NBA players now get measured a few times at different camps.

@Lebron23 No, in your pic, LeBron is eye to eye with Beasley. If Wade is 6'4", Beasley and LeBron look 6'8". Which means Beasley can't be the 6'10" he's listed at.

this dude was 6'7.25 as an 18 year old, as recorded in the predraft measurements. its most likely he grew to even 6'7.5 as he looks of similar, or even slightly taller in height to guys who are legit 6'8 barefoot e.g shane battier.

Lebron so nice player on Miami but lebron is no match for jordan
Heightwise said on 12/Jan/14
I'm trying to find good comparisons between Howard, Durant and Lebron. Durant looks almost 3 inches taller than Lebron in various pictures, Dwight never looks more than 2 taller than Lebron. Then there's a picture of Howard and Durant and Howard has a touch on him (though Durant might be leaning a little). So it's hard to find conclusive heights for the 3

Sorry Peter Hung but Kobe is 6'5 and Lebron isn't anything below 6'7. Still not sure about him being 6'8 though. I've gotten the opportunity to meet a lot of these ballplayers over the last 10 years or so and I can tell you that 99% of the time, they come out shorter then listed… even the tallest ones. The redraft measurements give you a glimpse of the truth in terms of a lot of these players height, but its far from being the Holy Grail. I mean come on they still have Allen Iverson listed as 6'0 feet...

Interestingly, in the USA team photo Lebron looks surprisingly short, not sure if he could be leaning down slightly or have a shoe disadvantage, but everyone else in the back row seem to dwarf him, Durant by 3 inches or so and Kevin Love who is supposedly under 6'8 by around 1.5-2 inches

@ height wise He doesn't look taller then either of those guys.

LeBron is 6'9" in shoes, from "LeBron IX" shoes, it's platform(heel) is elevated for 1.75 inches, because he weights heavy and landing from high jump constantly can hurt his feet, anyway LeBron is 6'7.25"(201cm) barefoot.His weight is around 250 pounds(115kg). His peak weight was 275(125kg) pounds, don't compare him to D.Howard, LeBron has high BMD and his bones give him more weight even if he looks skinny.

@Joe
They couldn't and don't wear multiple pairs of socks during the pre draft combine as that could potentially hurt their performance in other things. Lying in bed for an extended period of time such as 12 hours isn't going to make a real difference to just getting a good 8-10 hour sleep before pre draft camp. So knowing that the average person fully stops growing between 18-21 yrs, I think it's to say that some these people who were drafted by age of 18 have grown since their pre draft measurements
Joe said on 22/Jul/13
@LeBron6
Pretty much all NBA players are measured barefoot at the pre-draft camp, so there isn't too much debate about their height. I have heard that some of them use techniques to measure out as tall as possible, such as wearing multiple pairs of thick socks or lying in bed for 12 hours the night before measurement day. I would take the pre-draft measurements to represent their absolute peak height. By night, most of them are probably at least an inch shorter.
LeBron6 said on 15/Jul/13
Rob you should add dwyane wade, kevin durant, dwight howard, kobe bryant, carmello anthony, and blake griffin.

Xc said on 26/Jun/13
Durant's height isn't so much deflated as other player's heights are inflated. Unlike 99% of players in the league, he lists his height without shoes. Barefoot he's as tall as all 6'10" players and probably half of 6'11" players.
The USA basketball picture shows he's no more than 6'10.5" in shoes when you compare him to Davis and Love.

It's not unlikely that Durant have grown, but I still don't think he's more than 6'10 flat w/o shoes. Some are still growing when they hit the twenties, some don't. I'm 6'3.25" and haven't grown since I was 19 (I was 155lbs then though, 190 now).

Wade is still at least 6'3 barefoot. He definitely looks in the 6'5 range on the court. He was pretty closely matched to the 6'5.25 barefoot Danny Green and looked nothing more than an inch shorter.
Looking at the after party pictures, Wade is towering over the 6'0 Drake, and the 6'1 Norris Cole.
LeBron is slouching and still at least 3 inches taller.

