Don't see the evidence to upgrade him.
Canson said on 18/Apr/18
@Christian: thanks! And if logic were there I could see it but it’s not. He simply uses that as his go to for everything. He was doing that since he came on this site. Maybe Russ grew but if he did it’s no higher than Rob has him listed but to be honest I could still see 6’2.25
Christian-6'5 3/8 said on 18/Apr/18
@Rob
This isn't a matter of opinions, but facts. The fact is, these basketball players have measured data of their heights yet Johnson tries to make them taller by making excuses like they grew. I can't see Johnson being anything other than a fanatic for these players or a
troll at this point. If these players didn't have records of their measured heights anywhere then I can respect Johnson's opinions, but this isn't the case here.
Editor Rob
I think for NFL, it's going to be a far far smaller amount as most are 20-22 range when they get measured...but with NBA, some guys at 18-19 may well have gained a little more in 19-21 range. It's going to be a small minority of course.
As for Johnson, well he's entitled to his estimates like everybody. I don't agree with a lot of them, but I can see how he might arrive at his own conclusions.
There was a real 'downgrading
troll' who, like Johnson, had his own site and was throwing up a lot of daft listings like Tom Cruise 5ft 4, Jamie Foxx 5ft 7, George Clooney at 5ft 8, Sean Patrick Flanery 5ft 9, Hayden Christensen 5ft 10...Now that is a real height
troll!
When you go beyond the reasonable range a celebrity might be, towards the silly range, you enter the category of being a height-troll.
But a caveat - sometimes we shouldn't be quick to dismiss a lack of knowledge about celebrities or how height can change in photos as an attempt at
trolling.
Canson said on 16/Apr/18
@Johnson: So if Carmelo grew means Kyle Korver did and so on. Likelihood is very small being they’re the same draft height

@Chase: I can’t see the footwear with Renaldo and Russ. Without that it’s impossible to tell. As for players growing it really doesn’t happen very often. That’s the “Johnson’s Digest” talking there. Lol Derrick Rose at 6’2.75 when we have a poster here named Max who met him and said 6’1.5 is precisely what he is and Melo is at best 4.5-5” taller. Of course they can grow but I’ve heard Johnson say at least 7 or 8 NBA players grew? What’s the odds of that using common sense? Lmfao!!

