@Mark they are definitely pretty inaccurate.You have Kobe Bryant who is supposed to be 6'4.75" barefoot and Ricky Rubio who is supposed to be 6'4".
I would say Kobe Bryant: min 6'5" ,Rubio: max 6'2".

No Matthew juging from the angle and distance the both have from the cam, Kevin is 6 11.75 Odyssey.

That has to be a joke. 6'10.5" max in that picture. I'm sure he's taller than that in reality, he's not under 6'11". I'd give him anything 6'11" - 6'11.5", 6'11.25" seems likely.

Matthew, he was standing in the back. Shaq was standing in front. that is why shaq looked taller.

He wasn't standing THAT far behind him. KG looks 6'10.5" MAX there if we figure Shaq at 7'1". I say he's losing a small bit of height there, but he's no 6'11.75". He's a half inch shorter than that at most. 6'11" - 6'11.25" range.

I could swear Shaq said on Howard Stern that he isn't a legit 7feet and that NBA players always give themselves a couple extra inches when it comes to height.

Rob, KG can't be 6'11.75". Just look at him next to Shaq who is 7'1":

That looks more like 6 cm than 3 cm to me. I say KG is no less than a legit 6'11", likely even as high as 6'11.25". But he's closer to 6'11" than he is 7'0", that much is evident seeing him stand next to Shaq and Yao.

Shaq is 7'2", notice how Larry Bird is not listed on this site? Because he is a legit 6'9" guy and Majic was taller than him and Rob has Majic listed at the rediculously low height of 6'7" here! Always takes their heights and chops off an inch or two with no real proof aside from the odd photo to justify.

Kg was measured 6'11 barefoot and 7'1 with shoes before the 95 draft. Since then hes grown to 6 ft 11.75 in (213 cm). He could've been listed 7'1 if he wanted to but didn't want to be considered a 7footer, because he was afraid of being forced to play center. Nba listings are never accurate since u can never know if they used the height in shoes or barefoot. I.e. Kevin durant is listed at 6'9 while dwight howard is listed at 6'11, even though they were both measured at 6'9 barefoot and 6'10~6'10.25 with shoes before the draft.

the NBA measures their players with shoes ON, since on the court while playing their shoes are ON, take into account they also round up the halves, and round down the .4 and down, then different types of shoes AND shoe sizes give minimal height gains ONTOP of the average 1" - 1.5" gain. The definition of legit height in the NBA is always going to be unclear, since some people consider barefoot legitimate while others say no one plays basketball barefoot, the shoe factor is the legitimate height.

Garnett was fully 6'11" barefoot in the '95 Draft at age 19, and old Minneapolis newspapers have articles on his growth afterward. His WP article has some good sources for his current listing (which is accurate, perhaps slightly low, even) for those who think he should be lowered.

Ridiculous saying Tim Duncan is 6'10. He's often been questioned about his height, which he most likely listed at 6'11 because he didn't want to play back to the basket the same way KG, Dirk and Walton probably did it. He calls himself 6'12 and that may be an understatement. If hes 6'10 he's the tallest 6'10 to ever exist

Seeing boston games, Shaq and Garnett look pretty much identical in terms of height on the court. However, Shaq's more slouched and large and Garnett's thin and broad. Garnett never looks deciecively shorter than anyone else on the court, so I'd say 7'0.25 barefoot is a good measurement for Garnett, Here's a video of him next to 6'11 Rasheed Wallace and he clearly looks a good 1-2 inches taller, i think that is enough evidence to suggest that Garnett is 7 foot+ Click Here

On gettyimages there are a few clear pictures showing Duncan next to Russell.
I think the two of them are close in height, the difference being no more than 1 inch.
How Tim Duncan could get listed at 7' for many years remains a mistery.
Kevin Garnett is certainly taller than Duncan.

If you compare the Yao/Mutumboaand Yao/Garnett photos in the links below, KG stacks up pretty well against the 7'1" (measured barefoot) Mutumbo. I wouldn't put him at anything below 7' based on those.

Why, if you are 6'11 and some quarters, you didn't look that much taller than Bill Russell in the ALL STAR GAME ? You even had a shoe advantage as Bill had regular shoes. Bill Russell had a nice career in the NBA.
Tim Duncan didn't look much taller than LBJ either. Duncan in most pictues looks at least 6'10", but in other moments he looks a little shorter. Amazingly, he was listed at 8' feet for most of his career.