What does everyone on here think about Kevin durant's height? I would say barefoot he looks close to the 6-10 listing (which is rare in the nba since that is usually a height with shoes). I know he was measured at 6-9 w/o shoes, but he was 19 then so an inch of growth would not be absurd.

Solid 6'7.5'' for Lebron, 6'8.5'' in shoes.
He plays much bigger than his height because he has very high shoulders and a short neck and head. What really counts in basketball is where your arms attach to your shoulders.
Ozzy said on 4/Jun/13
If you're going to use pics, use decent ones. No leaning, no different stance, no too low/high camera angle. Pics might fool you anyway, but team pics are the best by far for judging height. For now, these are the best out there:
Team USA 2012 (I find this very good because it's got Anthony Davis in it a matter of weeks after he was measured at pre-draft camp, so we can eliminate possible growth and thus know that he's 6'9.5" in this picture):

Depending on what he did and how early he was up compared to you, your posture and his posture, and the footwear. with these factored in he could easily measure out taller then you.

Lebron is about 1.25 inches taller then kobe bryant. Kobe himself was measured at 6'4.75 but out of barkley, jordan and kobe, kobe seems the shortest and all three were measured at 6'4.75.
So that would lebron at 6'6 but i'll give him half an inch and put him at 6'6.5. Lebron james was similar in height to magic johnson but if magic stood with full posture, he would edge lebron and magic himself isn't even much taller then jordan nor the 6'5 howard stern. Magic has been listed at 6'9, which was very, very silly. Magic doesn't even seem to edge 6'7 and lebron isn't taller then him.
Lebron is in the 6'6 range at best.
kobe 6'4 - 6'4.75
barkley 6'4.5 - 6'4.75
jordan 6'4.75 - 6'5
magic 6'6 - 6'7 at best
lebron 6'6 - 6'6.75

Think Rob has it right on this one. If you look at pictures of Lebron next to 6'1 Obama and 6'3.5" Wade he looks to be a solid 6'7. No less, no more. Also he was measured at 6'7 without shoes at the nba draft combine at the age of 18 so there is no way he is under 6'7 flat

Also...I have seen 6"4 Dwade next to 6"2 Novak Djokovic at the Miami Masters...he looked at least 3 inches taller..either Novak is 6"1 with shoes..or Dwade is closer to 6"5 with shoes..therefore making Lebron DEFINITELY a legit 6"8 with shoes..since he has at least 4-5 inches on Dwade
Pothead said on 8/Apr/13
First of all..nobody is listed with his barefoot height. It's about your height in shoes rounded to the nearest inch. So if LeBron is 6ft 7.25 in and his shoes have 1 inch soles..he is 6ft 8.25 in..which is 6"8 rounded to the nearest inch. If he was 6 ft 7.5 in he would be 6 ft 8.50 with shoes..making him 6"9 rounded.
I am 5 ft 6.25 inches barefoot...but most people think I am a legit 5"7...weak 5"8.

Also for reference, Dwight Howard on his own height:
"The rules are different," Howard said. "When Shaq played, you could be more of a bulldozer down in the paint. Nowadays, you see it, if I hit somebody just a little bit, they call offensive foul. Plus, I'm 6 [feet] 9, 6-10. If I could play the way he played, it would be a lot of fun."

Look at this pics of the 2012 USA Basketball team, Lebrons top head reaches Durant eyebrow. I think Durants height is 6'10" he may have another 1 inch late growth spurt in his early 20s (predraft express states his height is 6'9" barefoot at age 19), Lebrons a legit 6'7" not 6'8". Notice how Durant is so close to height with 6'11" Chandler.

Tony you are 100% right.I know from my father who is 52 lost almost 2'.He was solid 6'4 around 30.Right now on a good day he isnt even 6'3.He has a good posture.
Back to the topic.I saw many pictures of lebron i can see him being full 6'8 on a good day.201cm-203cm range seems acceptable for him.However its highly unlikely he didnt grew even a little after 18.
Tony said on 21/Sep/12
if you guys look at height charts for men you will see that taller men(meaning over 190cm) begin shrinking a lot earlier than average men. On the growth chart taller men tend to start shrinking at about 30 years old, this is due to gravity and such pulling down more on taller peoples bodies. I would not be surprised if these NBA players began shrinking before they reached 30 due to their massiveness. You guys also do not take into account that one of the reasons these men were able to excel in basketball was because they matured faster than their fellow peers physically, so they were probably done growing sooner and probably did not grow much after 18.