@Chase I stopped commenting here. These threads are guarded by one guy and all his predictions are based on Carmelo Anthony and how he appears with others
Not pictures prooving that meeting.
Just guide yourself with common sense not draft heights at 18.
Canson said on 15/Apr/18
@Chase: in addition to what I said before, Curry being around 6’1.5 would put Russ max where Rob has him, but I could go with 6’2.25 just as easily since he looks 3” shorter than Butler and 4” shorter than Melo. Both of the latter would likely be that at best and could be 1/8” less or so
Canson said on 15/Apr/18
@Chase: I don’t believe Renaldo is that short, that’s correct. Steph Curry, however, is not a true 6’2”. On Celebheights, we go by afternoon and evening heights not morning. Beginning in 2009 which was the year he was drafted ironically, they began measuring players first thing out of bed. See the article below. In addition, Curry tweeted at 630 am that he was 6’2” and had just measured. Remember in the NBA they don’t do 1/8” increments so Curry could’ve been slightly over 6’1.75 when he measured and given 6’2”. Even if not he could’ve been 6’1.5 at a low which is how he looks usually. Russell Westbrook was drafted in 2008 when it was still an afternoon combine, which is why he looks taller than most other 6’3” listed guys that came after him. He even edges out Rose but because he is, in fact, taller than Rose
Chase said on 13/Apr/18
@Canson Maybe lebron and Carmelo didn’t grow after 18-19, but it still doesn’t make sense why he looks 2 inches taller than Ronaldo, unless you think he is only 6 foot. Look at him next to 6’2 Stephen Curry. You think they are the same height?
Click Here
Canson said on 13/Apr/18
@Viper: he’s taller than Curry. Compare to Carmelo Anthony who I have met and is a legit 6’6” minimum he’s aboit 4” shorter. Russ was measured in the afternoon while Curry in the early morning in 09. While I don’t agree with Rob’s upgrade, I do agree that he was the height he was originally listed here from his pre draft measurement (6’2.25)
viper said on 13/Apr/18
IMO he physically looks shorter than Stephen Curry.
Canson said on 12/Apr/18
@Chase: most people don’t grow once they hit 18-19 some even sooner. I’ve never met Lebron but I have met Carmelo and he’s a legit 6’6 maybe a strong 6’6 at best. He was 1.5-2” taller than me. I’ve also balled with and have seen Caron Butler off the court and he is a pre draft 6’5.25 and looked around 196cm in person (at very most an inch taller than me). I’m 6’4 1/4 barefoot. If you look at Russ with either guy he looks his pre draft height. IMHO the upgrade to 6’2.5 was unnecessary
Chase said on 12/Apr/18
I don’t get it. He looks 2 inches taller than Ronaldo who is a confirmed 6’1. You can’t compare him to players like lebron and Carmelo who got measured when they were young, because it is possible that they grew to. Ronaldo was measured after his growth plates closed.
Canson said on 29/Mar/18
I think a normal day without playing ball
Out of bed 6’2 7/8-6’3
Before bed 6’2 1/8 perhaps 6’2.25
Canson said on 29/Mar/18
@Shane: well said about all of them! And I’ve played against Delonte West that’s about right for him. He was about 3 inches shorter than me last time I saw him. Maybe 6’1-6’1.5 range. But was listed 6’4 and 6’3 when he played at Roosevelt in high school when I played him. Funny Eddie Basden who played with him in high school was my height (I was about a flat 6’4 in high school and listed 6’5 like I was) yet he was way taller than West. I think Russ at a low would be that height 6’2.25 but maybe a game 6’2 flat would be extreme for him. You’re absolutely right that he looks taller because of his build and also because he is legitimately over 6’2” on a normal low whereas a lot of the others like Rose and Curry are probably not. They are both 6’2 or so out of bed tho imho. Damian lillard looks even shorter than them. I wouldn’t be surprised if he is sub 6’1” In the afternoon on even a normal day. I have a hard time believing 6’1.75 for him honestly. That seems high even for a morning height. I would’ve thought 6’1.5 and 6’0.75 as out of bed and the afternoon next to Karlie Kloss whereas Curry and Rose and even Kyrie could be 6’2-6’2.25 and 6’1.25-.5 (maybe more toward the latter) on a day where they don’t play
Shane said on 28/Mar/18
@Rob: I think he's very maximum low is 6'2" 1/4 after a game barefoot. He measured that in afternoon at predraft camp and not after a game so I am confident he could go as low as 6'2" flat If not slightly under. I believe he just looks very tall because he is a solid 1/2 inch to even an inch taller than several nba guards listed at same height, including Kyrie Irving and especially Damian Lillard or former players like Steve Nash. Westbrook has likely over an inch on the likes or Lillard and Nash. 1/2 inch plus over the likes of Curry.
Shane said on 28/Mar/18
@Canson: Westbrook would have likely measured 6'2" 1/2 to possibly 6'2" 3/4 now with the 630 am measurements they do. In other words, he would almost assuredly be listed 6'4" (shoe height). He is taller than some nba players listed at 6'4" including the Rockets Gordon who is 6'2" flat barefoot. Delonte West measured 6'1" 1/2 barefoot but was very generously listed at 6'4" in college and most of his NBA career.
Canson said on 13/Mar/18
As listed last year they measured in the afternoon. Always a possibility he grew to 6’2.5 but always a chance he is dead on 6’2.25 which he looks. And 6’3 out of bed. Definitely no less than 6’2.25
Canson said on 24/Feb/18
@Alec289: I agree and I believe Kyrie is his listed height here 6’1.5.
Alec289 said on 20/Feb/18
@Canson looking at the all star game and videos on the all star game of Russell Westbrook next to Kyrie Irving and KD I barley see a height difference between Kyrie and Russell I think Canson is right about Russ being 6’2.25 I see barley a difference between kyrie who really looks 6’1.5 next to Russ.
Canson said on 19/Feb/18
@Johnnyboy: renaldo may be ok but Harden definitely needs one. That’s a clear as day morning height
johnnyboy69 said on 18/Feb/18
Man idk actually, the more I look at it the 1/4 is probably right for his evening height. Maybe Ronaldo needs a downgrade to 6'0.75 and Harden down to 6'3.5
Canson said on 18/Feb/18
Russ is not as tall as Adam Silver.
johnnyboy69 said on 17/Feb/18
needs a bump to 2 3/4 Imo. Taller than ronaldo by 2 inches and shorter than Harden by about 1

