Haven't seen recent photos of him to see if he grew a fraction, I think a downgrade to 191 range would be good though
Canson said on 25/May/22
@Andrey: I actually have him around 6’3” barefoot though at a low
Andrey200 said on 24/May/22
@Canson: I’m not convinced the 6’5 ¼ measurement was from lifts, probably just in the morning in shoes. That would put him at around 6’3 evening barefoot. I could see 6’3 ⅛ perhaps.
Canson said on 23/May/22
His shoe measurement was likely placed in the barefoot column of it was an afternoon measurement or he was gjvrn some height. I’m willing to bet you he’s no more than 6’4 in shoes. He really doesn’t even look 6’3 imho. Lonzo isn’t more than a 6’4-6’4.5 guy and I’d lean more toward my height than a full 6’4.5. I could buy 6’2.75 tbh
Canson said on 2/May/22
He’s definitely not 6’4”. I still believe they gave him some height when he was measured or that he measured at an out of bed almost. 6’3 at most
Canson said on 2/May/22

6’3.5” best case afternoon
Andrey200 said on 13/Jan/22
Rob could he be another 6'3 7/8" guy? I think he could measure it a couple hours out of bed like Goff.
Editor Rob
Maybe he could be viewed as a guy who might measure between 6ft 3.75 and 4
recapa said on 3/Nov/21
he should recieve another 1/4 at least he,ll probably measure that around lunch time.190.5-191 before bed and 192.5-193 out of bed.
Canson said on 8/Oct/21
He could be 6’3.25 but I doubt any higher. I still wonder how he got 6’4” when he’s nowhere near it unless he’s straight out of bed. Even then I’m skeptical
Canson said on 3/Jul/21
@Fried Chicken: they could be the same
FriedChicken said on 1/Jul/21
Looking at him more i feel like he'd be the same as Bradley Beal or maybe a smidge more.
Canson said on 4/May/21
@Chaos Control: I wouldn’t rule it out completely. I’d guess slightly taller but not an inch. To be honest, maybe less than half inch I can see at times. He can look an inch shorter than he’s listed here
ChaosControl 6'2.5/189.2cm said on 1/May/21
Canson could Liangelo Ball be my height at worst?
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 27/Apr/21
Ball brothers all get downgrade by 1/4 which is fair. LiAngelo i still see 6'3 1/2 is closer.
Canson said on 13/Apr/21
He needs at least another 1/4” reduction. Looks nowhere near 6’4” but at least Rob could justify it by saying morning height 6’4”. But really looks 6’3 tops
Canson said on 11/Apr/21
@Editor Rob: if anything his 6’4 was likely a morning measurement if it was even accurate. So 6’3.5 would be a fairer listing. Really he doesn’t even look that. Max 6’3”
Canson said on 10/Apr/21
@Recapa: that’s a good estimate. Maybe 6’3, 6’4.25 for Lonzo and 6’5.5 for LaMelo
recapa said on 7/Apr/21
6ft3.75 morning barefoot (6ft5.25 in shoes), 6ft3 afternoon barefoot (6ft4.5 in shoes).
Canson said on 5/Apr/21
@Dillon: I doubt 3” but I can’t say the same for 2-2.5”. Gelo has been pegged as low as 6’2 by some. Though I think taller, I could see 6’2.5/.75 perhaps. Wouldn’t surprise me if 6’4 is in shoes
Dillon Rice said on 24/Mar/21
Wouldn’t be surprised if Kobe was 3 inches taller, but who knows.
Canson said on 21/Mar/21
@Rob: it’s at least 1.5
Dillon Rice said on 19/Mar/21
@Rob Do you think Kobe is only 1 inch taller than LiAngelo?
Editor Rob
could be 1-1.5 range
Dillon Rice said on 18/Mar/21
@Rob Do you really think he’s as tall as Jared Padalecki? I find that hard to believe.
Editor Rob
well maybe Jared edges him out...
Dillon Rice said on 18/Mar/21
@Rob Maybe he measured 6’5.25” in 1.5 inch sneakers shortly out of bed with his hair included? That could add 2.25-2.5 inches to his height alone.
Canson said on 17/Mar/21
@Dillon: we agree on that. A reporter actually pegged him 6’2 range. 6’3.75 is still too high imho.
@Editor Rob: I find it hard to believe. Lonzo may just clear 6’5.25 in sneaks (maybe 6’5.75 in a bball shoe best case provided they aren’t the shoes LaMelo wears 😉) lonzo is over an inch taller imho. Maybe he got 6’4.5/ 6’4.75 in them early morning
Editor Rob
some basketball sneakers do seem 1.25 up to 1.5 range for bigger sizes, I've no idea what Ball's model of choice was back when the video came out at which his measured height was called out.
Dillon Rice said on 15/Mar/21
@Canson He looks no more than 6’3” to me. I can’t believe he measured 6’5.25” in shoes.
Editor Rob
I'll go with the 3.75 mark, I do think he got 6ft 5.25 in sneakers, but how early it was is another matter.
Canson said on 14/Mar/21
@Editor Rob: maybe 6’3.5 6’4.5 and 6’5.5”. But since the other two are listed .75 maybe his would be in keeping. He looks too short to be a weak 6’4 imho
Canson said on 11/Mar/21
@Editor Rob: he surely needs a downgrade now that we see LaMelo isn’t the height he was listed. He really looks 6’3” tops but 6’3.5” would be a decent start as a morning height of 6’4” would be the case. Lonzo Ball needs one to 6’4.5” imho to start
Editor Rob
he could get weak 6ft 4
FriedChicken said on 11/Mar/21
Yeah Lonzo looks at least an inch on Angelo, sometimes 1.25.
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 10/Mar/21
LaMelo had a straight two or up over LiAngelo. LaMelo get 6'5 3/4 now so there is no way LiAngelo is over 6'3 1/2. Lonzo often had decent inch on LiAngelo.
Canson said on 7/Mar/21
@Editor Rob:
He needs a major downgrade. Nowhere near 6’4

