Just curious to what y’all think. If you google him it says 6’7” but I’ve always heard 6’9”. His measurement at the combine was unofficial and he easily could’ve grown. There’s tons of articles about him being taller. After googling pictures of him next to certain players on the court he’s definitely closer to 6’10”. How tall do y’all think he is?
I’ve never seen him play in person so I can’t say I’ve noticed. I remember seeing Dwight Howard in person after hearing people talk about how big he was and he’s definitely more like 6’9” maybe 6’10” at most. Same with Durant but he was taller than advertised, he’s a legit 7ft.
Pics for comparison

The NBA sent officials to take heights for every player(without shoes) last year so that they could end that foolishness. The only Pelican who changed was Zion from 6’7 to 6’6. And just judging off pics alone, I’d say it’s pretty easy to just say that the 6’7 for BI is probably accurate.

As far as your Dwight assessment, he was one of the players downgraded to 6’9 last year.

Yeah I remember the players were pissed because they were like “why do we have to be measured without shoes when we play in shoes?” But I remember watching Ingram drive to the basket against several big guys and he’s right there with them. So you think maybe it’s his shoes lol?

A picture that only shows the upper body doesn't show if someone is standing up straight. Dwight Howard is in stride coming towards what looks like a still standing lebron waiiting on him. And you dont know the angle. Thats why those photos are terrible evidence.

With that said, Ingram is at least 6’9” and is pushing another inch.

Edit: The last photo is what is needed for proof.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I always thought the combo of height and wingspan is really the most important measurement.

BI was standing next to Jaxson in the game Monday and when i saw it i thought, man he's almost as tall as Jaxson is, so either Hayes isn't 6'11", or BI isn't 6'7" b/c there wasn't 4" difference that i saw. Although it's a bit tough with both of their hair.

According to bb reference Lonzo is 198 cm, Ingram is 201 cm, and James is 205 cm.

Looking at the pictures it looks like he and LeBron are close in height and he is clearly taller than ball by more than 3 cm.

But again like someone said it could be all shoes and angles. Who really knows.

Isn't Lebron still listed at 6'9"? If so, either his is overstated or BI understated.

I only used cms to more precisely compare, since they don't list the heights by quarter inches on that site (not sure why).

But according to that site Lonzo and Ingram would be less than an inch and a quarter difference in height, and that doesn't seem right.

BI would appear to be taller than he's listed, or everyone else is shorter. Maybe it was from his rookie year and he grew a couple of inches since then.

OK, if he’s 6’9, where’d the 6’7 come from? He stands taller in his shoes than other players? ....Mystery

Same place Lebron is listed at 6'9" and AD at 6'10". Look at AD and Lebron next to each other and tell me if you think there is only an inch difference. Seems that measuring in bare feet is not as "standard measurement" as thought.

Many scouts and coaches will tell you wingspan is more important than height

Ingram had a 7’ 3.25” wing before the draft. When referencing Ingram’s draft measurables, remember he was the youngest player in the draft. Ingram had near identical measures to Giannis predraft
