How tall is the NBA's Kevin Garnett?
Answer
6' 11"
Kevin Garnett is listed at 6 feet 11 inches tall.
That height made Garnett unusually versatile during his NBA career. Although he primarily played power forward and center, he had the mobility and ball-handling ability to defend and operate away from the basket. His size, seven-foot-plus wingspan, and agility helped make him one of basketball’s most distinctive big men.
Garnett was selected fifth overall by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 1995 NBA draft and became the first NBA player drafted directly from high school since 1975. He won the 2004 NBA Most Valuable Player Award and later won an NBA championship with the Boston Celtics in 2008. Height listings can vary slightly because players may be measured in shoes or rounded to the nearest inch, but 6 feet 11 inches is Garnett’s standard official listing. He is sometimes casually called seven feet tall, but that is a rounded description rather than his listed height.