he needs a big ass downgard. 6ft3.5 could be a good start .
Canson said on 30/Dec/20
@Fried Chicken: his brother needs another downgrade
FriedChicken said on 29/Dec/20
His brother Lonzo got a downgrade and he looks bare minimum 3 cm taller. I say LiAngelo being 6'4" should be ruled out.
Canson said on 17/Dec/20
@Vincent: 6’3 is the most I could buy for Gelo. 6’4.25 for Zo and 6’6” (maybe) for Melo. Maybe 6’5.5-.75 range
Vincent Caleb said on 17/Dec/20
I’m not sure Lonzo has much over an inch over Gelo. It may just be an inch. Worst case for the Ball brothers is 6’3” Gelo, 6’4” Lonzo, 6’5.5-.75” Lamelo. I still think Melo has a shot at 6’6”.
Canson said on 15/Dec/20
@Christian: 6’4.5 is probably a decent compromise for Lonzo. That would, of course, mean LiAngelo should be reduced to 6’3 or 6’3.25 though as he clearly isn’t 6’4”. That fits with LaMelo’s measurement as he is the closest to his actual listing here. I could see 6’6 as a possibility and no less than 6’5.5”.
Canson said on 15/Dec/20
@Fried Chicken: I can give him 6’3” max but I can’t see over that. Gus eye level with the reporter could’ve been different so maybe it was an inch
FriedChicken said on 14/Dec/20
I think 6'3 - 3 1/2 range. You know somethings up when Liangelos height has been a topic for people who may not even talk about the matter much. Barely anyone there thinks he's 6'4" either on that one twitter thread because of that one 6'2" guy saying he was basically eye level with him.
I think he may look the same as Liam Hemsworth to be honest.
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 14/Dec/20
@Canson
6'4.25" is certainly possible. I just give him 6'4.5" ATM since I'm still on the fence, and not as knowledgeable about his height as much as you are. But I've always thought that Rob's listings (esp. the initial 6'5" one) was too high.
Canson said on 13/Dec/20
@Christian: 6’4.5 seems too tall for Lonzo. It’s a much better start than 6’4.75 but look at the pic below: you have Kyle Kuzma who measured 6’8 flat at the combine (I can see him being 6’7.75 perhaps being the combine was said to take place in the afternoon that year and he looks taller than Lebron and Ingram) Ingram who is listed 6’7” under the new NBA measurements, and others. Lonzo looks much shorter than Ingram in every pic of them. I really believe his 6’4 estimate from JT to tell you the truth. 6’4.25 is a best case. For LiAngelo I’m torn. I could go with 6’2.5-6’3 range anywhere in there. But he needs a downgrade being Lonzo was downgraded to 6’4.75”. If anything Rob should lower him to 6’3.5 being he’s clearly not 6’4”. Lonzo’s page needs more work but I’m not sure how comfortable Rob is doing it

How is he a weak 6’5 when he “allegedly” measured 6’4” flat? You don’t sound intelligent. And a 6’2 guy wouldn’t guess a 6’4 guy as his own height

It could be around a 1.5" difference between the two brothers. Lonzo 6'4.5" and Liangelo 6'3" IMO.

