I know that NBA players aren't always as tall as they are listed. But apparently Kobe Bryant (always listed at 6' 6" or 6' 7") is 6' 4".
“Everyone thinks I’m 6 feet 7 inches tall. But just between you and me, I’m really 6-4.”
"Bryant, listed at 6-foot-7 when he entered the NBA and now listed at 6-6 (without the Afro, apparently), came clean with a grin: 'I'm probably 6-5 in sneaks.'"
It makes me wonder, what other sorts of exagerations they tell us about professional athletes.
