@JT: Davis measured around 6’11” in shoes on jimmy Kimmel. I can buy his listing but Lebron probably is a solid 6’7” still. I wouldn’t be surprised if Lebron were actually 6’6.5 vs 6’8.5

@Jackson: problem is we saw Davis measure around 6’11” In shoes on Jimmy Kimmel. And the NBA isn’t going to underlist anyone now. Maybe over list but with the rules the one candidate was Durant and the nets have him at 6’10” now. But also see Lebron with Carmelo Anthony who I saw in person only 3-4 years ago when he was done growing and was still 6’6” (how he looked) or maybe best case his pre draft. Lebron doesn’t look over 6’7” . Too many people would have to have grown for Lebron to be 6’8”

@Rob Maybe he measured 6'7.5" early morning and they put down 6'8.5". Not sure.
I know some people may think I'm a pyscho but I can even buy 6'6.5" for LeBron at a low.

Editor RobSimple mis-calls or reading a figure wrong can happen.
I nearly it done it myself when measuring somebody, I read something like 65 inches and called out 5ft 6. I quickly corrected it of course 😲

I can totally believe Anthony Davis measured 6'9.75" but not Lebron 6'8.5". If there was one guy who the NBA would want to keep overbilling it would be Lebron James.

He honestly could have grown and Kevin Durant and Anthony Davis are getting underlisted. I mean Kevin and Anthony Davis both do not want to be listed over 6’10” I think they’ve both said that before. The Main thing this has shown me though.... is that some of these guys seems to be able to just dictate whatever height they want while others have no control and just got downgraded.

He was measured barefoot just like everyone else. 6’8" was his measurement from his rookie year. He has grown 1.25" since then, big whoop. As for the Durant pictures, not all shoes are the same. Perhaps Durant’s shoes were half an inch thicker. Don’t see the point in arguing when these are their heights submitted by the team’s physician.

With LeBron and KD, there are definitely some pics where they look 1" or less apart.
Here from the 2017 Finals, after KD pulls up from 3 they are both standing pretty straight and look about the same height:

It's also possible that LeBron grew an inch in his late 20s. He's already an anomaly so it wouldn't surprise me. I definitely found myself thinking these past few years that LeBron looks more center-sized now than he used to, since most centers in the NBA are actually only legit 6'9"-6'11" types.

Height in sports is typically added to those with more "star status". So I'm not surprised with this updated height. LeBron is seen as the face of the NBA. Dudes still under 6'8" though.

Lebron is being listed at 6’8.5” barefoot now. Why are the majority of posters here obsessed with downgrading everyone? I posted years ago it was very possible he grew after the pre-draft measurement, and I was speaking from my own experience of going from 6’3.75” senior year of High School to 6’4.5” my sophomore year of college. These heights were measured by a nurse and a Strength and Conditioning coach respectively.

so after all this crackdown for transparency, the official measurement is out. the NBA is now listing him at... 6'8.5 barefoot, up from a previous 6'8 in shoes. what a joke. Stars get preferrential treatment as usual. many rockets players have dropped in height but Russell westbrook & James harden remain at 6'3 & 6'5, while both were measured under (6'2 & 6'4 respectively) barefoot at the nba combine.

@Shane: while there may be no proof, to the eyes he doesn’t look like he would measure that other than directly after waking up. To be honest looking at the picture that Joe posted with Durant he can look under the 6’5” mark by a small fraction depending on what Durant actually is.

@Viper: that’s actually not 100% true. I’ve seen 6’2 guys listed 6’5” and 6’4 guys like Byron Houston listed 6’7”. If I can recall Barkley was even listed 6’7” in college at one point. I saw an article I believe. And you pointed out to me that Robert Carter was listed 6’10” before and he’s 6’6” range so it’s very much possible. Add in Jimmy Butler 6’5” range now listed 6’8”. Not saying Bagley isn’t 6’9” but he has a good shot at 6’8” range too

@Viper: that depends on what time he was measured at the combine and what time he’s measured this year. Also did he lay down before his measurement at the combine? Not saying he did but all of those variable come into play. It’s hard to tell because he can look close to 6’7” and can look the full 6’7” at other times. Melo was measured 6’6.25 but I have a hard time seeing him less than 6’6” on a normal day so not sure if the combine was all that early that year. Also Keith Bogans I’ve spent time around when I was younger on the court and he is essentially my height and he has a combine 6’4.25”