If Lonzo got a little downgrade then Gelo should too. Definitely more than 3/4 between them.
Canson said on 12/Dec/20
He needs a downgrade being he’s clearly at least 3cm shorter than Lonzo who’s nowhere near his listing
recapa said on 9/Dec/20
6ft3 flat .
EnrichGenuro said on 8/Dec/20
I a think legit 6’4,5. He was live with Lamelo and did not look 2/3 inches smaller. I saw also really funny claims like he grow to 6ft7 haha, but i think he grew an 1/1.5inch
Sachix said on 7/Dec/20
FriedChicken, he ain’t a strong 6ft3 but a strong 6ft4 for him
FriedChicken said on 6/Dec/20
We've been arguing strong 6'3" for him, Rachid. How is that average height? That's well above average.
Sachix said on 5/Dec/20
He is around 6ft4/6ft5 now he definitely grew past 2 years
Canson said on 5/Dec/20
Rachid said on 4/Dec/20
Yall crazy, he is now 6ft5 minimum stop slandering him he ain’t a average height he almost as tall as lamelo
How is that slandering him? Saying someone isn’t as tall as they claim to be is not slandering them especially when it’s factual. And He only measured 6’4 (provided its even accurate to begin with) and is listed at that here.
Canson said on 5/Dec/20
@Christian: I’m on the fence now. I even entertained 6’2.25 or 6’2.5. Personally I think 1.5” between he and Lonzo but it could be 1.25”. If it’s 1.25 that would make him 6’3 or 6’2.75 if 1.5, 1/4 less on each end. Two things I will say are 1. that I don’t buy anything over 6’3 for Gelo. There’s a better chance he’s under than over and 2. I don’t see over 6’4.25 for Lonzo. He could be as low as 6’4”. I did entertain 6’4.5 when he first got a page but that’s similar to me measuring 6’4.5 a couple hours out of bed. In my case between hours 2-3 since I can wake a hair over 6’5 still some days. It’s really dependent on where each measures. JT said he was 6’4 in person. The only one who closely resembles his listing here is LaMelo. Maybe he’s 6’6 (I doubt he’s over that Mark) and I can see 6’5.5 being more likely for his afternoon height. Maybe 6’5.75”
Rachid said on 4/Dec/20

