Charles Barkley's height

In this mug shot from 1991 Barkley looks about 6'7" by the height measure on the wall. Taking the slight distance between himself and the wall into account...I'd say his listed height of 6'6" was pretty accurate...unless he's wearing 3" high heels..

LOL, where did u get that pic?, He might get angry if finds out. :lol:

Check that out, the pic on the left says he was 6'8" and the one on the right 6'7".

I think when he was a rookie was reported as 6'4" but yes, his shoes might get him a little higher but not that high. Finally I saw he was reported as 6'6" in some of the all stars game. It's really difficult to find out about his real height specially after seeing so many versions, but yet he's still the smallest player to lead the NBA in Rebounds, :wink:

NBA Player listings are with shoes on, right? And the shoes are what 1 inch? So he'd be 6'5 (without the shoes)?

I remember someone on TV once said that he was actually 6'3"...
I always tought that was a bit exagerated.
I suppose we have to catch the guy, tie him and measure his height to know the truth.
Any volunteers? :)

Yeah, saw that too, kinda weird, maybe he wanted those pics round so everyone would think he's taller? :p

Then again, no, that's a damn ugly shirt :p
