I didn't know any better and didn't know it varied I'd prob just say 6'4 and round down and not even think twice if afternoon. Prob be the same if I measured 6'4.75 an hour out of bed I'd round up. But when it becomes why not round up it's basically implying one height is superior to another.but 6'4/6'5 are both decent heights but I don't really view 6'6" that way. That's too tall. My definition of 6'6" is 6'5.75 at someone's lowest and well over 6'6 in shoes like nearer 6'7. But I agree with Rob in his 5-7 hours (I've seen Rob say 5 whereas I've seen 7 on the net). 5 hrs for me is 194/94.1 and 7 193.9. I often say 6'4.5 for the most part but have gone to 6'4 and change because I'm closer to 6'4" than 6'5. I'm not even 6'4.5 after 4 hours on my feet usually. If I were maybe 6'4 5/8 at my lowest I'd say 6'5" possibly or just 6'4.5. 6'4.75 yes round up for sure. My other thing is I look at if a legit 6'5" at their lowest edges me it isn't worth the argument. I also look at it as I could measure the 6'4 1/3 easily and nobody is going to press me over not rounding up from 1/3". Once you're over maybe 6'2" at your lowest which I consider a true height you're really tall enough imho and don't see the need to tack on extra. In my book I use whatever height I stay at the longest during the day and that's in essence my true height. In your case tho I know you claim out of bed which is fine too. I wouldn't challenge you on it because you did measure it as well. I guess the perception varies from person to person place to place. I am I guess very practical in that adding a fraction to me has no bennies. I'm only really trying to make myself sound more impressive when I don't need to. Not playing prob ball and I am married.

I've never gotten it at least my case claiming one inch higher doesn't make or break me as a person. Really no incentive in my case. I look at it more as only really a confidence booster for people to claim higher etc. I'm not helping myself doing it otherwise

Out of bed 6'5.08 before bed 6'4.33 on a normal day if I don't lift or stand on my feet for long periods of time. As for claim I used to say 6'5" now 6'4" or 6'4.5 or 6'4 and change most of the time. I live in DC. People here lie and also shoes etc but never buy into it. I also wear casual shoes a lot so end up a hair over 6'5" (basically my morning height) on shoes by afternoon

@Canson I wish you'd stick with the inches lol I don't know what all the other stuff is.. I mean, I can look it up of course but I don't know it off top of my head to translate it all. As for you claiming 6'4", I'm not sure what part of country you are in but in Missouri nobody would think you were claiming 6'5" or 6'6" here as you have measured almost 6'5" barefoot if I read it correctly and 6'6" in shoes.

@SJH Durant is taller than Cousin, they even joked that Kevin shouldn't stand next to him because he makes Cousins look short. Also Kevin is taller than Davis, Davis just has the hair.

@Shane: my guess is you're probably close in height with Steph Curry. I'd put him around 6'2-6'2.25 out of bed and 6'1.25-.5 at his lowest. He could be within those ranges but him being in his feet late night can explain 6'1" appearances because he is more compressed. I consider true compression anything below your normal low (example anytime I drop below maybe 6'4.3 as my real low is 6'4.33-.36). But have also seen just over 6'4" before but at that junction you can tell you're compressed as your legs are much tighter and you feel the strain in the leg from the compression

@Shane: agreed. it's frustrating at taller heights because in the back of my mind i wouldn't want to be any taller than I am honestly. It's nothing if you aren't a pro athlete. If I were taller of course it's nothing I'd be able to do about it but when someone else begins inflating others just because they are insecure with their height it's an Issue. I used to also claim 6'5" when I played ball but got to the point where I look around and see I have taller friends and friends relatives close in height to where it contradicts them when they are being honest and that's the most disrespectful part imho more so than them inflating

@Canson: I'd have to double check that but if I remember correctly it's normally more like 6'1" 1/4 on a,noncompressed day at night. As for out of bed, my peak is right at 6'2" barefoot. As far as your comment on taller people not claiming taller heights, I would agree fewer people over 6'5" or so claim a taller height BUT it's certainly not a concensus on that as I've known some really tall guys do it. One final note: not everyone who claims a height above their barefoot height is lying. There are quite a lot of people in the US who claim their in-store height and don't think of that as a false height or lying.

