On par with Dirk (a recognized 7'0) with his head slightly tilted back, tad taller than TD/Okur, lot taller than A'mare.

Sorry for derailing, but this made me google old all star team photos :lol: . Just as I thought.

Just noticed Kobe is always holding onto the ball.

Something, something ballhogging.

As I was reading the thread title, I thrilled at the thought that someone was making a joke post about Kevin Garnett's ceiling.

Does anyone doubt that the NFL could create another -gate off fake heights?

I thought his line was always that he didn't want to be viewed as a center, so he said he was 6'12" heh I was disappointed that wasn't an option in the poll.

He's 7'1. A guy on operation sports got that height from his friend that work for the league and has access to the league measurments database, where the heights and weights are real ones

OT: Does the leading vote getter hold the ball?

KG was a little shorter than Shaq and a little taller than Duncan so I think he is 7feet and half a inch.

He's definitely a tall guy. Taller than the great Pistol Pete Maravich, but not quite so tall as star of Space Jam and #14 shot blocker in NBA history Shawn "The Stormin' Mormon" Bradley. He is 7 foot even in shoes, the photos seem to support this assertion.

Yeah, he didn't want to go down the Tim Duncan road where everyone is second-guessing his position and saying he's really been a center his whole career......
I'm so tired of the typical......

Guys like Garnett, Duncan, and Walton all have said things about being adamant about NOT being 7' tall because that makes you a "freak" in the regular world, where as being 6 foot something is less more normal, and that in the NBA, particularly before now, being 7' basically meant you were a post player only, and you weren't versatile, and you got less credit for your actual skill set, as people basically just acted like you were good because you were big. Look how the NBA has treated guys like Shaq and Wilt.

Honestly, Shaq is the only guy that ever truly embraced his size, and wasn't shy about it.