@Fried Chicken: I’m not convinced Lavar didn’t slip a couple crisp hundred dollar bills someone’s way
LOL
Gelo can look a big 6’3”, I am not convinced he is over listed by a full inch, maybe he is over listed by 3/4. Lamelo still has a chance at 6’6” flat, at very worst 197 cm. He might be edged by Carmelo. I still don’t think Zo is 6’4” flat. 6’4 1/2” is possible. 1.5 inches between Zo and Melo, and 1.25 between Zo and Gelo,
Canson said on 25/Nov/20
@Ellis: I can see a man lying 3”. They all lie about their height. All of the Balls
@Fried Chicken: I’m not convinced Lavar didn’t slip a couple crisp hundred dollar bills someone’s way
FriedChicken said on 25/Nov/20
He probably got 6'5.25 in shoes because of early morning + hairstyle.
Ellis said on 24/Nov/20
@Canson: We know one thing for sure, he is not 6'5 at a low(Lonzo). For Lamelo, he might be a solid 6'6, but to acknowledge what I said earlier about his big footwear, that 6'7.25 may have been with big shoes. We also don't even know when he got that measurement, it could have been the morning. It was pointed out by me, that his wingspan was reported at 6'6, maybe that might be a ratio slightly above his actual height. All-in-all, Lamelo is not as tall as LeBron, he got 6'7.25, and he is known to wear big shoes. On the chance that it was the afternoon, and he wore average shoes, that would make Lamelo Ball a solid 6'6. However, as you can see, that is a pretty hard scenario to reach. I would just give him slightly under 6'6 at a low, 6'5.75 or 6'5 7/8.
@Canson: I still have Lonzo at 6'4.5. I just can't see a man who claims 6'7, to be lying by three inches, that is absurd. I might as well be as tall as Giannis Antetokounmpo.
@Christian 6'5 3/8: Gelo at only 6'3 is hard to believe. I honestly have no idea how he got 6'5.25 with shoes on, hence, Rob keeps him at this height. I reckon he is around 6'3.5, he might be 6'3.25.
J2Frenzy said on 24/Nov/20
So there’s a LiAngelo Ball, a Lonzo Ball and a LaMelo Ball. ARE THERE ANY OTHER BALLS I JEED TO BE INFORMED OF?
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 24/Nov/20
@Vincent
Sounds about right, though Gelo may only be 6'3" flat.
Canson said on 23/Nov/20
Then for LiAngelo while 6’2 looks a bit low, it was alluded to. While it does look low, was the 6’4” measurement actually the shoe height? And it was in the morning. Maybe he’s 6’2-6’3 range barefoot
Click Here
Canson said on 23/Nov/20
@Ellis: 6’4.5 for Zo would make LaMelo a solid 6’6 or maybe 6’5.75. He looks to have about 1.5” maybe 1.25”. I don’t quite rule out 6’5.5 for LaMelo although he can look 6’6 just not over the mark. Not sure when his measurement was taken. I have Lonzo at about my height 6’4.25 but 6’4.5 would be a good start. I would downgrade LiAngelo to 6 3” however
Vincent Caleb said on 22/Nov/20
Gelo- 191 cm 6’3.25
Lonzo- 194.3 cm 6’4.5”
Lamelo- 198 cm 6’6”
Ellis said on 22/Nov/20
@Canson: I do remember that 6'3.5 measurement from high school, and when I saw that he was listed at 6'6 in the NBA, it shocked me. However, only 6'4, I doubt that. I would say Lonzo is around 6'4.5 at a low, 6'4 is too low. 6'4.5 for Lonzo, would make Lamelo slightly under 6'6 at a low. Liangelo is probably 6'3.5, he claims 6'6, which is quite outlandish. I will agree that the dilemma here is Lonzo being listed at the full 6'5, which definitely makes Lamelo seem at least 6'6. Now, I do believe he can be 6'6 at a low, but I also do think he has an inch in change on his brother. In other words, if Lonzo is 6'5 at a low(he is not), Lamelo is taller than 6'6.
Here are my two possibilities:
Lamelo: 6'6
Lonzo: 6'4.5-75
or
Lamelo: 6'5.75-6'5.875
Lonzo: 6'4.5
I think the latter is more likely.
Canson said on 21/Nov/20
@Vincent: I think a downgrade to 6’3” would be fair for him. Lonzo doesn’t look any taller than me next to Magic but I could buy a 6’4.5 listing to start. Lonzo last measured 6’3.5 late in high school but he doesn’t look to have grown much. He looks 6’4 tbh.
Dom5'11.5 said on 9/Nov/20
Time to do 1 for melo, he is definitely taller than help but around lonzo’s height
Vincent Caleb said on 3/Nov/20
@Canson:
The ball brothers heights are so confusing, I think I have edited my opinion of them 7-8 times. Still not sure about the youngest son yet.
Canson said on 2/Nov/20
@Vincent: I used to think he was around your height until I saw him next to Magic or Ingram or Kuzma. He looks at best my height with them. Ingram being reduced to 6’7” shed some spotlight on a lot of peoples listed heights. That one surprised me. I would’ve guessed 6’8” but that’s because of his length and I hadn’t seen enough to compare. I think we can all agree that 6’7” is probably an afternoon height or he was a guy who measured under the half mark earlier in the day and was rounded down. Hard to see below 6’7” flat afternoon for him. I could see Zion as max 6’5.5 next to him
Vincent Caleb said on 1/Nov/20
London is 6-4.5-.75 and Liangelo is 6-3.25. He must be sneaking some socks under his feet in them shoes lol.
Canson said on 29/Oct/20
@Christian: weak 6’3 seems fair. Probably not a solid 6’2 but 6’2.5-6’3”. I don’t rule out shoes plus morning height though which would mean something like 6’2 3/8” perhaps but the video showed Lavar accompanying him there so it doesn’t appear he stayed but then again not sure. Another possibility is he was really 6’3 morning and got 6’4”. That would make more for 6’2.5-.75 range
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 28/Oct/20
@Canson
I intially gave Liangelo the benefit of the doubt and put him at 6'3.25", but now I question if he's even the full 6'3" anymore. Maybe upper 6'2" and change like 6'2.75" is plausible.
FriedChicken said on 28/Oct/20
LiAngelos hair style could've added a smidge to his measurment. It was most likely early morning as well when you compare him to Lonzo.
recapa said on 19/Oct/20
there is no way lonzo is only 6,2 range at least maybe something like 6,2 3/4 on an extreme low.i feel like he wakes up at a full 6,4 and goes to bed at around 6,3.25

Canson said on 14/Oct/20
@Christian: I believe the one commentator who said they were eye to eye at 6’2”. Maybe LiAngelo is 6’2 and change but look at Lonzo in the link on this page. He never looks above 6’4 next to Kuzma or Ingram who only measured 6’7” this year. At first glance many assume Ingram was rounded down but I don’t anymore. Kuzma is clearly taller than him and Kuzma measured 6’8” at the combine (likely weak 6’8 range at best if not 6’7.5”). Remember that he’s only listed at 6’8” (down from 6’9”) on the latest roster for the Lakers. Look at the link from July 29 2018 at 404 pm
Click Here
LiAngelo is about 2” shorter than Lonzo In pics. If LiAngelo is 6’3 I’d be surprised. And with Lonzo any pics with Kuzma and Ingram he actually looks smaller than he does here. This is about how he should look. Arguably he can look under 6’4 but I think here 6’4 or 6’4.25 look ok. But he’s not above that. JT also said he met Lonzo and JT at 6’5” said Lonzo was an inch shorter than him
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 3/Oct/20
@FriedChicken
Liangelo's easily one of the shortest 6'4" listed celebs on here. He doesn't seem much above 6'3" in many pics TBH. Still don't get why he didn't receive a downgrade.
FriedChicken said on 2/Oct/20
Looks too short with Lonzo to be this listing. Lonzo is most likely not a full 6'5" either.

They're both around 5'11", although my mom's a hair taller than him.