Garnett was measured 6'11.5 barefeet, but he didn't wanna be listed 7, cause he didn't wanna play center. Lamar is not 6'10, he comes close to 6'9.5.

Odom is widely thought to be a legit 6'10", at worst he's 6'9" and some say he's 6'11". Garnett is no less than 3 inches taller.

i think the nba should remeasure everyone because there is such a confusion. go to draft express (google it) gives you all the measurement history in the nba and over 60% say they are 2 inches taller than they are. stupid. kobe is no way 6 foot 6, i met him when i flew down to watch the finals and i was the same height(6 foot 4). Whereas KG was just insane, easy 7 foot +

Interesting, Paolo but the Spurs claimed Duncan's measurement of 6'11.5" was barefoot although I think they are lying. Duncan at 6'10.25" or 6'10.5" sounds right. I believe Dirk is 6'11.5" barefoot.

Eyes and internet rumors...not much!
Duncan at 6'11 1/2 was a predraft measurement from San Antonio workout (they don't specificated with or without shoes), in a tv interview Duncan declared "6'10 and change", from these info (and some internet photo), i've supposed that he is 6'10 1/4 (or 1/2) barefoot and 6'11 1/2 in shoes.
Nowitzki in DJK Wurzburg(96/98) was listed at 209 then in his rookie season the Mavs sayed that he gro and in photo always seems a bit taller then Duncan but never 7 feet. Conclusion he can be everywhere around 6'11 only the tape knows the truth

I measure 6' 3 1/4 barefooted. In my new Jordan shoes I measured 6' 4 1/2. gained 1.25". KG is definitely 6' 11". With his shoes I'm real sure he is over 7'0" I have seen both KG and Shaq in person. In fact KG nearly landed in my lap diving after a loose ball back in 1999 in a pre season game. I was amazed at how tall and lanky he is. If you have ever looked at the thickness of Shaq's shoes, you can see there is a good chance they add 1.5 to 2.0 inches to his 7' 1" stature. Almost all NBA players 6'7" and under, their listed heights are with shoes. So if a guy is listed at 6'5", you can bet he is roughly 6'3 1/2 barefooted.

Good video Imate50. Gasol looks less than an inch taller than Garnett. I've heard Gasol was measured 214.4 or 214.5 cm barefoot which equals 7'0.5". By the way Milicic was measured 6'11.5" barefoot.
Garnett is clearly 6'11.75" like he's claimed twice.

That's right Anonymous. Russell doesn't seem to have lost much height from his 6'9.5" peak height. Garnett also is listed below his height for a reason. He hates the 7 foot label so if anyone is listed below their actual height it's him. KG is probably 6'11.5"/6'11.75" and at worst 6'11". I wouldn't be shocked if Garnett was a hair over 7'0" either.

Anyone see that comerical with Pierce and Bill Russell? Russell (6'9" - 6'9.5" peak height) was taller than Pierce by about 4.5" - 5". Garnett is a couple inches taller than Russell meaning even if Pierce is only 6'5" Garnett may still be 6'11" - 7'. I really don't think KG is 7'+ but he may be one of the rare players who is fractionally taller than his listing.

More evidence that he's atleast 6'11 3/4".
From an October 3rd, 1997 article in the St. Paul Pioneet Press.
A Wolves source said Garnett's height was measured at 7 feet, 1 inch, an
indication that he's still growing.
Later in the article this was included.
Since coming to the Wolves in 1995, Garnett has
resisted
being officially listed at 7 feet out of fear the coaching staff
will move him to center.
The 7'1" measurement was probably in shoes so that backs up KG at 6'11 3/4". That also explains again why he isn't listed at 7 feet.
Timberwolves GM Kevin McHale said Garnett is 6'11 1/2". Here is his quote from an April 30th article in the St. Paul Pioneer Press
``Kevin is so unique. He's 6-11 1/2 and quick as a cat.
So there you have it. He's 6'11 1/2" or 6'11 3/4" and I have the sources to prove it.

^First of all shawn marion looks like a muppet. Second of all if you look at how his head sits on his shoulders, its like 3-4 inches shorter than most players, his chin sits at about his collar bone, now look at chris Bosh, he has a neck of a giraffe. in conclusion marions useful body parts (shoulders and arms) sit where the average 6'10" players would be, thats why he can play the way he does, he should be listed as a 6'9" or 6'10"^
Good point...Maron's got high shoulders and his seem pretty long too so he should be more like a 6,9" person on the court rather than his listed height of 6,7" (i think his Standing Reach is pretty close to 9 feet). same goes with kendrick perkins. Although Perkins (6,10 barefoot) is shorter than Garnett (6,11 barefoot) in head height, Perkin's got a very short neck (but Garnett does not) and his wingspan is also much longer (at nearly 7,7" eek) so he can play taller than Garnett due to his greater Standing Reach (which i believe is about a freakish 9,4 1/2!). Kendrick is also much stronger (or at least it appears that way) than Garnett and with his greater length he plays center instead of Garnett.

