6'11' without shoes ( over 7 feet tall in his sneaker).

This. Duncan was listed at 7'0" for a good chunk of his career, mostly during the twin tower years with Robinson. Many NBA players are listed in shoes or flat out lie about their heights so Duncan is a legit 7 footer by NBA standards which is why the OP thinks he looks taller than listed. With that being said, it's not like you can really tell the difference between 6'11" and 7'0", and considering Duncan's long arms it's really a negligible difference.

Magic is more like 6'5" but yeah, you're righty although the players aren't the ones fudging their heights , it's the league or the team. It starts in high school and goes from there.

i agree that NBA players add am inch or two to their height, but Magic is NOT 6'5. He is 6'7 barefoot dont exaggerate.

[Burgz V2]

oh and to answer the OP he's 6'11

Duncan isn't 7 foot. It sounded better with Robinson so they could be the "Twin Towers." Same with Hakeem and Ralph Sampson.

Not sure what it has to do with how well they play basketball though.

KG and Duncan are both 6'11.something".

This reminds me. Has anyone else noticed that everytime Lebron get's talked about in the Media they say he's a little bit taller and a little bit heavier. I literally hear people say he's 6'9 270 now and "The exact same size as Karl malone"... Are you effing high? If we keep letting this go by the time he retires The media will be saying he's 8'10 12,000 lbs

Yes he is 6'11. The issue is that most of the people who list themselves as 7footers really aren't that tall.

Allow me to pull back the curtain.

Jordan is 6'5
Dwight is 6'9
Melo is 6'6
Chris paul is 5'11
Kevin love is 6'8
Spencer hawes is 6'10
Nash is 6'1
Magic is 6'7
lebron is 6'7 (Not 100% on this one since he was so young when measured)



90% of all nba players fudge their height. There are a few who are listed at their real height. Shaq, Durant, Garnett Duncan,

corrected.

This is true.

[Whoah10115]

That's the joke. It doesn't matter how tall he is. Not one single person will think different of him if his height isn't exactly what it's listed as.

Fair enough. I agree.

LeBron was measured at 6'7.25" as an 18 yrs.old NBA Rookie. I think he's now a legit 6'8". (69.25" while wearing his latest shoes.)

LBJ and 6'3".75" Dwyane Wade

It's certainly possible although just as an anecdote I think it's fair to point out that that is the most common excuse nba players give for their difference in draft measurement height and their listed height and it's almost never true... Paul George stands out as solitary example. I personally stopped growing when I was 16 and nobody I know ever grew past 18. It can happen for sure, but it's pretty uncommon.

That said he doesn't look taller at all to me. Definitely bulkier but the claims of 260-270 lbs seem like an exaggeration. Blake Griffin is listed at 251 and even if that's not right it cant be too far off and he's bulkier and taller than lebron.

6'11"

Yes he is 6'11. The issue is that most of the people who list themselves as 7footers really aren't that tall.

Allow me to pull back the curtain.

Jordan is 6'4

Chris paul is 5'11
Kevin love is 6'8
Spencer hawes is 6'10

I like how you listed Spencer Hawes with all those superstars

[SacJB Shady]

It's obvious that Duncan is top ten in heights