@Viper: but how do we know the 6’9.5 was legit? That may have been a shoe height. Remember John Starks was 6’2 listed 6’5”. It’s def possible. I say 6’8” because Embiid likely is less than that. Maybe Bagley is 6’8.5”

Draymond in my opinion is 6’5” range. Yet he acted all offended that people thought he was 6’5” so I’m sure nobody on the warriors staff will dare to report him at anything less than 6’6”
My guess for Lebron is they’ll get an early morning measurement for him and round it up to listing him at 6’8”

@Canson and as u know I support the Kings in keeping their listings. It's their team. They should be able to market it as they feel best. So if they want shoe heights it should be their choice. And if nba wants precise measurements send those in for the computer programs that supposedly factor heights in etc. I still say compromise and have nba reps measure and then let it be known all players measured to within sixteenth quarter or half inch and then either add a standard 1.25 or 1.5 to all players for playing height _shoes. Then u have both precision and consistency with using shoe heights for 40 years.

To everyone saying that the reports of the measurements are made up, Dwight Howard admitted that he’s 6’9”. When asked about the positionless NBA “well i’m 6’9”. and So his is not “wrong”. I doubt most of the radical changes are wrong it’s just that the players don’t accept the new measurements

@Rob trust me, NOBODY is rounding down. Nobody. Teams did not want this policy at all. The nba is forcing it. And the vast majority of players do not like it, either.
Yet the nba is letting teams self report. Lol. So teams that hate the policy with players who domt want to "shrink" are absolutely not going to round down.
In fact, as some reporters have noted several teams are still using shoe heights for some players or going 1.5 to 2 inches above barefoot combine heights. It's a joke. For example, one player who was already 24 when measured at combine is now 1.5 inches above that! No chance.
And then they can cheat it other ways, too. For example, so and so measures 6'1 1/4". They then put them down as 6'1 1/2" as the measurement. And then at the half inch you can round back to 6'2".
It is very rare to grow after age 19 but with the few teams reporting youd think it's common to grow significantly. Lol no.
Plauers are friends with the trainers who self report? What do u think happens when a player making 15 million and with massive power tells a trainer vuesy making 80k that he wants a certain listing?
As a knicks beat reporter wrote, there are some obvious frauds on the roster and some shoe heights.
These heights are very unreliable and will remain that way unless nb measures them themselves.
@Shane: Perfectly and I mean perfectly 1000%.... said. Of course guys like Taj Gibson who was 24 grew to 6’10? Lol. He was 6’8.5 (morning) when drafted. He looked 6’8” all along for the most part maybe a wee bit taller than Boozer if we go by afternoon heights. I think they need uniformity in this. Very few players received honest measurements imo. Cam Reddish 6’7.5? Lol? He just measured 6’6.5 and was that before last season when he measured. How convenient like you said to get to 6’7.5 to put him at 6’8 like he was listed before. If I had to guess Cam is probably 6’6” barefoot maybe a touch over if anything. Zion is likely low to mid 6’5” Draymond def just 6’5 too. They need someone to regulate the heights and it’s a known fact that they prefer to measure early morning. But that part is ok if it’s all around the same time and same method and we are aware of it. At least they would all be done the same way (one way). I’ll even go one better. Latrell Sprewell and guys like D Rose got 6’4.5 and 6’1.5. Spree out of his own mouth “I’m 6’4” and Rose is 6’1”. So a guy may measure 6’1” or maybe just a tad bit over early morning and get 6’1.5 and round to 6’2 lol. They’d be a weak 6’1” later in the day and still be a shoe measurement at that point either way you look at it.