The biggest exageration of height would be Dwight Howard's. Listed at 6'11, there are many videos and pictures proving that he is actually around 6'9.

who cares if their heights are being exaggerated by an inch or two, they are still tall as ****!!!
A 6'7.25 guy claiming 6'8, big deal, he's still huge and you probably wouldn't notice the difference.

@Ozzy: Hmm, Liu Xiang doesn't look much smaller than Lebron, and he certainly has a larger head. I don't understand how Lebron can be 100 lbs heavier. Is he just one dense mofo?
Also, Lebron is 6'7.25". Official no-shoes height. 0.5" taller than 6'6.75" listed Joe Johnson:

Ozzy said on 26/Jan/12
Stoudemire, who struggled with a back injury in the Knicks playoff series against the Celtics last year, declared himself 100% fit after the workout. He said the extra time off because of the lockout was a "blessing in disguise," for him physically.
"I think everything is 100%. I feel great. I feel stronger than ever before," said Stoudemire. "I actually grew a half an inch, I am 6-11 with my shoes on, because of my posture. I am 260 (pounds) with an 8% body fat. I feel like a beast." ... Amar'e Was measured at 6'8.5"/6'10" (with/without shoes) at pre-draft camp... Has been listed at 6'10" throughout his career so that makes sense, so by applying logic, he says he grew half an inch to 6'11, assuming he was 6'10.5" before last summer, meaning he grew half an inch from when he was drafted, which isn't far fetched considering he was 19 at the time, this makes him 6'11 in shoes and 6'9.5 without... however, there's always the possibility that he's rounding up now: 6'10" to 6'10.5"->6'11"... Thus, comparing him to LeBron...?

According to the NBA pre-draft measurements, LJ is 6'7 1/4" barefooted. With his shoes on, he is 6'8". All NBA players listed heights are with their shoes on.

Ozzy said on 9/Jan/12
@Sully: When did I try to diminish other people? If your refering to my statements about Love and Beasley then my point is that 6-10 listings for two guys who measured 6-7.25 and 6-7 respectively is too much, even if it's with shoes. All I'm saying is that NBA heights are exaggerated. And about what I'm "buying" or "not buying" - obviously it's about that - if not why are you commenting in a forum if it's not your own opinion based on what you feel are the best proof or argument. I'm basically saying what you're saying - I'm using the pre-draft measurments and say that Durant might well have grown, but that in my opinion, from what I've seen with my own eyes, he's clearly shorter than Nowitzki. Pictures seldom tell anything anyway and there are few reliable ones to determine the height. I'm just referring to what I've seen with my own eyes.

Lebron is definitely this height barefoot or a fraction taller, simply because he looks it. As for Kobe I can't believe the 6'4 nonsense. Every time i've seen footage of him on and off the court it's clear that he is a good 6'5 build
thereel said on 22/Nov/11
Lebron was still a kid when that picture was taken!, lebron entered the nba at 18 and that picture was taken straight after his rookie season. And besides even ignoring that Lebron grew, vince has more 6'5 listings than any other actors who claim 6'5. So no 6'7 for Lebron