@Rob give Russel and upgrade to 6’2.75 he’s the same height as Adam silver who is listed at 190cm

@Christian: yup he’s an afternoon measurement. And people inflate him to make others taller. I think 6’3” out of bed tho

@Junior
I believe Westbrook's the most legit 6'2.25" listed celeb here. And the most overlisted from what I've seen is Affleck.
Canson said on 4/Feb/18
@Junior: a select bunch of those guys are 6’2” such as Fisher (worst case he dips a hair under) and Lin looks 6’2”. Russ could be as high as 6’2.5 but honestly feel 6’2 or 6’2.25 or in between. Probably right on the nose on his measurement. He looks exactly 4” shorter than Carmelo Anthony
Canson said on 4/Feb/18
@Johnson: not a good video to judge height. Can’t see footwear for one. And at times it looks just an inch but at times I can’t tell
Junior Hernandez said on 4/Feb/18
Jeremy Lin, Ray Fisher,

Harden ain't 6ft 4 3/4 though.
He's at most 6ft 4.
Canson said on 18/Jan/18
@Derrifk: he was measured in the afternoon that’s why he looks taller. He’s legit maybe he gained 1/4” but looks at best weak 6’3 or strong 6’2 really 4” shorter than Carmelo is and Melo is a solid or strong 6’6” max. It’s the shift to Morning that throws things off because most people measure 1/2” taller than they would in the afternoon
Derrifk said on 17/Jan/18
He looks taller than this tho
logan said on 17/Jan/18
If he's 6'2" 3/4 then how come he looks the same height as 6'4" 3/4. I say 6'4" 1/2.

@Jordan: I don’t have an official measurement for the commissioner validating that he’s 190 or that he’s the same height as Russ. Russ looks 4” shorter than Carmelo Anthony as well.
Silver looks as if he would be a bit taller. Of course he’s likley in dress shoes Russ in sneaks but the diff shouldn’t be that much. You could be right. I actually had Silver at 6’3” or about that but don’t believe Russ is as tall as he is. I think 6’2.25 is perfect for Russ as Rob has him listed from his draft measurement. He would prob be 6’3” out of bed
LeBlanc said on 4/Jan/18

But Canson he’s the same height as the commissioner Adam silver who is a legit 190.
Canson said on 29/Dec/17
@Jack: that may just be the timing of his measurement. He was an afternoon measurement vs Steph or John Wall or Kyrie being morning (all 2009 or later) whereas Russ was 08. Russ could be 189 flat imho or 6’2.25-.5 max but can also look 6’2.25 with Carmelo as well. Melo was nothing less than a flat 6’6 imho nothing more than maybe 198.5/199 imho as well. Looks 4” diff to me with them
jonas6'4 said on 23/Dec/17
How is he 0.6cm taller then Curry? He is close to 190cm. Solid 189 and Curry 187.