KG is slightly closer to the camera but even considering that he looks over 7 feet there. I think 6'11.75" is accurate for Garnett

Ostertag was 7-foot even at the pre-draft camp. draftexpress.com has got measurements from the camps in 91-07, minus 96, 97, and 99.

I always thought Ostertag looked closer to 7'1" or 7'2" on the court but you can't judge height that well during games. I was also never really trying to estimate Ostertag's height either.
He looks 7'0" in these pictures.

Since Ostertag is only an inch shorter than Shaq it's not strange that he looks as tall. It's very difficult to estimate to the exact inch when they are on the court.

Garnett's lean frame can make him look at least 7'0-7'1 but I think he's minimum 6'11-6'11.5.

The facts about Garnett's height
Garnett is always estimated between 7'0"-7'2"
He seems uncomfortable about his height but has claimed 6'11.75" in 1996 and 2007
He was already measured 6'11" right out of highschool
He has also claimed 6'12"

I'll let my links do the talking. Many people believe Garnett to be over 7 feet but I believe him to be just under at 6-11.75 like KG himself claims. He is a minimum 6'11" because he was measured that height by the NBA in 1995. All of that information is in the links provided.

As you could see in the third link requested not to be listed 7 feet because he thinks the Wolves would make him play center. He's also explained in recent years that he wants to be thought of as a versatile player and thinks that if he's listed 7 feet people will consider him only a post player.
In the 4th link you can see he is reluctant to admit he is even 6-11 3/4 at first saying he's 6-11 before finally saying 6-11 3/4.
KG saying he's "6 foot 12" also backs up that he is closer to 7 feet than 6'11" but doesn't like being thought of as 7 feet.
KG has at times tried to downgrade his height to the point where it got laughable. He even once claimed to be 6'10.5"

Pretty much KG is widely considered 7'1" around the NBA and that's because at 6-11 3/4 barefoot he would be 7'1" in shoes which is how most players are listed. His thin frame can give the illusion of 7'2" I'd think.
Pretty much it's obvious he is atleast 6-11 3/4. If he hates being thought of as 7 feet I highly doubt he'd like to make himself seem taller. Garnett is now a minimum 6-11 3/4.

I've heard various times that KG though listed at 6'11'' is really 7'0'' - 7'2'' from gurus around the NBA. He's played a variety of positions (from SF-PF-C) in his career so that may have a factor in his height listing. Also, his wingspan is very long so it may be a factor as well.

Truth? Well Shaq has claimed 7'1" twice and the Chicago Camp had his measurement at 7'1" and measurements were only barefoot back then(they added the shoes measurement after several players complained when they measured under their listed heights).
I'm sorry but I don't see anyway how the Chicago Camp released fake measurements, Shaq would lie about his height when he's that tall and he could look like a legit 7'2" guy even with big footwear.

Yes, even if he is officially listed as a 7-footer after all these considerations I assume that Bargnani is 211 cm barefoot.
Next to Garnett he was really the same height, taller only thanks to his thick straight hair-style...
Anyway if Bargs is considered a 7-footer so should be KG to me...
Maybe KG refuses to consider himself a 7-footer because that could some-way affect the consideration people have on his way of playing...

Bosh was only 19 when he measured 6'10.25" so it's possible he grew although I haven't heard anything about it myself.
KG looks clearly taller than Bosh so 6'11.75" sounds accurate.
KG was already 6'11" at 19 when he was drafted so he's nothing under 6'11" and probably the 6'11.75" he claims.

Enrico: Bargniani was listed at 209cm/6'10.5 in Europe, 7'0 in the NBA with shoes on. Same height as Bosh w/o shoes, only Bosh uses his w/o shoes listing as his official listing, rounded down to 6'10, for unknown reasons... If KG looked the same height as Bargniani I would say it argues for him not being a 7-footer, although probably a bit taller than B.

Everyone can rule out anything below 6'11" because he was measured at that height straight out of highschool and here are too links to prove that.

