Embiid is legit 7 footer.

I think that’s the point—if Embiid is coming in at 7 ft no way in hell Doma is matching him.

Yes, I've seen them next to each other on the court, Embiid looks so much bigger.

I started playing 2k for the first time in years. Was laughing how giant sabonis is compared to Jokic. Sabonis is probably 6'10 at the most honestly. Didn't seem that much bigger than Looney

That's 2019. Same height as Turner who is 6'11".

They are not, bad angles will do wonders. Turner is taller.
By how much? 1 inch lol.

Did he factor in curvature when measuring?

David Robinson. 5'9 Junior year of High School, 6'6 Senior year of High school. Then 2 years later 7'0

Dwight Howard. 5'10 in 8th grade, 2 years later 6'9

Dwight's is pretty normal in terms of when the growth spurt happened, that's where it happens for a lot of guys, but 8 inches AFTER high school is quite dramatic. Robinson's is also a good after highschool amount, assuming they weren't leading highschool young.