@junior: I don’t think his was a morning measurement. They said it took place in the afternoon in 2008 and morning in 09. Didn’t mention any other years tho. They mentioned that (sportsheight posted it on steph curry’s Page). Russ could’ve been given a fraction like maybe was closer to 6’2” than 6’2.25 but I believe his draft height at least today. Melo looks a solid 4” on him imho. But I believe you also on Paul George. He’s not over 6’8”. Just shows Lebron likely is barely if even 6’7” as PG-13 edges him by a good inch or so
Junior said on 27/Oct/17
Westbrook drafted before he turn 20 when he get measure 188.6cm in the morning he should be holding 6'1.75" range lowest but higher chance he could have grow a 1/4 now at 6'2.5" if a morning measurement take place and came down at 6'2 lowest.
Canson said on 25/Oct/17
@johnson: he’s def taller than renaldo is but Christiano probably is 185 at his lowest 6’0 7/8 or a full 6’1. At that rate tho 6’0 7/8 and 6’1 evening are one in the same. Russ really looks 189 max imho. Looks exactly 4 inches under Melo. So 188.5-189 vs like 198-199
Johnson said on 25/Oct/17
@Rob Westbrook is clearly taller than Cristiano Ronaldo
Average guess of users here for Westbrook is 1.90
Any chance for an upgrade??
Eric said on 21/Oct/17
Curry is the best
Canson said on 20/Oct/17
I think strong 6’2 is accurate for him. Looks 4” diff with Melo and Melo for sure is a strong 6’6” I’m person. I’d be highly surprised if he dipped below 6’6” even if he got all the way down to 6’6” flat honestly. More like 198.5 imho

Canson said on 9/Oct/17
@Johnson: I think it’s fair to say the pics on this site all have their fair share of issues. The ones you used with Hinrich and Rose and Gordon all have the same as well where rose appears as tall as Hinrich and Hinrich can look shorter than Gordon in one and the same in another. Now I can say Kirk In person is no less than maybe strong 6’2” 6’2” is absolute worst case. At that stage when talking a one inch diff those pic you posted make it hard to tell unless back to back

@Johnson: I easily see Russ waking to 6'3". So being you're going off morning heights Russ would prob be 6'2 1/2-3/4 range AM. Who knows he could be a full 189 at his lowest 6'2 3/8. Anything is possible but he looked near 4" less than Melo and 2.5 less than butler both of whom I've met and look near their pre drafts. I wouldn't estimate Melo to fall below 6'6 nor butler to fall under 6'5
Canson said on 1/Sep/17
Westbrook is a strong 6'2, not 6'4. His draft listing looks accurate and his lowest. Agree with Insomniak he would likely still be over by a fraction like Jarrett Jack or Michael phelps. I can see Melo similar too But see maybe him falling to 6'6" flat
Johnson said on 31/Aug/17
@Hose 6'4 and more? I would never say Westbrook is so tall... then people say I inflate players. My opinion is around 6'3 mark
Hose said on 30/Aug/17
Westbrook is probably now 6'4 1/2 or 6'4 3/4. He looks just a little bit smaller than Harden

