“Kevin Durant really looks taller than Jarrett Allen and his huge afro”: NBA Twitter surprised as photos of the Nets superstar looking taller than the potential All-Star goes viral

A photo of Kevin Durant and Jarrett Allen standing next to each other goes viral. The Durantula seems taller than the Cavaliers big man.

When Kevin Durant entered the league as a young 19-year-old kid out of Texas University, he was listed as a 6-foot-9 small forward. Ever since there have been several ongoing debates over KD’s height, and for the longest time, Durant didn’t speak about the whole topic.

A few years back, a photo of KD standing alongside DeMarcus Cousins at the USA camp had gone viral. Kevin, listed at 6-foot-9, looked as tall, if not taller than Boogie, who stands at 6-foot-11.

However, back in 2016, during his GSW days, Durant came clean about his height. Revealing his true height, Durant told Bob Fitzgerald of KNBR:

“Since I love you guys so much, I was recorded at 6’10” and three-quarters with no shoes, so with my shoes on I’m 7-feet.”

“I just like messin’ with people. They just ask me so much… yeah, I just like messin’ with people.”

And more recently, a photo went viral on social media that could very well expose Kevin’s true height.

On Monday night, the Cleveland Cavaliers hosted the Brooklyn Nets at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. In an action-packed thriller, it was the Nets grabbing their third straight win, with a 117-112 game win.

However, a photo of KD standing next to Jarrett Allen went viral. In the photo, KD, who claimed to be 6-foot-10, seemed taller than 6-foot-11 Allen. Here have a look at the photo.

NBA Twitter went crazy with their reactions as soon as the photo went viral on social media.
