Real NBA Height

[VCMVP1551]

A poster here met Dr. J. and said he looked 6'5".

Dr. J is 58 years old, it's not impossible to think that he shrunk half an inch.

The 6'5 1/2" claim is from Dr. J himself.

When I was a freshman in high school I was maybe 5'9", 5'10". And as a sophomore, 5'11", approaching 6'. As I junior I was 6'1", and when I graduated high school I was 6'3". When I got out of college, I was 6'5-1/2", pushing 6'6".

I don't see anything particulary hard to believe about that especially since he was listed at 6-7 in the 80's. Also if a 6-5 guy is going to lie about his height, why lie at a figure like 6-5 1/2? Besides why would a 6-5 guy lie about his height in the first place now that he's not playing anymore. It's not a case of a guy not knowing his height either because Dr. J remembers his height at certain ages.

Dr. J has about a half inch on Michael Jordan who was measured at exactly 6'4 7/8"(pretty much 6'5")

Magic is 6`7 1/2 and by the way usually does not wear Sneakers, Barkley does.

So? Barkley's sneakers have maybe a half inch advantage over Magic's dress shoes, if that. It's not like Magic is walking around barefoot! Barkley and Magic look very close in height in that picture, there's NO WAY there's a 2 1/2" difference.

Maybe there's a half inch difference, add another half inch or so for Barkley's possible footwear advantage and that puts Barkley at 6'6".

Besides Barkley having a footwear advantage is only speculation anyway.

If you wan`t to compare Dr J`s height with Barkley`s then here you go watch this game and see for yourself:

NO IF YOU WANT TO COMPARE THEIR HEIGHTS LOOK AT THE SIDE BY SIDE PICTURES I POSTED YOU BRAINDEAD MORON!

Well, he really looks little bit taller...

You really think that image proves anything?

I posted pictures of Barkley barefoot next to Kenny Smith and pictures of Barkley's mugshot where he stood right near a height chart. It doesn't get any better for comparing than that.

6'5 3/4" without shoes, 6'7" with shoes

[Height Freak]

well MJ is the same height as Vince Carter as seen in previous posts in this forum, which makes him 6-5 and and a little taller (I

6`8 Grant Hill...next to Charles

6`8 Grant Hill...next to Charles

They arent next to each other, Grant's right arm is clearly in front of Charle's left arm therefore Grant is in the foreground and will appear even taller

6`8 Grant Hill...next to Charles

You really need tol learn perspective. I can make sh!t up, too:



Here is Barkley next to 6'7" Norwegian model Agnetha Strornboorgen. Charles is clearly about 14" taller, making him 7'11", 8' tall!
Do you now realise how rediculous you come across when you argue against facts, such as an official police mugshot with a height chart?

[Sir Charles]

Barkley says he is around 6`5 with shoes on. He has been measured at 6`4 3/4 before and in the 92 Olympics at 6`4 5/8 ft (Magic is also closer to 6`7 1/2 than 6`9...Go Look at him stand next to Bird and see for yourself).

He is not 1.98 which is 6`6...He is 1.95 mt

Go look at Barkley next to Rodman who is around 6`6 3/4 and see for yourself.

GTFO. VCMVP already owned your ass.

Why in the hell don't people use the metric system? It's 10 times more accurate than the stupid English system. Also I've seen Yao in person once and i can honestly say that I very much doubt that he's only 7-5. I would really think that's a low ball figure.

[Lakas Fan Yo]

So he is 5 inches shorter than Shaq.

And maybe not

Greece's "Baby Shaq", Sofaklis Schortsanitis, is begging to impress a few folks in workouts. The good news is that "Baby Shaq" is measuring in at 6-foot-10 with shoes (6-8
