@Devin Paul
Sorry, but you basically lost all credibility on this page by saying Conan was max 6'2". He was taller than Sacha Baron Cohen (the most clear-cut 6'3" guy on the planet), Will Ferrel, Jason Segel, and Jeff Goldblum (in their last meeting).
Conan also had noticeable height on Dolph Lundgren a few years ago. Minimum 1.5" on him.

I'm curious as to how Kenny Smith dogs Barkley as being 6'4" to which Charles replies back 6'5", when Kenny is clearly at LEAST 3" smaller than Barkley. You'd think he'd leave it be since their listings are 6'6" and 6'3"

If Barkley is 6'4.75" (195 cm) then Jordan should be downgraded to 6'4.25" (193.5 cm). Otherwise, at peak height it could be Barkley : 6'5" (196 cm) and Jordan 6'4.5" (194.5 cm) as stated by Pat Riley.

I am pretty sure I said this already. Lennox Lewis has stated he is 6'4 3/4. Riddick Bowe stated he is 6'4 3/4 there are pictures that show they are the same height. There are pictures of Barkley and Lewis on this site and they are the same height.

I truly think that at a minimum Charles is 196cm-197cm and that MJ is 194cm-195cm.
Yeah that sounds as good as it gets.
In my opinion there will always be an issue with Hogan listed at 6´6" and Barkley at 6´4.75 when all brought up evidence showing Barkley the taller man.
Same with Barkley and MJ.
Barkley peak 6´5.5"
MJ peak 6´4.75"
Hogan peak 6´5"

Boateng is in sneakers there, while Zlatan is wearing dressing shoes. And Zlatan is closer to the camera. That pic lies a lot. Zlatan looks 197cm there. Thiego Silva is 182cm, and he reaches only Zlatan's lower nose. Normally he should reach Zlatan's eye level. So i wouldnt pay too much tension on that pic.
Click Here
But anyway, Barkley has also claimed 197cm, and he surely looks that height. He has also claimed 195cm, but we dont know weather he was standing tall there, or was he measure late in the evening. To me he doesnt look that low. But hey, Rob is the site master, and obviously he wants to leave Sir Charles at 195cm. That's totally ok with me, even i disagree. After all, this site is about discussing heights. I have said enough on this topic, so you may continue.

I'd say Barkley is 6'5" (196 cm) flat at least. I was and advocate of the 6'5.5" (197cm) measurement, but know with the knowledge of how height changes during the day, I'm not sure. The thing that is clear is that he's taller than MJ.

Like said, dont try to downgrade everybody who looks short with Barkley. Boris Kodjoe is actually closer to 194cm than 191cm. Just google and you will notice. Couple of pics here. Andy Roddick is 188cm. The guy on the very right, John Isner, is 208cm. Kodjoe allmost reaches his eyelevel, which means ca. 14cm difference. Roddick reaches Isners mouth level, which means 20cm difference, which is pretty accuracy.

Here Kodjoe with 183cm Patrick McEnroe, on the right.

So, Boris is really a strong 6'4 guy, and still Barkley edges him out with 2 inches, easily.

Sorry, but you basically lost all credibility on this page by saying Conan was max 6'2". He was taller than Sacha Baron Cohen (the most clear-cut 6'3" guy on the planet), Will Ferrel, Jason Segel, and Jeff Goldblum (in their last meeting). So if he's 6'2", what does that make them? 6'1" range? LOL! He's AT LEAST 192 cm. You can believe whatever foolish opinion you want, but no one on this site with common sense is going to take you seriously if you say things like "I'll give him (Conan) 6'2 max."
As for Barkley, I'm not sure. His height's hard to pin down. At times, he really doesn't look more than 195 cm, like with Lennox Lewis where they look about the same height and that measured 6'7.75" guy. But most of the time, he can look taller like in the pictures dietmar posted. I think he was measured this at his absolute lowest.

