I just looked up some stats on Garnett and Howard. They're the same height, give or take an inch based on who you ask, and KG is only about 10lbs lighter.

Why do I think of KG as really lanky compared to DH then?

Is this just me?

Kg is taller i think.. Dwight is around 6'10 while KG is 6 11 according to most database. havent checked their FIBA measurements, that would be their shoeless height

Dwight's listed weight gas got to be from his rookie year. Even if not, they have different body structures. Kg has longer limbs.

Dwight really bulked up since his rookie year.

All the times the celtics have played the magic the past 5 years and they have stood next to each other and you had to look up the "lists"? And actually believe that kg is 1 inch taller than howard?  I would say KG has him by at least 2 probably 3 inches.

There is a bunch of attitude everywhere on the blog lately. I thought I was in the minority in wanting to strange certain folks but I guess not.

Back to business, yeah its a wag to say how tall KG is. Id guess he is 7'1" or better in shoes while DUwhite is 6'11"
DOOOY White has bulked up too

Sheed was another guy who was way taller than he was listed at, while Baby seems shorter for obvious reasons. Tony Allen dwarfs other guys listed at 6"4" and seemed taller than Judas Allen though Judas listed as an inch taller

Yeah, I had some floor seats a couple of years ago and I was surprised how much taller KG was than Dwight. Sheed was much taller too.

KG slouches a lot, too. It makes him seem shorter than he actually is. You sort of have to see him in the motions of the game, rather than standing around, to get a feel for his true height.
