I though he was dead 6'. He always seems like a small dude on th court. I'll give him 6'1" maybe, but definitely no more than that.
Derek said on 9/Dec/06
Phil- Even a legit 6'3" guy will look short next to guys that are at least 6'6"-6'7".
Phil Davis said on 7/Dec/06
I have a bro that is around 6 ft 2 or 3. And I"m only 5 ft 10 1/2. I found out that Steve Nash (My favorite player) was 6 ft 2 or 3, I flipped! He looks tiny on TV, but in reality... He's taller than me!
BASKETBALL'S EINSTEIN said on 12/Nov/06
hey have ne of you guys who sed he's shorter ever considered the fact that you(personally) don't know the difference between someone 6'0 and 6'3. firstly u CANNOT estimate someone's height without standing next to them or seeing them compared to someone else. also i'm sure he is measured accurately opposed to you who prolly do it at home or some s*** like dat. di man 6'3 leave it at that! eva considered you might be taller than you think?
Alex said on 11/Nov/06
6'1 plus basketball shoes=about 6'2.5 then rounded up you get 6'3. Thats how he is listed at 6'3.

saw Nash at a radiohead concert in Vancouver some years ago - stood right by him (by the way, super nice guy, no ego, friendly) - was barely taller than me (5-10 1/2) so would put him at 6' tops
6 footer said on 9/Oct/06
steve nash 6-1 ?? oh no, i am afraid he might not even be 6-1 in his shoes for crying out loud
whenever he stood next to his fellow pg teammate leandro barbosa, barbosa always look to have at least
3 inches on him, and leandro is also listed at 6-3, which will make steve 6 flat at the most
this site should do a thread about leandro barbosa too, most people (all of you included) just didnt
realized that barbosa is perhaps the only one in the nba listed at his true height, barbosa looks
like a legit 6-3 guy.

How tall is Dirk Nowitzski? Around 7'0"?
Click HereCan't tell at all though in this pic though, because Dirk is leaning a lot, but it's a cool picture!

I'm looking at a photo of Steve Nash and Kobe Bryant standing nose to nose shouting at each other during their April 26, 2006 playoff game. The photo is by Paul Connors of the AP, and was published in April 27th Sports sections around the country, including the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Their noses are about 8" apart, and in the photo they look about the same height, with Kobe maybe slightly taller. Nash's eyes are actually higher than Kobe's, but Kobe is leaning forward a little more than Nash. Kobe Bryant is listed as 6' 6" or 6'7". There's no way Steve Nash is shorter than 6'3'', unless you think Kobe is shorter than 6'3".

