@Ice: see below. Others have commented on it as well. And very funny you ask for that when you want someone to be the height it shows or taller than they are but if you were trying to make him shorter as well you wouldn't even ask for it, it'd be the case automatically.

@Kei: well how is Boozer and Love taller than Lebron? Both are. At best Lebron is 6'7.25 like listed pre draft. Only question was he really measured and is that his lowest

@Ice: if he was really measured. Lebron himself claims that he was never measured after surpassing 6'6" not to mention if that measurement wasn't at his lowest. Of course there is a chance he really is 6'7.25. I don't believe he is much of at all under 6'7".

I really can't take anyone who guesses below 6'7.25" seriously. He was measured at that height without shoes at 18. Therefore, he is AT LEAST that height. What is wrong with people?

No at 6'6 I went to school with a guy who is an amateur basketball player who's was always about two inches shorter than me. He was 6'6 our senior year, and i was like a weak 6'8 at the time, he has a picture with Lebron and Lebron has him by no less than 1.75 inches, and even on draftexpress the guy is listed at 6'6.

@Dont Know What to Claim: Lebron is "almost" always taller than Melo in pics. I agree it isn't much. But he's maybe 1/2" taller. The worst you ca argue for them is 6'6" for Melo and 6'6.5 for Lebron. Melo is definitely a full 6'6 nothing less. He looks 1.5" taller than Kobe in pics too and Lebron looks 1.5-2" on Kobe

@Kei: it wouldn't surprise me if S.J.H is taller than Lebron to be honest. S.J.H's low is 6'6.9 whereas Lebron may be 6'6.75 or possibly even a hair lower like 6'6 5/8. Like I mentioned earlier it is tough to see on TV how tall someone actually is. You would probably assume that Melo is 6'8" next to Lebron but he's tops a 6'6.25 guy and may only be a flat 6'6". He's no lower than that though. Lebron never looked as tall as Carlos Boozer or Kevin Love both of whom are 201-202

But "much taller" I would say no about that, he can't be much shorter than me. I never viewed myself as being very tall.

Idk maybe you are right. I used to work at an after school program and some kids from there met Lebron and said that they didn't think he was as tall as me, but It could be because they are kids and i'm a lot skinnier only 191 compared to his 250. I just don't think he looks any shorter than me, I was just measured at 6'8 203cm barefoot 6'9 in shoes. @ S.J.H

Andrew Wiggins skipped his pre draft. He was on Sportscenter and was as tall or shorter than Scott Van Pelt who is 6'6" Lebron by Rob's standards 5-7 hours) is 200-201. Could be as low as 6'6.75ish or could be 6'7".

Lebron is about 6'8 w/o shoes and 6'9 in shoes. If you notice he always looks much bigger than players listed at 6'8 like Andrew wiggins or Kawhi Leonard who is measured 1inch shorter than Lebron. Anything below 6'7.5 is silly

@Ker: unless you see him in person you can't tell simply looking at a picture or how he looks on TV when the camera adds 2" and 20 lbs. he never looks as tall as legit 6'8" guys on the court and barely looks any taller than Carmelo does who is only 198-199. Like he was measured. Melo looked about his draft height in person

Do you have any images of melo with lebron similar footwear? Melo was measured 6'6.25 barefoot and it looks at times melo edges LeBron. Just like the last pic I posted.
I stand by lebron being 6'5.75-6'6.
So this is three things now
1) a 6'6 claimed guy is taller than 6'6.25 measured melo so lebron is definitely not 6'6.25
2)picture with Kobe shows only 1" difference between lebron and Kobe
3)melo measures 6'6.25 barefoot and Lebron does not look taller than him.

@Dont know what to claim: that isn't all that good of a picture. In other pics Lebron edges Kobe by 2" and melo by 1/2" usually or can be anywhere from 1 up to 2cm max. Lebron claiming 6'7" barefoot is fair for him and Melo 6'6" looks accurate in person even tho he's stronger 6'6" than a guy like Bill Deblasio would be. Kobe weak 6'5 that can also claim 6'5 fairly as an act of rounding up

If the guy on the video is really 6'6 and melo is shorter than him Lebron needs a downgrade ASAP because melo and lebron are very similar in height. We are looking at Lebron potentially being 6'5.5".
More evidence
I know Kobe is ever so slightly standing in front, but it's a good picture. They are wearing the Same kit so most likely same Nike USA team shoes.
IF Kobe is 195cm I am not give Lebron anything more than 197.75cm
Also based on the pic Kobe looks like he's dropping the most height..
Rob, you listed Kobe at 195cm so what is lebrons height based on this pic??

melo is probably not 6'5 I agree. He is taller than Kobe by 1.5". But the guy is described as 6'6 and melo was comfortably shorter than him, even in basketball sneakers by at least 1". I'm going to put that down to the guy being taller than 6'6. But that is unlikely, how often do people claim less than they are?
The other option is Kobe is actually flat 6'4, melo 6'5.5 and the guy 6'6-6'6.5"

@Dont know what to claim: I have met Melo. He is at minimum a full 6'6 but looks more like 198.5 at least. Im 193.9 at my lowest and at that point last year still was 194flat. Melo had me by 1.5-2". Lebron is 200cm more likely. He looks a full inch almost shorter than love and boozer maybe 2cm and they'd be around 202cm. Kobe at 195 is more realistic. He isn't a full 6'5 more 194.75-195. CP 5'11" tops. Chandler spot on 6'11 though from pics

Next to 193.3-194cm (morning measurment) cam newton he looks 197CM...... I think he's a big 200cm guy that explains why he can give a impression of so low next to Cam, he usually looks a solid six seven though thats true, just food for thought

I'd put Majerle as at least a 196cm guy and prob strong 196, and he's taller than Barkley is and Jordan. Someone who has met majerle once said 6'5 although he calls himself 6'6. I think he exaggerated one inch taller and it's prob 2" really. But Duncan yes he's 6'10. Garnett is an inch taller so is Dirk. I think Yao maybe is 7'4 he just has a larger head than they do so the diff is less pronounced and maybe he is only 7'3.75

Yes i have wondering lebron dipping his lowest 199.5cm whenever i look at lebron i felt he would be a full cm shorter than i just like how he look 1/2cm taller than carmelo who fell in flat 198cm lowest and some full picture could strongly tell it's like a 1.5cm difference between them not quite in the 2cm zone. I'm not sure above kevin love is 6'7.5 because most of time i look at him he doesn't look a taller guy than i. Maybe love and i were exactly same height or he could be a fraction taller at most i would have go 6'7.25 for love like Dan Majerle call him 6'7 and i recently heard that blake griffin may not be 6'8.5 that's a very tall nba fans mention he was 6'5-6'6 comment from a fitness blog he have met griffin close up say he was between 6'7.5 to 6'8 max not the draftexpress given without shoes 6'8.75 and 6'8.5 rob listing.

