I know not terribly scientific, but still....Yao looks ALOT bigger than Shaq here.
Shaq is much closer to 7"0 than to 7"1 anyway - he was being listed taller as most of them were really for marketing and intimidation purposes

Yes, '7"1 in shoes' as I said before, or 7" without. I'm assuming they're both at their listed NBA heights here wearing shoes, and it looks like much more than 5 inches in height difference. If there is a legit 5 inch difference the top of Shaq's head should be lined up with Yao's eye brows, not the bottom of his ears.

Sim Bhullar is listed at 7'5 and even though he's leaning a bit, this is still closer in line with how I would expect Shaq to look compared to Yao based on their official measurements.

Re: Real NBA Height
So, I just found a single site with a list of all the tallest basketball players of all time. While no Celtics made the list entirely, you should still find it to be an interesting read. Manute Bol was the highest NBA player ever, 7'7 behind, with Sultan Kosen the highest player in the WORLD, 7'11!!!
Gheorghe Mureșan is the living legend with same height as that of Bol.
