Kevin Love and height liars in shoes - ESPN - TrueHoop- ESPN
By A Mystery Man Writer
Description
Stumbled across this when I wrote of Dwight Howard as a 6-9 center. Some of you just could not accept the recorded fact that Dwight Howard is six-foot-nine. This, despite a link to evidence of Howard's barefoot height. I was astounded, perplexed and in search of even more synonyms to describe a state of utter confusion, shock, and befuddlement. We have his combine measure--his combine measure. Why do you insist on listening to some sorcerer's Magic listing?Others believed that barefoot height does not matter because in shoes is the favored metric. I've heard it before, the argument goes: They play in shoes. I can be sympathetic to this logic line--for a second.In-game Dwight Howard may well tower to 6-11. But, do we record NFL player height in helmet? Do we weigh boxers in gloves? Do we act like jockeys are centaurs and measure them on horse? Of course not, because all of this can be quantified independently.Moreover, there are those who aren't listed in shoes. I asked around for some names of infamous height liars, and many thought Kevin Durant shaded short at 6-9. It turns out KD is just the victim of being a truth teller in a liar's world. Per his draft combine, Durant really is a barefoot six-feet-nine-inches. But how are fans supposed to believe KD when he dwarfs a 6-9 guy who is 6-6 in real life?
