I'm surprised they let Kane have a picture taken next to Shaq. If Kane is supposed to be 7 feet then that would make Shaq about 7,4" at least...which everyone knows he's not.
Kane does look 6,9" next to him though. I'd still give him 6,8" barefoot.

Its too bad there wasn't a picture of Big Show and Shaq together. We know Shaq would have an inch on him likely but still would be good to see.
It would probably look something like this Click Here
Khali was in his wrestling gear (his pants have no pockets) in that pic. If Shaq had b-ball shoes on, it's possible that Khali is a little taller.

I guess 7'0.5 and 7'2 in boots for Khali is possible. Says a lot about the heights other wrestlers though.

I think so as well. Unlike Andre (whose height was in flated a lot) there seems to be less concern over modern wrestling giants standing next to authentic sports stars, prolly because of the small amount of inflation todays giants get.

I have heard on Gerweck.com that Khali's real height was referred to as 7'0 1/2.
That's what I have him at. What is this gerwick?

Sorry, I used to think Shaq and Show were around 7'0 but after thease photos, I can see He is 7'1 like Khali! Yes, both have been pegged at 6'11.5 but 7'1 has to be right!

So Khali is under 7 foot too? What's that make Big Show? Under 6'11"????!! Tim Duncan must be under 6-10 then, Amare Stoudemire must be what 6-7?

Exactly Alex. Although we still cant be conclusive we wont know about footwear. Seeing Lane in the flesh would be freaky, he looks huge. But I dont think Stadnyk would look like a toothpick next to him he isnt like those Asian giants, he's actually got some beef on his near 8 foot frame.

Calvin Lane is 7'6" and 400 pounds he looks bigger than Shaq only coz he was closer to the camera. Shaq looks bigger than Khali who is 7'1" and 420 (??? LOL).
Wrestling height and weight r totally FAKE except Big Show and John Cena.
I'm an NBA fan and in 16 years only a player dwarfed Shaq and only in height, it was Muresan who si 7'7,5 barefoot...no photos or images with Priest Lauderdale or Garth Joseph but i think Shaq is bigger than them.
I think Shaq is the strongest giant (an he is a true giant not a pituitary giant) in the world, is very fast, e can jump very high, he is not human!!!

Shaq is a giant lets not make any mistakes about that. Look at the size of Shaq's forearms there they compare well with Singh who is a gym rat. And if one of them's taller its by a CM at most, I dont know how some of you see an inch either way?

Where are you people getting that Khali is closer to the camera? They are exactly the same distance from the camera, the difference is that Khali is a mis-proportioned acromegalic giant with an oversized skull structure and hands.
Shaq doesn't have any height on Khali there, exact same height.

That photo favours Shaq in every angle. Singh's left shoulder is hidden so shaq looks larger. Singh isnt exaclty holding great posture there and Shaq is tilting his head up so he looks slightly taller/they look the same. I think Singh would edge out Shaq ever so slightly - like ,25 or .5 of an inch. And while they look the same size there, in reality Khali is 50-60 pounds heavier than Shaq.

In my opinion the lines are very often deceptive. I agree that Khali's head
is bigger than Shaq's, but considering that Shaq's eye level is quite clearly higher I doubt that Khali's forehead can make that much of a difference.

Shaq and Khali look the same height there but Khali is a bit closer to the camera. Shaq may be 1/2 inch taller because of that. And also means Shaq is 1-1.5 inches taller than Big Show.

well basketball shoes, and anyone who is wearing them knows, they add way more than just 1 inch. thickest sole ever, plus cushion inside. put one one on 1 foot, and see teh difference. that's why many brothers wear it to make them taller... Khali' s head is even bigger than Big Shows...both huge, but Shaw has a small head, liek a regular person, so he'll look taller. people with small heads seem to have larger shoulders, makes sense? big show, like andre , the "500 pund class" ..they never stand straight, that makes 2 inche sin difference. Big Show is awesome, jumping and falling on his neck from 10 feet altitudes... they get injured a lot..compared to that..teh beast Shaq..has finesse and feeling lik ea ballerina..which he must, coz after all BBall is a sport requiring EXTREMELY good feeling and coordination.... WRESTLERS are, in my opinion, STUNTMEN performing live. It's not real in the sense of what you see, but to produce the effect, you have to be an acrobat...and not afraid to rip your spine aport lol... HEIGHT...is clear: KHALI 7.2", Shaq: 7.0 1/2, Show 7.0, between 6.11.5 ...all this would be better to compare in cm...inches are just not precise enough.

