I thought Harden is always talked about as being 6’6”? Edit - he’s listed as 6’5” on the stat pages. He’s noticeably taller than Westbrook who’s listed as 6’3” and I think that is low for Westbrook too based on seeing him in person relatively close up. Westbrook is much taller in real life than he looks on TV.
The only legitimate info we have on players' heights are from combine measurements. The NBA doesn't care about the accuracy of listed heights at all. Players more or less get to pick what they want within reason. Durant being the best example still listed at 6'9".
Actually there was an article recently stating that with sports betting being legalized in areas, the NBA was concerned about player height being accurate as they needed to be more accurate to avoid issues with gambling being legal. So the nba is actually looking into it and has a concern.
If that’s true that’s great to hear. The league should just do height measurements before the beginning of each season (i’d even be fine with “in shoes” measurements since, you know… players don’t play barefoot). The fact that RPM factors height into its calculation when listed heights aren’t accurate to begin with is foolish to me.

Is that the girl from iCarly? She’s dating Drummond? No way?!
Edit - lol - I googled this and looks like they were dating but had an ugly breakup in 2014 where she accused him of leaking racy pictures of her! I guess I totally missed that being a story.

As stated before, many of these pictures are being taken from extremely distorted angles.
Kind of hard not to get a distorted angle when these guys tower over the photographers.

I remember being a kid, maybe 5 at best, and getting to meet Arvydas Sabonis. Pretty sure I came up to his knees.

Re: Just a Reminder How Big NBA Players Are
Steph Curry, who is usually considered small by NBA standards, is bigger than all of my friends and family members.
The tallest guy I knew personally worked in the copy room of a law office I used to work at and he was a regular white guy that was 6'8 and had really bad knees and never played any sports. Its amazing to me that you see guys that are even taller and that are so athletically gifted. They really are super-humans.

When I was 7 or 8, I stood next to Detlef Schrempf. I'm pretty sure I thought he was a tree at the time.

Even guys who look little and small on the court to us are taller than most regular people. Even 6’4” is a taller person in regular life and 6’6” and above is like a lifetime of “wow - you must play/have played basketball” comments...
Yep, I agree that this does a better job of putting things into perspective.
Isaiah Thomas is average height. Chris Paul is on the taller side. Kyrie Irving and Stephen Curry are tall in a way that clearly stands out in real life. Kawhi Leonard is in freakishly tall territory.
You mean Isiah Thomas right? Isaiah would stand out in any crowd for being so short.
No, he wouldn't. He's 5'9 my dude..
Here's a pic to show how big NBA players are.
