Nenad Kristic: 6'11
Chris Kaman: 6'11½
Greg Oden: 6'11

Can't say about the others since none of the Russian/Ex-bloc players showed up for the draft combine.

Sorry, but you're using barefoot measurements. I mean, Kobe isn't 6'6 barefoot. MJ isn't 6'6 barefoot. If we use the measurements like that, all heights in all positions are going to change. I consider most of the guys in your list 7 footers simply because they're 7 footers in shoes and that's how they are when they play.

Awesome! It be interesting to see also a similar list regarding wingspans since that can make a difference, such as Rondo's.

The league has a lot of 7 footers. The real problem is that we don't talented 7 footers like we had in the past.

So you mean NHL players are on average 7 feet tall right >_>

trust me, I think it's dumb too, but they actually measure with shoes on. MJ was around 6'4.75''-6'5'' for example, but they list him at 6'6'' because of shoes.
