Tatum’s height has been a mystery since he entered the league. Although he himself admitted that he has grown taller since entering the league, there is still no accurate value, and Tatum’s current official height is still It's 203.
However, in a recent unexpected group photo, Tatum inadvertently exposed his height advantage. Tatum, Banqueiro, Adebayor and Paul met for training. These people are among the best in the league. Banqueiro is the No. 1 pick, and Tatum is the champion member of the new division. A group photo of several people after training highlighted Tatum's height advantage. There is no problem with Paul's height. He is about 186 in shoes. Benqueiro, Tatum, and Adebayo are almost a head taller than Paul.
Combined with the physical conditions of NBA players, the height of a head is about 30 centimeters. Banqueiro's official height is 208 centimeters, and Adebayor's official height is 206 centimeters. What’s interesting is that Tatum, whose official height is 2.03cm, is as tall as these two players. He even looks a little taller than Adebayor. Combined with Tatum's strong upper body strength, it is no exaggeration to say that he is a power forward. There are also many players in the NBA who have grown a few centimeters taller after entering the league, and some players even deliberately cover up their height.
During the US men's basketball Olympic training that year, Durant, who was officially 206, was half a head taller than Cousins, who was officially 211, and looked almost the same as DeAndre Jordan, who was also 211. James, who also has an official height of 203cm, is much taller than small forwards such as George and Anthony. Sometimes he can even play as a center for a period of time. Combined with the comparison of the heights of Tatum and James, it is found that both men are basically lying about their height. James's height in shoes may be 208, while Tatum's height in shoes is estimated to be 209.
Unfortunately, Brownie did not inherit James' height, and could barely reach around 190cm in shoes. Tatum's dislocation advantage may come from his height, and not many small forwards can match him.
