[Marvin Bagley's Dad] They announced Marvin at 6’-8”. 😂😂😂 I guess Deandre Ayton is only 6’-9” or 6’-10” 😂😂

Bagley's dad posted this instagram video after reports yesterday that Bagley was 6'8

Also, here is another source on the matter

Some of you may have noticed Bagley was introduced as a 6-8 forward this morning and Hield was introduced as a 6-3 guard. That was incorrect. I’m told the roster below includes NBA-certified heights for all players. Bagley is still 6-11. Buddy is still 6-4.

how many drunk, defenseless fat people did he actually do anything to? he walks in to start shit (something no disciplined fighter would do) then backs away while flailing wildly.

that karate shit is great if the other person is only doing karate too. the second that other person shoots in and puts you on your ass, your accuracy on a roundhouse movie kick just doesn't mean a thing. that's why he's a basketball player and not a kickboxer (and how many kickboxers do great in MMA? i can think of 2 that did ok)

Unless of course they knock you out on your shot. I could name a BUNCH of mma fighters who were amazing kickboxers prior. Champions. Interim champion who’s fighting tonight against Bobby Knuckles. Wrestling is great and all, but you better hope the person doesn’t know how to sprawl or just isn’t more athletic than you and avoids your attempt entirely. Best course of action is to not fight at all. Regardless of training or techniques.

he knows karate. that's like knowing how to shoot a bazooka when someone is coming at you with a .357 from 20' away. there's a reason the dominant MMA styles are wrestline/boxing/muay thai/bjj and everything else is seen as "maybe one thing can be used in a real fight" or "that shit is lame"

lol thats such a load of shit. Lyoto Machida is one of the best MMA fighters of all time. His main style is Shotokan. GSP is a 3rd Dan in Kyokushin, and is arguably the best MMA fighter ever. The stance where you turn your body perpendicular to the other fighter is known as the "karate Stance" in MMA circles.

vizzlypoofLakers•

Why would these guys act like it’s a bad thing? If anything it looks incredible for them if they show up guys on the block who they’re shorter than.

Anyways, standing height doesn’t matter as much as wingspan at this level. I’d rather have the 6’8 forward with a 7’1 wingspan than the 6’10 guy with a 6’11 wingspan

JoelEmbeast[PHI] Landry Shamet•

Bagley has a mediocre wingspan too

AveryBealNets•

I mean if he's 6'8 with a 7ft wingspan that's not mediocre.

MarginalSalmonSerbia•

He's not 6'8, the heights that were called out were wrong

17
vizzlypoofLakers•

7’0.5 wingspan. That’s pretty great. Idk what more you want lol

97
Coys1176ers•

Not for someone who is 6’11”

2
corvenzoBulls•

It's mediocre for big men, especially undersized one. For example, Wendell Carter Jr was measured at 6'9.75" without shoes but has a 7'5" wingspan

-37
vizzlypoofLakers•

No dude, 7’5 is absolutely fucking bonkers, near AD and Gobert level length. Just cause those guys exist on that alien extendo man spectrum doesn’t mean the guys with a 7’1 wingspan are mediocre.

Draymond has been a monster with a 7’1 wingspan.

93
[deleted]•

Carter is a center

4
veebs7Raptors•

Not really. That’s still +4.5”. A guy like Wendell just has an insane wingspan

BlackPulloverHoodieKings•

7ft is still 7ft. If his wingspan is mediocre so is 90% of the NBA.

He got resigned by his own team and won DPOY while being the core to their championship along with being an all-star. I'm talking about guys who are end of the bench or at best rotation guys, especially the aging ones where you have to sell yourself rather than being recruited.

Why would these guys act like it’s a bad thing?

Lol I don’t know how tall you are but if someone misinterprets or thinks I’m shorter than my actual height I won’t be happy either. Guys like being tall. There’s a reason why short guys have problems with being insecure because it sucks. And this actual height problem is magnified x 100 for these players because everyone knows now.. don’t act like you’re surprised it’s a bad thing.

11†
owiseone23Trail Blazers•

On the social side, I think that only applies to a certain point. Disregarding the nba part of it, I think in general people up to like 6'5" like to be perceived as taller, but I think once you get a bit taller than that you see a lot of Uber tall people slouch because people see them as spectacles or something.

Standing reach matters too.

Yeah and the taller guy with the same wingspan is gonna have a way higher standing reach unless there's a huge neck/head size difference.

Bagley is wearing the male equivalent of heels in this and Ayton is still taller

Bags is also closer to the camera. Not that any of this really matters. Bagley could be 6'7" and I'd still think he's gonna be a damn good player

LITERALLY_SODEMSuns•

look at aytons shoes and compare it to bagley's tho.

76
RazatigerRaptors•

Even still hes only an inch maybe 2 taller. How can Ayton be 7'1 and Bagley 6'8. Makes no sence. I dont see 5 or even 4 inches of seperation between them.

20
corvenzoBulls•

The real answer is that Ayton isn't 7'1". Bagley has a lot of height in hair and is wearing shoes with decently high heels while Ayton is wearing pretty flat shoes. If I had to guess, Ayton is around 6'11" while Bagley is 6'8.5"

26
MrDannyOceanNBA•

Wasn't Bagley measured at 6'9 without shoes at like 16 years old though?

13
corvenzoBulls•

Idk but I would probably trust the most recent NBA measurement over whatever camp measured him 5 years ago

23
ThatsThatCrackMusicMavericks•

If I had to guess, Ayton is around 6'11" while Bagley is 6'8.5"

Did you not even read the post? Bagley was measured officially by NBA to be 6'11 without shoes

12
-TrustTheProcess-Clippers•

A lot of people must have never watched Kings games because of bagley is 6’8 the rest of then someone like lebron is 6’5. Even without his hair he’s pretty huge

Ayton was measured at 6'11.75 barefoot in an Adidas camp after his junior year. He is 7'1 with shoes on

whats his problem with ayton? he doesnt seem to like him since there was a debate about which one of them was going #1 in the draft

He doesn’t have one. Bagley and Ayton are friends and played on the same HS team in Arizona for one year.

Obv as a father he prob wanted his son going #1 but like doubt there’s beef

I don't really believe that marvin bagley is over an inch shorter than Ben Simmons and 2 inches shorter than KD. It seems like way too big of a difference.

Are heights all measured the same way?

timnuoaKings•

They got several heights wrong at the game yesterday. The updated roster in OPs second link has Bagley's NBA certified height listed as 6'11".

For those who haven't opened the second link: several heights were announced incorrectly at yesterday's game, Bagley's NBA certified height is 6'11".

What I would give to be "only" 6'8". I guess he wants to be at least six foot nine to get with Leoshi.

Anything over 6"4 is way too fucking tall tbh. It would be stupidly inconvenient and you'd always stick out and draw looks.

6"8 is freakishly tall.

No offense to the tall bros out there. It just seems objectively like a pain in the ass to be NBA forward/center levels tall.

The only benefit would be possibly being able to play in the NBA.
