    How tall's Rip? 6'5"? That looks just about right there if Big Ben is just an inch or two taller than him.

    Tmac being 6'10" is also true. Garnett said it, and I THINK Mac himself confirmed it. And if you look at pics from adidas's ads with KG, Tmac and TD side by side, he looks just about 6'10" given that KG and Duncan are both legit 7-footers.

    No way t-mac is 6'10".

    Go to gettyimages and search for Hakeem. There will be a picture of Hakeem with his arm around t-mac from the celebrity softball game. Hakeem is clearly 2-3 inches taller than t-mac. If t-mac is 6'10" than Hakeem was a legit 7' if not 7'1"

    I always thought he was 6'7". the guy can leap out the gym, that's how he blocks shots.

    Wallace is a shade under 6-6. The Wizards tried to play him as a SG for that reason.

    Hakeem was listed 6-11 barefoot by his draft measurement, I'm not sure where this 6-10 in shoes myth started.

    If Hakeem(7'ft) is 2-3inches taller than T-mac, then that would make T-mac 6-9-6'10".

    Hakeem said in his autobiography that he is closer to 6'10" than he is to 7'.
