Barkley is only about an inch taller than Conan if even that today. Again look at the top of his head the actual Peak it comes to a point not flat not round very much comes across as six-foot-six at that point in time.
What is very frustrating is that so many posters want to reference shoulder height or eye level the only thing that matters is what someone measures to the top of their head that's it. This guy is over 6'5 on a good day and just under at the end of the day but it shows how listings are just ridiculous in sports. Edges out legit cm people but i believe Jordan still has him by a cm.
Magic supposedly was another who measured. Now Michael Jordan. I do think that if Barkley measured that height that it was his peak afternoon height. That roster in current sources seems to be all listed with their NBA heights as have been the subsequent Men's basketball team's sent to the Olympics.
I think the Olympics has almost always just gone with reported heights. Usain Bolt is probably not exactly 6'5" but that's what he gets listed at by the Olympics. Taking a Inch or a Inch and a half away from the shoes, I'd say he's 6'6 or atleast 6'5. Barkley was not as tall as Kobe even peak height. Kobe at cm Barkley Likely over that mark by a hair still.
In all his nba draft photos he has towered players who measured 6'1" to 6'2" barefoot and usually those are early morning. Hes looked taller than most guys who measured 6'3". I'm confident that Silver measures at or very near 6'4" barefoot early in day and never falls below a strong 6'3". The fact Barkley was looking downwards towards a camera tells everybody the mugshot adds height.
Only if it was at the top of his head would it be accurate. Losing height now is still a myth on Barkley, he just doesn't look any shorter than those guys listed 6''5.
The half to me would also mean morning measurement. I guessed prob Then again this was years ago. I dont know it seems like your against that possibility. I doubt either one of them is measured at an extreme low.
As for the teammates, if it were one then maybe. They spent a considerable amount of time around him so they had an idea of how tall he was. I could be wrong though. I dont know I just dont think you guys should discount the possibility he was. As for footwear disadvantage, I often see Barkley wearing thicker footwear than others in pics. Maybe he lost an inch with all of his weight and was a little less but he honestly looked short for a power forward on the court.
There's no way that Kobe's only 6'4. Well Kobe seems to even think he's 6ft 4. And also to add, I doubt an Olympic measurement is at an extreme low. Notice I said normal low because the two are different. However, my extreme low is more like The best case was one guy who was a scout and met him in his prime and another guy who met him with the Rockets and golfed with him as well as a former boss that I worked for.
Probably 3. Barkley had a footwear advantage over the Rock in those pics. I have Barkley an inch taller than both of those guys.
If The Rock is 6'2. For me i wouldn't go under 6'4. Maybe a few years later it could happen but not now. Maybe Barkley wear cowboy boots?
However, I think Barkley looks more like 3. He measured that. For me i can go with 6'5 and i think Seagal is only 6'3. Conan was never measured officially so if anything he could be claiming his shoes. And Seagal has lost height when he measured with barkley. Rob even guessed him less and he is only about an inch shorter or 3CM less than Barkley.
Seems like you pick and choose what you want to believe. Seagal has lost height when he measured with barkley. He would prob edge MWP out by a hair. People are seriously saying that he was taller than a peak Hogan? In fact that may be the same measurement with a number 7 instead of 5 that was mistaken. To my knowledge, Jordan had that measurement at some point likely at UNC or early morning some other time.