Khali' s head is even bigger than Big Shows...both huge, but Shaw has a small head, liek a regular person, so he'll look taller. people with small heads seem to have larger shoulders, makes sense? big show, like andre , the "500 pund class" ..they never stand straight, that makes 2 inche sin difference. Big Show is awesome, jumping and falling on his neck from 10 feet altitudes... they get injured a lot..compared to that..teh beast Shaq..has finesse and feeling lik ea ballerina..which he must, coz after all BBall is a sport requiring EXTREMELY good feeling and coordination.... WRESTLERS are, in my opinion, STUNTMEN performing live. It's not real in the sense of what you see, but to produce the effect, you have to be an acrobat...and not afraid to rip your spine aport lol... HEIGHT...is clear: KHALI 7.2", Shaq: 7.0 1/2, Show 7.0, between 6.11.5 ...all this would be better to compare in cm...inches are just not precise enough.

JT, decent comparisons. Shaq would be a little taller than Big Show based on that as he had a little more height on HHH.

Big Show and Shaq were standing a bit behind Triple H, whereas Khali and Triple H are side by side.
IMO, Shaq and Khali would be very close in height and a little taller (~ 1 inch) than Big Show.

Just a "couple" of pictures from Massimo to think about:
Bob Lanier looks about 3 cm taller than the probably 2.07 Rasheed Wallace.
So Lanier has to be at the very least 2.08 barefoot.

Rasheed may even have thicker soles.
Shaq looking at least 6 cm taller than Bob Lanier:

Shaq looks to me a full 7'1" barefoot in all of the pictures of him I see, but the ones with Wilt and Kareem!
It's like they have the power to make him shrink. Perhaps he shrinked before them for a matter of respect ah, ah.

What does Shaq weigh now though? Has he lost more weight? I remember one season when he was 370lbs or something? then 350lbs he was listed at for sometime then 325lbs.
He was 321 at his physical in Phoenix last season but he reported to training camp at 335. The heaviest he weighed was 382 at his weigh in prior to the 2002 playoffs. When he had his best season in 1999-2000 he weighed 340 pounds but was in very good shape.

A while back someone said Shaq claimed on a radio show that he was really 6'11 1/2 barefoot. There was never proof of that but was proof he was measured at 7'1 barefoot which makes more sense. If Shaq is 6'11 1/2 then Tim Duncan is 6'9 max
Yeah meanwhile even at barely 17 Shaq already said that he wasn't 6-11 but "7-foot even" and then since has claimed 7'1" five documented times and of course the pre-draft measurement as well as the hundred or so pictures that back that up.
Even if he did say he was 6'11.5" that's still not really a realistic possibility for Shaq. Duncan would be 6'9" max as you say, Amare Stoudemire would be roughly 6'7", Grant Hill would be about 6'6", Dwyane Wade would be under 6'3", Kevin Garnett would be about 6'10", Lebron would be under 6'6", Zydrunas Ilgauskas would be 7'0" max, Eddy Curry would be 6'9" ect. It just doesn't add up.

I don't know, I think Shaq still would have him by atleast half an inch. Big Show IMO was 7'0.25" or 7'0.5" max. Shaq has also never weighed in at more than 382 pounds as far as I know so even Shaq at his heaviest was considerably thinner than Big Show which could make him appear slightly taller too. Shaq's weight in his prime with LA was more around 340-350 anyway.
That's possible about Khali Alex2, he could be slightly over 7'1" but I think they'd appear virtually the same height.
willy79, I thought you meant you knew Emeka Okafor the Charlotte Bobcats Forward/Center and he was 6-10. I didn't know you meant your doctor named Dr. Oakfor was 6-10. Sorry for the confusion.

Yeah well if Shaq is 7'1" and Big Show is 7'0" then the difference would probably look more like 1.5" or 2" because Shaq is a lot slimmer and has much better posture.

"lsualum" I have never, nor will I ever work at a fast food restaurant.
That joke wasn't funny the first time and it hasn't been funny the other two dozen times you've used it. How long did it take you to think of it? I'd guess pretty long, considering you don't have any other insults.

Shaq will probably be only 6,11" ish in another decade or two thanks to spinal curvature but right now even in his late 30's, i think he's still at least 7 feet barefoot!

That's a lot more fair willy79. I thought you meant 7 foot in shoes. 7 foot in shoes would mean 6'10 1/2" max barefoot.
I am pretty sure he's 7'1" barefoot because he was measured that height, claims that height and looks that height but atleast 7'0" barefoot is reasonable.