@Tyson: russ is taller than steph curry you're right he is a legit 6'2/6'2.25 steph maybe 6'1.5 (Russ was an afternoon measurement in 2008 while curry a 630am in 2009).
Tyson said on 17/Jul/17
Looks 1/4 inch shorter than Curry but i know he is a strong 6'2, this listed is perfect.
Russell has descomunal arms and small head so that makes looks taller clearly
Canson said on 2/Jul/17
@Johnson: unfortunately there is no good picture to accurately depict how much difference there is with them. The only one i see of them has Russ at a camera advantage. Russ measured 6'2.25 barefoot whereas it is not clear what Obama actually measured one says 6'1.5 one says 6'1 and the 6'1" doesn't say whether he took shoes off or not because it does say his weight in clothes and shoes I don't see why they would weigh him in clothes and shoes and not measure him the same but it also says "roughly 6'1". My guess is that there isn't more than maybe a 1.5" difference with the two if Curry was only about 2cm taller than President Obama in their pics and Russ is about 2cm or so taller than Curry. Keep in mind Russ was measured in 2008 (and it said that the combine was moved from afternoon to morning in 09 as three NC stars gained height 1/2" one of which 3/4"). Thus going off of this Russ's measurement is the more accurate of the two between Currys and his. No Russ didn't grow him height he's still the same as what he was when he was drafted because I can feel that being the next thing. Contrary to what you believe very few people grow to that degree after reaching age 18 or 19.
Johnson said on 2/Jul/17
Westbrook has 2 inches on Obama clearly
Canson said on 1/Jul/17
@Shane: that's absolutely correct! And also explains for me why in the beginning on the site I've overestimated myself because I did it on a free day and was 6'4.5-.6 and think it was also late morning too or after not being up very long and laying down reclined etc. but now when I do it at the afternoon low I'm typically 6'4.25-.375 depending on what I've done as far as gym. I'd say for Russ if he were that high may have been a matter of him laying down but a typical low to me (and I usually don't go with those numbers) but 6'2.25 maybe a mm higher looks like a normal low for him. And like you said for yourself and curry he can prob dip to 6'2" after a game. And because it was an afternoon measurement from 08. I would really count the afternoon as A more accurate reading than late night but same as for you if you used the morning I don't have an issue with someone using their evening or absolute low for that matter, although the latter is a once in a while thing really. The only reason for that is I come down to a .25 to .375 and round down typically myself. But I consider mine to be 6'4 1/2 for this site even though it's not really an afternoon for me it's a later morning measurement (4 hours or so after being awake).
Shane said on 30/Jun/17
@Canson: thanks. And I'd say he can hit 6'2" 5/8-3/4 at least depending on what hed been doing that day and how much he compresses. Everyone is different in that regard. One thing I was thinking is an afternoon or evening measurement doesn't have to be a low. For example, if a guy just got up from a long nap or laying around just before measurement.
Canson said on 29/Jun/17
@Shane: I agree with you. And not real I shouldn't say. I would just say morning height for him. Russ would easily hit 6'3" or maybe 6'2 7/8 out of bed. I always enjoy discussing with you as well!
Shane said on 28/Jun/17
@Canson: From what I understand, morning measurements are the custom now (since 09). They want to make sure they have something consistent from year to year and for each player and that provides that. As for real measurements, they are all real if it's barefoot. If a person measures it is undeniably real. We can disagree on when is the best time but we can't say any is invalid because they are absolutely real and a person is that tall if they measure it. Always enjoy our discussions.
Canson said on 26/Jun/17
@Shane: not sure how late but was afternoon so I'd say if not at his lowest he's within 1/8 or less of it.
Canson said on 26/Jun/17
@Shane: yea 2008 and 09 were afternoon and morning respectively and others prob vary. Only reason I know is 2009 we saw Blake griffin's video of 630 am and saw steph currys 630am tweet and 930am draft report card. 2008 tho I saw an article that The poster Sportsheight posted on Steph Currys page that said about the 3 UNC stars (Green Lawson Ellington) measuring 1/2" higher the next year 09 vs 08 because they were at different times. One was 3/4" more. I believe some of the measurements just not all even in the morning (remember we had the discussion on Wade and you saw the same thing) as was the case with AI has a 6'0" barefoot when Larry brown has said he's 5'10/5'11 as have most who meet him. Westbrook I wholeheartedly agree with. 6'2.25 looks precise and may even be full 189. As for morning/afternoon I disagree. I go with what I measure for the majority of the day but typically 6'4 1/2 will be my go to since I'm a small hair over 6'5" out of bed and like 6'4.25-3/8 at night (closer to the latter). But also has to do with people you associate with for example my father is 6'4" or maybe 6'3 7/8 or 3/4 today but still only about 1/2" taller than he is and friends that are 6'5.25 (he claims 6'5 even tho the 1/4" is at night for him), 6'6 friend and 6'7" friend so I have just always stuck with 6'4". I mean at the end of the day, it's just a number and is really just psychological. People will form their own opinion based on how they claim or adjust you based on how they claim or see you. I personally in my 30s see no benefit claiming 6'5 that I don't get at 6'4" and I prefer 6'4 honestly if I had to really choose between the two numbers (If I could actually select my height). I'd go with being maybe 6'3 7/8 at my lowest like my Dad's height today. I've never gotten it tho people who claim shoes etc or lie. I can see if a pro college or high school athlete but outside of that it's nothing. I respect your view tho because you see that as your true height and it really isn't that much off. If you get to 6'1.25 normally I'd prob give you 6'1 but if you said 6'2 I'd figure it's simply a roundup not a lie
Shane said on 25/Jun/17
@Canson: any measurement is a real measurement. The early morning measurements are just as real, just different. In fact, I believe the morning measurements are more appropriate (as you know). Great point on Westbrook, though. If he indeed got measured late in day in 2008 (are you sure?) that would explain why he looks 6'4" or 6'5" to others as he would be around 6'3" barefoot earlier in day (if he was indeed measured late and from what I've understood he was).
Canson said on 31/May/17
Too many people are saying he grew because he makes the Damian Lillards and other guys shorter. It's because they received morning measurements and likely aren't as tall as advertised. Russ had he gotten the same would be 6'3" barefoot and 6'4" in shoes but he instead in 2008 receiced a real measurement not an eye opener. Put into perspective, He's exact with Jarrett jack and looks 3" shorter than Caron butler. Both of their measurements are near accurate as Caron has been 6'5" since high school and even when he played pro was about 2cm taller than I am Jack about 2" 5-6cm so shorter than I am. Jack at 6'2 and change and Caron as a good 6'5 make Russ what rob has him listed 6'2.25 at most 189cm. Just means the other guys aren't as tall as they are listed on their pre drafts
Jeffery Lord said on 27/May/17
Then why is Westbrook a bit taller than most guys listed at 6'4? (Ex: Wade, Jrue Holiday, OJ Mayo, John Wall)
Even LeBron has said Westbrook is underlisted and on the court is more like 6'4 or 6'5.
Canson said on 25/Apr/17
@KH: yes it is but not all of these listed ones are accurate like his. He looks it on the court and in person according to someone who met him