@Rob trust me, NOBODY is rounding down. Nobody. Teams did not want this policy at all. The nba is forcing it. And the vast majority of players do not like it, either.
Yet the nba is letting teams self report. Lol. So teams that hate the policy with players who domt want to "shrink" are absolutely not going to round down.
In fact, as some reporters have noted several teams are still using shoe heights for some players or going 1.5 to 2 inches above barefoot combine heights. It's a joke. For example, one player who was already 24 when measured at combine is now 1.5 inches above that! No chance.
And then they can cheat it other ways, too. For example, so and so measures 6'1 1/4". They then put them down as 6'1 1/2" as the measurement. And then at the half inch you can round back to 6'2".
It is very rare to grow after age 19 but with the few teams reporting youd think it's common to grow significantly. Lol no.
Plauers are friends with the trainers who self report? What do u think happens when a player making 15 million and with massive power tells a trainer vuesy making 80k that he wants a certain listing?
As a knicks beat reporter wrote, there are some obvious frauds on the roster and some shoe heights.
These heights are very unreliable and will remain that way unless nb measures them themselves.
@Shane: Perfectly and I mean perfectly 1000%.... said. Of course guys like Taj Gibson who was 24 grew to 6’10? Lol. He was 6’8.5 (morning) when drafted. He looked 6’8” all along for the most part maybe a wee bit taller than Boozer if we go by afternoon heights. I think they need uniformity in this. Very few players received honest measurements imo. Cam Reddish 6’7.5? Lol? He just measured 6’6.5 and was that before last season when he measured. How convenient like you said to get to 6’7.5 to put him at 6’8 like he was listed before. If I had to guess Cam is probably 6’6” barefoot maybe a touch over if anything. Zion is likely low to mid 6’5” Draymond def just 6’5 too.

What did we expect from the NBA though? At the end of the day, they're all about money, and taller = better performance = more money, because society's belief is that the taller the basketball players (and other athletes) are, the more athletic, but that's not necessarily the case.

@Viper: where do you see that? I can’t find lebron’s measurement online from twitter. I’m wondering a couple things now. For the guys measuring right around or right at half, are they rounding down? Draymond Green while I could believe he’s 6’5” flat at a low, i would find hard to believe he’s under that. Maybe extreme low he dips below but normal low maybe not. I wonder what time of the day some of these took place. Like Lebron Rose Draymond and if they were say 6’7.5 6’1.5 6’5.5 and they rounded down (morning measurements). The Sixers and Knicks were morning measurements. Taj Gibson is now 6’10, Lol? Frank Ntilikina is 6’5” again which makes sense if he’s really around 6’4 3/8 or 6’4.5 afternoon height which I always believed. Then the sixers some measured at their pre draft measurements. Lebron generally looks a legit 6’7” or very near it and Draymond doesn’t really look a weak 6’5”. I would be surprised if both were (1 hour out of bed) 6’5 flat and 6’7” but I wouldn’t be surprised if it were maybe 2 or 3 hours out of bed and 6’5.25 and 6’7 possibly. I wonder if some teams went into the afternoon or late AM

A few players in the league actually stand to grow a few inches. Most notable among them is Kevin Durant. Durant has spent his career — first with Oklahoma City, then with Golden State and now with Brookyln — being listed at 6-9 when he is more likely taller than 7 feet. Like Kevin Garnett, who was listed at 6-11 but stood closer to 7-1, the versatile guard may have preferred to be listed as smaller to avoid being pigeon-holed as a center.
Lmaooooooo
I will say that Tobias Harris May have grown and same with Kristaps Porzingis and Trey Burke (assuming his was a morning measurement at the combine). But we’re talking around an inch not a few inches. Harris I could almost believe would be 6’7” flat (training camp measurement is 6’7.5) but pre draft 6’6.5”. Those two likely were in the morning meaning he likely was 6’6 when drafted and 6’7” now. For Porzingis it’s different because he’s taller so maybe he grew half inch. He was 7’1.25 so maybe 7’1.75 or 7’2” now (7’2.75 is what he measured this week). Joel Embiid surprised me. I figured he was a clear cut 7’ afternoon height but he cane in at 6’11.75 meaning he’s less than that. That puts into question how tall Nerlens Noel and Jahlil okafor actually are since he towered them (it appeared). They can’t be more than 6’9”. Okafor was 6’9.75 at the combine so makes sense for him and Noel was 6’10” at his combine