Ellis said on 20/Apr/19
@Christian: I get it, I've been claiming 6'7 since I was 6'5.25 in the morning which was probably around a year an a half ago. Now I claim 6'8, but I've grown a lot since that time, and I'm actually 6'8 one point in the day. I remember my gym teacher said I was 6'7 with shoes, I had my hair fluffed up and big shoes on, crazy to think how much I've grown since then. How tall is your dad?, my dad is 6'3, my mother is over a foot shorter than me, so me being 6'8 is kinda crazy.
@Ellis: my dad in his prime was at worst a solid 6’4” maybe even 6’4 1/8. Today he’s still 6’3.5-.75 range which is very good at 70. My mom was around 5’6 peak and says she’s 5’5 today.

What do you guys estimate the amount of tall men exaggerating height vs tall women? (exaggerating, not simply rounding up) I'd say half of tall men and about a third of tall women.

@Nik: I rarely see tall men claiming to be shorter than they are

He is way overlisted. Lonzo is 2” taller and isn’t even 6’5”

He’s close to 2” shorter than Lonzo. Lonzo doesn’t look over 6’4-6’4.25 next to someone like Josh Hart who measured 6’3.75 in the morning and next to Brandon Ingram. Li Angelo is 6’2” range as the one reporter said about him in the post I posted. If anything LaMelo is the tallest of them at 6’5”

I used to only really fence and play video games, but then after my massive growth spurt I felt like every week I was getting closer to dunking, at 15 I could grab the rim, I was 6'1 probably not that impressive and I kept improving. Basketball became a really fun sport to me, something I excelled in, and as I grew in stature I became better and better at basketball, doing a dunk in game was one of the most beautiful things I have ever experienced. I'm 6'9 in sneakers btw, I grew an entire foot since 14. How tall are you?

Being 6’8 at a low would suck big time
Canson said on 19/May/19
@Ellis: you’re still extremely tall at a solid 6’7”.
Ellis 6'8 said on 17/May/19
@Canson: Yep, I was a
height liar lmao, that to me is a really bad claim, but me claiming 6'8 when I'm 6'8 at one point in the day is not so bad. I had a monster growth spurt so I became insecure when I started to fall behind, but I caught up lmao.
9th grade: 5'8-9, 5'9 in the morning
10th grade: 6'1
11th grade: 6'3-4
12th grade: The 6'5.25 in the morning
12th grade year I ended up at 6'6.25 at night I think or 6'6 flat I can't remember
Now I'm 6'7 at night and 6'8 in the morning. Crazy how much a foot of height can do for you, at 5'9 I could barely touch the net, now the rim is my ______.
cmillzz said on 16/May/19
I don’t see why anyone 6’0+ would want to inflate their height tbh, but yet so many do.
Canson said on 15/May/19
@Ellis: lol you were really claiming 6’7” at a morning height of 6’5.25? Why do you want to be taller than you actually are?
Ellis said on 20/Apr/19
@Christian: I get it, I've been claiming 6'7 since I was 6'5.25 in the morning which was probably around a year an a half ago. Now I claim 6'8, but I've grown a lot since that time, and I'm actually 6'8 one point in the day. I remember my gym teacher said I was 6'7 with shoes, I had my hair fluffed up and big shoes on, crazy to think how much I've grown since then. How tall is your dad?, my dad is 6'3, my mother is over a foot shorter than me, so me being 6'8 is kinda crazy.
Canson said on 20/Apr/19
@Christian: luckily my family never does that. They describe me at my actual height that I claim. I could see your dad saying you’re 6’6” if you claim 6’5 1/2 but 6’7” is a bit much. If that were me I would just tell them that you’re content at your current height and tell them you don’t want to be taller than 6’5” since you do measure closer to 6’5 than 6’6” at a low. I’ve said that before to someone who told me I should claim 6’6 when I claimed 6’4 1/2. Then it became well you should at least say 6’5” before I finally asked the guy if he was insecure about his own height. He was and gave me an excuse for him to claim 6’0” when he was 5’10”. He came back with well everyone else does it before I said I don’t do what everyone else does. That’s one of the reasons why I claim 6’4” since I’m only 1/4” over that Mark at a low along with being asked by people before (one of which stands out) why do you bother with the half? I would just say 6’4” and leave it at that. This guy was honest and it was in response to a debate his wife who wasn’t all there was having with me regarding height when I told her 6’4 and she said I was taller than that. I said 6’4 1/2 then the guy interjected and said he is 6’4” to her because he could tell. Not sure if I had footwear advantage on him or not

What's next, Lavar's going to claim that Lamelo's 7 feet tall? Lol. I get that he likes to brag about his sons, but the height thing is overkill. My dad often likes to tell people that I'm 6'7", even though I've never claimed that in my life. I've told him time and time again that I'm not that tall, but he still does it sometimes.

