Kevin Durant's height is officially listed as 6 feet 11 inches (2.11 meters)
. However, Durant himself has stated multiple times that he is actually around 6 feet 9 inches tall, suggesting that many other players might be exaggerating their heights while he keeps his accurate at 6'9"
. In 2019, when the NBA mandated barefoot measurements, Durant was measured at about 6'10" without shoes, which aligns with his own claims of being slightly shorter than his listed height
. Despite this, Durant often appears close in height or even taller than other NBA players listed at 6'10" or 7 feet in photos, leading to ongoing debate among fans and analysts
. In summary:
- Official NBA listing: 6'11" (2.11 m)
- Durant's own claim: 6'9" to 6'10" barefoot
- Measured barefoot height in 2019: about 6'10"
This discrepancy is partly due to the common practice in the NBA of listing players' heights with shoes on and sometimes inflating them slightly
