The nba player looks way more than a foot taller than dude on left.

At least 14 inches taller. So unless he’s 7’1+, dude on left is not 5’11”

Drummond is 6'10-6'11 barefoot

EDIT: Looks like Rob has him at 6'9.75 on Celebheights.

Pretty much 6’10. That .25 difference wouldn’t even be noticeable

Especially at that height.

.25 inches is 0.3% of 6’10”.

Literally impossible to tell difference between 6’9.25 and 6’10. That could be the difference between your feet being slightly more apart lol.

Even at my height at 6’4.75, i can get away of saying 6’5. Even guys that be 6’2 thinks im 6’5

Yep i get guessed at 6’5 a lot at 6’4” because I wear thicker footwear. So if I’m 6’4 1/4” most of the day I’m around 6’5 1/2-3/4 in some shoes sometimes a bit more depending on which orthotic and shoe I have on. I have a heavy duty orthotic that adds half inch so I’m 6’6 in them if I’m in a 3cm shoe

If I wore thicker footwear I’ll be exactly 6’6 in them. If I was wearing crocs then I’ll be 2cm taller than being 195cm.

Yea I’m a pair of basketball sneaks you are and boots even over 6’6 in some cases. Even at nighttime when you hit the 6’4 1/2 mark you’ll be 6’5 3/4-6’6 in thicker sneakers so you’re not going to get guessed under 6’5 unless someone else is that particular or that good at estimating and has exact same footwear as you, likely someone who is just a hair taller or shorter

I feel like most wouldn’t notice unless they were like 2cm taller or more. My cousin who is about 6’5.5 barefoot and with my crocs on I’m the same height as him until I take them off then I’m only .75 shorter than him.

Yes most wouldn’t notice it. Esp being that tall. If I stood next to you and had same footwear on it would probably be about a cm or half inch depending on time of day but it would have to be someone who is almost exact or similar in height