Thanks Allen4! I think (by) watching that picture it's pretty clear that Wilt didn't lose any height at least before 1993 and still was a full 2.16. If he really had shrunk to 7'0.5", then how tall was Shaq, 6'11" ? I really doubt it.

willy79, considering your horrendous grammar/spelling I find it funny that you're insulting me. I don't take you seriously because you said Emeka Okafor is 6-10 when he measured 6-8 and is shorter than 6-9 1/2 Dwight Howard. I also don't take you seriously because you said you think Shaq is only 7-0 in shoes. That would put him at only 6-10 or 6-10.5 max which is ridiculous.
Great comeback (yawn) now what does that have to do with Shaq being 7'0 feet like even himself knows in shoes?

Shaq, good find! I see more than just one inch of difference between Ewing and Olajuwon. If Hakeem is at least 2.08, then Ewing is at least 2.12. If you compare the Mutombo-Ewing and Shaq-Ewing pics, it's apparent that Shaq and Mutombo are extremely close in height. Probably no more than 1 cm difference, indeed. I think there is a very good chance that Shaq is a full 7'1" barefoot. Almost all the pics make me think that, with the possible exception of the pics with Wilt and Jabbar. When I see the difference between the shoulder levels I have problems believing that Shaq can compensate that thanks to his longer neck and bigger head.

Either way whatever he is, add an inch for Ewing. I use to estimate Ewing at 6'10.5" or maybe 6'10" flat but there's a better chance that he's over 6'11" than under it.

"lsualum", Shaq on his toes??? That wasn't a serious comment was it?
You like to say things without basing them on anything such as you suggesting Shaq has a height complex.
You claimed that Shaq refuses to get measured, where did you hear that? Or Shaq tip toeing in the all-star game picture. Get over it, Shaq is a legit 7'1" and his shoes give him a slight advantage over Z's. Z is likely 7'3.25" or 7'3.5" in shoes while Shaq is 7'3" maybe 1/4 inch under in shoes. That picture proves that.
Nobody Shaq's size would want to appear taller than they are. I don't listen to anyone who says Shaq is under 7'1" because there isn't any good evidence suggesting he's under that height.

That's a full shot of their entire bodies and Z even has a slight advantage as he's closer to the camera. Z is a legit 7'2" as he measured that height during the 1996 pre-draft camp and he's been listed at 7'3" for his entire NBA career. Shaq is virtually the same height with shoes on.

Shaq has a solid 2 inches on Walton who is closer to the camera. Nevermind the fact that many recent pictures show Bill could still be 7'0" tall and the picture with Shaq was taken 10 years ago when Bill was just 45 years old.

what does 1/16 of an inch matter? if two folks are within 1/2 inch of height I think it's fair to say that they are both pretty much the same height. In other words, Wilt and Shaq are the same height because 1/16 of an inch doesn't matter.

Shaq is about an inch taller than 7'0" Joel Pryzbilla

I will give you credit, when first looking at the pic I thought Joel was taller or as tall but Shaq is bent knee. S i think about an inch in Shaqs favor is standing straight.

An interesting point is that measurement (pre-draft) of Shaq's was 16 yrs ago and it is likely that with all the jumps and dunking his spine has shrunk a little maybe half an inch or so. If he was 7' 0.75 rounded to 7' 1 he may only be around 7' 0.25 in morning or even 6' 11.5 average midday!

Without causing a riot regardless of all the photos and pre draft measurement I don't think its a total impossibility for Shaq to be around 6ft 11.5in average measurement,the reason I say this is my friend met him after a game and he is 6'3.5" barefoot and he came precisely up to Shaq's mouth,and no I'm not Isu Alum ha ha! They were both wearing big soled trainers.

Wilt wasn't taller than Shaq. Shaq was about 1" taller in basketball shoes than Wilt was in dress shoes. He is slightly closer to the camera though so I'd say they were about even height in 1992 or 1993.

As you can see Joel is standing perfectly straight while Shaq is looking down at him, slouching slightly and bending his knees but he's still slightly taller.
Shaq- 7'1"
Wilt Chamberlain- 7'1 1/16"
Joel Pryzbilla- 7'0"

whoa the average nba center is 7,1-7,2"...I thought it was more like the 6,10-6,11" range (barefoot). I guess every team wants to have a 7 foot plus center right? Therefore the expression 'you can't coach height' still remains strong even to this day.

Chris, I don't agree with measuring several different times and then taking the average. If you're going to measure someone several times and take the average then do it at the same time of day.
Shaq's pre-draft measurement was likely taken 3-4 hours after he had been up. That's good enough. I highly doubt he'd shrink a full 1.75" inches either. Maybe he's 7'1.25" or 7'1.5" out of bed and he shrinks to 7'0.25" but I doubt he's ever under that.

