Kevin Knox is a young American basketball player who plays in the National Basketball Association (NBA) for the New York Knicks.

Kevin Knox Bio  

On August 11, 1999, the New York Knicks player was born as Kevin Knox II in Phoenix, Arizona. Without so much information about how he grew up, it is known that he completed his high school education in Florida at Tampa Catholic High School and from there moved to the University of Kentucky.

With a father who played soccer and even won the national title in the state of Florida in his graduation season of 1993, Kevin Knox had soccer in his blood, and it was the first sport he played during his childhood.

Actually, he wanted to make a career in soccer, but with a height of 6 to 7 meters after his second year of life, he was not exactly what soccer needed, so he decided to focus on basketball. Something in which he would also achieve top performances. This does not mean that football is no longer in his system, as he still plays with his father.

Height and Weight

As the son of a former NFL player, who was 5’8″ tall and now plays in the NBA, there is no point in pointing out that he has it in terms of height and physique. In figures, Kevin Knox is 6 feet (6 feet 9 inches) tall and weighs 96 kg (212 lb).

Since he is nearly two meters tall, it is obvious that, in addition to his skills, his physique has contributed greatly to the good basketball player that he is. However, there is no information about the general body measurements of the little striker.