they list him at 6'3 but hes roughly a head shorter than his team mate shawn marion(6-7) so id put him at 6-1 or 6-2 but hes still my favourite baller
yooooooo said on 24/Jul/06
stand beside him for quite a long time at his charity bball game in vancouver.
theres no way hes 6'3. 6'1 is probably correct
Nashty Lover said on 10/Jun/06
My comment makes no sense, I must have not been paying attention.
What I meant was he looked to be 6'2 1/2" with shoes and probably 6'1 1/2" without shoes.
Nashty Lover said on 8/Jun/06
I met and had a picture taken with Steve Nash before a round two playoff game. It was pre warm up and he had on regular athletic shoes, not basketball, and appeared to be 5 1/2 inches taller than me. Putting him at around 6'1/2". So, I would assume without shoes he's about 6' 1/2" feet tall.
(I have to say he was one of the nicest and most humble people I've ever met, great guy! And so much better looking in person, hubba hubba!)
michelleh said on 3/Jun/06
Click Herethis is in 2005 and he's standing next to basketball player steve nash. he looks a lot shorter than Nash, who people say is 6-1.
deepestvoice said on 2/Jun/06
well, Bill Walton has been around tall people people for a long time and he always goes overboard with his commentary. So I doubt he mistakes 6'1 for 5'11 but I don't know for sure. I'll have to look at more pictures.
Ozzy said on 2/Jun/06
Tony Parker is according to the french national team and his own web site: 6'1
deepestvoice said on 31/May/06
Monty, Tony Parker's not 6'2. Even Bill Walton said he was closer to 5'll. Steve Nash never looked 6'3 even though I do think he is at least 6'0.
CoolJ said on 24/May/06
Ozzy: Where's your source on Ridnour's pre-draft measurement.. I cant seem to find it.
Editor Rob
its listed on an nba.com draft page, 6ft 1 without shoes...
Ozzy said on 23/May/06
Again, using gettyimages as a source, there is a pic of nash and luke ridnour standing next to each other in a portrait shot. both are standing up straight. ridnour measured 6'1/185cm w/o shoes at the pre-draft camp and nash is visibly taller. I have nash at 187cm (6'1.75).
rj said on 19/May/06
Again, I met Steve Nash and IN HIS BASKETBALL SHOES he is 6'3".
J-Dog said on 16/May/06
6'1" and you have to give him proper respect for being able to play in a giants game.
D.J. said on 3/May/06
The man is no where near 6'3". To be honest, 6' is pushing it a little. He may not even be 6'.
CoolJ said on 1/May/06
Perhaps he did so jokingly.. (but there were no smiles or laughs) but Mike Greenberg referred to Steve Nash as being 5'9" on their radio show 5/1/06 at about 8AM EST. He was making reference to a Luke Walton/Steve Nash jump ball.
JT he's nowhere close to 6'3"
Click HereIf Finley is LISTED at a playing height (w/ shoes) of 6'7.. do you really think Nash is a legit 6'3? He's struggling with 6'0"
JT said on 14/Apr/06
Saw Nash last night with Craig Sager on TNT. Nash looked about 6'2" or 6'3" next to Sager, who's around 6'4" or 6'5".
a.aL said on 10/Apr/06
I agree, nash looks shorter than steve francis or gilbert.. if u watched games pheonix vs. orlando he was much shorter than francis. I give him 6'0 or at Max 6'1
Jason said on 24/Dec/05
Steve Nash is 6'3''? What's next? Allen Iverson is 6'2''?
CoolJ said on 24/Dec/05
Tony Parker and Ridnour are well under their listed heights..
I've heard two professional eyewitnesses say nash was 6'0 even.
http://images.absolutenow.com/poster/Steve_Nash/10114180.jpg
Finley is about 6'6 barefoot. (6'7 listing).. He EASILY has 6" on Nash.
Nash is 6'1 MAX... 6' is likely I do believe.
Ozzie said on 13/Nov/05
More suprised with 6'9 Jamison in this pic. Yes I know he is standing a bit back, but still?
CoolJ said on 12/Nov/05
jimmyboy69: Not a chance jimmy boy
http://images.absolutenow.com/poster/Steve_Nash/10114180.jpg
Finley is 6'7ish WITH shoes.. so you figure out what Nash is barefoot.
Jimmyboy69 said on 11/Nov/05
ON average, basketball players are like 6'5"-6'7" but Steve Nash is definitely 6'3"
T-B said on 25/Oct/05
Nash was listed at 188cm (6-2) at the 98 WC in Greece. The same listings had Magloire at 208cm (6-10), not 6-11. (See also the Jordan and Iverson forums).
phast said on 24/Sep/05
Nba players' heights are all over the place. I have worked for many summer camps at my university's gym and some players match their listed height and some don't. Never met Nash but he does look way shorter than 6'3. I know that both Quentin Richardson and Richard Hamilton are about 2" shorter than their listed height but Desmond Mason of the Bucks was around 2" taller. He was w/ the sonics when I met him and would say he's close to 6'7. He's listed as 6'5 but towered over me and I'm 6'3 even. I don't understand overlisting a player's height...it doesn't make you play taller. My school's point guard last year, Joe Sea is listed 6' and is more around 5'9.
Bigg said on 18/Aug/05
yeah this other girl told me she like met him and that he was like tall but not like wow tall she said he's like 6"1...she was still surprised because he looks short on tv...so did I and alot of ppl thought that...when there like looking on tv.. and I was like he's listed at 6"3....but he probably lied.. but i think he's 6 foot barefoot in my opinion
Bigg said on 18/Aug/05
soo Steve Nash is 6"1 barefoot or is that with shoes on? because my old friend saw him in a game and said he was 6"1 but told me this other kid in my class was taller than him and he's like 6"2 barefoot probably 6"3 with shoes on....but no one really looks at a person and downgrade considering there shoes are on...sometimes
CoolJ said on 7/Aug/05
Guess Mr. Amir was right.
Amir said on 27/Jul/05
I play basketball in my homeland Turkey in underage leagues. i meet Nash last year, he is my idol. We stand at the same height, I am officially 184.5cm
Viper652 said on 29/Jun/05
Sean May is 6-7 barefoot
CoolJ said on 29/Jun/05
They are measured with shoes on.
Nash is only about 6', maybe a little over.. I'm not sure why the Editor didnt knock him down more based on the picture posted before.

Ball-A-Hallic said on 28/Jun/05
Just like they do in the NBA draft which i've been watchin 2nite they boost a player up by 1 inch like Sean May was 6'81/4 they boosted him up to 6'9 so Nash was probally 6'21/4 n boosted up to 6'3 althought he doesnt look it but then again they r probally measured wit shoes on
Cool J said on 21/Jun/05
He doesnt "quite look like" 6'1.5" barefoot either. This guy isn't even 6'1.
Ball-A-Hallic said on 12/Jun/05
Steve looks like he's 6'1 or 6'1.5 I disagree he's 6'3 jus like Steve Francis and Gilbert Arenas there listed at 6'3 and neither look over 6'0 or 6'1 sp theose 3 r probally all under 6'2
JS said on 10/Jun/05
Wow, I think 187cm is a reach. Do you REALLY think he's 6'1.5" barefoot in that picture below judging that Finley is right around 6'7 with shoe son?
JCS said on 7/Jun/05
I'd say we can safely downgrade him to at least 6'1... probably even 184cm.
Hooleyman said on 7/Jun/05
I saw him in a bar in Victoria, Canada (where he grew up) and I'd guess he's about 6'1" since he was a bit taller than than my 6' buddy he was standing next to.
Mr. R said on 6/Jun/05
For years, I have looked at this guy, and he was always just shrimped by everyone on the court, even some of the refs and commentators. I knew 6-3 was a lie, and I recently saw something that said 6 foot. My guess is he is between 6-0 and 6-1 at best!
Ball-A-Hallic said on 6/Jun/05
I agree that Nash is like 6'0 possibly 6'1 u can jus tell he's not 6' he's never looked over 6'0 2 me.
JCS said on 6/Jun/05
It is widely known Steve Nash is well under this listed height.
http://www.ibiblio.org/craig/draft/1996_draft/scout/pg.html#Nash
Although unofficial, this document lists him at 6'1", however Mike Greenberg and Tony Kornheiser have both stated he is 6 foot even (as they both proclaimed to be 6 foot and saw him at eye level.
I have seen him listed at 6'0 3/4" before, so I would say thats a fair guess.