@S.JH: I would go with 6'6.75 just like you said maybe a hair lower evening. I'd be curious to see if you and Lebron wore the same footwear who would be taller. You may edge him by a 1/2cm to full cm possibly as you are a true 200.5 whereas he may only be 199.5-200 (I'd say closer to 200 however) at night. I'd put Kevin love around 6'7.5 at his lowest. Love and Tristan Thompson are similar and I know for a fact Thompson falling 2009 or later would be an earlier measurement and love as a power forward would need the boost (I also remember Dan Majerle calling love 6'7).

Well Rob initially had Jordan 6'4.75 but someone here (a fanboy) said "oh my gosh Rob he's only the greatest athlete of all time why don't you just give him the full 6'5". Like that makes him a better player or something. Jordan in reality (at his lowest) isn't even a full 195cm. No way he is when he's guessed by more people as 6'4/6'5 than a full 6'5. A guy at a full 195 cm 6'4.77 wouldn't be guessed 6'4/6'5, he'd be 6'5 unless someone is exact on their own height and within maybe 1/2" with Jordan.hes about 6'4.5-6'4 5/8 is about It. Lebron at 200 I certainly agree with and he can be anywhere 6'6.75-6'7. Some have said he wasn't even measured for the pre draft (Kobe has a listed pr draft and he skipped his). I'd go 194.5ish for MJ 200 for James
Well Rob initially had Jordan 6'4.75 but someone here (a fanboy) said "oh my gosh Rob he's only the greatest athlete of all time why don't you just give him the full 6'5". Like that makes him a better player or something. Jordan in reality (at his lowest) isn't even a full 195cm. No way he is when he's guessed by more people as 6'4/6'5 than a full 6'5.

Pause at 1:22 atually michael jordan only look 1.5" shorter and if jordan is 6'5 then lebron james is 6'6.5 and no way above 6'6.75 and only from 1:23 to 1:26 when lebron get the advantage closer to camera look 2-2.25" taller. Jordan is more like a real 6'4.75 guy whose claiming 6'6 therefore a chance max 6'6.75 for lebron and most likely now i think he might be just a solid 6'6 plus guy since kobe bryant claim he is only 6'4.5. Another honest part with fact that kobe bryant look at most 2" shorter than lebron and sometimes they can look just 1.5" in height difference.
Click Here It looks from shoulder and top of head solid 1.5" but lebron look to drop a little more height from standing than kobe and the only way lebron james could look 6cm taller than kobe bryant is those bad camera angle and kobe with flat sneakers like those old post which posted by people who wanted to lebron james to be higher than listing and put down kobe bryant height which i feel sorry for them. I'm a person who go by math and logical sights. I can't lie to say lebron is solid or good 6'7.25 which his not

@Brad: in that pic he does but in others They almost line up to their draft measurements and Love is slightly taller. I've seen Love next to other players as well that edge him around 6'8". Derrick Williams I believe edged him or was the same height. My guess for Love is 6'7.5 (202) Lebron 6'6.75-6'7 at his lowest (200). I only went with 1/4" lower because both are likely a bit earlier in the day (based on how they appear on the court) and next to other players.

I think with the Sports industry over in the the US they love to exaggerat pretty much anything
LeBron was measured just over 6'7" as a teen when 1st drafted so there is a possibility he could have grown an inch or 2
Looks the same height as 6'7.75" barefoot Kevin Love

@Realist: no offense but that's by far the stupidest comment I have ever heard or seen on this site and pretty offensive and I am a minor toy myself. You sound like a fanboy who "wants" his favorite athlete or star to be taller than he is. His predraft measurement lists him 6'7.25. Of course there is debate as to whether he was measured but How are they downgrading him when he is listed at that in his bio? And if you look at pictures most 6'7.75 or 6'7.5 guys are taller than he is and 6'6 ones only a hair shorter. How is cam newton 2" shorter if he's 6'8 and ac was officially measured at 6'5? and what does race have to do with it? Better yet what does his race have to Do with his height and whether or not he was downgraded? They don't go hand in hand either lebron is the height or he isn't.

@Jake Even if LeBron was measured in the morning, he was measured probably at least an hour after he wake up. There is a video of Rob showing how we lost 1 entire cm in the first hour out of bed. Still, LeBron was measured as a comfortable 2' 01 m. In the the evening LeBron is (at worst) a legit 2 metres tall man. You must believe Canson, he really knows what he is talking about.

I don't know why its so hard to believe that Lebron could of got measured fresh out of bed I mean there is even video evidence of Blake Griffin waking up at 6:27 at the draft combine remember the video where Blake says "i thought i was 6'9" but i will take 6'8 3/4" 6'10" in shoes" now that would of been a very early measurement

Green got 197.5 at the combine and his assistant coach (Alvin gentry) now NO pelicans head coach said he's listed 6'7 but closer to 6'5 than 6'6". But that's still putting green 196 range even if and Lebron is noticeably taller at least 1.5" 3-4cm

@Jake: I respect your opinion but I agree with Duhon. His mother wouldn't have anything to do with his measurement esp a barefoot one. Remember that Lebron was Mature coming out of high school already and was already widely expected and known to be the first pick. Even if he were really only 6'6" it wouldn't have had an impact because he was seen as a guy who played 1-3 back then out of high school. Remember Melo was measured 6'6.25 coming out and it didn't impact his status (I have met Carmelo Anthony in person And he is a legit 198-199 guy next to me hence the 6'7" listing with shoes at Syracuse). Lebron didn't need any fudging done because he was already right for his position. I do agree tho that the numbers get fudged on occasion via a friend who was a scout. However he even has said Bron is about 6'7". Now it's debatable he was not measured for the 03 draft as he implied before when he said he was never measured once surpassing 6'6". Kobe wasn't measured. But even if that is true lebron by all accounts (next to Kevin Love or Carlos Boozer) as well as Melo, looks 6'7ish. He's 1/2"-1" taller than Melo (I'd reckon 1-2"-2cm more likely).

LeBrons mom is real bossy she has her spoilt 18year old son 6'6" max put on paper as 6'7 1/4".
That's ridiculous, Lebron "on paper" has always been listed at 6'8". Barely anyone in the general public pays attention to the pre-draft measurements. So the idea his mom would try to affect his barefoot measured height is a joke. The only height she would try to change if she wanted would be his official NBA listed height which has always been 6'8".

