jokes on you, he's one of the few in the league telling the truth by listing his actual height instead of a blown up number so as to seem bigger. To counter that silly perspective picture (am I the only one here who went to OMSI?), Boogie measured 6'9.5 & Jordan 6'9.75 at their pre-drafts STOMP
While we're on the subject, how'd your trout fishing go? Lol. Nevermind- you can post it in your fishing thread....
wife caught two rainbow trout..son caught two of the same including one that escaped my hook but ate my bait, turned around and he hooked it..I got a lot of bites...beautiful day on the McKenzie....lot of casting practice..I came up empty.My wife was thrilled. She caught her first fish in Oregon and she caught the first two of the day. I've yet to catch a rainbow in 4 fishing trips trying. Had great luck with the small mouth bass though
You mean how Durant was measured at 6'9 over 9 years ago when he was 19 years old? How accurate do you think those measurements are at this point?
Very accurate. The % of men who grow a significant amount (like an inch) over the age of 18 is lower single digits, yet fans regularly claim that their player(s) are the rare exception to the rule. I've researched this before linking scientific studies not low angled pictures with supposed growth freak standing closer, feel free to confirm on your own. btw, James measured 6'7.25 barefoot at his pre-draft STOMP
It is pretty widely talked about that Durant lies about his height. Do a quick google search. I'm not just making this up for the fuck of it.
Barkley was a 6'4 dude playing power forward. There was a REASON why he lied about being taller, just as Durant is a 7'0 dude playing SF so there's a reason why he's lying about his height as well.
I don't know why they lie, I think it's more amazing that super small guy (in NBA terms) can best guys 4-8 inches taller than him, or when a huge guy has perimeter skills.
It's like the movies...you don't realize Stallone is shorter than your sister and Tom Cruise is Michael J Fox sized...it's all smoke and mirrors in the entertainment bizz!
And it's not just speculation based on photographs. Boogie himself said that KD is every bit of seven feet.
