Let's start converting the 210. cm to inches. We know that:

2.54 cm = 1 in

L = 210. cm * 1 in/2.54 cm = 82.7 in

The length in inches is 82.7 in

Let's see if it is taller than Lebron:

12 in = 1 ft

L = 82.7 * 1 ft/12 in = 6.89 ft

It's a similar length. We will have to convert back the decimals to inches.

0.89 ft * 12 in/(1 ft) = 10.7 in

So the length of the cross country skis is 6' 11 " which are taller than LeBron James .