@Canson: that was an inch and a half for Porzingis. Not really buying it. His combine was just before he turned 20. Super late to grow an inch and a half and I think his combine year was 2015. So many ways for them to cheat this with no nba reps there. 4 things could ensure accurate heights in future: no socks, nba reps do all measurements, all measurements for all teams at same time of day and use of quarter inch increments must be used to report and list.
I think it was just an inch for Porzingis. He was 7’1.75 when he was drafted. That was probably his normal low as opposed to a morning height. That is very possible as he was likely measured in the afternoon as some international players don’t attend the combine. Frank Ntilikina was an example. I watched when he was drafted he measured at a different time than the others

Luka Doncic measured 6’6.75”. Rob’s listing for him is fair since that’s not a low but he may be as low as 6’6” or 6’6.25 perhaps since it did say it was morning. Depends on how early it took place. Luka never looked as tall as 6’6.5”ish Harrison Barnes

I guess our suspicions have been confirmed. Morning measurements “I just found out this morning” is what one said. Porzingis got 7’2.75 which leads me to believe that his draft measurement was either afternoon (possible if he wasn’t measured with the rest of the group since he is foreign and may have come over to the US later in the week like Ntilikina did) or he grew. He’s probably about 7’2” barefoot which he looks next to Carmelo Anthony. JJ Barea thought he was going to be a bit under 5’10” but was “surprised”

I think it's because many people (especially casual fans who don't know much about basketball) assume that a taller height = better performance. It's the only logical reason I can think of, why height listings have anything to do with gambling and betting.

@Canson: I'd be down to do player height in parentheses and playing height (shoes) beside it. This would keep everyone happy. But it's going to be a joke. No nba reps there so teams can essentially report what they and players want. Plus in socks so even if they do it u can use lifts in socks that can't be seen. And then full inch increments so you will get minimum of half inch round ups even if honest. Then if one team does early morning and another does late day or after workout we have half inch to inch + difference there. So with all that to me this is going to make things less clear instead of more. Before we at least knew most were shoe heights and we had combine heights already for most players. I saw porzingis SUPPOSEDLY just measured 7'2 3/4" which is 1.5 inches above his combine height when he was 20. Lol. So this is going to be a complete sham. They need to have nba reps there for each team, sockless and a set time for each team for this to mean anything. When it is just the teams trainers will be pressured to do what players want and with nobody there to check them many will give in . And I'm guessing several teams dont want nba telling them how they have to list their players and measure them so it's just going to be a total mess.

@Viper: maybe 240 out of high school. They did and still do exaggerate Lebron’s height (6’9”) even heard 6’10 once and weight 270 or 280 before. He’s 6’7” barefoot max and 250 range today imho. Maybe it’s mid or upper 250s but I don’t see quite 260.

LeBron has always carried most his weight in his lower body and legs Click Here Guys like Dwight Howard are the opposite very built upper bodies but stick legs.
Funny enough LeBron's weight was under-listed as a rookie. 245 lbs at the combine listed at 240 by the NBA.

@Shane: another variable is that I’m sure they’re being forced to do this. Meaning some teams likely don’t agree with it which means they’d be less likely to follow the rules out of bitterness. I think listing the barefoot height would be good along with the shoe

@Canson good points however the NBA said this is for betting purposes and that makes no sense at all. Nobody gets based on heights. They bet based on performance. So what good what it do for gamblers if they dont have the height info? So unless I'm missing something, it seems they will use them. My idea is to do player height in paranthesis and then playing height beside it. So there u have the barefoot and shoe height.

@Christian I hope they are morning so we know their full heights but for this site yes that would be a problem. There are other issues as well.
1: if no nba rep there we can easily get false or manipulated measurements from the team as desired by team and/or players. A lot of these overlisted guys are because players want those listing.
2: if they are different times of day from team to team it will impact it as well. An early morning measurement will give a half inch to an inch across the board for a team compared to if a team were to measure late in day or at night.
3: if they do not make them go sockless there will be players who wear lifts inside socks. These are hidden pretty easily. Sock lifts are pretty hard to spot.

