Is he lying or just laughing at himself? Honestly cant tell. I've heard of weird rare growth spurts later in life so I don't think it's out of the realm of possibilities... But yeah its probably a joke. Secretly hoping he's like 6'3 now lol

He looked shorter than all the fans at the Patriots practice today.

Thank God. No chance I'll give a max to a player that isnt AT LEAST 5'10

Good one IT. Next summer get shorter and even faster. Become so small that you can't even get injured. Kind of like when ants or bugs fall from 10/20ft, but just keep walking.

Well, Thomas has  been 5'10 through most of his playing career, so it seems like your wish has been granted.

No, he's been listed at 5'10" but is shorter, similar to how KG was listed at 6'11" but was actually 7'.

He's not taller than 5'7", 5'8" at most. Well, it was before this summer  :laugh:

Totally.  IT has an A-grade troll game.  He's really funny when he wants to be.

False. He was actually physically measured at 5'10+ multiple times.

His situation is not even remotely similar to Garnett's, who came into the league years before draft combine measurements started being made publicly available on the Internet. With those guys, you were at the mercy of whatever the team decided to put in their media guide.
