NBA players lie about their height. Why is Durant the only one who underreported his height?

There have been all kinds of mistakes and false data about the height of NBA league.

First of all, most people want to be tall, but there are often people who are particularly different and want to be lower. It's Durant, who has been growing taller since she joined the league, but his official height has always been written as 2.05 meters in NBA official, Thunder official and Wikipedia.

After a game against the Clippers, Durant said that he inadvertently revealed the secret of his height when defending Paul's key block: "He is only 1.82 meters, while I am 2. 1 1 meter."

According to the newspaper, although the average height of NBA players is higher than the 2.7 billion people on earth, it is interesting that many people exaggerate their height, while Durant downplays it. Later I learned that Durant was not the first person in the NBA to lie about his height. In fact, there is a little lie behind Durant's white lie. There is also a basketball reason behind the truth, that is, there are a lot of "unsolved mysteries" like the whole NBA. Facts have proved that when comparing data every year, some people are tall and some people are "short".

Durant once said: "I will be happy to tell you that my height is 2.05 meters, and it feels cool." Because this is the most standard small forward height. But as long as it exceeds this height, many people will say,' Ah, he is a power forward'. "Barea himself said that he never wanted to make himself" taller ". For example, some players in the draft will ask medical staff to write themselves higher in order to make themselves look better in the data.

To sum up, Durant asked himself to write 2.05 meters. In addition, there is no standardized way to record the height of players, which leads to the nonstandard height of players.
