The latest drama on the U.S. men’s Olympic basketball team has to do with an age-old controversial question: How tall are men, really?
Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant recently joined the “Up & Adams” show with Kay Adams to set the record straight on his height, once and for all.
Durant, who is listed as 6’11’’, told Adams he’s 6’9’’ and went on to hilariously roast his teammates for being shorter than they say they are, “I guess those guys must be shorter than what their numbers say,” Durant said on Thursday. “I'm 6’9’’ so it looks like Bam Adebayo’s probably 6’8’’ instead of 6’10’’, and AD is probably 6’9’’. So they’re probably adding a little more on their height while I’m keeping mine the same.”July 11, 2024
In the Team USA group photo, Durant’s eyes appear to line up with that of the 7-foot Joel Embiid, bringing into question whether Durant is a true 7-footer or whether the Philadelphia 76ers star is blatantly lying.that sidelined him for Wednesday’s 86-72 exhibition win over Canada, and Durant’s status remains “day-to-day” for Team USA’s next Olympic tune-up against Australia on July 15.Kristen Wong is a staff writer on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