Rose and curry are shorter than him however noticeably for rose about 2cm for curry. Curry had a morning measurement which is why they don't line up (he tweeted 630am). Rose I believe afternoon but boosted a hair and is closer to 6'1"
Ebrahim said on 22/Mar/17
From what I've seen, Westbrook rose and curry seem to be almost the same height, the difference is just miniscule.
I say he is 6'2.25 spot on.

@Johnson
Honestly Willy Hernangomez look no taller than 6'8.75 max since he tilt down his head with westbrook. Westbrook is only 187cm
Johnson said on 9/Mar/17
Well there could be 15 cm between Hernangomez and Westbrook...
Johnson said on 8/Mar/17
Willy Hernangomez listed 2.11 and he looks only 13 cm taller than Westbrook
Any explanation? How tall is Willy?

@Canson
I think back John Wall is only solid 187cm makes me wonder how could russell westbrook can even be 6'2.25 although sometimes westbrook and wall only look 1/4 than 1/2 , i'm going with 6'1.5 for westbrook which is few mm shine of 187cm that make much sense on wall's comparison
Canson said on 25/Feb/17
This is a guy in pics next to a reliably measured 6'3" guy that has met him that looks at most 189cm. That's what he is no more than maybe 6'2.5 and can see the 6'2.25. It's just shedding light on to the "right sizing" of players based on the Position they play. Yes he will look 6'3-6'4 next to a guy like John wall who is really only 186-187cm and listed as 6'2.75. That's the NBA for you

Click Here looks like james harden is no way over 6'3

@A 171cm male
As another 171cm male I would say that we look very small compared to another person when that other person is about 6'2" or over. However the 6'2"+ brigade still probably makes up less than 10% of the population so although we are a little bit small for our gender we are only made to look really small by a low percentage of people.

