Despite being 6-foot-11, Kevin Durant still lies to women about his height. This makes the 27-year-old human beanstalk relatable to men who find themselves closer to Peter Dinklage than, say, Shaquille O'Neal on the tape measuring spectrum. Still, the Thunder star keeps it believable by only adding an inch.
"When I'm talking to women, I'm 7-feet," he told the Wall Street Journal recently for a piece about how most NBA players aren't always truthful about their heights. "In basketball circles, I’m 6-foot-9." (Pro tip: If you don't do this, too, you really should. Nobody outside of the most insecure person will ever fact check you.)
