KD never wanted to play Center and that's why he doesn't claim 7'. It made more sense when he was young and entering the league but now that he's established, he really should just own it. Nobody is going to make him play Center at this point
0:35 Kevin Garnett is actually 7'1, Keyshawn in right (the Slam magazine article with Stephon Marbury and KG on the cover together, for reference). But he was always listed at 6'11
Davis is 6'10" max. People get confused because his arms are so long which allows him to block a lot of shots. Embiid is significantly taller than Davis. You can see the discrepancy when they are playing side by side. I think Embiid is a legit 7'0", and KD is very close to 7 feet. So was Dirk.
😂bro I said it day 1 of his introduction. He was trash at ESPN. He’s trash here too. And as soon as I said I’m not watching this bs when he talks u got destroyed…. Now he done ran skip off😂
Durant 7 feet but he don't wanna claim it bcuz if they make him center the ppl he gonna play against gonna push n pull him where they want he can guard a Kevin Garnett or a Tim Duncan better than a shaq

They used to say Rodman was 6’9 Rodman said himself I’m only 6’6-7. Jordan was really around 6’4.5 Pippen was 6’7-8. If these guys played in the nfl there heights would be listed more accurately.
He's easily 7 foot. I've played against and seen Greg Ostertag and Oliver Miller from middle school to the NBA and when I got up close to KD, he's easily right there with them. Unless he's wearing thicker shoes and he's just going by being barefoot, he's at least 7 foot tall.

They are probably scared that if you're 7(+) feet, front offices may experiment with him at the center spot lol.. I believe it's that simple, avoiding the role he doesn't want to play at
Because they want the mystique of some of their players. I'm 6'2 on my best day and I've stood next to Steph Curry before, we're the same height. But they list him at 6'3 because they know to some people it makes a difference
Tatum is not 6’10. Kid is 6’9 and Tatum is 6’8. NFL uses legitimate and accurate heights and not the nba Paul pierce is not 6’7. Look at him next to Keyshawn who is 6’4 there is only about a 1 inch difference in height. Pierce is about 6’5 and Tatum 6’8 is kd is 6’9.5 and Anthony Davis 6”9
This is really a topic????? Most NBA list their height with shoes on (1-2 inches). I’ve met CP3 & Kemba im taller than both and I’m 6ft. Kyrie and Curry are 6’1.
I think KD doesn’t want to be listed at 7ft bc then he’d be expected to guard the big man position and have to be more physical than he’d like. KD came into the NBA when bigs were BIG and strong af. He’d have looked more like Dirk had that happened.
18 years ago sure but right now he's guarding most of the PF and sometimes even centers. I don't think it has anything to do with that..I think he's telling the truth but people are just running with the 10 year old joke about KD's height
i think this is basically it. KD didnt want to be a big he wanted to do what he does. if he was listed at 7 coaches would have tried to beef him up and play center and fk all that.
Bro in this photo it looks like KD is 4 inches taller than Tatum. Tatum is 6’7 max without shoes and 6’8 with shoes. KD is definitely 6’10 1/2 -6’11 without shoes and tops out on 7ft with shoes

Keyshawn keeps asking why KD doesn't want to be 7" tall, they giving the answers but he keeps asking the same question 😂😂
The better question is why KD is holding up what could be JB roster spot on Olympic Team, a healthy KD definitely belongs.
What ??? Cause he the best Olympic player of all time .., cause he is going to be back when the tournament start ..
KD is 6’11 - 7’0.

KD, is trolling you. What is KD's Jersey Number? You are being trolled. LOL
Keyshawn asked the same question 30 times, dude is just bad at this job.
Damn skip they at this point talking about height ..smh
He didn’t want to be 7 feet because when he entered the league he didn’t want to be forced to play and be regarded as a center.
Paul pierce isn’t 6’7 lol he’s shorter then that 😂😂😂
And Garnett isn’t 7’0 either he’s 6’10

Spot on. 6’10 3/4 no shoes
Why dont nba teams measure all players barefoot each season and post it online? That takes out all the guessing.
Because they want the mystique of some of their players. I'm 6'2 on my best day and I've stood next to Steph Curry before, we're the same height. But they list him at 6'3 because they know to some people it makes a difference
KD is a legit 7 footer probably like 7’1
Kd 7 feet for sure
I have seen KD in person when he was playing for the nets he looks around 6'9"/6'10" no taller
Other players are saying he is a 7 footer
@wadek798 they lying because ain't no way he's 7'0". Yes, he is very tall, but my guess would be anywhere in the 6'9"/6'10" range for KD
Ive always liked skip, but i dont care for the other 2.
Well you better enjoy him before he signs off for good.
kd played all positios except center and playmaker, Lebron and magic did it

6'11-7

He's too thin to play center so He runs from it.