@A 171cm male What kind of
trolling is this? haha

Russ looks tall to me
Canson said on 10/Feb/17
Russ is correct 189cm 6'2.25
Curry received morning measurement more like 186.5-187 6'1.5ish. Russ has him by 2cm

Ronaldo is not in so bad a posture so does not
S.J.H said on 26/Jan/17
@Johnson
Westbrook look at most 4cm taller than cristiano ronaldo look at top of head minus ronaldo hair and cap not looking eye level and 10cm is way off. lol, but look carefully on the video ronaldo look to drop a fraction posture there so the listing 6'2.25 and 6'1 seem strong listing
Johnson said on 26/Jan/17
@Canson Another player proving wrong the draft height... that of Cristiano Ronaldo is 6 foot tall... Do you really believe it?

I thought he was at least 6 ft 3 next to ronaldo ..solid 2 inch difference
GP said on 23/Jan/17
He has claimed 6'3" before. I read it somewhere when a reporter was claiming that Durant was 7" and he was asking his teammates during OKC years and Westbrook said that he was 6'3" and Durant was 6'10". I would bet that he was measured at 6'2.5" and either it was typing error since they made a similar error with Blake Griffin, who was measured at 6'8.75" but was listed at 6'8.5" (which is more accurate).

Rob, how much do you think Westbrook weighs in the photos posted below and in other recent pics?
Editor Rob
not sure he looks much over 200 pounds.
Johnson said on 23/Jan/17
@S.J.H are you kidding? The picture suggests 10 cm of difference between them Ronaldo and him, the problem is the pic is really bad I saw the whole video...and there it was a difference of 5 cm minimum
Westbrook is 6'3... look at him with measured without shoes Oladipo
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 22/Jan/17
Ronaldo looks closer to 6ft in that photo!
S.J.H said on 21/Jan/17
The picture look like westbrook is 189cm and ronaldo is 185.5cm
Johnson said on 21/Jan/17
For Westbrook and Ronaldo is better to watch the whole video. The difference is not that big as it looks in that picture
A 171cm male said on 20/Jan/17
Nba exaggerates height so much looks like 6'2" possible flat. ..

There is much more than an inch and a quarter between him and Ronaldo.
Johnson said on 18/Jan/17
I don't know about tall people, but once I am 2 hours after waking up I am the same height until before bed. I only change the days when I sleep more than 10 hours and if I don't go out that I am slightly taller than my everyday height for most part in the day like 0.5 cm...
joe### said on 18/Jan/17
Anthony davis was measured 6'8 and then 6'9.25, I think westbrook look a little than this listing here
Moke said on 18/Jan/17
So he's been measured 189cm at draft camp, that is- in the morning. Makes him 6'2 during the day. Nothing wrong with that. Same with Ronaldo. Makes sense.
Johnson said on 18/Jan/17
Similar to measured Oladipo 6'3.25. Westbrook looks a legit 6'3

Positive side is stephen curry claiming 6'3 but was no taller than 6'2 yet westbrook claim the same but look 6'2.5 most of time compare to curry
SportsHeight said on 17/Jan/17
Thanks Rob! I've been wondering if he had any growth since his draft measurement. Seems rather unlikely, considering he was 19-and-a-half at the time. He does sometimes look a little taller, though that could be for any number of reasons. Good to have him on the site.
Editor Rob
I am certain he claims 6ft 3, but can't find where he said it. I could see an argument for 6ft 2.5 range, he doesn't have a big head for his height.
joe### said on 17/Jan/17
I saw 2 swollen taller than cr7
If this 6'2.25, cristiano ronaldo is maximum 6'0
Jam said on 17/Jan/17
My favorite player. Ridiculous he's averaging a triple double at this height
Johnson said on 17/Jan/17
We like this addition.
I think he grew up since his draft. He claimed 6'3. He looks 2 inches taller than Cristiano Ronaldo. Oladipo was measured 6'3.25 barefoot and he edges Westbrook no more than 1 cm
S.J.H said on 17/Jan/17
Westbrook look alot like 6'2.5 especially on jimmy fallon show
