Kevin Durant Officially Measured at 6'10 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Mon Oct 7, 2019 3:13 pm

Kevin Durant is being listed at 6'10 by the Brooklyn Nets following the certification of his measurement.


Durant came into the NBA measured at 6'9.


There had been speculation that Durant had grown and was actually 7'0.

He’s 6’10 and 3 quarters. That should have been rounded out to 6’11.

“Since I love you guys so much, I was recorded at 6’10” and three-quarters with no shoes, so with my shoes on I’m 7-feet,” Durant told Fitzgerald. “I just like messin’ with people. They just ask me so much… yeah, I just like messin’ with people.

He measured at 6'9 barefoot out of the draft combine, so yeah, he's grown almost two inches.

I always thought his scrawniness made him appear taller than he actually is. True 7 footers don’t offensive rebound as poorly as he does nor handle as well.

a "true seven footer" also isn't the greatest scorer in NBA history. God, you idiots dick ride and hate on anything.

Hakeem and Ewing were both rumored to be less than their listed 7-foot. There's a good chance both of them were actually 6' 10" coming into the league, despite their 7-foot listings. So by the those 80s "in-shoes" measurements Durant would be a 7-footer, or even 7' 1" rounding up.
