The Tallest NBA Players As Determined By Fan Votes

The only way to accurately measure which player is tallest is by asking a collection of random fans their opinions on the matter. This season, for the first time, the NBA allowed fans to vote online on which player they believe to be the most heighted. Here are the results of the inaugural election:

4) Luke Doncic – 7’7” – While it’s hard to imagine someone with an average haircut as a legit 7-footer, this is exactly what fans are saying is the case with second-year Mavericks stud Luka Doncic. Doncic, who is currently experiencing a Golden Height year (when number matches height), is said to be one of the fastest-growing players in the league, with many believing he may one day be the TOAT.

3) LeBron James – 8’9” – The Chosen One, who entered the league at a modest 6’9”, has seen his height swing wildly in the eyes of fans over the course of his career. In 2010, the King saw his stature fall to a paltry 3’5” when his decision to join the Miami Heat made him an international pariah. Luckily, with the help of multiple NBA titles, a move to Hollywood, and an affinity for tacos, LeBron’s Second Act Growth Spurt (SAGS) has once again made him one of the tallest players in the league.

2) Giannis Antetokounmpo – 9’0” – An infectious smile, a signature shoe, and the ability to constantly dominate notoriously 4’1” smack-talker Joel Embiid have all helped turn The Greek Freak into one of the game’s tallest players. So tall, in fact, that Giannis is only a few weeks away from rubbing elbows with the hoop itself – a growth spurt that would make him one of the most influential players in all of basketball.

1) Michael Jordan – 23′ 23” – As with most basketball lists, this one starts and ends with MJ – a man so tall he doesn’t even need stairs to play Plinko. According to most fans, his Airness is the absolute max for human height, and anyone who thinks otherwise better watch themselves, otherwise they’ll be negative-6’0” tall in no time.

Honorable Mention: Kyrie Irving – 0’0” – One of the purest flat-courters in the game, fans know Kyrie won’t accept whatever height they bestow upon him, so out of respect, they have him listed as completely flush with the ground, leaving fans to decide whether Irving has no height or all height.
