I thought this was @Malta
He is a very good bball poster in general but I think finding pictures showing players standing next to each other to prove their actual height is his biggest forte
for real. when he wakes up and notices that smell in the air, he's gonna come through and shyt this whole thread down. this dude has pictures of every nba player who ever lived standing next to eachother. at airports, conventions, weddings, whatever.....if there's 2 nba players standing next to eachother right now, malta already has the shyt on file.

It's been known for years that KG is over 7 foot tall he just didn't want that label as a center. Just like Duncan used to be listed at 7 foot tall for a long while then it went back down to 6'11. But he's probably closer to 6'10 if they were really being truthful. Players make themselves shorter or taller all the time. Remember Kobe has alternated between 6'5-6'7 since he was in the league before finally settling in at the prototypical 6'6 height like Jordan. But yet when you see him and Wade on the court together he's not much taller then him.

Ai wasn't really 6 foot either. Dude still a freak of nature tho. His shoulders are wide and his arms are long as shyt.
I think shyt like arm length and reach is a major factor on the shorter guys. Guys like Raymond and Barkley probably have long ass arms and super wide shoulders

I've seen Lillard and affalo up close.....
Lillard is like 6'1 if that not no damn 6'3
And affalo looked every bit of 6'5 the times I've seen him. But than I again I wasn't focused in on huge shoes :patrice:
