I know that Aldridge is not taller than Drummond and Davis, so it's probably some sort of depth perception issue in the photo.

Often when certain pictures seem to question heights it's usually because of depth in the photo.

How do you know that when this picture demonstrates the opposite?


Because you have no actual relationship to where they are standing. We have a general idea for sure, but if one guy is slightly in front of another it can throw off the perception. Come on, you know this right.

Haha yeah but it's not like they created that image. You can't be next to someone and create that illusion unless it was intentional

KD looks a little bit smaller than Serge in this picture. Serger is 6'10. Most likely KD is 6'9 and at best is 6'10. No way is he 7 feet like some people hype him up to be.

Where's the picture?

Pretty sure the only optical illusion is KDs skinny frame making him look several inches taller.

Yeah I never got it. I always knew KD was about 6'9" to 6'10" range yet people keep calling him a "7 footer"

IIRC, Draymond was measuer before draft at 6'5 and a half. So yeah, he's probably closer to 6'5 than his listed 6'7.

Thats an old photo. On the other hand there are photos where Durant looks almost as tall as Marc Gasol. I would say Durant is solid NBA standard 6'11. I am saying NBA standard, because in real life, none of these guys are as tall as NBA claim, they measure guys with shoes and even after that often add another cm it seems. Anyway, Durant is pretty damn tall.

He also has a little more padding in the behind. Almost like he's sitting on a phonebook.

Aldridge is a tree.

But yea, like I said in the other thread, Durant isn't 7 feet like everyone keeps saying. He's a solid 6'10.

From left to right: George 6'8", Love 6'9", Durant 6'10", Davis 6'11", Drummnd 6'11", Aldridge 7'0".

Durant outright admitted he is 7ft. Straight from the horses mouth:

The one thing that really irks me is how outdated a players weight and height are. The get measured once they are drafted and this pretty much it.

He can admit it all he wants, doesn't mean it's true.

He just isn't.
