His name is Kevin Wayne Durant and he was born on September 29, 1988. Do not confuse him with actor Kevin Durand, this is a very different “Kevin” for another day. Let’s get in touch with our inner athletic being today while watching the famous basketball player. Before we delve into details about Kevin Durant’s Height and his other characteristics, here is some information about him.
Well, let’s just say that his basketball career began a while before he joined the NBA. He played two years of high school basketball at the National Christian Academy and one year at Oak Hill Academy before being transferred to Montrose Christian School in his final year. Even then it was obvious that he was destined for great things, he was considered the second-best high school contender of 2006.
It wasn’t long in his college career before he was officially declared for the 2007 NBA draft, and since then he’s been a hit, back to back.

Kevin Durant’s Height
That’s easy, the basketball player is insanely tall, so tall that in his last year of high school, he was already taller than me by 6 feet. That obviously means that he’s gotten taller over the years. Despite the blatant fact that Durant’s height is one of his defining characteristics, there has been tons of speculation that he, like a handful of other NBA players, is not too honest about his height.
This is the first time, the athlete is apparently taller than he says. This is new, usually, we have people going in the opposite direction. No, he’s not ashamed of it, the thing is Kevin Durant’s Height needs to be played down so he can play his position. He is said to be 6 feet 9 inches tall, but he is actually 6 feet 11 inches tall.
Chris Herring of the Wall Street Journal said on this subject: “But really, I’ve always thought it was cool to say that I’m a 6-9 small forward, really, that’s the prototypical size for a small forward. Anything bigger than that and they’ll start to say, “Ah, he’s a power forward. The rules of the game have changed since he joined, but I guess old lies die hard.
He also said, ‘When I talk to women I’m six feet tall, in basketball circles I’m six-nine. Celebrities of the same height as Kevin Durant, the real Kevin Durant, are Tim Duncan, Kevin Darnett, and Dwight Howard, it’s no shock that they are all basketball players.
Kevin Durant’s Weight
With all this size, you would think that there is quite a lot of weight, but that is not bad, because taller people are actually heavier than their smaller colleagues. Be that as it may, there is a whole story here, and it only proves how dissatisfied we are as human beings. When Durant was first listed in the NBA, he was pretty “slim”, OK, let’s just say he was thin.
The media made a fuss, the fans made a fuss, the words, “He’s got to lock himself up. “If he put on a few pounds, he’d be unstoppable!” were used a lot. When he finally gained a few pounds, he suffered an injury that kept him off the pitch for an entire season. So that was an unfortunate turn of events, and now the majority of people complain that he ‘gained weight’.
He currently weighs 109 kg and is neither overweight nor underweight. It is common knowledge that as an athlete it would be crazy not to have a structured diet and training program. Durant has one and most of his training programs are designed to develop both flexibility and strength.

Not only does he train, but he also eats right, before his games he gets fish and vegetables to build up his endurance, and afterward he treats himself to something filling like steak or chicken with rice. Fruit, water, and complex carbohydrates (e.g. oats) are also an integral part of his diet, and he eats a lot of yogurts to supply himself with these good bacteria.