@Jake: I have to respectfully disagree with you on some of what you said. Lebron was already established to be to his "hometown team" the first pick and he was listed 6'7" in high school. He didn't need his mom to do a thing nor would him being only 6'6" barefoot have any impact. You realize as well Melo was measured at 6'6.25 and it didn't affect his draft status at all. I've met Melo since he's been a pro and before he became one. He was 6'5" range in high school and is a strong 6'6" as well like measured (198-199). It was on their own merit and both likely was finished growing. Now whether lebron was "actually" measured as Shane also mentioned below is a question. He claims he wasn't at one point and Kobe also has a pre draft listed when he skipped his admittedly. So he may not have measured 6'7.25 officially if he didn't. However, him measuring that would be no issue. he would likely be closer to 6'8" out of bed 202-203 and still at least 200cm at his lowest. Look at him next to Cam Newton and he's "about 2" taller. Cam called him 6'7" too. Therefore he likely doesn't drop below 6'6.5-.75 range (more likely the latter or closer to it). Now what you did mention about that happening I do agree with you that that does just not with LBJ. It's happened with a lot of other the players in the league Richard Jefferson being one (he himself admitted he's 6'6") when he is also shorter than Lebron and only maybe an inch or inch and half taller than a legit 195cm guy like Vince Carter (RJ called Vince 6'4 1/2, 6'5" on a good day).john wall looks like another and also I believe it happened with Wade as well as he doesn't look like 192cm. Looks 190 next to guys like Ray Allen or other Heat players as well as Next to Melo.

jake claiming that Lebron is no taller than 6'5" is silly. What's even funnier is that he says Lebron got his out of bed height measured by the NBA. That's impossible because the Predraft measurements always take place around noon time. While I know that noon heights aren't the lowest heights of the day, if Lebron was measured at 6'7.25" at daytime, he should be a flat 6'7" during nighttime or at worst 6'6.75".

I think it's fairly unlikely that LeBron grew after he was drafted (at most 1/4 of an inch). His physical maturation was extremely swift; he was essentially a boy in a man's body by the time he was 16. He also looks noticeably shorter than Durant (~6'9.5") and not much taller than Carmelo Anthony (6'6.25").
This listing seems accurate.

James is spot on.
@123: Personally never saw Kobe a full 6'5 bf at his low especially after he was measured, but he is without a doubt definitely weak 6'5 like James said. Rob's definition of weak is 1/3-1/4 below the mark. I'd personally call anything 194.3-194.9 (6'4.5-.75) weak 6'5 if those are later measurements because he is closer to 6'5 than he is solid 6'4. him saying he is 6'4 was less him downplaying his height or lying and more him saying "I'm not really 6'7" like he was listed when he had the Afro or even the 6'6 he was customarily listed as throughout his career. He "likely" said he's 6'5 in shoes because if he falls to that weak 6'5 zone he'd be 6'5.5-6'6 in sneaks def closer to 6'6 but not full I doubt unless in a thicker "Jordan like" sneaker".
James is spot on.
@123: Personally never saw Kobe a full 6'5 bf at his low especially after he was measured, but he is without a doubt definitely weak 6'5 like James said. Rob's definition of weak is 1/3-1/4 below the mark. I'd personally call anything 194.3-194.9 (6'4.5-.75) weak 6'5 if those are later measurements because he is closer to 6'5 than he is solid 6'4. him saying he is 6'4 was less him downplaying his height or lying and more him saying "I'm not really 6'7" like he was listed when he had the Afro or even the 6'6 he was customarily listed as throughout his career. He "likely" said he's 6'5 in shoes because if he falls to that weak 6'5 zone he'd be 6'5.5-6'6 in sneaks def closer to 6'6 but not full I doubt unless in a thicker "Jordan like" sneaker".

@123 Look at pics of Kobe with Piqué. Piqué is around 192-192.5 cm and Kobe around 195 cm more or less.

James the reason I say that is he is only a couple of inches taller than Kobe who claims six-four and six-five in shoes remember that article in 2009 now this was straight out of the horses mouth @canson I don't understand what your saying "generalizing" the word doesn't even fit in the sentance properly to make the sentace make sense imho

@123 Why do you think that? LeBron was measured without shoes and listed as 201 cm... Maybe morning height? I think most of the time LeBron is 2 metres tall, he is a legit 2 metres tall man.

@123:Kobe was generalizing to that kid when he spoke with him. He isn't by any means only a flat 6'4. Saying he isn't 6'7 like once listed that he is shorter. He's in the mid to high 6'4 range so 6'4.5-.75 range which makes him a weak 6'5. He isn't below that

@Steve5 LOL why would kobe lie about how tall he is face it kobes 6'4 so the other ball players heights should be adjusted accordingly. LeBron is NOT 6'7 he is 6'6 two inches shorter than Kobe who claims 6'4 and 6'5 in sneakers

@Steve5: we can agree Kobe isn't a flat 6'4. But if you see pics with Jamal Crawford he is the same height as him and Crawford was measured 6'4.5. Problem with this site is people here or see someone measure 192 CM and proclaim themselves 6'4 even if it were early in the morning. And outside of Celebheights anyone will claim what they measure sure they even round up. But I will give you a good example.
Christian6'5.25 (196cm) below vs me. I wake up 195.9-196, Christian wakes up 198.3 as he stated. So if I go to a doctor at 8am after waking at 7 (generally someone our size loses roughly a CM 3/8" after an hour). I'd be 6'4.75 and not think twice if I had no knowledge it varied or had never measured in the after noon. So by about noon I'm down to maybe 194.2 then 194 (6'4 3/8) by 2 or 3pm. Christian is 196.2 by 3pm 6'5.25. So Christian and I on a normal day are 7/8" apart in height but if I claim 6'5 that by deduction (to most people) would make Christian 6'6 when in reality he measured 6'5.25 and may have never measured himself in the morning or care to claim his morning height. That's how it is with Kobe. Kobe is between 6'5.25-.5 out of bed 6'4.5-.75 at night. So yes he will look 6'5 or more when someone else receives an eye opener at 6'4 like James Harden who is really 6'3.5 range in the afternoon because truthfully people nowadays believe the person who claims or is listed on a predraft at a certain height. So if Harden measured 6'4 in the AM or 6'3 7/8 then he can claim it no problem. If Kobe measured 6'4.5-.75 in the afternoon he is more than welcome to claim it as well.

@123 If Kobe says he's 6'4 once, why does that make it righter than a guy who says they're their listed height? You don't think it's possible that an NBA player could claim a lower height than they actually are?

@Joe: I agree with Christian now that ive seen more pics in that Cam's more like 195 CM. I used to think he was a legit 6'5 but That makes sense too if the measurement was done a couple hours out of bed he'd have been 6'5 flat and likely 6'5.5 out of bed.

@123: more like a legit 200 at his lowest. He honestly looks 6'7 in person from what most people (including Cam Newton) said. So he'd likely be maybe 6'6.75 at his lowest or bare min. He could lose an inch at his size very easily.

@MD: I agree that the pic with Curry is a bad call. That's an easy 3+ there. And the pic with Kobe favors him. I would've expected Cam taller than Kobe but At worst I'd say he and Kobe are the same height or that there wouldn't be much difference between them that a camera would pick up for us to detect if Kobe (who has claimed 6'4.5 and 6'4.75 both) and Cam was measured 6'5 (even if it was in the morning).