Shaq, to an average size person seeing someone 6'11.5" or 7'1" its such margin over the normal guy that you couln't even tell the 1.5 inches apart. So whether Shaq is 6' 11 or 7'1 he's such a big guy that its insignificant. Come on guys how long is this debate gonna last? We know he's around 7 feet tall give or take an inch, but to get his true measurement you'd have to do what guinness records do when they're measuring a person and measure four times in one day and get the average. Based on this we might all get a shock and find that based on this method he might not be 7' 1". What do you think Shaq? Remember his pre draft measurement was taken in the morning and only ONCE! On a person this size their average height could be as much as 1.5 inches off a random morning measure. Say for example he was 7'1.25" out of bed, by the time he goes back to bed he could possibly be as low as 6'11.5" as its a known fact that the taller you are the longer your spine so consequently there's more room for compression. Do you see where I'm coming from?
You know that really don't sound that bad Chris. I can mostly agree with your statement.

willy79, Shaq has said he's 7'1" FIVE TIMES and been measured at that height in his socks so ONE 6'11.5" claim is meaningless considering he looks much taller.

Even with all the photographic evidence and pre draft measurement i'm not totally convinced that this guy is a full 7' 1" barefoot. For example Michael Jordan's pre-draft measurement is 6'6" when it is a known that that he is slightly under 6'5". The same could apply to Shaq. Whichever way you look at him he is one big guy!

Anyway guys it's a fact that basketball players height are a bit inflated. For example I used to play her in italy in a basketball team here in italy in my teen and now my ex team mates which play in a league, on the internet are listed with fake height:
for example: a 5'9'' ex teammate listed as 5'11''
another one at 6'2'' listed now as 6'4'5''
and one of that flat 6'1'' listed as 6'3'' barefoot.
Unfortunately, the height counts too much in basketball and who has little attempts to lift it, even in ways less lawful.
I used to play center in my teen and i was only 6'1'' but i was enough strong and tall after all, and very important i never lied about my height as many guys seem to do nowadays

"lsualum", even you must find Shaq at 6'10"/6'10.5" ridiculous. How the hell do you know the profes is well educated? He has provided NOTHING to lead anyone to believe that. Barkley is NOT 6'4.5" either. Do you want me to prove Barkley's height here? I have no problem doing so. 6'11.5" is too low. Look at him next to 6'10"/6'10.5" Tim Duncan or Patrick Ewing.
profes, didn't you say you were going to post the evidence that led you to believe that? Mourning isn't 6'8.5" either, he's 6'9.5".
Clay, Bosh was 6'10.25" at 18 or 19 when he was measured. It's not hard to believe that he grew to 6'11". Compare him to his 7'0" listed teammate Andrea Bargnani. Bargnani was listed at 209 cm(6'10.25") in Europe and if that's accurate then Bosh is about 6'11".

Again Mr.Oneal is 6'11.75",without shoes.This estimation is the most probable height for him after careful examination of all the evidence.The 7'1"measurement is without a doubt his height in shoes.Because he is so large many people over estimate his height.All in all,a 6'11.75"tall person is considered a giant.Also during the reserch for Mr.Oneal's height,I have come to the conclusion tht Mr.Mourning could not be more than 6'8.5"tall.

Shaq at 7-0 in shoes is insane. That would make him about 6'10" or 6'10.5" barefoot.
Shaq towers over strong 6'10" guys like Tim Duncan and Hakeem Olajuwon.

The photoshop measuring tape is effective but only works if you compare somebody of a known height standing in a relatively even camera distance. There's little doubt that Shaq is over 7 feet, but just slightly which is why some people here make claims as ridiculous as Shaq being somehow less than 7 feet barefoot (their assuming that Shaq's 7,1" is from 1 1/2' shoes?).
Let's see somebody do the photoshop tape on this picture...

I think Shaq might be 7'0 flat barefoot actually and 7'1.5/7'2 in sneakers. The NBA inflates the heights to what they are in sneakers always. Yao Ming doesnt dwarf him, but you can see the 5 inch height difference.

if you are only an inch over 7 feet, then people might suspect that you could be less than 7 feet (due to the fact that your height could be listed in very high heel sneakers! Or a person could due to spinal curvature...from old age or time of the day may shrink shorter than their listed height). But I am certainly sure Shaq is a legit 7 footer!

lsu alum the old draft videos don't even list 1/4 inches so I highly doubt those are pre-draft measurements. Anyway as you said it was 7'0" NOT 6'11". The only pre-draft measurement posted had Shaq at 7'1".
As far as Scouting Director Marty Blake well he is hired by the NBA. He gives out a sheet of all of the measurements to team scouts, newspapers and now in the 2000's websites. They list the pre-draft measurements. NBA.com has rarely listed pre-draft measurements. Off the top of my head they only did it in 2002, 2003 and 2004.
The NBA official height listings are also often off. You and I both know that. The NBA doesn't care if a height is accurate. They listed 6-2 John Starks at 6-5 for years.
I also find it funny that you make a short joke about me. I am exactly 5'9.5" midday which is not short at all. It's average.