Sully said on 19/Nov/11
It isn't about you buying anything. It is what it is. You can try to diminish other people however you want, but it won't change reality. I haven't seen any reliable images of KD with Dirk.
And really, jtm? Blake Griffin was measured at 6'8.5 barefoot and 6'10 in shoes at the combine. Then you try to follow that with more baseless statements. The truth of the matter is that the lowest that either LeBron or DWade is, barefoot, is 6'7.25 and 6'3.75 respectively. Lebron usually has 4 inches on him.
Of course, it only makes sense to everyone that they both shrunk because no one is actually that tall.
jtm said on 15/Nov/11
well blake griffin was actually measured at 6'8.75 in the morning and i believe wade was also measured in the morning since he usually looks closer to 6'3. lebron is still 6'7.
Ozzy said on 15/Nov/11
OK, I can buy Durant growing slightly, but no way he's over 6'10, how tall is Dirk then? 7-4? Pretty clear from seeing them next to each other in the playoffs that Dirk's much taller than Durant. I agree thereí¦s a disconnect, but there will be as long as the players are allowed to decide themselves whether they want to go by their with shoes or w/o shoes measurements, or whether they don't care and just let the team decide.
Some of the worst listed heights:
Kevin Love at 6-10
Michael Beasley at 6-10
Luc Mbah a Moute at 6-8...
Sully said on 14/Nov/11
Dwyane Wade was measured barefoot at 6'3.75 at the age of 21. He is listed at 6'4 on NBA.com When you look at the guy next to other tall people during interviews and press conferences, it is easy to see how he stacks up. Magic and Mike Wilbon have both mentioned on separate occasions that Wade stands 6'5 on the court.
I use facts, you use estimations, see the disconnect?
Lebron at 6'9 on the court is an easy estimation because, at the age of 18, he was measured at 6'7.25 barefoot. He has continued growing since then, from the observations of those close to him. So, even if he really only grew half an inch, he would still be 6'9 in his bball shoes due to the soles being at least an inch thick on average.
I further cement my point by citing Kevin Durant, who was measured at 6'9 barefoot, at the age of 19. He is listed at 6'9 on the roster. He has also continued to grow as he aged while in the league, according to those people close to him. He was even asked about his true height, and he said 6'9.75 barefoot, most people around him say he's even taller than that. At 6'9.75, KD would be 6'11 or so on the court, yet he is listed at 6'9 anyway.
See the disconnect?

I'd say lebron is 6'8" flat footed. in the middle of the day he looks 6'7 3/4 and he is probably 6'8". Weighs like 265lbs.
Roa said on 28/Oct/11
Lebron is 205cm in the morning and you need to watch your step because you might step on him in the night as he is hardly visible. No, I'm kidding. When Lebron isn't on the court or being photographed he's 225cms and when he is he shrivels down to 201cm because of his shame.
LAN Jiao said on 26/Oct/11
i wont be suprise if after dark lebron was down 200.0cm tall. 201cm probably came before noon measurements and his weigh 245 could be true. 265 is too much.
Prodigy said on 25/Oct/11
I just think its funny, all of the ppl on here that say lebron is clearly under 6'7", when he was listed as 6'7.25" barefoot at 18. Do you think they lied? And btw studies prove that the average male doesn't stop growing until around 25. And he was listed 240 AS AN 18 YEAR OLD! I think that's the biggest thing to point out. Obviously he was never on a college weight lifting plan. He had to of gained at least 25 pounds of muscle if not more. In all, that puts him at around 6'8" 265 lbs.
P.S. Stop posting ****ty pics with some ppl having spread legs, others closer to the camera, some slouching, others perfect posture. It just makes you look silly.
LAN Jiao said on 20/Oct/11
Sully, sorry wade is no way 6-4. kobe bryant had ever claim himself he is not 6-6 6-7 NBA listed him say by his words he is only 6-4. obviously kobe had some rounded down. he is a strong 6'4.5 like michael jordan , swear wade always look an inch or 3cm shorter than kobe i can argue this. wade is 6-3 and lebron the joker is 6-7flat nothing more.
Sully said on 17/Oct/11
Lebron calls D Wade short when Wade himself is 6-5 in his bball shoes.
Anyone that has met Dwyane Wade will tell you how tall he actually is.
Bron has even called D Wade 6-2 in a press conference and Wade corrected him by saying 6-4, which is his barefoot height.
It is a joke to claim Lebron is anything under 6'7.25 barefoot.