@Christian: about 230lbs and 194cm flat at my lowest (I class myself 6'4 1/2 usually or 6'4 and a little bit).
@Nick: I am not seeing what you are. Your pics put Cam at a disadvantage esp with Kobe. The camera makes Kobe look taller and bigger as it is squarely on him. I don't think you intentionally did this, but I've seen many others here on Celebheights who actually do it knowingly and use it as evidence to make someone taller. I'd say at worst Kobe is not taller than Cam and they are the same height but honesty believe Cam would edge him out as he is closer to the 6'5 mark than Kobe is. Kobe has called himself 6'4.5 and 6'4.75 before both. So between 194-195 since 195 is 6'4.77". Also, In one pic with Steph he clearly is at least 3 if not 3.5 inches taller. Even with him tilting his head he is physically taller than curry as you can see it in the shoulders and build. I'd say At worst, Cam is 6'4.75 at his lowest and Christian is on point with what he said. He will always look taller because he is longer and more muscular than others his size. On a side note My cousin has a 6'5 friend who has met Cam and in the pic they looked about identical (I couldn't see a difference but then again I don't know if the 6'5 friend is a legit 6'5 or under or over but the two looked similar so at worst I don't see him below 6'4.75.

@Christian: Melo def was that height. He certainly doesn't fall regularly below a flat 6'6" and that may be at night if even. I've also met Hinrich TJ ford and played against Keith Bogans many times. Bogans is close in height with me. Ford is 5'10, Hinrich looked to me 6'2 ranfe more than almost 6'3 but maybe bad posture or shoes. Lebron looks a hair over Melo but like a 1/2". Now don't know about Cam. They all got measured in the afternoon earlier on but Cam may have been morning in 2010. I'd say at worst he's no lower than 6'4.75 in the early evening but next to Brady whos close in height with another poster who is my height he looks taller. I can see Brady being 6'4-6'4.25 at night and Cam may appear much taller because of his build. Cam for a 6'5 guy is built similar (proportionately) as I am at 6'4. whereas Brady looks average build for a 6'4 guy from a difference.

How heavy are you? (If you don't mind me asking). Maybe between 220-250lbs I'm assuming? I'm around 210lbs, but I look rather thin for my height.

@Christian: not sure on Cam. He at least to me, looks a legit 6'5 guy. Especially when I see him next to Tom Brady and some of the other taller QBs. He called Lebron 6'7 but it could be rounding up since he calls himself 6'5 and was measured at that. But you may be right. In my honest opinion Lebron looks a weak 6'7. The pic with Cam is inconclusive. Could be 2 full inches or a weak 2 but with him next to a guy like Boozer or Love he looks shorter and he doesn't look more than maybe 1/2" taller (at most) than Carmelo Anthony does. Melo when I met him had me by 1.5-2" so he for sure isn't under 6'6 flat and likely is the full 6'6.25"
----------------------------
You're spot on with Carmello Click Here Here he was measured 6ft6.25 barefoot and 6ft7.5 with shoes (which I'm assuming took place in the PM) As for Cam, he may or may not be a legit 6ft5 (I'm still not sure) but it's safe to say he's not anything above that, because his Combine result said "6050", which means 6'5" on the dot.

If Lebeon's a couple inches (5cm) taller than Cam Newton, then he should be about 200cm, not 201cm. I personally think that Cam's 6ft4.75 (195) rather than a full 6ft5 (196) despite his combine measurment saying otherwise. I mean, he barely looks taller than 6ft4.5 (194) Colin Kaepernick. Sometimes Cam looks even a bit shorter (probably he had thinner footwear) Click Here
I'm assuming Cam was measured earlier in the day before he dropped a quarter inch.

@Christian: Truthfully, if the person measured it they measured it but to someone who measures at a later time they would be a fraction less. Maybe not 1/2" but between 1/4-1/2". Not all are measured in the AM. I read an article on Curry's page that it was definite beginning in 2009. So if a person measured at 630am or 7 am after being up a hour then yea they are shorter in the afternoon. I am uncertain on Lebron. It was said he wasn't measured. He looks a legit 6'7 imho or a weak 6'7 at worst. I've met four players from the 2003 class and they all appear close to their measured heights so I think you're right in 2003 the combine was in the afternoon or maybe late morning.

@Canson So you're saying that all NBA athletes are about half an inch shorter than their official measurements?

@Christian: the pre drafts (at least every year since 2009) have been bright and early 6am or so. Check out the article by Sportsheight on Steph Curry's page. And the Blake griffin video along with tweets with times from guys like Curry. But you're right on out of bed. The players likely lost at least 1/4-3/8" (of 3/4) before being measured. My guess someone like Curry was 6'2 pre draft height couldve measured 6'2 flat or 6'1 7/8 (there are no 1/8 increments) in the NBA. I know from a pro scout that the rounding and sometimes other tactics are done. If 1 hr out of bed he could be as low as 6'1 1/2 by the end of the day. But the order of the activities changes each year.

Yes 6'7 night may be their low or sometimes he also drops posture
6'7.25 is good listing him.

jake claiming that Lebron is no taller than 6'5" is silly. What's even funnier is that he says Lebron got his out of bed height measured by the NBA. That's impossible because the Predraft measurements always take place around noon time. While I know that noon heights aren't the lowest heights of the day, if Lebron was measured at 6'7.25" at daytime, he should be a flat 6'7" during nighttime or at worst 6'6.75".

@Joe: right. I agree he isn't anything close to 6'5 like someone said but he's likely a solid 6'7 or even a weak 6'7 at his lowest. People say he's 6'8 because of who he is

@ First of all calm down. There is a logical fallacy called argument ad hominem:

Please stop saying "you don't appear very intelligent" or disrespectful things like that. Just relax, don't take so seriously this discussion.
I didn't upgrade Bolt! There is another "James" user. By the way, I downgraded Harrison Ford. I think we will agree that Ford was never as tall as 185 cm. 184 cm at most IMO.
"do I know of any celebs that are listed "under" their real height?" Yep, that was the question. Not the "actual", but "under" their real height. For example Gareth Bale is officially listed as 6' 0'' at Real Madrid.com and I think he is a bit over that mark. Anyway, I see you responded with Kevin Durant. OK.
"Why would the NFL or NBA, especially since you are putting this on Lebron's page and the celebs you challenge me on (MJ Kobe and Lebron) downgrade one of their players? Why would they purposely under measure or underlist their players?" We are not discussing NBA official listings but Rob guesses.
Again Canson don't take it so seriously. Before responding in "angry mode" just think that this is only an interesting debate.

