Kevin Garnett is reportedly seven feet straight up

But he didn't want to be a center in the NBA, so he arranged to be listed at 6'11".

On the subject of heights.

The media guide heights and weights are all inflated.

Where Brandon Davies measured at 6'8.5" barefoot and 6'10" in shoes

CoopDizz

exactly. Everyone has their shoes on when playing

So, we should weigh football players with all their gear on?

not Ricky Stansted. He played barefoot for the Ohio Wigglers in the 30's.

Do you really think Brandon Davies was more rule than exception?

I'd prefer to know how tall a guy is on the court, not in the shower

Shoes are not uniform and you are measuring height relative to othe players.

UCB Coug

Why? Just bring both of them in for a workout and let them compete

Height isn't nearly as important as standing reach.

This I agree with.

I would add you hop ability also.

Actually, I read an article about Brandon Davies that he measured taller

Is the NBA compound the same thing as a FEMA camp?

1/7/14 2:15pm

This is from a few years ago (obviously), but will give you an idea

jdub

Oh, Winder is in there too. He doesn't look real tall there either.

jdub

1/7/14 11:32am

Most aren't standing fully straight

CoopDizz

1/7/14 11:37am

Sure, but it does give you a good idea.

jdub

1/7/14 11:38am

A decent idea

CoopDizz

1/7/14 11:39am

Not really. We're arguing about an inch or two. Standing straight could make up

Very tough to use pictures like this where some are closer to the camera.

1/7/14 11:51am

Yeah right. 5'11 and 6'3?

Kevin Garnett is reportedly seven feet straight up

CoopDizz

1/7/14 11:46am

I believe that. I know they said the same about KD that he just doesn't want to

southernfriedcougar

1/7/14 11:54am

Bill Walton the same thing. Didn't want to be known as a 7-footer

HootnHoller

1/7/14 3:04pm

How tall do you think they are then?

1/7/14 11:49am

Charles Barkley - 6'3" NBA Hall of Fame power forward with rebound records.

1/7/14 12:15pm

He's more like 6'4 1/2 inflated to 6'6

southernfriedcougar

1/7/14 12:16pm

I've heard 6'4" in big soled shoes, but still...

1/7/14 1:34pm

Best player per inch ever in the NBA

1/7/14 2:18pm

Mr Bassman was confusing JD Falslev with Cody Hoffman

icecougar

1/7/14 2:23pm

Haha Mr Bassman is flat out wrong.
