So if a player is measured with platform shoes, that is his official height?
C'mon, this nonsense started in the 80's, and has been a complete joke since then.

So what? If a player is 6-7 bare foot, that is his REAL height. And evidently there must be a difference in sneaker thickness, as well, since we have read that Kevin Love was 6-10, when in actuality, he was 6-7 3/4. Ben Wallace was listed at 6-9...barely 6-7. Hakeem was listed at 7-0...barely 6-10.
Conversely, Bill Russell was listed at 6-9...and he was exactly the same height as the "6-11" Dwight Howard.
The only LOGICAL standard should be in BARE FEET.
Years ago, Mark Eaton was measured at 7-3 while at UCLA. When he went H2H with Ralph Sampson a couple of years later, he towered over the "7-4" Sampson.

But when you have the shoes on it makes you play at that height. If you're 6'9 but 6'11 with shoes on then you're playing at 6'11. May as well just use that height as the reference.

May as well not bother. BTW, we can just watch the games and determine who the taller players really are.

Please...just telling it like it is.
Obviously you live in a fantasy world if you accept the "listed" heights of NBA players.

I agree with the last part. I watched Okafor and the kid looks like a legit big man.

Certainly. I posted it earlier...he is the same height as Cousins, Drummond, Howard, and Jordan... 6-9 1/2.