First of all let's just cut the crap. you are sounding dumber now with every post that you have and it is obvious you have run out of attacks that you are now just making stuff up. I'll save you from it now. But I'm curious too. Why Do you upgrade everyone? You upgraded Bolt, Kobe, and Barkley. and no I didn't downgrade Lebron, I didn't downgrade Kobe. I did downgrade Bolt because I don't genuinely believe he is 6'4 3/4 not when Kobe Barkley Jordan and Manning are all taller than he is. But no, I don't do what you do. I don't inflate someone else with the person like Bolt just to make him 6'5. You do however. You went as far as to say Kobe is 6'6 (oh please see your delicate quote below). Kobe already said hes 6'4 3/4. I mean I know you wish and fantasize every night that you could make him taller but you cant. and btw, I argued to Jake that Lebron is around 6'7. I don't see you lashing out at anyone else who does it. On every page where you accuse me of downgrading there is at least one or two people who guess them lower than me. That's right lower than the 1/4-1/2 I knocked off someone like MJ. But nope. You don't say anything to them. Didnt hear you say anything to Jake below or to Alex or anyone else who listed Kobe or Jordan at 193. And Btw, I didn't downgrade Kobe. 6'4.75 that Rob has him listed is 194.945cm, it isn't a full 195. I did say hes between 194 and 195 right? I mean you tell me? Not everyone has to "round" numbers up like you do just to make someone taller. But Obviously its because you don't appear very intelligent. I mean You repeat the same things over and over with no basis or substance. You mock people with nothing to mock them for. You simply make a fool out of yourself as Height pointed out what I said. You sound like a broken record. You cant read or comprehend what you read. You can't convert cm. It's looking more and more that you are now just attacking me because you keep getting called out. Next time don't start something you can't finish. If you want to argue a point, that is fine, argue it. I mean you claim Kobe isn't what Rob has him listed, if you believe that it is fine. What is the difference between making someone a cm taller vs 0.5 cm shorter (at max)? There is none either way the man claimed 6'4 1/2 and 6'4 3/4 so I think his word means more than your fantasy for him. and btw Kevin Durant, I upgraded as a matter of fact and said 6'9.5 and KG said he was 6'11, Shaq 7' as Rob lists him as well. So no I don't downgrade every celeb. Quit exaggerating things just to try to belittle people and to cover up your own flaws. you do realize that every time that you attack me you end up looking like the stupid fool you are. Nothing you say is ever valid, it is exaggerated and you call downgrading someone 1/4-1/2 downgrading? No it is simply an opinion. Why are you so fascinated with upgrading people? Do you fantasize about Kobe Bryant at night wishing he were truly 196 CM or 198 CM? of course you upgrade Barkley and say hes 6'7 in shoes and that he "downplays" his height. Every teammate of his pegs him at 6'4 and now there is proof showing Kobe is taller than he is so no he isn't 6'7 in shoes. So enough of the crap unless you want to continue just making "false" "inaccurate" "exaggerated" blanket statements that you make just to make yourself feel valued and important.

Bolt can be a full 6'5" and still an inch to inch and a half shorter than Charles Barkley. Barkley is 6'7" in b-ball shoes. As I have said many times, Chuck purposefully lowers his stated height to heighten his rebounding accomplishments! I think the picture of Bolt with Kobe looks dead on. 6'5" and 6'6" respectfully. Has anyone seen Bolt dunk? He does it with absolute EASE!
Funny how you now said Kobe may even be 194.5 at his lowest and were saying 196 before. Let's stick with 604.75 (194.945)
@jake: that's the notion that people have on this site that when someone downgrades them that that person is a hater. Not true at all.

canson I'm still not convinced sorry I just think very tall people would lose more height than just a inch, I think for sure LeBron dips below 6'6 and he was given a fresh out of bed measurement of 6'7 1/4 , 6'5 3/4 though mid afternoon onwards 6'5 1/2 in dead of night. LeBron six-five range. And most importantly to me he look it

I agree with Height. He may have been the 260 in Miami but he was noticeably bigger then. They showed before and after of him when he returned to Cleveland. Maybe additional muscle would put him at 250 (that's what they estimated him when he lost the weight or 245 to be more specific). But 260 or even 270 is Karl Malone territory or Anthony mason like Height said. He looks more along the lines of Melo who is prob 240 himself

@jake @Canson it's a possibility that he is 260, but then again you see someone like Kobe listed at 205 when he really is in the 210s or MJ still being listed at 198 in 92 and 93 when he was more 210, for example. Lebron being listed at 260 sounds more to add to his myth of "he's a beast". To me, 260 at that size is more in the Larry Johnson (Post 1996) / Anthony Mason body department. Lebron, especially the past 2 or 3 seasons has slimmed down and doesn't look massive, maybe more like 240 max like Canson said.

Lebron may actually be near or at a full 6'7 taking into account he's leaning in the Olympic pic. Kidd is also leaning and the diff with Wade is more pronounced than it really is.
Howard: 206 cm
Bosh: 210 cm (he is taller than Howard in reality)
Prince: 203cm
Boozer: 202cm
Lebron:200-200.5
Melo: 198.8
Kobe: 194.5-195
Redd: 193-194

@Height: he was said to be as much as 260-270 in Miami. I can see maybe 260 at 6'7 but not 270. He and MWP both supposedly were that high and MWP being about an inch and a half shorter you can see it on but not him. If I had to guess he's really in the 240s (same as he was when he came in maybe slightly toward the top) just with more muscle and reduced fat

i think he'd measure 202+ out of bed with ease. Prob 6'7.5-.75 and would drop to 6'6.5-.75 at his size. He has a relatively good sized torso as well and isn't all legs like some of the other 6'7 guys

At 18 he was no more than 6% body fat max he used to be cut as f**ck, and don't forget fat weighs less than muscle.......

I'm very skeptical of Lebron's pre-draft measurements. He supposedly weighed in at 245 pounds, 5 pounds heavier than Dwight Howard and only 3 pounds lighter than Blake Griffin. I can't fathom how he weighed that much at 18, when he looked thin compared to his current self, who weighs about 250 (not the ridiculous 6'9'', 270 that you'll hear sometimes).
Either way, I think he's in the 6'7'' to 6'7.5'' range several hours after he wakes up. 6'7.25'' seems to be the most reasonable estimate.

@Jake: the million dollar question is was he measured at all? Sure he could've been it's possible. But is he shorter than or the same height as Carmelo Anthony is the other. I can see Melo dropping to 6'5.75 only on a day where he has "severely compressed" and has weight lifted. I have met him and he looked (a rarity based on what I've seen) his height he's listed in his pre draft. It's possible Lebron isn't the strong 6'7 in reality and I can believe it but 6'5.75 on a daily basis is way too small. At least in my eyes. You're entitled to your opinion of course. He'd be Reggie millers size and he's taller than Reggie

@Shane: you make a really strong point there and I like your response. That is true that you at least claim barefoot not shoes. In a pinch someone may think 6'2 is a shoe height but that's the norm in the US. Wasn't disagreeing 100%. Was just saying that if one appears taller

Sorry for all the typos. Another thought came to mind: 98% of the general public would likely not even consider whether it was someones morning height or average height and they have probably never even heard of the terms. Most people dont even know are heights differ dueing the course of a day. Those of us here are the exception in terms of putting this much thought and scrutiny into this topic.

