Tim Duncan's standing reach was crazy
I'm always amazed when watching him how little he had to jump to dunk the ball. There's no official measurement but I'd estimate his standing reach to be somewhere between 9'5" to 9'7". He's shorter than a lot of people realize, clocking in at around 6'10" barefoot.

I doubt he's 6-10 barefoot, maaybe when he first came into the league, but he always looks solid when next to near 7 footers. He slouches a lot too.

Celebheights and Jonathan Givony (DraftExpress guy) both have Tim at 6'10" barefoot.
The Spurs’ statement on Duncan’s height in 1997 was "Duncan was listed at 6 feet 10 inches his senior year at Wake Forest. When we measured him at the pre-draft camp in Chicago, he was 6-11 1/2. The fact that he is 21 indicates that he might grow even more.”
I personally believe this was exaggerated and Duncan in reality is more likely closer to 6'10" barefoot.

Bruh all their heights are exaggerated. NBA heights are all exagerrated.
How many times do people need to be told this??

Bill Walton is the only big man I can think of that was actually taller than his listed height.

Re: Tim Duncan's standing reach was crazy
He wasn't a true-true 7 footer that's for sure, maybe 6-11 by NBA measurements, which are all exaggerated.
No doubt his overall physique was that of a center though. Someone like Garnett, you couldn't say he was a proper center, but Duncan was.

Def a 7 footer. And def a Center and not a PF.

Re: Tim Duncan's standing reach was crazy
In the last 20-30 years, almost all NBA players measured in shoes. Everyone is about an inch shorter barefoot. Shaq is 7'0'', Duncan is 6'10''. This isn't exactly news.
Anyways, Duncan is really underrated as an athlete. A huge almost 7 footer with a great vertical reach as OP, very quick for his size, and also super strong. Duncan was basically a C playing PF and was a tough match-up. If he didn't play in an era of Shaq, more people would be talking about his strength. Someone like KG had no chance handling Duncan down low.
