Okay, so, I’ve been seeing this name, Kristaps Porzingis, popping up a lot lately. I mean, I see him on the court, and he looks super tall, but I got really curious about just how tall he actually is. So I started digging into this, and let me tell you, it was a bit of a rabbit hole, but a fun one!
First, I just did a simple search for “how tall is Kristaps Porzingis?” You know, just to get a basic idea. Most of the results that popped up were pretty consistent. They all said he’s 7 feet 2 inches tall. Yep, 7’2″! That’s a pretty good starting point.
But then I started seeing some different numbers. Some sources mentioned he’s 7-2 (218 cm), which is basically the same thing, just with the centimeters added in. So, no big surprises there. I also found out he weighs around 240 lbs (108 kg). I mean, the guy is huge, so that weight makes sense.
I got a bit sidetracked and found out that Porzingis used to play for a Spanish basketball club called Sevilla before he made it to the NBA. And get this, he was even named an NBA All-Star in 2018! That’s pretty cool. I even found a quick note about him having some kind of surgery.
Then I stumbled upon this one source that compared him to Shaquille O’Neal. Now, Shaq is a giant, but apparently, Porzingis is even taller! The article said Porzingis is a whopping 7-foot 3-inch frame, while Shaq is 7-foot 1-inch. So that’s a slight difference in the search results, but overall, I think it’s safe to say Porzingis is somewhere between 7’2″ and 7’3″.
So yeah, that’s what I found out about Kristaps Porzingis’ height. It was a fun little investigation, and now I can finally put that question to rest. He’s one tall dude!
