    Default I can't tell how tall Tracy McGrady is.

    I've seen listings of anywhere from 6'6" to 6'9", and he looks different every time I see him. I can't get a read off of still pictures or moving footage and he's got a big upper body but really skinny legs and huge, puffy looking feet.

    Also, Shane Battier. Seen listings from 6'7" to 6'10". Can't tell.

    Everywhere I see, McGrady is listed as 6'8". Not sure though...

    Dude... you're never gonna get any closure from any hunt for an NBA player's height.

    Yup. Lots of the listings are just plain wrong. They exaggerate the size (both height and weight) on a lot of players, too. Not only that, but we don't know if he is being measured in shoes or bare-foot. I've heard people call him 6'7 and 6'10. I've always known him as 6'8. It's not like it really matters tho...

    Yea, but he came out of high school so he probably grew for like an inch or 2 after that...

    Maybe, I never grew after 16 or so. Of course plenty of other people grew 9 inches between 18-20. I don't really see why people are so caught up on height anyway. I mean I can look at a player and tell if he's tall enough to play his position in the NBA, I don't need a measurement to the nearest millimeter.

    Yea, i am 20 now and i didn't grow after 16-17 either, but i am fine with my height ( 6 feet ). And i guess people just want to find out the players heights out of curiosity...

    People should try to get around NBA players more....see them up close. I think they would be surprised at how tall (or short) these players really are.

    I've seen AI at the mall, I saw his body guard before i knew it was him, he was x3 the size of AI. AI is a legitimate 5'10, he's nowhere close to 6 feet.

    And people will still make a thread on here saying he is 6'1-6'2. Sometimes, the best way to tell is comparing your height to the person.
