 6'7" and 3\4 to be exact, he did have a 35 inch vertical. White men can jump!

 But holy moly who thought the leading rebounder in the NBA, would not even stand 6'8". Impressice K Love.

 I guess size isn't everything.

He is listed as 6'10. Where did you see him listed as 6'7-6'8?

6'7 and 3/4 without shoes is about 6'9 legit. Pretty close to BBD, but with more length.

He and his team utterly took apart my Cavs. It was the Wolves, more than you or the Heat, that really started the downward spiral for my Cavs.
You can just call me WaveOcean, or Wave for short. I was not thinking straight when I chose my screenname.

I think BBD is about 6'6 without shoes, but he clings to that 6'9 number like a barnacle.

 Baby is actually listed at the exact same height as love without shoes.

I'd be interested where you found that. I couldn't find any predraft measurments for BBD..I think he either didn't do the rookie combine, or didn't allow himself to get measured.

I believe it was to conceal his t-rex arms.

t-rex arms, truer words never been said. Its 'unofficial measurements' Baby didn't participate if my memory serves me correctly. Even if he was 7feet tall, his short arms is a huge disadvantage.

Those aren't reliable. That little * next to his height and weight means they're estimated values, or the values Davis's camp gave. That's why next to reach and everything else there is an N/A.

Listed height and exact draft measurements almost never line up.

Most players are a actually an inch or an inch and a half shorter than their listed height. Basketball shoes give you at least an inch.  Most players who are like around 6', for instance, are actually shorter than that.  Nate Robinson is definitely not 5'9''.  

A couple players in the league are actually taller than their listed height, either because they have grown since their most recent listed measurement (Durant and Anthony Randolph had this happen), or because they are KG and don't want to be listed as 7' so they don't get put at center.

How tall do you really think DeJuan Blair is?  My guess is 6'4''...6'5'' at most.  I'm guessing Dwyane Wade isn't much over 6'2''.  And Iverson is probably 5'10''.
Never forget the Champs of '08, or the gutsy warriors of '10.
