I love the Bucks more and more, they really do not want to go against Giannis will at all.

He's closer to the camera than Koufos. Everyone should know that the closer you are to the camera, the bigger you look. Basic fact of science.

Watch a video or game of Greek NT, and Bourousis is at least 2 inches taller than Giannis. And Bourousis is supposedly 6-11 1/2 barefoot.

Or just look at the team picture from straight on angle, where clearly Giannis is shorter than Bourousis and Koufos, even counting Koufos being bald and Giannis having a lot of hair sticking straight up.

In shoes maybe he is. No way he is that barefoot. Koufos is 7-0 barefoot, and Bourousis is supposedly 6-11 1/2 or 7-0 barefoot (depending on source).

Both are clearly about 2 inches taller than Giannis, in any Greek NT game that you look at.

He's been measured at 6-11. Are you the dude that was arguing MIrotic is a better prospect than Giannis?

6-11 in shoes. Everyone knows NBA height for the vast majority of players is done by in shoes height. He's about 2 inches shorter than Koufos and Bourousis. So clearly he is 6-11 in shoes. So for NBA way, yes, he is 6-11. But obviously, claiming he is 6-11 without shoes is simply untrue. Not that anyone here claimed that directly, but it was claimed in a false way, by people saying he looks taller than Koufos and Bourousis, when he is in fact about 2 inches shorter than them. He would have to be about 7-1 barefoot to be taller than they are. So that's clearly a complete fantasy and nonsense.

No. I never said Mirotic was better than Giannis. You definitely have me confused with someone else. I like Mirotic, but he's a much worse player than Giannis is. You are reaching for a way to discredit me now.

Giannis is probably about 6-10 without shoes. He is clearly taller than Henson who is 6-9 without shoes

If I remember right, the last time Greek NT measured him (last summer), they had him at 2.08 (6-10) barefoot. And they listed him at same height as NBA (2.11 m or 6-11, which is NBA's rounded down in shoes height).

That's pretty standard. Most guys in Europe are listed by barefoot height, except the guys that come from NCAA or play in NBA, or used to play in NBA. In those cases, they usually list by in shoes height, since that is how NBA and NCAA do it.

I wish they would just get a standard uniform height listing policy for all players across the board.

No, he's not even close.

the problem with Boban Marjanovic is that they didn't have measure his hands yet. i couldn't find somewhere how big are his hands. :-?



Why such fascination with the size of Giannis's hands? :wink:

I was just in Wisconsin for the last 2 weeks, it was an amazing 75-88F degrees most the time.


There are a lot of wonderful reasons to visit Greece and travel, but Wisconsin summers are actually pretty nice.
