Could Shaq actually be 6'10"?

[ErhnamDjinn]

I think you are on to something




Shaq is a legit 6'8

[Lebron23]

next to "6'10" Stoudemire. Really though, this thread is stupid.
Shaq is 7ft at least. OP, are you by any chance a big Shaq hater fka giantgonzolez?



lol at Nash's hair.

Amare is 6'9.25" The Op is another sock account of giantgonzales. If Shaq is 6'10" it also means that Nash is 5'10" because Shaq is a foot taller than him.

DANM! Is Yao Ming 6'8 or is T-mac 7'5?


God damn i think Op just discovered something here

Staredown pics are the most useful. This T-Mac pic is obviously useless.
MMA Shane Carwin is listed @ 6'5", but his staredown pics proved that he's really about 6'1". He wore sneakers and a baseball hat to try and fool people into thinking that he was 6'5", but it was an EPIC fail and people could see that 6'3" Frank Mir was taller than him.

newsflash. people strink as they age.

I really don't care how tall a player is. Even if Shaq ere only 6'10" he was still a damn good basketball player. If he's actually only 6'10" (which I think we all know he's a legit 7 footer) does that make him a worse or better player in your eyes? I mean really?

Paul Wight actually is 7 feet even barefoot. He was billed at 7-4 in WCW and 7-2 in WWE originally. Then he went on some interview I believe ABC and they asked him tall he was and he said himself he was 7-1.

They asked him if they could measure him and he agreed. His real height turned out to be 7 feet barefoot. So he is indeed 7 feet barefoot.

Now to the pictures you posted Wight and Shaq are indeed the same height in those pics. However if you will closely you will notice that Wight is wearing boots. So Wight gains an extra inch of height making him appear 7-1.

So that means Shaq is indeed 7-1 barefoot.

So what you're saying is that the WWE is actually giving real listed heights now? I really do find that to be a pretty though pill to swallow.
I've always heard that you have to subtract 2 to 4 inches and 50 to 100lbs to get the real height and weight of a pro wrestler.

They were caught lying so many times that in some cases they stopped exaggerating. However they still add about 2 inches in height to most guys. If you will notice ever since the government forced steroid testing on them, most of the wrestlers have lost huge amounts of weight.

[Lakas Fan Yo]

Yes,

Sometimes the WWE don't exaggerate their wrestlers heights. I believe Hulk Hogan was a legit 6'6" when he was younger.

WWE (then WWF) billed Hogan at 6-8. WCW billed him at 6-7. Hogan has been actually measured at 6-3. According to Hogan he had two back surgeries which cost him 2 inches of height. Whether that is legit or he is just lying who knows? But either way it means he was never taller than 6-5 at the most.

If you wonder, Andre The Giant was billed at 7-4 by WWE (then WWF) and he was actually measured at 7-0 1/2. I forget exactly who measured him but he was actually measured officially at 7-0 1/2. But his disease started to shrink him as he got older and when he died he was more like 6-10.

[Lakas Fan Yo]

Not this again...

Americans still haven't even learned to use the metric system yet for heights. It's quite hilarious really.

[clipps]

What is with these threads comparing height? Such a pointless topic.

[824]

Americans still haven't even learned to use the metric system yet for heights. It's quite hilarious really.

Yea let's use the metric system for just heights, that wouldn't be even more confusing. And what the **** does using the metric system have to do with this topic at all? If you use the metric system, are all measurements of players accurate? Idiot.

[boozehound]

you are retarded. First, have you ever watched shaq on the court? Hes clearly taller than 6'10". Second, in your photo, WWE dude is wearing shoes with a much bigger heel than shaq.