Devin Paul, sorry, but i think nobody takes you seriously after claiming 188cm for Conan. Just to let you know, that's how a 188cm guy ( Andy Richter) looks with Conan.

I would also like to have an explanation to these pics. There are loads of moore, but we can start with these. Barkley with 191cm Gabrielle Reece and 193cm Boris Kodjoe. These pics have been posted earlier, with no response, so he we go again. And dont even try to downgrade Reece or Kodjoe, they are solid 191cm and 193cm.

Like said, there are loads of pics where Barkley constantly edges out 193cm guys with 4-5cm marginal. Conan is not the only one, you know. The only explanation is that Barkley is 197cm. In fact, after studying carefully all the pics posted here, im pretty sure Barkley is a full 198cm. This height was in fact mentioned, when he was drafted in NBA 1984.

Btw, Hardaway is not an inch taller than Barkley. Hardaway has higher eyelevel than Barkley, thats why he looks taller. Barkley has bigger forehead, so they are actually the same height. Or very close to anyway.

Heres another good comparision with 193cm David Hasselhoff, with cowboy boots. He reaches just above Pippens eyebrows, which is 8-9cm difference. Barkley is no moore than 3cm shorter than Pippen there.

So really guys, stop this nonsense with Barkley being only 195cm. In that case around 30-40 people should be downgraded several centimeters. Excuse me Devin Paul, but i cant stop laughing at your 188cm claim for Conan :D

Thanks joe 193cm night. With this being said, Barkley definitely is in the 6'4 range. I'd imagine Calais Campbell being listed at 6'8 (at minimum in the 6'7 range as you rarely see a player in any sport listed barefoot) proves this. I don't understand what is so difficult for everyone to believe that Barkley is not 6'6 or close to it. Why would he lie down #1 and if so, others in the NBA would call him on if he were. Not to mention that a handful of us just from this thread have seen him and can easily say 6'4 ish and not any taller!!!!!

Once again, both of you, just scroll down and compare Barkley with several celebs like 191cm Gabrielle Reese, who is 7cm shorter than Sir Charles, or 193cm Boris Kodjoe, who is 4-5cm shorter than Charles, or 195cm Usain Bolt, who is moore than an inch shorter than Charles, ie. the list is endless.

dietmar, that is the dumbest comparison I have seen in my life. You are obviously biased. Conan's head is tilted #1 and 2 Conan is not 6'4 like you claim. I'll give him 6'2 max. Looking at Pippen and Barkley (Pippen is listed as 6'6 1/2 barefoot out of college and 6'7 1/2 in shoes, but I'll call him 6'7 as he may have grown the half inch), it is about the same difference. Take a look at the picture of Barkley and 6'6 penny Hardaway. Height posted it in his 27 Feb 15 post. Now If Penny is 6'6 (which is 100% accurate), Barkley has a difficult time sniffing 6'5. There is at least an inch difference. If you're gonna use evidence, use some that actually is objective and not subjective. Like joe 193 cm night says your pictures favor Barkley and they are all biased.

Its very hard (impossible) to tell if somebodys 1cm taller, or shorter, just by standing close to him. And you keep forgetting if Barkley really is only 195cm, then Conan is no moore than 190-191cm, which is ridiculous, of course. He edges out all 191cm guys. So really, Barkley cant be just 195cm. Its just not possible.

I believe his word as most people lie up not down. Have u seen him with Dan Majerle? Majerle is taller than he is by almost an inch. And if u see him next to Scottie pippen he is over 2 inches shorter than pip so it def adds up

Duhon, I have seen him in person at a golf tournament and he isn't downplaying anything. I am officially 6'4 5/8 and I was eye level with him when I saw him. I think what is causing this debate to go on is that most celebs in general lie up about their height. Most either measure in shoes or most just flat out lie. I can't count how many nba players I've seen say they're 6'4 and only come up to my eye brows. Barkley at least is about that without shoes and close to 6'6 (roundable to 6'6) in shoes. I don't understand why people are so surprised about this. 95% of the nba does this. Some more than others

Dave Grohl is 183cm and he doesnt reach Barkleys eyelevel. As we can see, Charles can easily look over Dave, and it cant be done, if your just 12cm taller. It takes at least 14cm. Krist Novoselic (201-203cm) doesnt look much taller than Charles there.

