Warriors

Since coming into the NBA in 2007, Kevin Durant has listed his height at 6-foot-9. And ever since then, Durant has raised eyebrows while constantly standing next to 7-footers on the court and looking just as tall. 

Finally on Tuesday, the Warriors forward revealed the truth -- he's been lying this whole time. 

Speaking to Bob Fitzgerald on KNBR, Durant put fact over fiction when answering the age-old question of how tall he really is. "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," Durant finally revealed.

So, why has Durant been listed at 6-foot-9 for so long? 

"I just like messin' with people. They just ask me so much... yeah, I just like messin' with people."
