What does a height difference of 1 inch look like?
At 1 inch, the difference is close to invisible. Standing side by side, most people would call Conor McGregor and Mike Tyson the same height, and shoes or posture can easily hide the gap.
In everyday terms, 2.5 cm is about the length of a US quarter coin (2.4 cm).
Shoes change what you see. Shoes that add about 2.5 cm are enough to cancel this gap, so if only the shorter person wears them, the two can look the same height.

This is the height in an official roster or profile. Leagues and clubs measure their players, but listings are rarely updated after the first season and some were historically taken in shoes, so the figure can be a centimeter or two off.
This height comes from press coverage rather than an official measurement, so treat it as a well-reported figure rather than a certified one.
