KG and Perk heights.

[Gomesfan]

I noticed in the picture of the Celtics at the white house that KG seemed to be four to five inches taller than KP-43. They have KP listed at 6'10" and KG at 6'11" so if you look at this picture ( and I do understand positioning to the camera and blah blah blah) they are stand as close togethewr and at close to the same distant to the camera any ways if the Celtics list Perk at six foot ten then KG has to be  around 7'2"-7'4".
 Not to beat a dead horse but he is taller then they list!
Here is the picture


Sorry if someone already brought this picture up!

I have read that KG is actually 7'1"  In one interview he said that he wasn't a 7 footer... He said was 6'13"

I definitely don't see what you see.  It looks to me that KG is no more than 2-3 inches taller than Perk (which is about right).  It seems to be pretty well accepted by now that KG is somewhere around 7'1"

[Gomesfan]

....And they list Peirce at 6'7" and he has at least seven inches on P2. I am a builder and I have a good eye for inches, 1/32, 1/8/,1/4 and so on...

[Gomesfan]

I have heard similar things. That he insisted on being listed at a height under 7' in the draft becuase he did not want to be known as a big guy who can only play on the block,

[billysan]

pierce said during an interview that he is actually over 7 feet. he's 7 feet to begin with, then you add shoes...

We must be looking at different photos then.  I just used a ruler to see where the top of Perks head comes up to on KG, and it came to the bottom of the shadow on KGs forehead, a couple inches above his eyebrows.

Yeah, that is crazy, but what really surprised me was how tall PJ Brown was.  I mean, I interviewed him in the locker room a number of times and I had no idea he was over 8 feet

Love it. Did not catch it the first time; but he says 6'-11" and some quarters. 8 quarters perhaps?

[cdif911]

the real thing to note is how huge Rondo is, he must be like 7'2 in that picture, and PJ Brown, man he must be 8 feet tall - oh wait they're on risers, riggght

[cdif911]

Conspicuously absent, Big Baby, Eddie House, Sam I Am, Scal and the king of the injured reserve, Scot Pollard...am I missing anyone? Besides Posey obviously - kinda weird that PJ Brown showed up, guess he has nothing better to do

[JR Giddens]

LOL Powe is listed at 6'8 and PJ listed at 6'9. In that pic PJ has like 4 inches on Powe. Is PJ on some special riser or sumthin