I know they're both young, but do you think you could make a page for lamelo ball and barron trump? Or do you only do pagee for adults who are done growing? Lol
Editor Rob
Well I never added many of the young guys from stranger things, though they are getting to an age 16-17 now in which they might not grow much, so I will probably consider them...lamelo is 17, could he grow? Maybe a bit more.
Erik C. said on 17/Apr/19
@Ellis
I agree with you on the height you pegged for melo. I've seen recent pics of him and he actually does look legit 6'5. I think he is now indeed the tallest of the ball family and he very well could still be growing for a while longer.
Btw i posted two pics to provide evidence for my claim on the andre thread.👍🏻 You should look at the one that has my full body.
Canson said on 15/Apr/19
@Ellis: a guy who is 6’4.75 at a low isn’t a strong 6’5 that’s weak 6’5
Ellis said on 14/Apr/19
@Keiz: Hmmm, don't believe what the media puts out, because that is probably coming right from Lavar's mouth. Lamelo Ball is a tricky one, he has bad photos and he is always wearing big shoes, I would consider him a strong 6'5, he gets up at 6'5.5 and at a low around 6'4.75, which would mean he slightly edges out his brother Lonzo.
Ellis said on 13/Apr/19
@Canson: Agreed, and Lonzo at an afternoon height, not night height is around 6'4.6, I've been saying this since the beginning of time lol. This is how I view it,
Lonzo:
Gets up at: 6'5.25, near the morning he is 6'5, in the afternoon he is 6'4.6, and at his low just about 6'4.25
Liangelo:
Gets up at: a bit over 6'3.25, near the morning he is 6'3, in the afternoon he is 6'2.75, and at his low I'd say 6'2.5
Lamelo is pretty much identical to Lonzo, every time they are seen together he is wearing huge shoes, and Lonzo is in shorter footwear, honestly if one is taller, more likely Lamelo, it is within a quarter inch so it doesn't really matter.
Keiz said on 13/Apr/19
@Ellis you must have not seen Lamelo lately. He a good 2 if not 3 or more inches taller than Lonzo.
Canson said on 12/Apr/19
LiAngelo is said to only be 6’2” by one reporter. I don’t see him that low but 6’2-6’3 I could believe. Lonzo looks about 2” taller and he’s 194ish
Ellis said on 9/Apr/19
Recently Lavar claimed Liangelo is 6'6, this has gotten out of hand, according to his logic I might as well be 6'11.
If he received a 6'5.25 measurement, he probably had huge shoes, so I got him as 6'3.75 in the very morning, he is actually more like 6'3 or a tad bit shorter at night. Nowhere near 6'6.
Lonzo does claim 6'7, it's not as bad as Liangelo as he probably gives of the impression as being a 6'5, while Liangelo is a 6'3 guy. Lonzo at a basketball height is 6'5, and at a low is 6'4.25.
Lamelo, doesn't look much taller than his brother Liangelo, and he wears monster shoes, but he has got a few inches on him, Lonzo and Lamelo are very similar in height, honestly if one edges each other out it is barely noticeable. I remember one time I saw him being listed at 6'7.75, and people are calling him 6'7, he is no taller than Lonzo.
I would consider myself generous towards my height, I stand 6'7.75 and 6'9 shoes for a basketball height, and with my fluffy hair I'm 6'10, I say I'm 6'8, I could just go Hollywood and say I'm 6'10 lmao, that is literally what the Ball's do.
Canson said on 21/Mar/19
@Erik C: think LaMelo is taller than Liangelo. LiAngelo looks the shortest of the 3 with Lonzo still appearing the tallest but maybe LaMelo has outgrown him. They’re heights are all over the place as their father has inflated all of them. Lonzo claims 6’7” but is listed everywhere at 6’6” and is really 6’4.5 tops
Erik C. said on 20/Mar/19
@Canson
Well If Liangelo really indeed is in that range, than Lamelo seems like he is as well.
Look at this series of recent images.
Click Here
It's seems soooo close between the two of them like rob said, even closer than I had previously anticipated. I really can't see more than a half-inch differential between the two of them.
The camera angle might favor one slightly over the other, their postural positions seem pretty much identical, however, lamelo's footwear is unknown and liangelo's hair is portruding slightly more-so then Melo's.
But I think that means lamelo is MAXXX 6-4. And im really pushing it there.
Canson said on 13/Mar/19
@Erik C: the one video I posted the commentator claims to have met Liangelo which he isn’t lying about as he said it to Dan Patrick and he said that he’s 6’2” and that Liangelo and he were eye to eye. Maybe it’s over 6’2” but he’s prob between 6’2-6’3 the way he looks with Lonzo. That’s a 2” difference between them still
Erik C. said on 12/Mar/19
@Ellis
Agreed dude. There's no way that Lamelo is anywhere over the 6'5 threshhold. And yes, the 6'7 and 8 stuff is such bs it's laughable.😂😂
Perhaps it's because the camera's tilted a lil bit in Melo's favor, but to me Liangelo even seems to be struggling at 6'3. He looks more 6'2.5 - 3/4 to me personally. And yeah, I'd indeed say lonzo's still the tallest. My prediction is that he always will be. Based simply on his body plan, i think lamelo is done growing.
Ellis said on 10/Mar/19
@Erik C.: I'm pretty sure Lonzo is still taller than Lamelo Ball, probably by like half an inch but still all the growing stuff is bs, I can't see Lamelo being more than a weak or solid 6'5 at the most, not the very least. I mean look at the picture you listed, they both look very close in height, and I get that it maybe be a camera angle but Liangelo is 6'3, so Melo ain't gonna be much more than 6'5, or maybe even 6'5 itself. I can't believe some people actually believe that he is 6'7, it's pretty ludicrous.
Liangelo: 6'3
Lonzo: Might be 6'4.75
Lamelo: Around 6'4.25-6'4.5

