If he hasn't already been pointed out, the greatest exageration goes to guys who are listed at 6' or 6'1". For some reason there is a huge perception barrier for guys competiting in the draft that are just under 6 feet. It can mean the difference of over a million dollars for some guys so their agents really push for that 6 foot listing.

Kevin Garnett is a lot taller than him and he's 6'11. Duncan is probably about 6'9 or 6'10.

KG might have an inch on Duncan, but I wouldn't say he's "A lot" taller.

Dirk looks a little taller than Timmy too.

But just for the record, all these guys saying TD is short - TD used to Tower over my Knicks - he's way taller than guys like Oakley & Kurt Thomas.

something ive noticed about kg
in pictures he tries to look shorter
he lifts his head up and he doesnt have good posture

i bet that with very good posture and his head not raised up he'd get close to 7' barefoot.