@Shane and Christian: its also not a given that the barefoot height will even be used. That’s just what they are reporting to the NBA. The NBA for all we know (even though it’s implied they won’t) may still list them in shoes. Maybe some of the wild exaggerations will go away but you may still see 1+. So a 6’5.5 guy May get 6’6.75 and still be listed 6’7 even if measured in the afternoon. Key word is they said “submit” their true height. It didn’t say they’d be listed at that height for fact

The problem though is that the measurements will most likely be taken in the morning, so the reported measurements may not reflect the true heights of players at noon or night.

@Heightguesser15 which this site will love for the most part but players and lots of fans are already upset about. Basketball heights have always been shoe heights well at least for 30 to 35 years. Plus, I think it is going to be a joke unless the NBA actually measures them themselves. If they arent there to watch teams and players can still report what they want. On top of that, if they dont make them take off socks we will have people who use sock lifts inside socks that can add at least an inch. So to me this will just add confusion and I hate it.

@Heightguesser15: to be completely honest I don’t think the new rules are going to be the end all be all. I believe they’re going to mandate submission of “true” age and heights but that’s the extent of it. Yet there will be some who fall through the cracks. Also, who is to say that the NBA is going to list the players at that height. It doesn’t say that they will. It just says that they want to teams to submit the true listing. The NBA may still add shoes to the listing but I think that they’re targeting those egregious listings that are 3” taller than what they actually are. Of course they bring up Durant’s name too as being underlisted but I don’t see his going up by much. Maybe he’ll get listed 6’10” as opposed to 6’9” since he may be closer to that and I also feel that they will measure the players as early in the day as they can when they provide these. I’m sure the individual franchises are not happy about this (the height thing)

I think LeBron is around 6’6.75”-6’7”. My dad is like 6’6.25-6’6.5”, and he said LeBron was the same height as him. I guess we will soon figure out a lot of players true barefoot height, as the NBA is making every team report precise barefoot measurements for every player.

@Canson hope all is well by friend. One major new thought on Lebron's perceived height and some -- like Stephen A -- who often call him 6'9". Obviously they are talking shoe height but....
Some of Lebron's shoes are said to give significantly more height than most basketball shoes. I've heard (but havent checked yet) that the 2016 Lebrons add roughly 2 full inches. Most of his other models are thick as well, at least at around 1.5 inches. So this is likely a reason he is seen as tall as he is by some, as he may be getting a half inch minium or more on some other players wearing the 16s and an inch on those wearing short basketball shoes that provide only around an inch more or less. And even some shorter models that give closer to 1.4 to 1.6 probably a 1/4 inch on many and sometimes a half inch. In addition to that, we know LeBron is extremely dedicated to taking care of himself so I'd be shocked if he doesnt have a rather thick orthotic/insole in his shoes to go with those thick sneakers he wears. All things considered, he likely never takes the court where he gains less than 1.5 to 1.6 inches and could easily gain a full 2 or slightly more in a model like the 16s with his likely use of a very good orthotic. So if he dips to 6'6 1/2" were talking still standing 6'8 1/4" to 6"8 1/2" range during games.

@Josue: he can look an inch taller than Melo at times. Melo is a legit 6’6” minimum if not 1/4” over. This despite some combines taking place early in the day but maybe 2003 wasn’t the case or maybe he gained a fraction because he looks a legit 6’6” in person or a hair over vs weak 6’6”. As for Lebron, he can look 1/2” taller than Melo at times or 2cm. My guess is 200cm is the lowest I’d guess (same as you said 6’6.75) but no higher than 6’7” flat or best case 201 probably. Kobe at 6’4.75 he can look 2” or maybe up to 6cm taller at times

@Junior: the more I see, Lebron looks the full 6’7” more often than not. Walton May be 6’6.5 or .75 because Magic could look taller at times. I still think Melo could be anywhere from 6’6-6’6.25. He may measure the listing but he’s no higher. I’ve seen 6’6” guys that are 2” taller then some that are just 1.5” and I thought the middle of that for him. Maybe more 4.5-5cm. Meaning he could be 6’6 1/8 perhaps. He looked about the same as my 6’6” friend next to me but he also used to measure 6’6 1/8” at a low

@Canson They cannot be the same height. It's too obvious Luke look like a weak 6'7 guy can look 1.75-2" on Kobe thats the best when they had proper comparison. Lebron had loose posture most of time you should have notice by now, sometimes i even could buy this 6'7 1/4 as his lowest but looking more at him i can see a proper 6'7.

