The NBA is filled with freak athletes and players of varying sizes. The most skilled ones are considered “Unicorns” due to their unreal ability despite their supernatural size. Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant is one such player. We are all familiar that KD has an extraordinary skillset for a player his size. He is officially listed at 6’10 and weighs 240 lbs.
One must wonder how much truth there is to these claims surrounding his height and weight. After all, there are pictures on the internet that prove KD appears to be just as big as a 7-foot center like Demarcus Cousins. Moreover, he has admitted to pretending to be shorter at 6’9 because he “liked the way that sounded”.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed to be only 2lbs heavier than Kevin Durant
Most NBA fans remember how thin or skinny Giannis Antetokounmpo looked when he first entered the NBA in 2013. However, he has gone through an epic physical transformation and put on serious muscle mass and size over the past few years. That clearly made a large difference as the Greek Freak soon went on to establish himself as a dominant force in the league. He won his first NBA title with the Milwaukee Bucks in 2021.

Not many can claim that Durant and Antetokounmpo have similar builds in current times. After Giannis’s transformation, one would assume he has 20 or 30 lbs over KD. Be that as it may, Antetokounmpo is listed at 242 lbs in comparison to KD’s 240.
