Giannis Antetokounmpo Height

"If you are going to do something, you have to do it for yourself, and that's what I try to do. I try to be authentic and try to be original, so that's what I try to be. A lot of people try to build big brands but have received bad advice, and they don't try to be authentic and real with themselves."

Greek Freak Giannis Antetokounmpo is known for his size, speed, and ball-handling skills in the court of basketball.

Giannis is known for one other thing as well -- which is his size. There are big people in the world and then there is Giannis -- a man who towers over lesser people with no regard whatsoever to their dignity.

Giannis has claimed to be 6-feet-11 inches to 7-feet tall one time or other.

Though in 2015, at the tender age of 20, Giannis mentioned his height as:

"I'm sorry guys, I am still 6'11" 

Now it is possible for some people to grow a bit more even after 20 but we don't think that is the case here.

From what we have seen of this tall man -- like standing shoulder to shoulder with an almost 6'8" LeBron James, and an even bigger Brook Lopez (listed as 7" tall), we think Giannis could be 6'11" on a good day but certainly not over it.

The real height of Giannis Antekounmpo is

6'10½" or 209.5 cm
