Kevin Durant is taller than Anthony Davis: Confirmed 6'11-7ft

[chips93]

It explains why some insist he's 6'11" since a lot of NBA players seem to be listed around their height in shoes.

id say its pretty much every player is listed as their 'in shoes' height, as their official height.

Nah, plenty don't. Duncan used to, but now he's listed at his real height of 6'11" since about '04 or '05. Shortly after Robinson retired.

There's plenty if you look at draftexpress such as Shaq, Durant, Garnett, Wade, Grant Hill, Ray Allen, Vince Carter and Alonzo Mourning to name a few that are listed at their real heights. I'm convinced Gasol and Bynum are both taller than the 7'0" they're listed at as well. Pierce and Bosh were others until their listings oddly got boosted in the last few years.

The one I've never understood is John Starks saying he's 6'2" when he's listed 6'5". What kind of listing is that? Platform shoes?

I specifically remember someone pointing this exact same thing out to you in a Charles Barkley height thread (I think) where you were using pictures to prove your point. You may have gone back and acknowledged your mistake in not taking footwear into consideration, but I'm finding it a bit ironic that you're now calling someone else out for the same thing.

Anyway, Duran't isn't 7-feet tall. He might be pushing 6'11" in shoes and right at 6'10" w/o shoes, but he's not a legit 7-feet tall. Why does it matter anyway? Why do we need a thread about this every week or two?

i said that because you can't just determine who's taller with 1 picture.

i've studied hundreds of barkley pics/videos just for fun. depends on era, barkley's footwear is anywhere from 1 inch to 1 3/4 inch lift. his air maxes in 90's were pretty thick.

i never say so and so is 6ft 8 or 6ft 9. i never give a definite number because we will never know.

most likely durant is anywhere from 6ft 9 to 6ft 9 1/2. we will never know. one thing is certain is that he is over 6ft 9 since he was measured at 6ft 9

BTW, I think Dirk might be a little taller than 7'0. He's noticeably taller than Pau Gasol who is a legit 7 footer.

false. i posted in other thread that these listed heights are all over the place

I don't get Thunder fans obsession with this though. IMO when you inflate a players height it actually works against them. If we are going to say he's a legit 7 footer then we can ask why he's not rebounding more than 7 per game etc. Let him stay at his true height of 6'10 ish and leave it alone.

Says the dude who would eat a pack of skittles out of any Clipper player's butt hole.

[noosaman]

So Durant is 7 feet but cannot post up 6'2'' dudes? LOL

[coin24]

WTF is with the height obsession on this board??

I couldnt care less if Durant is 6'11" or 7 feet tall... Why does it bother some of you that much? I agree, Durant couldnt post up against a SG so whats the difference how tall he is. He plays out on the perimeter...

Um .. most thunder fans dont even care. Apart from this instance, most of the times its fans from other teams posting it.

I, as a thunder fan, dont even care. The topic is over-talked and pretty meaningless.

[Living Being]

Wow, 6 PAGES!

This is just a topic about Durant being taller than Unibrow?

Obviously there are no facts here, because you can't argue against facts, and we have 6 pages of arguing here.

[turnaroundJ]

I don't know if KD is taller, but damn Davis' strength potential dwarfs his. Look at those broad shoulders. He's gonna fill out his frame pretty well, something that Durant won't be able to do.

[JohnnySic]

KD is 6'10" and change in shoes. He isn't a 7-footer no matter how you look at it.

Now cut the crap.

He's 6'10 w/o shoes, 6'11 with shoes.

[Lebron23]

Paul Gasol is actually listed at 7'0.5" in Europe. Bosh said that he's a legit 6'11" (7'0.25" in shoes).
