    Paul George's Height

    Sigh, it has happened again. 2K have changed Paul George's height from 6'9" to 6'8" in the latest roster update.

    He is the only player that I know of in the NBA that, according to 2K, grows and shrinks between the heights of 6'8" to 6'10" periodically throughout the season. 2K has done this EVERY year for the past three years now.

    Why can't they get this right? He's listed as 6'9" on the Pacer's official team roster. And don't even get me started on Andre Drummond's height.

      They were changing his height based on their own reasons which could be because:

      1. He's not 6'9" fully, close though.
      2. People thought he was 6'10 because a lot of big men are over listed.
      3. Ronnie is 6'7-8" and has seen him up close.
      4. Some people feel barefoot height is real height (unlike NBA trying to market their players to appear larger than life), such as Durant (6'9" barefoot).

      Drummond is 6'11.75" in shoes but only because he wears 2" soles.

      Paul George 6'8.75" in shoes in 1" soles.

      KD is 6'10.25" in 1.25" soles (since he's always a popular topic, gave you guys that one extra).

      Shaq was around 6'11" in socks, but wore monstrously huge shoes giving around 3"

        Dang down to the sole length, lol.

        The problem with 2K is they have some players height with shoes and some without.

        I read somewhere were KD is 6'11" with shoes and ESPN's height and weight is off.

        I can't remember when the last time Diaw weighed 235, possible 6yrs ago.

          Paul George should be 6'8, because It's his original height.

            no standardized measure of height without/with shoes.

            Andre Drummond is listed as 6'10 on NBA.com
            Paul George is listed as 6'9 on NBA.com

              They don't play in their socks. I'd go by playing height.

                    Right I go by the height they play in shoes because they don't play barefoot on the court

                        actually he is about 7'2 barefoot and 7'4 in socks. when he puts his shoes on he is about 7'7 or 7'8 and a half. plus he has grown out his hair adding a few inches so i say he is around 7'10. 2k is way off and needs to fix this

                            I would always go by shoe height. Because that's how they would be in a real game. Only exceptions are people who basically where 0" soled shoes, which is no one.

                            Seriously, teams should measure everyone in in-game height during height and report back to the NBA. Cause I highly doubt a doctor would lie about height. Maybe weight, but not height, unless of course, they were payed to.

                              I wear 2.5 inch height soles to make me feel taller and I can barely walk let alone run in them.. So I don't understand how a player could use 2 inch ones and play. Oh yeah and how the heck do people know players sole sizes haha