@Jake: the morning height argument that's made, I don't know how I would class that. What's your view?I've always viewed it as you come out where you should at the end of the day but Shane has a point as far as you "could" measure it but I look at it from a standpoint of let's say two people wake up two different body types. One wakes at 6'7.75 let's say and the other 6'7 but both end at 6'6.25 for the day. I'd say they're both same height. Shane, what's your view on that specifically and when I mention this I'm talking their height without compression meaning what you would normally see in the mid to late afternoon before serious compression kicks in from being on feet etc. i mean, It's a logical point you made and that's something that has stood out more to me when you compare people your own height to you (assuming they aren't claiming shoes). I'll see some "6'4" guys that are maybe 1/2" or less shorter than me as they should be but then I see some where they (from my eyes at least) must get measured an hour after they wake up and often get rounded to 6'4" by a doctor nurse etc because they look 6'3 maybe 6'3 and a hair at the end of the day. The go to with them is always 6'3 and 3/4". My cousin is a prime example of this as he measured something like 6'1 5/8 (he was military and they measured him in the AM) and he calls himself 6'2 all the time but never looks it always looks 6'1 next to me and even his "legit 6'2.5" brother. What's your view? I guess technically nobody is wrong really

@Canson I dont agree that morning height people would lose a,lot of arguments. For one, so many people are used to hearing people claim shoe heights theyd likely assume the 6'2 height was barefoot or at worst an accurate in shoe height. Either way we are nitpicking to a large degree. I mean, so many in the US claim and in shoe height the barefoot only people should be thrilled if people will use any barefoot height as their gauge -- it is afterall an absolutely real, honest height even if its not the time of day a few people on here prefer (with compression when not rull height rather than checking a person full height.) By the way, I'm 6'2 barefoot and have never been guessed less than that but many times have been guessed higher even though ive typically claimed my 6'3 shoe height (but i normally specify to people and let them know if im talking with or without shoe height). Hey, i played high school and college sports and got used to the shoe heights,so sue me :)

ok ok canson but lebron dips below 6'6 in the late afternoon and also i think he would of got measured straight out of bed because of his status he had coming in the draft being prophesied as the next michael jordan you got to be kidding me no #1 draft pick who else had that same status in that draft he even got that nike contract for millions when he was still in high school! that he spent on a hummer so yeah the most important people in the draft could get measured first lebrons agent pulled some strings he proberly did sleep in the same room as measurements were held LOL. btw i'm not a lebron hater at all he has naturally broad shoulders (wide clavicles) so that contributes to his impressive wingspan/standing and reach

@Height: I have to agree with you on the CM being the better vehicle esp when comparing two guys perhaps a Melo and a Lebron, who are close in height. I'd give Melo the 198.8 and Lebron maybe 199.5-.8. At times Lebron can appear to have a bit on him- near the inch other times he is the same or not noticeably taller.

I love some of the comments I see below especially by fanboys like Lebron6. Love it how "we can't see their shoes". Lol. Why is it that when it comes to making someone taller than they are or someone wants them to be taller shoes all of a sudden become important? It's the same across all these pages. When someone mentions "oh what if he measured at night or we can't see their shoes, etc" I seriously think those people have insecurity issues with their own height or they are so infatuated with a player that they will lose sleep because their "idol" or "Sign other" isn't the height they want them to be. It's ridiculous. What does an inch matter for anyone even a basketball player? Doesn't make them a better player as we've seen

@Jake: fair enough and you are certainly entitled to your opinion. But logic is what I'm saying. One thing I will say over all my years is that I have many basketball players I have met and only a few line up to their pre draft measurements. I've seen some where it's way off (shoe measurement put in under wrong column) and others that are simply morning measurements and 1/2" off, so believe me I'm not advocating someone being taller than they really are. But we also have to use common sense here! Lebron was supposedly never measured at all (like I mentioned below). The verdict is out on that. He said he wasn't measured after he surpassed 6'6. Two, he wouldn't lose 1.5" by afternoon. That's when he'd go to bed. If he is abnormally built maybe he'd be 6'6.25 if he was really 6'7.25 out of bed in the afternoon. Three,does he not look significantly taller than draymond green? Let's say green is a morning measurement, worst and I mean absolute worst case scenario is he is 6'5 flat (Alvin gentry did say he's closer to 6'5 than 6'6 so my guess is he is 6'5.25 in the afternoon and 6'6 out of bed which is the norm for someone his size but let's call him 6'5 flat). Lebron is easily at least an inch and a half but my money is 4-5 cm. meaning Lebron has to be near 6'7. At worst he's a very very strong 6'6 like darn near 200 cm (199.5 at his lowest). #3 how does he (still) at the end of the day look a good 2" taller than someone like Vince Carter or Kobe? May even be a full 5 cm as both those guys are 194 range (under 195). And the latter (i guarantee) don't lose an inch and a half. They're my height. Same build etc. I wake to 196 and am 194-194.1 at night. Usually .75-.8 loss. That's prob around the same for both of them maybe give or take 0.5 cm. meaning they may drop to 6'4.5-625. Also, if Lebron was measured when he woke up, it would mean he slept in the room where they hold the measurements. I doubt that's his out of bed. At least 1/4" more he'd be at least 6'7.5

canson I'm still not convinced sorry I just think very tall people would lose more height than just a inch, I think for sure LeBron dips below 6'6 and he was given a fresh out of bed measurement of 6'7 1/4 , 6'5 3/4 though mid afternoon onwards 6'5 1/2 in dead of night. LeBron six-five range. And most importantly to me he look it

@Jake: if you look at him next to Carmelo Anthony there is no way that Lebron would be 197cm. I've met Melo in person. If he isn't a full 6'6.25 like listed he is for sure at least a solid 6'6. He had me (Im generally 6'4 3/8 at my lowest) by a good inch and a half Maybe 2" (of course I didn't see footwear but at worst he is 6'6" flat and he isn't taller than Lebron I doubt).

@Jake: guys Lebron's size don't lose that kind of height. I have 6'7 friends and 6'6. They lose marginally more than me (I lose 3/4 they lose an inch). My 6'7 friend is 6'7 3/4-6'7 7/8 in the morning and is 6'6 3/4-7/8 at night. The 6'6 friend is 6'6 3/4 morning and sometimes still Pretty darn close to 6'6 flat at night at worst maybe 6'5.75 if something out of the blue is the absolute lowest I've heard him measure where as I've lost 1.15" on one occasion after lifting and being on my feet and was practically right at 6'4 flat. But for Lebron, someone here mentioned they met him and that he was slightly shorter in the evening (the poster said at night he's 6'7 flat) meaning Lebron may come down to 6'6.5. But the pre drafts are never "right out of bed". I'd guess close to 1/4" (at least 1/8") is already lost and that would be one of the first guys to measure. So if we knock 1/4 off I'd give Lebron at least 202 out of bed. Minimum. Whether 6'7.5 or 6'7.75 (also possible) and he comes down to 6'6.5-6'6.75 (between 199-200). No way he is 6'5.75 (that's the same height as Wes Unseld or Reggie Miller would be normally) and only slightly taller than Metta world peace. He has Metta by an inch maybe 1.5"

@Jake: either way Shane has a point. Lebron wouldn't measure that low. I'd be willing to say he's even earlier in the day a legit 202 at least and prob 199-200 at his absolute lowest.

