    exactly.
    It's not uncommon for 7'0 guys to purposely list at below 7'0 for fear that people think they're not as mobile or versatile (or whatever the reason). KD, Garnett, a couple others in the NBA that list below their height for years. KD was 6'9, now he's listed at 6'11. I wonder if that's what Condo is thinking. At 6'11.25 barefoot he could easily list at 7'0 or even 7'1 if he wanted to.

    How can anybody miss that kid? When they were walking to the stage, he was behind Condon and others. Of course, you can only see his neck because he's so tall.

    In fairness, Trump is 78 years old so it is quite likely that he was once 6'3" but is a bit shorter now.

    I can confirm. I was 5'8-3/4" at some point in my life. When I went for physical this year I measured at 5'7".

    I think that’s unusual that you haven’t shrunk at all.

    For those with shrinkage, I recommend this, but you need to start sooner rather than later.

    Sigh, it's the offseason I guess I'll go along with discussing height. It's normal to lose 2" in height from age 40 to age 78. Also, people round their height - I'm 6' 1.5" but just state 6' 2" because no one in the world ever writes down 6' 1.5", lol.

    In college I was 6' 2" even. At age 71 I am 6' 1.5". There @iam4uf, I wrote it. LOL.

    Funny thing was that at 8th grade graduation I was 5' 4" and at the end of my high school freshman year I was 6'. I have stretch marks on my knees that look like scars.

    In high school, I was 6'-1". At 40, I was 6'-0". At 68, I'm 6'-10". New growth spurt, I guess.

    I'm 5-11 1/2 in stocking feet, but I never say I'm 6' tall cuz I'm afraid someone will call me out for stretching the truth.:D

    My Dad used to be funny about his height because he always claimed he was 5-11 and 1/2 as well but he was visibly shorter than me. I would razz him about it and he would always reply: That's what Uncle Sam measured me at. I would reply that it was a typical Army SNAFU.

    Last physical I had I brought a tape measure because the office didn’t know how to adjust the height measured.

    It’s the off-season. This is how we get to know each other so we can gel once the regular season starts.
