How tall is kg really

People who saw him next to 6-foot DeMarcus Cousins may see the discrepancies right away. Durant appears to have some fun in fudging numbers, however.

He seems to have some self-awareness of his height. He humorously added that his height is situational. Kevin Durant has given at least three heights. Home NBA. Historic inconsistencies. For years some players have been listed as taller -- and some shorter -- than they really are. The league clearly wants to change that. Among the motivations for this new policy, sources say, is the fact that Buddy Hield's age was found to be recorded incorrectly in The age certification is also interesting, since player age is often a topic of debate among fans.

In recent years, players such as Buddy Hield and Shabazz Muhammad have been found listed with false dates of birth. Some are just inaccuracies, especially in the case of players who have grown since their measurements were taken and just never been measured again. It was nothing egregious or all that bad in the first place, but these little urban myths of the NBA are going to be gone soon when players begin to report for training camp.

Place your bets now on whether Kevin Durant is actually taller than the big men on his team. Those days of little height lies, however, appear to be coming to an end. According to Marc Stein of The New York Times, the NBA will require teams to submit precise height measurements for players without shoes within the first week of training camp.

This could prove itself to be somewhat problematic for players who have been listed at one height for the duration of their careers, but then check in significantly shorter in the coming weeks. But Barea isn't the only player who could be affected by the new NBA measurement rule.

Here are a few who could lose the most inches once the real truth comes out. Thomas was surely one of the first names that popped into your head when thinking about players who look shorter than their listed height. The former All-NBA point guard referred to himself as in a essay in The Players' Tribune , so it won't be a surprise if he drops an inch or two once the official measurements are in.

This one could be close, but the eye test doesn't really support Paul hitting the 6-foot mark without shoes. Looking at photo evidence, Paul appears to be about the same height as Barea , who Nowitzki seems to think is not as tall as his listed height.

Yeah, this one might be a bit of a stretch. Walker has blossomed into an All-NBA point guard, but it wouldn't be much of a shock if he came in at under Much like Barkley, Tucker is an undersized power forward who is probably an inch or two shorter than his listed height. Most of his draft profiles before he entered the NBA listed him at , so unless he's grown an inch since then he's going to take a hit in his bio. Green was a second-round pick despite being an undersized power forward, so you can see why he might bump up his height to give NBA teams more incentive to draft him.

But according to his own coach, Steve Kerr, Green is more like 6-foot-5, which makes what he does defensively even more impressive.