If you're going to have Gelo listed at 6ft4, if you ever create a page for Lamelo I'm pretty sure you'd have to listed him at 6ft4 or 5 at the very least. Even if Gelo was 6ft2 i can see him being around that threshhold.
Editor Rob
They look quite close in height, I don't know if there's more than half between them.
viper said on 3/Mar/19
So the measurement is a total fraud
Canson said on 12/Jan/19
@Erik C: Liangelo looks around 2” shorter than Lonzo. Lonzo doesn’t look more than about 6’4.5 next to Magic or Lebron. Reporter may have been onto something when he said they were eye to eye at 6’2”. Maybe higher 6’2” tho for him or near 6’3” best case. I would say LaMelo has outgrown him now

Apparently genetics aren't on his side. I'd feel a bit bad for him if he ends up playing second fiddle to his brothers by not ever getting drafted to the NBA.
Ellis said on 28/Nov/18
@Chase: Yep, that is a very good point. Nowadays, in the NBA, they don't only search for height and weight but they also look at a players wingspan and
Standing Reach, essential for defense. He has a
Standing Reach comparable to a guy that is about 6'2 I would say if it is 8'1.5, then again he is 6'3.
Chase said on 27/Nov/18
His
Standing Reach is only 8’1.5 and hand length is only 8 inches. Both small measurements for a 6’4 guy who plays like he’s a forward lol. Not surprising at all that he didn’t come close to getting drafted.