@Shane the only issue is when you have one claiming their norm the other claiming their "inflated" height who wins the argument? IMHO if I didn't know any better and had never visited this website I wouldn't really know as much. So if I'm 6'4.5 like I am and a 6'2 guy claims 6'3 then I'd call him on it (I'd call him on it even knowing what I know). Now 1/2" yes I can see but one inch is bs. The one claiming the out of bed height would lose the argument 10 times out of 10 especially if the other person is someone who doesn't lie about their height

Height made a good point about Lebron looking smaller next to some guys which is why he can look under 6'7. This Dream Team pic below is weird tho because he looks barely taller than Melo not enough for an inch but looks a half inch to 3/4 shorter than 6'7.75 boozer. I think 6'7 flat may be the compromise

Jake: i think the category you're referring to is 6'9-6'10 and above. That's more gigantic. You know. The guys who are 6'11 or 7'0 to the general public because of all the height frauding and perception. Those guys lose the 1 1/2". A guy 6'6-6'8 would prob lose an inch regularly and maybe 1.5" at an extreme low meaning on the grind. Now body type could play a factor. As an experiment once I went to the gym wasn't hydrated much and stayed out late on my feet past midnight.

I saw other pics similar to what Duhon posted with Cam and Lebron. That is actually close to 2". At first you can't tell because Cam's head is tilted up but others it looks near 2" at absolute worst 1.5". It's hard to tell because Lebron's forehead is so big. But Cam's exactly 6'5 according to his draft bio so Lebron has to be very close to 6'7 if not a full on. Only uncertainty is whether Lebron was actually measured. If he was 6'7.25 it could have been earlier measurement than Cam received which could cover the difference if not a full 2

@Shane: I totally agree with you. What also throws it off are other "potentially" unmeasured players that we may be comparing him to. But I will say if he wasn't measured the NBA did a great job because he looks near 6'7 to most at worst a very strong 6'6"

To me everything is better settled in cms.
I know for a fact that anyone from 200 cm to 202 cm can be called 6'7", but I also reckon that anyone from 198 cm to 200 cm can be called 6'6.5". These are two examples of how opinion varies from one coach/scout/teammate/author/journalist to another.
6'6.75" and 6'7" at the end of the day is still inside 200 cm

Good points Canson... if he was indeed measured then we have a,very good idea of his height or height range. If not - or until we know for sure either way - the speculation will continue.

as I was saying extremely tall people lose more height its typical of a man LeBrons height to lose a good one and a half inches throughout the day, LeBron measured 6'7 1/4 fresh out of bed, so his real height is 6'5 3/4, LeBron is six-five range 197cm. LOL @ Shane saying your height fresh out of bed is real height when you can only mantain that for five minutes out of the whole day!

Question is was he really measured at the pre draft? If he was I can buy it. He Just may not look it to some people if it was an early morning esp if others comparing weren't measured as early as he was. But He also said once he hit 6'6 he wasn't again and with Kevin Love and Carlos Boozer he is a good inch shorter esp with the latter. Remember Kobe also has a pre draft measurement in the books and he skipped his. But I think it's fair to say hes well over 6'6 flat (RJ admitted he's 6'6 and LBJ is taller and LBJ is at least as tall as Melo but usually averages a cm more in pics maybe 1/2". At times he can honestly look a full 6'7 but others he can look a bit lower but high enough to where he rounding is appropriate enough. I mean even if he's an average or a low of 6'6.75 most people aren't going to argue that he can't claim 6'7. To be honest he prob would be closer to 6'7 than 6'6 even if he is below it

He measured at 6'7.25" barefoot as an 18 year old. It's ridiculous the posts trying to say he is under 6'7" now.

He's the same height he was when he was 18. He was a grown man at that age, he was always an early maturer. But he hasn't shrunk! 6'7.25" is his height, and probably will be for at least the next 2 decades.

@Jake... no, if he was measured 6'7" 1/4 barefoot then it counts as 6'7" 1/4. Thats his true max real height. Saying that isnt legit is ridiculous. If one can measure it without shoes its absolutely legitimate.

@Height... thanks... I would not be surprised if it indeed was the case that LeBron was not actually measured at predraft canp and the 6'7" 1/4 was essentially made up. As you said, he looks shorter than that in several photos with Magic. The Team USA photo looks well done and on an even plane, etc with nobody in front of another and he looks Carmelo's height there. Furthermore, he looks to give up more than 3 inches in a plethora of photos with Durant, especially in the one poolside where James has a very clear footwear advantage and still looks several inches shorter.

LeBron was also measured at 6'7.25" as an 18 year old. He looks to have grown to near a barefoot 6'8" since that time. LeBron never looks like a "weak" 6'7" next to almost anyone.

lebron was measures at 6'7 1/4 which would of been fresh out of bed as is the case with basketball players drafted, extremely tall people can easily
loose one and a half inches throughout the day ergo lebron is 6'5 3/4 before bed ergo lebron his real height is 6'6 FLAT no more. six-six is 198cm

@Shane I think people have those theories because Lebron tends to look a little shorter next to guys that are in the 6'7.25" - 6'7.5" (201cm-202 cm) range like Magic or Pippen.
I have come to know that he stopped measuring himself when he reached a legit 6'6" (the listed height of his childhood idol, MJ), and this was when he was about 17. Add to this the fact that he doesn't look 1 inch taller than Carmelo Anthony who was measured at 6'6.25" and that I guess leads to the theories under 6'7".
My guess is Lebron looks from 0.5" to 0.75" taller than Carmelo. At first I had him at 6'6.5" (199.5 cm), but now I think he is a tad taller at 200 cm or even at 200.7 cm since he genuinely looks like 5cm taller that Dreymond Green who is about 197cm (about 6'5.5"). Anywhere from 6'6.75"to 6'7" (200 cm to 200.7 cm) suits Lebron better than 6'7.25" in my opinion.

The posts saying LeBron is below 6'7" 1/4 are silly. He was measured at 6'7" 1/4 and he obviously hasnt had age related height loss at this point in his life. Whatever height he can obtain - whatever the time of day - is legit. Thats his full height. Calling that inaccurate is ridiculous if he can legit measure it.

There are images from a few years ago with Big Show and Lebron (you can google). I'd say Show was about 3 inches taller than Lebron at the time. So Lebron I feel probably is between 6'7.25" and 6'7.75", and Show 6'10.5" - 6'11".

He is a strong 6-6 guy, shorter than Magic Johnson who is 6-7 1/4 or 6-7 1/2.
He stopped measuring himself when he reached a legit 6-6 back in high school. He most probably grew a little more after that.
So 6-6 1/2 or 6-6 3/4 at the most for Lebron.

Draymond's height isn't a secret of anything; he was measured at the combined at 6' 5.75" no shoes. Apropos of little, I met him last year. Didn't pay too much attention to his height aside from the fact that he's a big guy - small for his position, but among any kind of regular folk a fairly imposing guy.