Players dont really upgrade people when they are being subjective. Most people refer to the 6'3 listed Derrick Rose as 6'2 in shoes, and call Wade 6'5 in shoes(who definitely looked it in the ECF) Teams themselves will overlist a guy to keep things status quo, but will also underlist guys that prefer it.
sprint84 said on 21/Jun/11
@Sully
He may break through at some point, but we've never had to listen to someone boast this loud and this long without ever backing it up. James needs to take a looong break from self-promotion, quit pouting about the "haters," stop all the foot-in-his-mouth tweets and press conferences, and just win. Until then, he's a fraud (at least to me).
On height, I do agree that players and analysts selectively up- and down-grade heights to suit the conversation. With LeBron, though, the emphasis is always on how big he is. Analysts have made a sport of overestimating his weight (270, 280!) and I think that if there is even the slightest chance that an in-shoes-in-the-morning-and-rounding-up-to-the-nearest-inch LeBron could be 6'9" or maybe 6'10", we would constantly hear about it.
Sully said on 19/Jun/11
The NBA only lists the heights as the teams give them out. Lebron is taller than Beasley. And Lebron just had a bad series, he will breakthrough sooner or later.
Also, most NBA players, and ex-NBA player/current NBA analysts, generally refer to him as 6'9 and sometimes as 6'8. (This includes the 6'7 listed Bruce Bowen who was his primary defender in the 2007 NBA Finals.)
The inflation of height is really a position based thing. They also deflate height when it suits them(see KD, KG, etc.)
Darren said on 19/Jun/11

sprint84 said on 19/Jun/11
@JJ
I think Viper is referring to how LeBron was exposed during the Finals. He had an opportunity to back up all of the hype and self-promotion, to prove any doubters wrong, and to show that he is an all-time great capable of leading a team to a title...and just didn't have what it took to do it. Fraud is a pretty apt description.
And upfront and honest? I'm guessing you could find dozens or hundreds of quotes in which LeBron disproves this. Like most self-absorbed public figures, he desperately wants to be liked and will say whatever he thinks sounds good in the moment (whether it's true or not).
Getting back to height, I still think LeBron is not far from his 6'7.25" listing. Maybe slightly taller, but not 6'8" or over. The NBA loves to inflate heights -- if LeBron were a barefoot 6'8", I think we'd be hearing him referred to as 6'9" or maybe even 6'10" more often (see: Blake Griffin, Michael Beasley).

Lebron 6'7.25
Ray allen 6'5
Magic 6'7
charles barkley 6'5

I'd go with:
Kobe: 6'4 3/4" (Claims 6'4", his wife measured him as 6'4 3/4)
MJ: 6'4 1/2" - 6'4 7/8" (Pat Riley says his pre-draft measurement was 6'4 1/2", some people say it was 6'4 7/8")
Lebron: 6'7 1/4" (Pre-draft measurement)
Magic: 6'7" - 6'7 1/2" (He's often estimated between these heights barefoot)
Barkley: 6'4 5/8" - 6'4 3/4" (He's been quoted as measuring these heights)

Lebron James is most likely about 6'2", taking into account his proportions.
Sully said on 1/Jun/11
Kobe is like 6'4.5 barefoot. Thats why hes so close in height to Tom Brady.
Brady is 6'4.25 barefoot. The only time i've ever heard of lebron referred to as under 6'8 was by Avery Johnson. Even Skip Bayless, who underestimates often, refers to him as 6'9. Many other former NBAers who are commentators either refer to him as listed height, or go up.
Reggie Miller (6'7 listed) and Bruce Bowen (6'7 listed) have both referred to him as 6'9.
He may very well be under a full 6'8 barefoot, but if he wears normal basketball shoes, which give around 1.25 of an inch or so, he is easily 6'9.
kev said on 1/Jun/11
i think basketballers get listed with shoes on. they also round up or round down to the nearest inch. i remember kobe was listed at 6'7 a few years back so he was probably like 6ft 6.6 with shoes and 6ft 5 1/2 without shoes and i still think thats what he is today kobe 6ft 5 1/2 barefoot maybe as low 6ft 5 1/4 but no lower. also players like dwight howard are 6ft 11 to 6ft 11.4 with shoes so hes probably 6ft 10 barefoot. for example if i was in the nba measured by a tape measure with shoes on i'm 6ft 1 1/2 so i'd be listed to the nearet inch which would be 6ft 2. when in barefoot i'm about 6ft 0 1/4.

Wade definitely looked a full 6'5(in shoes) next to ~6'2 Ernie Johnson. Lebron is more than 3 inches taller than wade.
MJ is slightly taller than Kobe, but its inconsequential. Kobe was listed at 6'5 during the Beijing Olympics, Lebron was still at 6'8. Melo was listed at 6'7.