So because KG was already 6'11" in 1995 barefoot it's impossible he's anything udner that because he did not shrink. KG's claim of 6'11.75" is probably very accurate for a few reasons.
1.He looks it next to other NBA Players
2.Everyone around the NBA is convinced he's 7'1" or 7'2".

As wrong as "Shaq is 6-11 barefoot's name is he's actually making some pretty good posts.
Duncan is 6'10.5" barefoot I believe and I know he is 6'11.5" in shoes. Not sure about the barefoot height for Tim but I heard it a while ago said to be from the 97' pre-draft camp and it seems accurate.
6'11.5" in shoes makes sense for Duncan because the NBA could have been rounding up for his 7'0" listing his first 8-9 years and now rounding down his shoes height or rounding up his barefoot height for the 6-11 listing.

Reasons why 6'11.75" makes the most sense.
1.Since almost everyone in the NBA says Garnett is 7'1" 6'11.75" barefoot would put him right at 7'1" in shoes which is what most people in the NBA go by.
2.He was already 6-11 at 19 years old and it's not hard to believe a very tall skinny teenager who looked to be still growing grew another .75"
3.No reason for KG to try to make himself seem taller because he likes to seem shorter than he is
4.Garnett usually looks 6'11.75" atleast
5.The "6-12" claims could be 6-11 3/4" rounded up
Kevin Garnett should be upgraded to 6'11.75" or maybe a note at the top of the page stating his "6-11 and some quarters" claim.

Garnett is same height of Bargnani who is a true 7-footer, I saw them together in last year Europe Live Tour in Rome, Garnett next to the big Italian was about the same height, slightly shorter only because he has no hair, but they are the same, so I assume Garnett is a true 7-footer, because Bargnani is a True 7-footer.

As for Garnett having more than 5" on Pierce that may be because Garnett was already 6'11" without shoes when he was drafted and he has grown. He said his height as "6-11 and some quarters". KG is a solid 6'11.75" now.
5. MINNESOTA-Kevin Garnett, Chicago Farragut Academy. They're trying to dump Christian Laettner and J.R. Rider. This 18-year-old is talented, 6 feet 11 in stocking feet and seems a great cornerstone for a rebuilding project. Says one personnel director, "You could make a case for him going No. 1."

Garnett- 6'11.75"
Russell- 6'9.5"(peak height)
Pierce- 6'6"
Allen- 6'3.5"
Pierce actually measured 6'6" barefoot when he was drafted. He is now listed 6'7" by the NBA.
Below is an article that has some of the 1998 pre-draft measurements and also I put a link to Pierce's nba.com page. I've heard 6'9.5" peak height for Russell too.

If Russell was 6'9'' then Pierce is a legitimate 6'6'' as Russell is no more than three inches or so taller than Pierce in that picture.

Bill Russell was 6'9" - 6'9.5" peak height (I don't know weather he's lost height or not) but was not only taller than Pierce by a lot in that picture, but in person too (seen them next to each other before). The other one speaks for itself. Garnett clearly has more than 5" on Pierce.

Yep, I meant why Allen looks so tall. Paul Pierce is NOT 6'6" BTW. He's definantly shorter than that. Garnett does seem like he's around 6'11" anyways.
Peirce isn't 6'6":

Yao is a legit 7-5 and he has 5" at best on KG.
I also found out Garnett measured 6-11 without shoes right out of highschool so you can rule out anything below 6-11.

6'8.5" is possible for Horry but I am positive 6'6.25" exactly for T-Mac. BTW 6'10" could have been rounded down from 6'10.5' for his college listings that would make sense for his nba listings too. That would make him 6'11.75"-7'0" in shoes and he was listed 7'0" for a while and 6'10.5" could be rounded up to 6'11".

I've heard various times that KG though listed at 6'11'' is really 7'0'' - 7'2''. He's played a variety of positions (from SF-PF-C) in his career so that may have a factor in his height listing.

In my opinion Nowitzky, Duncan and Garnett are more or less the same height (Dirk has also his Hair shaved in the photos I've seen down below) I don't see anyone having a full inch on the other, if you want to be precise we can argue that maybe duncan is 210 cm tall and both Dirk and Garnett are 211 cm.....that is probably the best height!

