    Sengun is taller. We've some rtards on here and on Twitter (one of them is Roosh) that think that they have the vision of Legolas. Nobody really can tell if a dude grew an inch or didn't by simply watching him on tv (and live ffs you can't even stop and take a closer look). So some ppl on rocketswatch and twitter post some photos and i dug deep and now i'm more than convinced that he's 6'11. That Osmani guy is actually listed 7'0 on his own club's website and listed either 6'11 or 7'0 all over the internet but let's say that he's 6'11. In this recent photo Sengun does not look shorter than him so he's 6'11. Link below.

    website of his current team apparently.

    https://darussafakabasketbol.com/oyuncu/ercan-osmani/ (213 cm = 7'0")

    FIBA website

    All jokes aside, because Sengun is awkwardly built; long neck, narrow shoulders and short arms, its hard to depict what his size truly is. We are all just guessing.

    I think he's somewhere between 6'9 - 6'10.

    The thing is i don't see why he would lie. Nobody in the rockets gives a f.k what he says they are gonna measure him anyways. Does he think that he can fool executives? No. Is he incapable of measuring himself correctly? What measuring method does he use? Doesn't make sense to me. Maybe he knows that fans have been saying that he was undersized and wants to win them over by lying to them? That also doesn't make any sense because even if he managed to fool us if he looks undersized next season ppl are gonna change their tune again. I think the only logical explanation is that his neck is like 2-3 inches longer than average human's neck it messes with ppl's mind. He wins the inches he loses with his short torso.

    Sorry for late reply. It wasn't made clear. I think it had to do with not making a practice or something. Probably had to do with him having to travel, not entirely clear. It was coaches decision, nothing too important.

    Have you ever met actual humans or followed basketball?

    People lie about basketball heights literally all the time - people lie about height on their drivers license. That's why there was the nonsnse about "real heights, without shoes" being made "official" a few years back.

    Karl Malone would regularly be listed at 6-11 in basketball programs and local newspapers. He's probably 6-8.

    Jordan was variously listed at 6-6 and 6-7 despite being 6-4.5

    Olajuwan - listed at 7, actually 6-10.75

    Etc ad nauseum.

    Just want to point out, Sam, that it was the UH program that lied about Dream's height. The big fella simply went along with it. Besides, he definitely played like a seven footer, if not taller.

    ;-)

    Yeah dude we are all androids you are the only mammal here. I said he himself stated it multiple times i was not talking about his listed height. They might even list him 7 and he could go along with it like many players do but he stepped up and said it which is unusual.
