THE FAKE WEIGHT/HEIGHT shyt IS AN EPIDEMIC OVER THE LAST 15+ YEARS.

KD AINT NO fukkING 6'11

The other angle. KD is clearly looking down and looks like a skyscraper next to Dray who is 6'7".

Kawhi is 6'7 230 (and he probably heavier than that) with a 7'3 wingspan with the hands the size of Shaq's head. While Kawhi doesn't have the vertical explosion of MJ and Pippen, he is stronger than them, longer than them, with very good feet.

Let's put it this way,

Kawhi is the same height as Anthony Mason and Larry Johnson and 20 pounds lighter, going against guys like Lebron and Giannis and Paul George and KD. Tall, freakish motherfukkers that can play both the 3 and the 4 effectively.

Kawhi is the same height as Penny Hardaway and 30 pounds heavier.

Kawhi would probably be one of the strongest wing and longest wing players in the 1990s. The only player built like Kawhi in the 90s was Grant Hill. 6'8, 225 7'3 wingspan.

Even James Harden is 6'5 225 (he probably closer to 240) with 6'11, one of the strongest guards in NBA history, just stiff arming shoulder checking dudes out the way, got around 20 to 30 pounds on most guards today, he would weight more than most SFs in the 90s.

So just imagine we put James Harden and Kawhi back in time. They are stronger and longer than most star perimeter players in the 90s, on top of being more skilled and they aren't even the most vertically explosive players in the NBA, but more athletic than most guards back then.

Dudes in the 90s was 6'4 180, 6'7 200, 6'6 185.

Jimmy Butler out here 6'8 240 playing SG/SF, the size of 90s PF, the size of Lebron. Jimmy Butler would be the 4th heaviest player on the 72 win Bulls team and probably 3rd best skilled player on that team. Jimmy Butler would deebo everyone in the league in the 90s besides like 2 players.

Why are people bringing up weight in basketball discussions like it's relevant? And secondly pippen was clearly bigger than 210lb, he used a false wikipedia source for that info...

Lol. I don't think you realize how strong guys like LeBron and Kawhi are.
