"I always tried so hard to fit in, and then I figured out that I didn't want to fit."
~ Anthony Davis
Basketball sensation, Anthony Davis is known for being the eight-time NBA All-Star and also for being named to four All-NBA First Teams and four NBA All-Defensive Teams.
People lose height in the course of the day. If you are tall then you would certainly lose more height than a shorter person. A super-tall man like Anthony Davis might lose more than an inch from dawn till dusk.
That's why precise measurement of the height of super tall people needs to be correctly scheduled. Measurement in the afternoon would be as close to perfect as it can be.
Perhaps that's why Anthony Davis has been measured at 6'9¼", 6'10½", and 6'11¼" (measured by Jimmy Kimmel with Davis in sneakers).
So the million-dollar question is what is Anthony Davis' afternoon height? We think it might be close to 6-feet-10 inches after all.
The real height of Anthony Davis is
6'10" or 208 cm

"We worked so hard, spent so much time in weight room and in camps to be where we are today. We wanted to come out and be as good as any team in the state, to prove we could hang with any team at any time."
