Comprehensive list of incorrect player heights in 2K19

[sc11421]

Can we make an official list of guys who have different heights in real life compared to their official listed height in NBA Rosters? It would help a lot of roster editing guys here and I don't think there's ever been a thread like this since I started coming to the OS forums for 2K16.

For example of the top of my head:

KD is listed at 6'9 even though we all know that's a blatant lie. Should be 7'0 or 6'11 imo
Joel Embiid is listed 7'0 but he's probably closer to 7'2 nowadays
Dwight is listed at 6'11 but definitely shorter in real life


Isiah Thomas is probably closer to 4'11

You should correlate this thread to a linked trusted source.

Who is to say, without question, and without doubt, and with authority, what is an NBA player’s height?

Doncic is 6'8''

Some guys just grow past their drafted height, which we can't really prove unless they get remeasured (like Jokic just did apparently, who's listed officially listed at 7'0 but is still at 6'10 in 2K19, also seems like Tatum's grown a bit based on his media day pictures and summer workout videos).

We could also use Draft Combine measurements (KD was at 6'10 in shoes during his, but he's 100% grown to 7' with shoes since) but a lot of top draft picks don't even do the combine anymore.

I guess the most concise sources we can use are either side by side pictures or other player anecdotes. Kind of like how when Jason Tatum said KD was definitely not 6'9 when he first played him.

(Sorry I used KD on a bunch of my examples lol. He's too easy of a target when mentioning false listed heights)

I forgot about him. He's definitely not 6'6 like he's listed in 2K and the NBA. I think I read somewhere that the NBA was going of his Real Madrid measurements from a year or two ago, because that was the only official thing they had at the time.

Why don’t we add 3 inches to everyone and be done with it?
