Question

http://www.nba.com/media/kb24lbj_300_080304.gif

Kobe is 6'4

lebron 6'8

but the height difference makes lebron seem shorter/ kobe taller

Answer 1

it depends...like if your a short big man theyll list u taller..like the list charles barkely at 6'6 and hes 6'4 or patrick ewing at 7when he's like 6'9 it just depends

Answer 2

That's not a four inch difference.

Answer 3

I wouldn't trust nba.com's listed heights for a second. There's so much intentional over- or under-exaggeration that at best the listed heights will be within 2 or 3 inches of the truth.

Try looking for draft combine measurements if you want better accuracy. draftexpress.com has some incomplete data of that.

Answer 4

Kobe is 6,6 idiot

"many sources say kobe is 6'4"

NBA.COM says he is 6,6 and that is the ONLY one that counts...Wade is 6,4 and Kobe is taller then him when you see them next to each other.

Answer 5

kobes 6'6 and also sometimes the height given out is with shoes
