Can I ask a stupid quesion?

Some say that TD is actually 6 foot 10 tall and they say KG is standard 6'11 and Shaq is 7'1

When I look at some scenes or shots which are concerned about TD stands by KG and Shaq's side on courts I can see that TD is obviously shorter than KG about 1 inch

Anyone knows the answer about this question? what I wanna say is that no matter how tall TD is, I still root for him and love him like what I am doing in my daily life and why I ask a question like this is just my curiosity

Garnett grew 2 inches since coming into the league but I am sure Duncan has longer reach.

While you're at it, how tall is Mahinini? When it was reported he had successful surgery he was listed at 6'10. I always thought he was 6'11.

I remember seeing something where Garnett didn't want to be listed as 7 feet, so they just kept saying he's 6'11". He's more like 7'.. maybe a tad more.

It is common for people to shrink in old age..but in their 30's? Tim better watch his calcium intake...that is what got Bill Walton, he was a vegatarian who didn't eat right...

Is tim a vegitarian too?

Duncan isn't 6'10, he's definitely bigger than that..

KG's listed height is too short..

Duncan is at least 6'11..

The only point is is that we would't trade Tim for Garnett and his twin brother.

As others have said, Duncan listed at 7' was a marketing thing with the Spurs to play up the 'Twin Towers' angle. After Robinson retired Duncan asked the team to list him at his 'real' height of 6'11. I believe the Spurs Media Guide changed for the '03-'04 season.

You've got to be careful if you're trying to tell with pics, Duncan slouches.

Does it really matter how tall Tim is?

KG is a little taller than his listed height of 6'11". One time Flip Saunders called him 6'13" because Garnett didnt want to be listed or known as a 7 footer. I guess like Tim he feels maybe people assume 7 footers as centers, or being limited.

Its clear KG has about half an inch on Tim, so my best bet would be 6'11" in shoes, maybe a fraction taller, and about 6'10" without. I think the lucky thing for Tim is that he doesnt have much of a neck, so his shoulders are higher than most guys his height - which gives him a bit of a standing reach advantage.

Its all semantics anyway.

Tim Duncan is 10 feet tall. That 6'11" measurement is his shoulder span, which is how he can carry an entire team.

right, right... but duncan still looks like a midget when he stands next to you, you're a giant. You're so high that your son always misthink your penis as his mother's nipples, they are at the same height. but the liquid he sucks from your penis doesn't taste as good as that from the nipples, though your son has never complained about that.

but how did you reproduce your son with such a small penis?

KG is an inch or two taller than TD but it really doesn't matter, if you'll notice Tim's shoulder is equal to KG's, it's just that KG's neck and head is long. Also, you'll see that Tim's elbow is lower than KG, which means he has a longer wingspan. Overall, Tim has better reach whether vertical or horizontal than KG. Add the fact that KG is now known as GayG, Tim's height is really not a concern. :lol

i would say Td is clearly bigger than Amare who is 6' 10"" and very similar to Dirk without hair who is 7'0.

Nowitzki is as big as KG.I would say TD is very similar to them too

6'11" or 7'0

Pau is bigger because his 7'0 in the NBA aren't real.He always was 2,15m here in Spain.7'0 is 2'13m and 7'1 is 2'16m.
Obviously that's why in this pic Pau seems to be taller than TD,Dirk or KG

Remember with pics it's hard to tell because Duncan slouches. Here's a couple more. It seems likely Duncan is shorter than both Dirk and Robinson. I'm not sure how tall he is, though I don't think he's a true 6'11.

All that matters is how big he plays. :)

It seem like Dirk is closer to camera which can make him seem couple inches taller.
