did deandre grow a few inches. i swear he looks like a giant compared to dwight

Dwight is like 6'9 without shoes.dwight never has been a 7 footer. I guess lakers fans forgot that wen they shipped bynum out. Dwight is a poor mans ben wallace

DJ has grown maybe half an inch or an inch so he's probably around 6'11 barefoot or close to. At the combine he measured at 6'10 barefoot. Another thing that makes DJ seem taller than he is... is his shoulders sit freakishly high on his body. Also helps that he has the 2nd biggest wingspan and standing reach in the NBA after McGee. The dude has a standing reach of over 9'6". Which obviously means he's just a few inches shy of being able to grab the rim from the ground.

To give you an idea Dwight has a massive wingspan himself and only has a 9'2" standing reach, a whopping 4 inches less.

Currently yes. If Dwight gets right from the surgery, he might be more athletic again than DJ.

I've said Dwight is the 3rd most athletic centre after Magee + DJ and they are both bigger than him.

When Dwight was fully healthy, he used to completely obliterate McGee and Jordan despite being shorter and having the length disadvantage. That's because he's both more athletic but also much stronger than either player.

DeAndre and Javale are from Wilt's own seed

Also, as low as it is compared to other players, Dwight's basketball IQ is higher than both those boneheads.

Dwight isnt that short, you dummies

[IGotACoolStory]

McGee is easily the most athletic center (player?) in the league.

Everyone else looks like injured Sabonis.

I always laugh when I see the last pic with Coach K covering Dwight's shoes. Nike owns!
