HOUSTON, TEXAS: Jimmy Butler is an American professional basketball player who stands at 6 feet and 7 inches (2.01 m/201cm) tall, and weighs around 104 kg (230 lbs), according to Basketball Reference.

He plays as a small forward for the Miami Heat in the NBA. Butler is a six-time NBA All-Star, a five-time NBA All-Defensive team member, and an Olympic gold medalist.

Is Jimmy Butler taller than Shaquille O'Neal?

As per reports, Shaquille O'Neal's height is 6 feet and 11 inches (2.10 m/ 210 cm), making him 4 inches taller than Jimmy Butler's height. Shaquille O'Neal, also known as Shaq, is an American former professional basketball player who currently works as a sports analyst on the television program 'Inside the NBA.'

He is considered one of the greatest basketball players of all time, catering to his career of over 19 years in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Shaq has also been a four-time NBA champion.

However, there is a misconception that Shaquille O’Neal is more than 7 feet tall, which was debunked in his interview with Lockerroom. Shaq said, “First of all, I’m not 7’1″. I’m 6’11”. I just played like I was 7’1″. And 7 foot 1 just sounded, you know, just so, you know."

Jimmy Butler is roughly the league's average height in comparison. It's crucial to remember that the NBA updated its accuracy standards for height back in 2019.

Up until 2019, the Heat forward was measured at 6 feet and 8 inches, but following the new rule, things changed. He is now officially listed as 6 feet and 7 inches.

Previously, their heights were measured in shoes; however, these heights are now recorded without shoes.

Jimmy Butler is still significantly taller than someone of normal height despite losing one inch in height. This is evident when the two-time finalist stands next to the game's best individuals