@Shane: I guess guys a few inches shorter around your height may do that even legit 6'3" guys claim 6'5 but I don't see many guys that aren't a true 6'6" claim to be 6'6" if they aren't unless they are playing ball at some level or unless they maybe get measured early and round up or maybe a heavier guy offsetting his weight. No offense to anyone who is this height but it's not a height of really want to be honestly. I have a different perception of height in that with shoes on meaning I'd look at the persons footwear first and gauge based on how they look next to me then if a full inch footwear I'd deduct the inch to arrive at. I go off of aftetnoonish height to compare. The thing to remember is that once you surpass maybe 6'4 or 6'5 barefoot most guys don't typically lie up as much as that is getting to be too tall. I have a 6'5, 6'6, and a 6'7 friend and none of which drop below those marks most of the time and one is very strong (the 6'5) as he only comes to about where I do in the 6'4" range. I'd say once you're not coming down below maybe 6'5.5-6'6" is where it begins really because you're usually in flats or slouching since Here in the states doorways are 6'7 and 6'8. I'd say where Christian is heightwise as well as my friend mentioned are about as tall as you could be 6'5.25-.5 to where you are still able to get by in a normal pair of sneaks without much ducking because it's put you around 6'6.25-6'6.5 probably at most which is not quite as bad as it's essentially the same as a normal 6'4.75-6'5 guy in a pair of boots which you do see often

I see KD with Draymond and my guess is Draymond is really only a full 6'5" maybe 6'5.25 based on what Kerr and Gentry have said about his height. Both say he's 6'5 so my guess is he wakes up at or near 6'6" and got rounded up or given a fraction which is common in the NBA

@Shane: you said it very well my man! I am guessed as 6'6" often enough and usually 6'5" more than 6'4". Out of bed I'm like 195.8cm so you're right in some sneaks out of bed I would be probably a hair over 6'6.5 in sneaks. When I played ball in college I was listed both 6'5" then later 6'6 when they measured me barefoot at 6'4.5 or .75 then (a bit earlier in the day). I used to say I was 6'5" too when I played but at this point in my life not being a pro or college athlete even tho I am still an avid basketball and even avid fan of all sports I now claim my barefoot height of 6'4. I have lost a small fraction as I used to measure a full 196-196.1 (even saw 196.2/6'5.25 once but don't know if I measured properly that time but still came down to 194.1 that day) and always got down to just over 194 194.1-.2 at one point whereas now I'm consistently measuring 193.9 evening height now. Do you measure over 6'2" out of bed or just a flat 6'2? What do you come down to on a normal (noncompressed) day when you haven't hit the gym or on your feet late night? I've seen as low as 193.15 I believe several weeks back.

@Canson you would definitely get a 6'6" listing on most basketball teams (shoe height). Heck, measured out of bed at nba combine you could push close to 6'7" with the 1.5 inch footwear many players wear and I've seen guys your height in pro and,college with the 6'7" roster listing. As you know, I claim my out of bed barefoot height as that's my full height. Also, I sometimes claim 6'3" BUT when I do I always clarify and add "in shoes". I'm guessing it's not uncommon for you to get guessed as 6'6" by others.

Shane I agree with everything you said. I'm a strong 6'4" myself and have lost over an inch in a day being on my feet all day after going to the gym. I am about 3" taller than you that's it. Just under 6'5 1/8 out of bed and about 6'4 1/3 at night but have even seen just over 6'4 before (193.1 or .2cm). For Durant I believe he's 6'9" at his lowest and can prob be 6'10.5 out of bed

Just a general but important side note: most guys roughly 6'7" and up will lose AT LEAST an inch to compression from morning to night, especially during a game or tough back workout, for example. Some of these guys will lose closer to an inch and a half or so, especially once going past the 6'10" or 6'11" range. I myself am 6'2" barefoot out of bed, but unfortunately sometimes lose an inch or a touch over by nightfall. I wish I didn't, but I do (and I've checked with very accurate measurements many, many times). All that said, some people in the Durant height range can easily drop close to over even more than 1.5 inches from out of bed in morning to the middle of an NBA game running and jumping at night.

I think he is messing with everyone by claiming he is 7" in shoes. I even don't agree with this upgrade. Look up All-Star weekend photo from 2015 and he is shorter than Duncan who is 6'10"-6'10.25" and was listed at 6'10" in Wake Forrest. I think he could be 207cm during the day but by evening he is at 206cm. If he is 6'9.5" then DeAndre Jordan is 6'10.5" and it's a fact he was measured at 6'9.75".

I saw him relatively closely a couple years ago at a game. His true height is so hard to read. He's really skinny with a head size of a normal sized man and a small neck but he has an absolutely freakishly long torso and arms and legs. He also tends to have bad posture in non-game situations. I'd say he's a very solid 6'9", probably closer to 6'10" without shoes. With shoes probably 6'11" tall.

Durant has admitted now he is actually 6'10.75" without shoes. Is it possible he grew 1.5" since he was drafted at 19? I can believe Durant has grown since 19 (not sure about the 1.5" part) and he is actually one of the few NBA stars who insisted on being listed at his original drafted barefoot height.

He can be close to 6'11 on a good day out of bed but not holding 6'11 for sure. At most 6'10 barefoot on a good day. Usual day at most 207cm on a daily basis

He can look taller than 2'06. In the Last Olympics he looked barely shorter than DeAndré Jordan. He probably downplays his height. He could be 2'08