@Canson True the picture of Lebron footwear looks much thicker than 1/8 more like 3/8th inch more than Luke, atually look like a 4cm basketball sneakers an Lebron eye level look an easy half inch higher so maybe Luke is closer to 6'6 7/8 and i agree there is more 1.75-2" between Kobe and Luke and solid 2-2.25" between Lebron and Kobe. On the court Lebron often had a bit more footwear than Kobe since the past they played. So i won't be surprise Luke and Lebron barefoot is only 1/8 inch difference but Lebron got to be the taller one.

So i won't be surprise Luke and Lebron barefoot is only 1/8 inch difference but Lebron got to be the taller one.

@Junior: I will say this. Kobe looks less than 2” shorter than Luke Walton at times. To tell you the truth, I see more between he and Lebron at times than I do between he and Walton

@Junior: in this pic he looks 4” taller than Buddy Hield. Hield measured 6’4.5 in shoes (6’3.25) earlier on on 2 occasions so the 6’3.75 is a morning height. But Luke looks at least 6’7 with him

@Junior: could be the camera angle and the fact that Lebron has more footwear on than Luke. Lebron has at least 1cm more footwear there. But I’ve seen pics where Luke can look the height you said with Magic. To be fair, Luke looks at least an inch taller than Carmelo Anthony in pics so I think he’s the same size as Lebron at worst if not a hair or two taller

Click Here Luke Walton best comparison standing next to Lebron, Luke use to have a draftexpress measurement say to be 6'7.75" without shoes that is quite bs, he is more like 6'7 and 6'6.75" a low and in this picture can see 6'7 Lebron had like 1/8 more heels and 1/8 less relax posture balance out that he is 6'7 1/8 here and look close enough 1cm on Luke Walton in fact barefooted is 1/4 inch max between them.

6'8.5" for Lebron is nonsense. He was not even that tall with normal shoes on and comfirmation less than 117kg let alone 120-125kg.

@Junior: yea Lebron is about 6’7” but no higher. Maybe a fraction less
@Viper: 2” is easy because if it’s a morning height in shoes. Look at Tyreke Evans when he measured 6’5.25 in shoes. He may really only edge you by half inch or 2cm 6’3.25 or .5 since that was a confirmed morning height for him same year as Steph Curry and Blake Griffin but Evans is listed 6’6”

Your 6'6 friend is not even 6'4, sorry but not to disappoint you but telling the truth i had a real 6'4 5/8 (194.6) friend met Lebron at a bar at night and he mention Lebron had a big 2" on him when he walk up have a chat with him and that is probably 2.25" between them he say which is leading to be tiny bit weak 6'7 or 6'7 if my friend atually had a 1/8 more footwear we don't know it so lets just call off 6'10 tricks. Lebron is 6'7 and always this mark.

@Canson: Oh wow okay, thanks for letting me know, that clears that up. I knew that 6'10.5 seemed way to high, and a 6'6 guy would not feel that small. And yeah my mistake he is 6'7 around the afternoon, he measures 6'7.25 closer to the morning then. I'm better at making decisions if I'm provided a picture, for example Ben Simmons is not much taller than him. Simmons had two measurements that I know of. I believe, one was 6'9(I think) and the other was 6'8.25(listed at the combine). I believe 6'8.25 is very close to Simmons and his low, I would peg Simmons at 6'8 for a low. As for LeBron, 6'6.75.

“The great players try and claim their night heights”.
I have never seen or heard of this. Most players or people don’t even know it varies from morning to evening. Lebron has claimed 6’9 270 before as well as 6’8 and 6’7”. At the end of the day your height in shoes or roster is not your true height. It’s your barefoot height
@Ellis: Stephen Ronald didn’t meet Lebron or he doesn’t gauge height well or is off on his. He also said Isaiah Thomas is 6’0” when he himself said he’s only 5’8”. The thing of it is Rob once deleted a poster’s comments on basketball players because they “were not serious estimates or comments” because they were egregiously low but these comments here are beyond reasonable belief in the other direction and deserve the same treatment