Come on, D-Howard have said himself that he's 6'9.5. This age argument and growing is BS, some develop physically early (I myself was 6'2.5 at 16, 6'3 now ten years later) and my bet is guys like LeBron, Howard, Oden and Wayne Rooney fall into that category. these struck me when I saw them up close as shorter than listed: Antonio McDyess does not look a bit like 6'9 (I've had 6'9 and 6'10 teammates myself), more in the 6'8, maybe even 6'7 range, and Webber is no way 6'10, 6'8.5-6'9 tops.

His listed NBA height is in shoes, big shoes since he's listed at 6'11". Either way, they are listing him 1" taller than his shoed height.

Did no one see the interview at the All Star Game with Garnett? Craig Sager referred to him as 7 feet and he corrected Sager and said, "I'm 6'11" and some quarters". No reason to lie. He's easily over 7ft in shoes. Also, Howard would be lucky if he's 6'9 1/2". I've never seen Bosh listed taller than 6'10" and he has over an inch on Howard. Just looking at the Western Conference All Star picture you can see some startling height differences in guys that are supposedly the same height (Okur, Duncan, Stoudemire, etc).

Shaq is 7'1 barefoot. KG is an inch or 2 shorter. This is pretty obvious. Garnett is only 220 pounds though which makes him look taller. Howard is taller than 6'9 1/2 too.

KG and Shaq were both in the game at the same time for extended lengths during the ASG. If Shaq's barefoot height is 6'11.5, KG could be no shorter than 6'11 barefoot; they looked nearly identical, and I'm talking about towering over 6'9 1/2 barefoot Dwight Howard. That 6'9.5 measurement by FIBA sounds bogus, not only are there no such measurements online anywhere (much less stamped by FIBA), he would've been measured at 24 during the 2000 Olympics, and it's a heavily unlikely scenario for KG to randomly grow 2 inches past 25. If anything, someone's memories must be off, because during FIBA broadcasts of the 2000 Sydney games, KG was always introduced at 211cm.

First of all shawn marion looks like a muppet. Second of all if you look at how his head sits on his shoulders, its like 3-4 inches shorter than most players, his chin sits at about his collar bone, now look at chris Bosh, he has a neck of a giraffe. in conclusion marions useful body parts (shoulders and arms) sit where the average 6'10" players would be, thats why he can play the way he does, he should be listed as a 6'9" or 6'10"

Did anyone watch the All Star game? Garnett admitted he was 6'11" and "some 1/4's" in an interview with Craig Sager. Obviously over 6'11" but not quite 7'.

who ever thinks that yao ming is 223 cm is wrong...his clearly 4.5-5 inches taller than mutumbo in some pics...where mutumbo is listed as 218 cm but probably is only around 215-216 cm. Making yao around 227-228 cm. Which is his true height. His 7'5.5'' to 7'6''.

Gonzalo, it's funny that you mention Earl Boykins, I just out that the dude can dunk, he's never dunked in a game but can do it during practice.

You guys say strange things. Garnett 6`9? He was two inches taller than Kirilenko, who is 6`9. Now you would say Kirilenko is 6`7, Michael Jordan 6`3, Steve Nash 6`0 and Earl Boykins according to what you say wouldn`t even exist.

No way is Garnett 6'9...atleast 6'11 probably 7 foot. Ben Wallace I've heard is only 6'5 but I think he's 6'6 - 6'7.

Shaq is 7'1 and Garnett is 7 foot I think both are obvious. No way does Tracy have 2 inches on Kobe probably have an inch maybe a whole inch.

i would like to add in the 2003 issue of 'Kicks' with Garnett, Duncan and McGrady(then an Orlando Magic) on the cover, the conversation turned to height whereupon Duncan and McGrady excitedly told the journalist to add that "Garnett is 7-1" with Garnett, who was worried, telling them that that was rubbish. McGrady added that he "might even be 7-2"...But in my opinion the only sure way is to be measured barefoot, no shoes, nothing with them standing at their full heights. Case closed!

garnett has always given his height as 6-11", in fact he once quoted himself as being 6-12 in order not to overstep the 7ft mark! the reason for this has to do with the fact he plays power forward in the NBA which is his natural position. Garnett can easily, but does not like to, play out of position, such as center. Its very rare for power forwards to exceed 6-11, if they are taller then this they r generally made to play center which limits them in what they can do on the court. Hence, Garnett does not want to flaunt how tall realistically he is. This is why u might notice in the past in a lot of photos garnett is often seen stooping or bending in order not to draw attention to his height. But recently, as seen in the 'Kicks' issue, he stands at pretty much his full height. Its prob cause hes accepted as a natural power forward so his height is no longer a threat to his position.