Ronaldinho was listed 179cm for years. Kobe is as tall as his wife measured him. Almost every player in the NBA is overlisted even very tall players. Nowitzki gave an interview in Germany in 1998 and was asked how tall he is, his reply was "I'm 2.10m" (6'11") yet he's listed as 7 feet in the NBA. LeBron's official height is 6'8" and that's most likely with shoes on.

If you are basing your information on that olympic team photo where 1: he isnt wearing the same shoes as Booz, and 2: posture isnt clear, then it is just as flawed. Wait until the potential ECF this year.
Also, you are dead wrong if u dont think players wear shoes to give themselves more height. Look at Big Baby for the Celtics, 2 years ago he was shorter than Paul Pierce on the court, now he looks like a decent sized 4 man even though it is widely believed that he is in the 6'5-6'6 range.
Also another point i would like to make is that guys that play certain positions dont like to let their real height show. KD is at least 6-10 barefoot and he is still listed at 6-9. KG is 6-11.5 barefoot and he is listed at 6-11. There are other cases, but those just come to mind.
Viper said on 6/May/11

Sully, my argument is not based on "logic" - it's based on a full body photo of LeBron (age 23) standing side by side with 6'7 3/4" Carlos Boozer and 6'6 1/4" Carmelo Anthony and clearly being shorter than Boozer.
Why do the 6'8" proponents have to rely on photos of LeBron where we can't see the stances or are taken from extreme/bizarre angles? If we want to take that route, maybe LeBron is only 6'2"??
Click Here
Try posting pics when we can see the stances and can tell whether the picture is level....like with 6'6" Paul Pierce, who is not 2 inches shorter

Sully said on 29/Apr/11
JT, your logic is flawed. LJ was a legit 6'6 as a junior in HS. He went straight to the pros from there and was measured at 6'7.25 BAREFOOT at the combine. Then, DURING his career, his teammates/peers/team doctors mentioned his continued growth during the first 3-4 years of his career. It would not surprised me if he were 6'8 barefoot.
DH's 6'11(i think) listing is inflated, he wears pretty big shoes(like Shaq) his back is generally erect although his legs are usually spread, and he is not as tall as KD even with his shoe advantage.
I was fortunate enough to run into KD on multiple occasions back at Texas and i thought he was about 6'10 back then. He claims to be only 6'10 now, even though many say otherwise. KD's height back at Texas is similar to how tall Lebron was when i saw him during All-star weekend.

Jazzy must be a
troll. 50 cent wishes he was tall at 6-0. Hell 99 percent on here think hes 5-11 Max. Really no taller than 5-10 range though.

yes the brady kobe pictures are awful i only post them to show how silly vipers arguments are lebron has clearly worse posture in the picture behind boozer look at their heads if lebron straight he would be same height as boozer.look at the shoulders lebrons shoulders are much highers then anthonys and the same with boozers. it possible that he is 6,7 but 6,8 isnt out of question no one knows only if someone has a measured him again.
jtm said on 29/Apr/11
50 cent never looks tall because he is not 6'0. he was actually shorter than 5'10 dr dre. lebron is shorter than boozer in that picture d wade posted on 4/19.
JT said on 28/Apr/11
James is not 6'8"
Click Here Boozer is not even 6'8". Bosh was measured at 6'10.25" barefoot. Howard was measured at 6'9" barefoot (age 18) and obviously grew another inch. I've seen Chris Paul (far right) up close - he looked 5'11"ish to me and definitely no more than 6'0".
Viper said on 28/Apr/11
Funny how Lebron is clearly shorter than Boozer standing right behind him in that olympic pic.
And lo and behold, Lebron is just a hair taller than 6-6 Carmelo as well.
Viper said on 28/Apr/11
LOL, Jazzy you would think 6-1 is 6-3 in person you delusional twit.
Sully said on 28/Apr/11
So now we talk about footwear? LOL, you guys are good for a laugh.
Dwight is shorter than bosh by at least an inch, Bosh doesnt always look at tall as he is due to his raptor neck. KG is MAYBE an inch in difference from Shaq, but KG suffers the same posture issues as LeBron.
That Kobe/Brady pic really doesnt show anything. Honestly guys, Lebron runs a camp every year with some of the best HS talent in attendance. His height stands tall there too.
d wade said on 27/Apr/11
i have said he is a bit closer but there wouldnt be a 3 inch difference
and yes tom brady is for sure the same height as kobe