I’m surprised LeBron doesn’t claim 6 ft 9, LeBron basketball shoes look like to be in the 1.4 Inch range which means he would be 6 ft 8 5/8 in shoes and then he could round up to say he’s 6 ft 9 but then again it seems like the great players try and claim their night heights; I wouldn’t be surprised if LeBron says he’s actually 6 ft 6 3/4 without shoes (I believe LeBron is 6 ft 7 1/4 without shoes) towards the end of his career

@Stephen: That is really interesting, I feel like he would call himself 6'9, according to the current NBA standards he should be listed at 6'9, but 6'10.5 with shoes jeez lol. I understand how people who are a bit taller than a person, may feel a lot taller than what they actually are from the said persons perspective, I have had experiences with this. For example, I met a guy my height, I couldn't believe I was as tall as him until we took a picture together. I know this guy who claims 6'10, and he felt a little taller than the guy I met my height, by like a half inch, but an inch to play it safe. He must be claiming a shoe height, but he is really not that much taller than I am. Anyways, LeBron should stay as listed, he is indeed 6'7.25 in the afternoon.

Hey Rob, A big NBA fan here. In my experience, I met King Lebron about 5 months ago at a Lakers game. I am 6 ft 0 and went to the game with a 6 ft 6 friend. We met Lebron at the end of the game and took a selfie with him. Lebron was about 10 inches taller than me and 4 inches taller than my friend. He had to be 6 ft 10. I asked him how tall he was and he said 6 9 without shoes and 6 10.5 in shoes. So my guess is 6 ft 9. Also, my friend who is 6 11 met him and he was right about the same height with shoes. So Rob any possibility of 6 9? Nice website btw...

@Ellis: lol if you’re 6’7 at a low why do you list yourself 6’8” below? As for Lebron I don’t rule out 6’6.5-.75 as that was my initial estimate. However, I wouldn’t go any higher than 6’7 flat at a low perhaps. For Melo I think he’s a decent 6’7” out of bed and 198-199 at a low. The listing Rob gave him is pretty good overall from what Ive seen. If he dips under that mark it’s not by a lot. For Lebron though he was likely an afternoon measurement as all the other guys in that class that I’ve seen up close look near their combine heights except Ford. I have only seen Wade on the court but judging by how he looks in pics and against guys like Keith Bogans who is a good 6’4 and taller than Wade, and others who have met him Wade barely hits 6’3”. My guess is 6’2.5-6’3 range. Bradley Beal is taller than Wade too.

@Canson: 6'7 at a low, I disagree, I think Lebron is around 6'6.5-75 at a low. For the combine, yeah I doubt he wore footwear 3/4'', they probably inflated his height, during the time that was happening he was probably just under 6'7 but they rounded up. He has got roughly a bit above half an inch on Carmelo.
Lebron is probably 6'7.75 when he gets up, fastly dips to 6'7.5 within an hour, then he drops even more to 6'7.25, floats around 6'7.25 for around 2 hours, then he dips to 6'7, later in the day he goes lower to about 6'6.75.

He must not have worn air max at the combine if he only got 3/4”. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was not measured and they simply assessed an inch above Melo since he is slightly taller. Lebron once said that he was never measured after surpassing 6’6”. But if they did he’s pretty close since he would measure around 6’7” at a low maybe slightly less

@Viper: True, rounding is very common, yeah he seems like a 7'1.25 type of guy, 7'1.5 if he stretches, he and Kristaps Porzingis have a very similar frame. I was actually talking about Boban and Kristaps, they are both listed at 7'3, but while Boban is a legit 7'3 in shoes, Kristaps is likely a guy who is rounded up to 7'3, in that case Boban can be listed at 7'4. Bol Bol is a very similar scenario if they choose to list him at 7'3.
@Canson: Yeah, I had the opportunity to measure myself recently, and was out and about doing a lot of things, and late at night I took my height and I was 6'7, I never leave that mark or dip into the 6'6 range.