Interesting comment from Chris Webber during the Cavs-Warriors game: "Draymond Green is 6-7, on record, which probably means he's six-five and a half in real life the way basketball players usuaslly add an inch and a half"... Webber has as well called himself six-nine when calling games despite always being listed at 6-10 as a player. Keeping it real.

agree with Height's post and 6'6 and change. Lebron and Melo Are always an inch or inch and half shorter than the 6'7 and change guys like Carlos Boozer and Kevin Love. Throw Blake Griffin in the mix as he was measured earlier than those guys with his Brillo pad hair and looks the exact same height as Kevin Love in their locksmith commercial they did together. Check out YouTube.
Also KROC put it well on Kobe's page about skipping the predraft. The reports are inconsistent but Lebron was said to have as well. I mean only .75" for shoes??? Everyone else gets 1-1.5 and some even up to 3" on that page???? Inconsistent!!! Not to mention guys like Kobe who is 6'4.5-6'4.75 and 6'4-6'4.5 measured lance Stephenson in close ups only look 2" shorter when standing neck and neck with him.

He's 6'9 and change like listed but no taller or shorter. this just goes to show that most of the nba is overinflated in terms of height listings. Goes to show when Shannon brown who I've seen here in Phoenix is only 6'0 and change and listed 6'3 or 6'4. I am a legit solid barefoot 6'5 and he barely came up to my nose. Same with Shawn respert back in the day (listed 6'3 but barely over 6'

And Durant is only 6'9 not taller (most believe he is but he isn't) as you can see it with people like dirk who is 6'10-6'11 barefoot who are taller and howard who is a self proclaimed 6'9 barefoot (may even be a hair less as he is shorter than Hakeem Olajuwon who is 6'9-6'10 himself barefoot). Also look at durant next to someone like Gasol. He is clearly shorter. The only ones that come into question are serge Ibaka and Kendrick Perkins who are listed 6'10 but are clearly 6'8ish.

Rob, you do realize that most of these NBA stars, including LeBron, are under 20 (and sometimes barely 18) when they get measured for the draft? It really doesn't seem accurate to assume that that measurement is their final height, down to the quarter-inch. On the contrary, you should probably assume that they would have at least a smidgeon of growth left in them at that point in time.

Editor Rob some of them will gain a bit more, but on average the difference from 18-20 is small. For every guy who gains something noticeable there's many more who don't.

In a surprising admission, Dwight Howard says he's "only" 6 feet 10 -- and that's in basketball shoes. The Magic list him at 6-11. I brought it up because Garnett looked at least 1 1/2 inches taller than Howard last week. "Yeah, he is. I'm 6-10 in shoes. Hedo [Turkoglu] is taller than me. It really doesn't matter. I guess it's because I'm big this way that people think I'm taller," Howard said, tracing a finger across his broad chest and shoulders.

The Prince is tall. He is just short compared to a guy that is atleast 6 feet 7.25, who probably could easily pull of 6 feet 8 in my opinion.

Prince William looked dead star struck/intimidated by Lebron and Jay Z.

I thought that Wills (Prince) was tall until I saw Lebron tower over him in height and width and lebron was not even standing straight, 6'8 for me.

In the photos the height difference doesn't look so great, he looks 6'7" and change Click Here I think.

I am a high school basketball coach and I have met many other coaches. One particular coach I know worked at a summer camp with Lebron when Lebron was in High School at St Vincent.
Long story short he said Lebron was 6'4 in barefeet at the time and measured around 6'5.5 with gym shoes which was then rounded to 6'6. He has seen Lebron on occasion and mentioned that Lebron had grown a couple of inches. Lebron is 6'6 in barefeet, 6'7.5 in gym shoes thus this is why he listed at 6'8. A 6'8 list does NOT mean that he is exactly 6'8 with shoes just that he is within a half inch of the listed height.
I think the most important thing to remember is if anyone meets him in person he will be in shoes and probably standing on a uneven surface. On a side note since most people cant tell the difference between a half inch I would say rounding your height off by a half inch is not lying. For example; listing your self at 6'6 when your actually 6'5.5 is pretty accurate and not worth splitting hairs. Claiming more than a half inch is pushing it.

Lebron James was measured 6 ft 7.25, barefoot, when he was 18 years of age, for the draft. That's official. It's pretty likely that was not even his max height at 18 years of age - people measure different heights at different times of the day.
Many men don't even stop growing until they're 20 or 21. I think it's pretty likely he's at least 6'8

@payr: LeBron was only 18 at the time and could have easily grown after that. Dwyane Wade measured at 6'3.75'' (which probably means more like 6'3'' flat in the afternoon) and yet LeBron consistently looks four inches taller than him in photos. LeBron is more than likely a full 6'7''.

Lebron is probably 6-6 and a half during afternoon because he measured at this in the morning

It's a fact most nba players are inflated height wise. I'm just under 6'5 and have stood by lebron. He is about 2 inches taller. I'd give him 6'7 flat and also stood by Melo. He is about 6'6 flat no taller. Remember he had thick cornrows which may have given him the 1/4 inch or so when he came in the league

I've seen Lebron in person-he's 6'7. If you don't believe me look at pictures with him and Carmelo Anthony. Carlos Boozer is taller then him and he isn't even a legit 6'8.

That's not 4 inches though budy. Lebrons head doesn't stop where you see the white head band, that's like 2-3 inches max their.

Kevin Love, number eleven, is 2.08 (I think he is really 2.06) Blake Griffin is 2.08 -number 14-. Number eight is Kevin Durant, who is well listed in 6'11 (211 cm.), and LeBron arrives at his eyebrow level (4 inches less), that gives a plain 6'7'': 200 cm. In basket, players are measured with shoes, so they are always 3 cm. taller (some of them even 4) than barefoot, so this can explain why LeBron is in 2.00. What do you think? I think more than 2.02 is an exaggeration.
Another thing to you Rob (one suggestion): Could yo put in a future a 'Basketball' page? We are talking in the 'Soccer' page about soccer players' height, but there isn't a simillar one to talk about basketball players, and that's the most interesting, because we haven't talked about that yet. What do you think? Thank you very much :)

Lebron is shorter than Boozer, who is not even 6'8 in the morning.
LOL at 6'8. In your dreams Lebron fanboys.

Rob can we get a listing for Kevin Durant? He is at least 6'9" Most likely listed at 6'9" so he could be taken seriously as a small forward.

Lebron reaches above Shaqs eyebrow ridge and he's likely tilting his head toward him. Lol at anyone saying anything under 6'7. He looks at least 6'8 here with shaq even when accounting the camera disadvantage.

I think the height of 6'7.25" is spot on and that's enough to say you are 6'8" but the real honest dude is Kevin Durant. He probably rounds down.

6ft7.25 was his barefoot height at 18 and that's not even his real morning height. idk why you go by a compressed height after the morning. He is a legit 6ft8, especially out of bed.