They list the pre-draft measurements. NBA.com has rarely listed pre-draft measurements. Off the top of my head they only did it in 2002, 2003 and 2004.
The NBA official height listings are also often off. You and I both know that. The NBA doesn't care if a height is accurate. They listed 6-2 John Starks at 6-5 for years.
I also find it funny that you make a short joke about me. I am exactly 5'9.5" midday which is not short at all. It's average.

Magic Johnson can look as low as 6-6 in photos. He cant be any taller than 6-7.

Yeah Alex2 that's a good observation. In 2002 when Shaq bulked up to 382 pounds and had some toe injuries he went from a size 22 to a 23. Here is a short description from a article written during the 2002 season.
"Shaq already is listed at 7-foot-1 and 338 pounds, as if he needed heavyweight black platforms that make him 7-3 and 400 pounds."
I doubt Shaq is 400 lbs. Even though there are some basketball players over 7,6" they usually only weigh in the 300 lb range.

Shaq, in my hopinion magic was listed as 6'9'' with shoes on, and if you look now how short is ... that is dued to his bad posture, come on he is very fat and he need to slouch almost in most of all pictures, look him in his younger years of carrer nba, almost the same height of larry bird.
So i would say larry bird 6'9'' barefoot and 6'10.25'' in shoes
magic johnson 6'8.25'' barefoot and 6'9'' with shoes on
honestly to heard only 6'7'' sound a bit funny
You can't judge an height of somebody only for some picture, because sometimes many people don't use to have correct posture for gain height, or as for example stand in tippy toes for seem taller than own height
i judged height of someone when i meet a person in real life lol

By the way "lsualum", nobody ever said the NBA gets measurements from Draft Express.
Draft Express lists the pre-draft measurements that are released to the media by Scouting Director Marty Blake.

Joe, Magic is 6'7.5" at best and probably only 6'7".
profes, go ahead post it.
lsualum, The official NBA height listings aren't correct, everyone knows that. Hakeem Olajuwon was listed 7-0 and was probably only 6-10 in reality. As far as Mourning compare him to his former teammate 6-8 3/4 Antoine Walker and it becomes clear that his 6-9 1/2 measurement is accurate.
Alex2, Shaq was probably even bigger than 382 pounds. I remember during the 2002-2003 season he was clearly at his biggest and the 382 weight was from the 2002 playoffs. Shaq weighed 340 in training camp in his best season(1999-2000) so Shaq's ideal weight was probably in the 340-350 range.

Although I am serious and positive that Shaq is 7'1" He does seem to always have footware advantage, his soles look alot thicker than everyone else's.

I'll tell you what, if you have a pic of Shaq beside the 6'10 Oakfor who I have met and Shaq still looks 7'1, I want argue anymore about his height. I will even buy 7'1 but otherwise I stick with just below 7'0 Shaq.

No Willy79 but pictures with 6'10" minimum Tim Duncan sure back up the point.

Willy79 I have dozens of more pictures that back up this point even more so if you want to keep this up then be my guest but you're going to keep losing this argument.
Not to mention Shaq's five claims of 7'1" and his 7'1" without shoes measurement from the 1992 Chicago Pre-Draft Camp.
If Shaq is 6'11.5" then Tim Duncan is 6'8.5" at best and that isn't realistic. Shaq is a legit 7'1", no more, no less. He was measured at that height.

Steve Nash looks well under 6' in that photo. A normal human head is about 9 or 9.5 inches long. So look at the photo and do the math.^
Actually depends on the person's size. Taller people tend to have large heads than smaller people just for their body to stay in proportion.

the LSU listings do NOT say 6'11.5". I posted the links and he was listed 7'1" there every single year.
Joe you can't tell the exact height to the half inch on the court because players are not standing up straight. They are leaning slightly to talk or bending their knees to guard someone. Pippen was 6'7.5" without shoes and Rodman was about 6'7" without shoes. Pretty much the same height.
Alex2 Nate Robinson measured 5'7 3/4" without shoes at the 2005 pre-draft camp.
