Im not sure who was measuring heights in OKC but im sure he got fired. They listed KD at 6’9 when he really 6’10.75 basically 6’11. Serge Ibaka was listed at 6’9 when he was like 7’0. I wanted to post a picture of Russ standing next to rondo where he was atleast 4 inches taller then him but you cant post pics here. Rondo listed at 6’2 and Russ 6’3, Russ is way taller than that.

Lebron in a interview said something interesting last night. “The clippers are long and tall, kawhi and PG 6’8 and Russ is way taller than his listed height.” Lebron was his teammate for 2 seasons so I’m sure lebron knows Russ real height. If I had to guess he’s around 6’5 ish. Next time you watch Russ play against a 6’3ish guard I bet you Russ will a inch or 2 taller.

    Yeah that checks out, I’ve seen some people here mention that they met Russ in person and he’s closer to 6’4

    Man I just don’t get the urge some fans have to inflate NBA player heights, they’re already tall as fuck. KD actually is between 6’9 and 6’10 we know this for a fact. I’d be willing to bet WB actually is 6’3 and Rondo is just smaller. As a rule of thumb, if a player is listed at a certain height, but he looks significantly taller than another player that’s presumably the same height, then 9 times out of 10 oit’s the second players height that’s inflated in the listing and no one is under reported. Look at D Sabonis. He was listed at like 7’1 at some point and he’s nowhere near that, there’s just an incentive to inflate player height