@d wade. That All-Star pic is really revealing although pics are never a good way to determine anything exactly as posture, shoes, stance (DH has got a wider stance than Bosh in this pic, but would still be significantly shorter it seems, and I agree that he does not look 6'10, despite his chunky Adidas). Nevertheless, I also always thought that Howard just looked slightly shorter than Bosh and even Garnett, but here it seems more than an inch. Bear in mind that players towards the right end in a photo will always appear taller than they are compared to the others, thus the only valid comparisons will be to those standing next to the player. Anyway, I believe KG is what he claims he is (6'11.75). Pre-draft measurments for the players in this pic, listed height in parentheses:
Pierce 6'6 (6'7)
Allen 6'4 and 6'5, both unofficial (6'5)
Garnett 6'11 (has claimed 6'11.75 several times, listed at 6'11)
Howard 6'9 (6'11)
James 6'7.25 (6'8)
Bosh 6'10.25 (6'11, was listed at 6'10 by the Raps despite measuring 6'10,25 barefeet at pdc)
Stoudemire 6'8.5 (6'10)
Horford 6'8.75 (6'10) (Judging by the PD-measurements it seems to be the norm that almost all players ranging between 6'8.5-6'9 are listed at 6'10 by their clubs)

Thank god Rob is not buying some of this, lol.

"kobe has 4 inches + on obama who is 6,1"
LOL, Kobe looked about the same height as 6-4 measured Tom Brady. Supposedly Kobe's wife measured him at 6-4.74.
Keep sucking with your height estimate skills though.

lebron looks close in height to dwight howard here Click Here
lebron is closer to the camera but there isnt a 3 inch different b
LOL, Lebron is closer to the camera. Ive pretty much come to the conclusion that the people who upgrade Lebrons height probably overrate him as a player as well.

Dwight howard doesnt look 6,10 next to Kevin garnett in this picture.

kobe has 4 inches + on obama who is 6,1. i have posted a perfect picture to see that lebron is no shorter than boozer and your are coming with your bulls heat game idiot,your estimates are laughable undertaker 6,7 1/2 and triple h 6,1 when there was no more than 5 inches difference.
Vegas said on 24/Apr/11
lebron and boozer are extremely close in height no more than 0.5in in it, viper you said boozer looked 6'9 to you in person
dwight howard looks roughly same height as chris bosh in nearly every photo and clearly has 2 inches+ on boozer in every photo so he must be best part of 6'10 these days
Sully said on 24/Apr/11
That guy just wants to believe people are shorter than they are for his own reasons. He does the same
trolling on each thread.
More of Lebron's peers refer to him as 6'9 than anything else. These are guys that see him on a regular basis, I don't think we're going to get anything more concrete than the 6'7.25 barefoot pre-draft measurement that was taken back when he was 18 years of age. It was widely mentioned that he was still growing during his NBA career.

jazzy about those pictures with jay z. i was saying it was useless because we don
t know what footwear they were wearing and lebron might be on a higher ground than jay z.
Viper said on 23/Apr/11
LOL, he dips under 6-7 at night. People need to stop this 6-8 BS
Sully said on 21/Apr/11
Also notice in that picture that Carmelo is listed at 6'8 as well. You cant really see depth in that shot though. Anyone that has met this guy always mentions how big he actually is.
LBJ is nothing under 6'8. Maybe he dips under that before he goes to bed, but who really cares?

this guy, Julius Erving is over 6'5. 6'5 1/2 supposedly. Jame is maybe 2 inches taller (1/2 but leaning a tad)plus Erving may stand 6'5 1/8 or 6'5 flat cause hes over 60 and may have had stress on his stature due to his younger basketball days. James looks 6'7 flat if you ask me.
