How much moisture does NBA players have?

7:16pm, 28 May 2025Basketball

Welcome back to the Shisan Arena.

For basketball, height is of course a crucial condition.

Even in the small ball era, the truth that one inch tall and one inch strong still applies - being able to shoot three points, Wenban Yama is more attractive than Chett, Towns, Markkanin and others.

Many times, height also determines the player's position on the field; even if the position division is now quite vague, it is impossible to have a center forward with a height of less than 190cm.

So in NBA history, there are many players who are fake in terms of height in order to play their favorite positions - those who report high or those who report low, are there.

, and the NBA has always measured players' heights more casually. For a long time, it has not strictly distinguished between bare feet and shoe heights, leaving players with room for operation.

Today, let’s take a look at the star players who are obviously well-behaved since NBA history.

First, I'm talking about the height higher than that of AI -

First, the shortest No. 1 pick in history, with a registered height of 183cm, which is a disadvantage in the NBA; but his actual height is about 180cm...

In the photo above, Wade, who is 193cm tall, is obviously a little taller than AI and Paul;

But the official height of Paul with his back is still slightly taller than Iverson with his chest straight...

Secondly Irving and Lillard, both of whom were 191cm in the draft that year, but now they are both 188cm tall - but Lillard's actual height is probably less than 188cm.

For example, when he was in the same frame with Westbrook, who was 191cm tall, the difference between the two was obviously more than 3cm.

Of course, Curry's official height in the early days was also 191cm, but later it was also changed to 188cm;

Clay changed from 201cm to 198cm;

and Doncic, who first entered the league, registered height of 201cm, and now it is also 198cm...

The difference between these 3cm is probably because the NBA uniformly registers according to its bare feet height after 2019.

However, the data source is still reported by each team, so it is still difficult to avoid certain moisture - after all, the opinions of some players still have to be taken into account. But the gap between some players is so big that the team is embarrassed to cover it up for him.

For example, Bagley, the second-tier player in 2018, was registered at 211cm and then shrunk to 203cm... Perhaps, did he count his hair?

Of course, there is also the former "Warcraft" Howard, who is registered at 211cm tall. Later, during the Lakers body test, it was revealed that he was 206cm tall...

, it is no wonder why he was obviously shorter when he was in the same frame with Bosh, who was also 211cm.

In addition, short inside players like Zhu Meng, Da Ben, and Faried will also report their height to a higher level - after all, you have to stand in the inside, of course you have to be as tall as possible.

Among them, Zhu Meng and Faried were both 203cm in height at that time, but later they both became 198cm;

Da Ben is 206cm in height, but his actual height is almost the same as Jordan of 198cm...

and the Pistons Five Tigers Bar that year - Prince on the left of Da Ben is 206cm in height, while Rashid Wallace on the right is 208cm...

Please: What is the real height of Da Ben?

Then, the most well-known ones who deliberately lowered their heights were Garnett and Durant, who were both the main players who didn't want to play inside.

Among them, KG is 211cm tall, but when he and Duncan stand together, the height difference is clear at a glance.

Durant is registered at 206cm, which is now said to be 208cm, but his actual height may be more than 10.

After all, when he was in the same frame with Cousins ​​of 211cm, he looked no shorter than the latter...

and thick eyebrows. When he was in the Pelicans a few years ago, there was news that he was over 210cm tall, but now his official height is still 208cm.

Perhaps because he had already said it bluntly back then - he didn't like this new height data.

In order not to play No. 5, he really did his best.

Finally, do you know which players whose actual height is significantly different from the official height?