My personal opinion is this,
Gelo: Either 6'3 or 6'3.25(6'3.25)
Melo: 6'4.25 maybe 6'4.5
Zo: 6'4.6
Lavar: I haven't looked into him that much but he is probably a high 6'3 or 6'4 flat
Ben Carpenter said on 15/Nov/18
Perfect listing!
W/O Shoes
Melo-6'4 1/2
Gelo-6'4
Lonzo-6'5
Lavar 6'4 1/2
Erik C. said on 12/Nov/18
I think that liangelo on a bad day could come to be 6-2 7/8ths barefoot and 6ft3 in socks. But on a good day could come out to as much as 6-3 1/4 to even 6-3 3/8ths. But the more i see him in vids, 6-3 1/2 just seems too high for him. Im not saying its impossible, these are just my estimates, but i personally feel he deserves a downgrade i feel like 6-4 is near impossible for him. 6-3 1/2 absolute max i'd say.
Its so difficult to pinpoint melo bc he's kinda all over the place, but id give him a decent 6-3 5/8ths to 6-4. The most id currently argue for melo is 6f4 1/4.
Lavar looks somewhere between gelo and melo, so maybe he's 6-3 1/2 rn currently. Zo id say looks a solid 6ft4.5 or a very decent 6ft4.66. So like amywhere from 6-4 1/2 to 6-4 3/4 for zo. But personally id peg him in the middle at 6-4 5/8ths or 6-4.6. But i think alot of us can agree that certainly gelo needs a minor downgrade to say the least and zo might need one too. But id agree that zo can kind of look 6ft5 range in some instances.
Canson said on 11/Nov/18
@Jackson: it’s possible he wore them for the measurement only or wore extra socks
I think Liangelo is 6’3
Jackson said on 9/Nov/18
Take away Liangelos hair and Lamelo is easily taller than him. Lamelo has really been growing lately. Most recent videos I’ve seen of them playing together and Lamelo looked 2 inches taller than liangelo.
Click Here
Jackson said on 31/Oct/18
@Christian
I suppose that’s true. It’s just hard for me to believe he’s wearing lifts during a pre draft workout. Seems uncomfortable and could hinder your athletic performance a bit. Anything’s possible though. I do definitely see him being visibly shorter than Lonzo.
Erik C. said on 31/Oct/18
@Jackson
Yea i was thinking about that and i thought it was at least probable that his bball sneaks might've given him 1.5-2 inch increments. I noticed bball sneaks and shoes such as nike and the shoes with the "Z" logo that i cant remember the name for the moment lol add decently thick and supportive insole. So he might be 6-3 - 6-3 1/2 in the morning at most and 6-2 1/2 - 6-3 ft at most at night. But even if gelo can be a tad under or over the 6ft 3, id say its not alot and id average him typically around the 6 foot 3 ranch on the dot. But yea i can understand if you are other ppl argue that he can clear the 6 ft 3 mark. But i cant see him being 6-4. Bc then you have to upgrade melo to like 6-4 -6-5 and lonzo to 6-5 1/2 - 6-6 which probably isnt the case given that lonzo was measured with a large fro and still barely made it to the 6 ft 6 mark
Gelo - 6 ft 3 1/8
Melo - 6ft 3 5/8thd - 6ft 3 3/4
Lonzo - 6ft 4.5 - 6 ft 4 5/8ths (maaybeee id generously give him a 6 ft 4 3/4 - 6ft 5 in on a good day)
Lavar - 6 ft 3 7/8ths - 6 ft 4 3/8ths
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 30/Oct/18
@Jackson
Damien Lillard measured 6'1.75" barefoot yet he looks around 6 feet tall. Some players wear lifts inside their shoes/socks, or some measurements are erroneous by an inch.
Jackson said on 27/Oct/18
He did measure 6’5 1/4” in shoes and proceeded to have a full pre draft workout afterwards so I don’t see how he could’ve worn lifts or anything suspicious... 6’4” seems believable because I’m not sure how he could be 6’3” range and reach 6’5 1/4” in shoes..
Erik C. said on 24/Oct/18
@Ellis
Yea, i mean, just look at
Gwendoline Christie. Firstly she seems quite honest about her height, but, in addition to that, her structure makes her appear far taller than she realistically is to me personally. Like if she claimed 6-4 a person would prob believe. Gwendoline christie gives 6-3 a GOOD name. Ppl like the Rock or Liangelo ball do NOT give 6-3 a good name in my opinion. If they even are that, bc, to me at least, liangelo looks a tad bit undersized for 6 ft 3. Let alone the hysterical 6-6 his dad claimed for him. Lol, there's more of a chance of Zo being 6 ft 7 than there is Gelo being 6 ft 4 1/2😂😂
Ellis said on 24/Oct/18
@Erik C: I completely agree, Gelo doesn't look lanky or tall at all, and those heights you have pegged I completely agree with that, except Zo is 6'4 and 5/8th(which you said) I would say, 6'4 3/8s is a little low. Liangelo to me is a little under 6'3, but he is not 6'3 I don't think so.
Erik C. said on 22/Oct/18
How i have the 3 ball brothers currently pegged.
1. Lonzo ball - 6-4 3/8ths - 6-4 5/8ths
2. Lamelo ball - 6-3 1/2 - 6-3 3/4 (haven't seen enough evidence that he's 6-4 1/4 yet)
3. Liangelo ball - 6-2 7/8ths - 6-3 1/4 ( idk if im being too generous but i would give gelo a fairly decent 6 ft 3 personally)
Erik C. said on 21/Oct/18
Ik some might consider this comment fairly rhetorical and or redundant but nonetheless there's an observation iv've made in regards 2 Gelo. Has anyone else noticed that no matter how tall gelo is he always looks fairly short. That's how it seems to me. Like If he really is indeed a hair over 6-3 on many ppl i think it they'd visually appear or be perceived as "tall". But i think that body porportions really contribute to if a person looks tall or not. Gelo looks very robust, compacted, not very distributed (even though many would argue he is), and sort of retains short and stout legs. Whereas you have lamelo, lean af, very long legs, a small head and a kind of short torso. I just thought its kinda interesting how even if melo has not yet outgrown gelo he still frankly appears taller (at least to me) thanks to his lanky body porportions..idk if that made any sense. But if it did, and you've noticed that too, leave an input commentary.
Canson said on 11/Oct/18
@Eric C: apparently Liangelo may not be even that tall. See my post from yesterday when it comes through

I am curious to know, do you think that LaMelo has already outgrown Gelo? Because I saw a couple images where it's too close to call between the two of them. Liangelo looks like he edged him out by a fraction but that's because he's got long hair and melo cut his.
But i myself peg lamelo at a strong 6'3.25 and liangelo at anywhere from 6-3 3/8ths - 6-3 5/8ths

I doubt it’s more than an inch between he and Zo. But a solid inch is feasible. Figure he’s 6’5.25 in shoes in the morning then he would be 6’4.75 in the afternoon meaning 6’3.5ish barefoot. So Rob had his listing but it’s a morning height. He’d be 6’3.5 by CH standards where as Zo would be 6’4.5 (6’5 morning height).

There's a chance of that.

6'3 5/8 might be closer than 6'4. Lonzo is probably 6'4 1/2 to 6'4 5/8 compare with LiAngelo.