@Viper: Did some research, on his NBADraft.net it says he has been measured at 7'1.5 w/o shoes and 7'2 with shoes, and on an other occasion they got him at 7'2 barefoot and 7'3 with shoes. I would still put him at 7'1.5 as a basketball measurement, 'a real measurement' would be like 7'1. For example, I recently took my height and my dirt low is 6'7, when I get up I'm probably over 6'8 considering my height shrinkage, however my height was recorded a little after an hour and I was 6'7 3/4s which would be considered a basketball height.

@Viper: how tall would you say the Warriors GM Bob Myers is? He’s listed 6’7” and was a former UCLA Bruin. My guess is probably 6’5 maybe 6’5.5. Looks roughly same size as draymond green maybe 1/2” taller and looks 2 maybe 2.5” on Adam Silver. Also looks 1 or 1.5” shorter than Bell who I have at 6’6.5. Unfortunately not a lot of pics with Green and Bell but Bell may be 1.5” taller In one

If anything maybe he has 1/4” on him or he could even be 6’6” at a low if that was rounded up. He was shorter than Layman who is probably something like 6’7.5 at a low since he measured 6’8”

I don’t even know if that is Bell’s low either if he measures that at the combine. He’s saying he’s 6’8” which may be his shoe height. I would doubt Draymond is only 6’4” tho

6-7 Jordan Bell says he feels like he towers over Draymond.
When I seen him in person — I’m thinking going in, he’s like my height,” Bell said. “I say I’m 6-9, 6-10, but I’m really like 6-8. So I’m thinking he’s around the same height. Then I see him and I’m like towering over this dude. But it made me gain so much more respect because, I’m like, he’s smaller than what I thought, he’s not the biggest, buffest guy out there, but he’s the Defensive Player of the Year.”

@Christian 6'5 3/8: I don't think I ever said I measured 6'7.25 at night, and if I did that is a lie because I was never that tall at night, the most I've ever said is 6'6.75 at night I believe, but my low right now is 6'7 at night I believe, and that would mean that I would in the morning be a bit above 6'8. When I turned 18 I was a bit more than half an inch shorter compared to now, I was just under 6'6.25 at night. I need to measure my height though when I get the chance.

He doesn’t look any taller than when he was drafted. Even then and in high school he was barely taller than Carmelo and at times looked the same height as him

If you're 6'8" in the morning, then chances are that you're 6'7"-6'7.25" at your low. Didn't you say you were 6'7.25" at your low before? If so, that means you haven't grown.

He may have grown since the summer after his senior year of high school. He never played in college. He was measured straight out of high school and basketball players often grow at least an inch during college.

@Viper: I wonder what he would measure today. We don’t know what time of the day that one took place. Some of the guys now skip the Combine. But for him to be a legit 6’5” he would likely have to a listed measurement of 6’5.5 at the pre draft if we are talking morning height. I’m not sure if he would get that but he possibly could. RJ Barrett is said to have a 6’6.5 but not sure about him. He does look around an inch taller than Zion however so if Zion is 6’5 maybe he’s 6’6 barefoot or somewhere around it

The report started out talking about how LeBron James has always played at approximately 7 to 10 pounds above his official listed playing weight pretty much his entire career. It starts off mentioning how the Los Angeles Lakers roster officially you list LeBron at 250 pounds ... but he had been playing between 262 to 265 pounds for the majority of the season . Whatever after hurting his growing the injury really interfered with his conditioning program and during the course of missing over a month with the growing injury they said that LeBron has put on approximately 15 pounds and over the past two weeks has been playing between 276 pounds to 280. Whatever after hurting his groin the injury really interfered with his conditioning program and during the course of missing over a month with the growing injury they said that LeBron has put on approximately 15 pounds and over the past two weeks has been playing between 276 pounds to 280 pounds !! The heaviest of his entire NBA career. LeBron James said that his previous all-time true playing weight was 270 pounds to 272 pounds. That was his final season at Cleveland during his first run in Cleveland before going to Miami. He reported to his first training camp with Miami at 267 pounds ... however Pat Raleigh suggested that LeBron play under 260 pounds ... LeBron admitted that he took Riley‘s advice and played the majority of his NBA career in Miami between 250 pounds and 260 pounds .. typically he said he was around 252 pounds to 257 pounds. LeBron said he hopes to be under 265 pounds within the next two weeks. 6’7” & 280 lbs is freaking huge!
