  • Many players in the league are well-known for lying about their real height. A few of them are really obvious, but some others are pretty sneaky and overlooked. Here are four players whose official listed heights are terribly off from their actual heights.
    I make all kinds of NBA videos ranging from players' life stories, rankings, conspiracies and mysteries, trivia, and 'What If' videos. Make sure to leave a like and subscribe if you enjoyed this video!

    Hey guys, sorry for not adding in the metric measurements as well. I made this video when I had like 100 subs, had no idea it would blow up like this. I'll make sure to add them in for future videos! (hopefully I remember)

    • @MrGunwitch
      @MrGunwitch 6 років тому +56

      I don't think that's actually true. There are plenty of photos of Barkley standing next to MJ and they are close to the same height, with Barkley looking slightly taller in most photos. More conclusive though, was this recent photo of Dwayne Johnson, Barkley and Shaq...Dwayne is 6'4" and Barkley towers over him. I reckon Barkley was closer to 6'7" in shoes when he was in the NBA, maybe even 6'8" which makes a lot more sense when you see how he used to dominate down low and the ridiculous amounts of rebounds etc. Anyway, check out this link:
      twitter.com/therock/status/335194419500290048
      You can also see in the East All-star photo where Ewing is flanked by Pippen and Barkley. Barkley is the same height as Pippen (6'7") and only looks 4"-5" shorter than Ewing (7'0").

      @vinrusso821 5 років тому

      No, players have just gotten shorter. The NBA is a smaller game today. Big men are 6'9. Every 6'11 player (Which there seems to be a popular measurement) are always around 6'9, maybe a little more. Just look at REAL 7 footers, it's rare to see them as agile and quick as a 6'10 guy, a 7'2 or 7'3 guy seem's awkward and goofy, which made Wilt such a oddity, he would be 7'3 in today's NBA, yet quick as a forward when young. Hakeem Olajuwon was only 6'9 but was listed at almost 6'11.

    They say that Kareem and Bill Walton used to lessen their official height. Kareem was listed as 7'2, but they said was closer to 7'4 or 7'5. Bill Walton was similar (7'2 or 7'3 instead of the 6'11 he was listed as). Its kinda weird to lessen your height but whatever I guess it worked for them.

    @DEMACVEV0 7 років тому +30

    Great vid but for those of you who are wondering, Russell Westbrook is indeed 6'3. The reason Liliard looked so short is because he's 6'1 and his shoes are made for him to be low to the court. Westbrooks shoes have a thicker sole. Also, Harden isn't really 6'5. He's barely 6'4. John Wall is also 6'4. Curry is 6'3. I believe that Harden and Lillard's height were given a boost so that Harden could appear more like a SG, and Lillard probably just wanted to be on par with the rest of the PG in the game.

      North Americans have always had a weird obsession and insecurity with height for some reason. Its a real fickle part of u.s. culture that more height makes a guy more of a “real man” or stud regardless of his character. Whether it’s with the nba or with american women or just trying to get hired at a job. It’s a real subconscious fault but americans tend to associate taller with being better or more worthy. Even athletes can’t escape superficial u.s. standards.

If KD threw on about 20 lbs and developed a hook shot, he'd be completely unstoppable, even though he already is. Like Dirk Nowitzki unstoppable on steroids.

Amare also measured at 6'8.5" (no shoes) before the draft, but I'm sure he grew a bit since he was drafted at 18. I think Blake is probably like Kevin Love, around 6'8"

The trainer was big, but we all agreed that he wasn't quite as big as my wife's brother, who is 2 meters. Two meters translates to about 6'6.5" So, if my son grows to the same height as my wife's brother, he can probably list himself at 6'8". Which should help with college coaches.

    Excellent video of players heights. I've always knew that Kevin Garnett was easily over 7' ft. tall. He once stood next to Tim Duncan when standing next to hm. Heck, both are extremely tall guys anyway. Garnett clearly seemed to have had as much as a 3 in. height advantage over Duncan from a photo despite Tim Duncan often being listed as 7' ft. tall. Another one I can think of was Julius Dr. J Erving. He once stood next to Clyde "The Glide" Drexler from one photo shoot. And unless Drexler has recently shrunk in height (which is possible) over the years, Dr. J was clearly taller than Drexler. Either Dr. J is more 6' 8" tall. Or Clyde is more of a solid 6' 6" tall.

    Charles Barkley. Was listed as a 6'6" PF, until moving to SF in Phoenix at the end of his Career. Ran into him at Leeds when he was visiting, guy wasn't taller than 6'4". Of course, this was later so his spine could have compacted over the years.
    Really just makes his ability to Rebound all the more impressive. Hell, at 6'6" he was an impressive PF, at 6'4" it's just ridiculous.

      He's a lot more hunched now that he's older. Even toward the end of his career you could see the flexion in his spine. In his peak NBA days he was closer to 6'7" if you ask me. Still, even at 6'7" the guy played like a seven footer.

      Charles Barkley is 6’4.75 barefoot and 6’6 in shoes , the same height as Jordan . Most people peg Barkley at 6’4 in person because his overweight frame . He was always overweight since his playings days . Today Barkley is very fat . Nobody questioned Jordan fake 6’6 listed height ( shoe heights aren’t legit . Shoes aren’t part of the body ) because his slender build . Slender people look taller and fat people look shorter. Barkley look 6’4 to most people because he is fat . But in reality he is closer to 6’5 than 6’4.

    Why would you give players a chance to lie on one of the most important facts about their physical gifts?
    Imagine Usain Bolt telling people he's 6'2" and then seeing him tower over everyone around him, even known figures whose height you somehow know from somewhere. That would be called dishonest and wrong!
    In soccer, you take off the shoes, have them stand up straight and read the ruler ^^
