    I don't believe that Garnett is taller than Shaq.

    I've heard that a few times, but never seen it. Maybe someone can get a picture? Or maybe I can find one...or not.

    It was HoustonTX, that said that Garnett was 7'1". But to me
    he seems 7'0", (or just a tad bit over 7 foot). But HoustonTX
    might be right. Not sure.

    I don't have exact numbers for Garnett (don't know where HoustonTX
    got his). But, I do know that Garnet is over 7ft.

    Shaq on the other hand is not 7'1". That's my point. They might
    meet in the middle. I have to check on this...

    The two players that I want to know their real height are Dirk and Kevin.
    They hide their real height because they don't want to break the stereotype
    for the positions they play.

    You are not likely to find a pic of them together as that is the reason he has not wanted to be listed at his true height. He never wanted to play center on offense or on D.

    You may think "well, maybe Shaq has guarded him." That is unlikely being that would mean Shaq would be facing a 3.
