OAKLAND — There are lies, damned lies and Kevin Durant’s official height.
All NBA sources list the Warriors power forward at 6-foot-9. And, if you believe that, we’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn you can measure.
Those who play against Durant regularly refer to him as a 7-footer, and none of the Houston Rockets who struggled to guard him in the Western Conference Finals, where he averaged 30.4 points over seven games, would beg to differ.
There are photos of the “small” forward from his Oklahoma City Thunder days that show Durant’s head rising above teammates Nick Collison and Serge Ibaka, who were both listed at 6-10.
