I'm not trying to say "he's 6'9, he won't be able to play the 5 well" because I know he can, but rather I just find it interesting there's such a controversy over such an easily measurable thing as height.

Reality ain't what it used to be.

You can find press and casual photos pretty easily of Amir Johnson together with Chris Bosh, who is a fairly certain 6'11-6'11.5 or Tyler Hansbrough, who is a fairly certain 6'9-6'9.5 (both in shoes, obviously).

He's very clearly taller than Hansbrough and very clearly shorter than Bosh. I'm confident that Johnson's height in shoes is between 6'10 and 6'11.

But in this picture he looks slightly taller than Stiemsma, who is a legit 6'11. Confusing.

Good find-- but I can't find any official measurement data on Steimsma. Can you?

He's listed everywhere as being 6'11.

Height doesn't really matter as much these days with all the smallball teams.

6'10, 250 pounds, 7'0-7'1 wingspan. 9'0 reach. Good vertical leap 

My guess

In the presser photo, PJ3 is a good two or three inches above Lee.  Amir looks slightly taller than Lee, and Jerebko looks to be about the same height.

I'm a Celtics fan and I could care less what his theoretical height is. Whichever height he is is what he has been throughout his entire career and it doesn't change him as a player and what he can do for us whether he was actually 6'10 or 6'9. Different story if he grew in the off-season...but he's the same height as he's been for the past 8 years.
