Yeah that checks out, I've seen some people here mention that they met Russ in person and he's closer to 6'4

Game analysis, highlights and everything else that is happening in the NBA.
MJ was 6’4.75 for context
6'2.25 w/o shoes at the combine, strong doubt he has gained more than an inch at most...

Man I just don't get the urge some fans have to inflate NBA player heights, they're already tall as fuck. KD actually is between 6'9 and 6'10 we know this for a fact. I'd be willing to bet WB actually is 6'3 and Rondo is just smaller. As a rule of thumb, if a player is listed at a certain height, but he looks significantly taller than another player that's presumably the same height, then 9 times out of 10 oit's the second players height that's inflated in the listing and no one is under reported. Look at D Sabonis. He was listed at like 7'1 at some point and he's nowhere near that, there's just an incentive to inflate player height
