Olajuwon was always listed at 7'0", but truly only measured up to 6'10". (Look at their NBA pre-draft combine height measurements without shoes on.)
Many players are commonly listed an inch or two taller than their true height for marketing reasons.
An example would be Magic Johnson was listed at 6'9", but was only 6'7 1/2" when truly measured.
Olajuwon, although only 6'10" had a long reach and explosive leap, making him the best shot blocker of all time despite not being a true seven footer.
