The NBA Artificially Inflating Player's Heights Is Getting Ridiculous

[GreenChampion]

Jan Vesely 7-0 in NBA (6-11 in Europe)

Jonas Valanciunas 7-0 in NBA (6-10 in Europe)

Donatas Motiejunas 7-1 in NBA (7-0 in Europe)

Danilo Galinari 6-10 in NBA (6-8 in Europe)

Andrea Bargnani 7-0 in NBA (6-10 in Europe)

Jonas Jerebko 6-10 in NBA (6-8 in Europe)

The list goes on and on.............

The NBA is constantly adding 1-2 inches to the heights of players from Europe. They all magically grow 1-2 inches the second they get off a plane from Europe onto US soil.


It is also absolutely hilarious that the NBA claims that NBA players are "taller" than Euroleague players, when the Euroleague has taller players on average - even with using barefoot heights, unlike the NBA.

I am sorry, but the NBA has become such a joke under David Stern.

Still better than the trashy Euroleague.

Why would anyone care about this?

This. Last resort of Euro fans to find something about their league that's better than the NBA. Their measurements!

The NBA inflated their players height for marketing purposes. Being listed at 6'0" is better than being listed at 5'10"-5'11". Back in 1996 No NBA teams wanted Ben Wallace when he listed his height at 6'7". (His real height).