What comes to previous pics with Conan and Charles, dont let Conans hair fool you, try to imagine Conan as bald, and you will see the real, 5cm difference. We can all agree Conan has at least one inch of hair, right? Well, he is still one inch shorter, with his hair. Thats easy math, 1+1 = 2inch.

4cm is absolutely minimum difference. That would make Charles 197cm. In my opinion, the difference is closer to 5cm though. Conan is indeed tilting his head abit in the pics, when he stands straith, his eyelevel reaches Barkleys lower nose. Thats 5cm dead on. Both men has big heads, so theres no difference there.

Lol @joe193cm, are you seriously saying theres only one inch difference between Conan and Barkley? Excuse me but your judging of height is terrible. I will give you a hint, if somebodys eye level reaches anothers mouth level, he is 7cm shorter. Compare Conans eye level with Barkleys mouth level and you will see.

@173cm, Barkley is closer to the camera there. The difference is not quite that big in real life. But its deninitely moore than just 2cm. In fact, Conan is a good inch shorter than Barkley, even counted with his hair.

As we can all see, Barkley is easily 4-5cm taller than Conan.

Rob,
Barkely has claimed both 6'4 3/4" (195cm) and 6'5 1/2" (197cm). From all the evidence we have seen lately, perhaps he should be taller than MJ by 1cm-1.5cm at least. The question is do you agree to downgrade MJ and upgrade Barkley?

Editor Rob Barkley seems insistant on wanting to be 6ft 4.75. I think most would agree that is his lowest measurement.

Its plain obvious Barkley is taller than 195cm. No question about it. As you can see, "Big Arnie" doesnt even reach Barkleys eyelevel, which means Sir Charles is moore than 12cm taller than Arnie.

Here's Barkley with strong 6'4 Boris Kodjoe.

If Barkley really is only 195cm, like some "experts" claim, i can make a list of 30-40 celebs, who needs to be downgraded several centimeters. Starting with Rock 191cm -> 188cm, Gabrielle Reese 191cm -> 188cm. Kevin Sorbo 191cm -> 188cm, Usain Bolt 196cm -> 193cm, etc, etc, etc...

Height,
I think Chuck at 6'4 3/4 is feasible (definitely not at 6'6 or 6'5.5, although in shoes he is about that to get rounded to 6'6). His height could be deceptive because he weighed 300 pounds when I saw him too. I may be able to give Pip 6'7 flat because he looked significantly taller than I was (I assumed he was shorter but being a fan of scotties I also know he doesn't stand straight and has a long face, and I also did read where he wanted to be a point guard when he played so he probably didn't want to be listed at 6'8 earlier in his career (even tho I have cards going back that actually had him there before Portland did it late in his career) and definitely not 6'9. Plus I saw an excerpt yesterday where phil claimed Scottie was 6'9 (although he probably embellished that). I will say he looks Phil's height or taller (which is high 6'6 or 6'7 barefoot) compared to guys like Harper MJ Kobe and Dennis. However I saw a pic with he and 6'8 listed Jeff Sanders (don't know how tall sanders is but def at least 6'7) with president Obama and he looked shorter than Sanders but same thing here bad posture. He looks maybe 1/4 taller than Glen Rice too who is about the same as Smitty (I'll call rice 6'6.5 too barefoot). But thinking about it, I don't think he wears a high cut shoe either so what they said about 6'7.5 early in His career may have been in lower cut esp since he didnt want to be considered a big guy and he was thin at 210-212 pounds back then. Also he looks close to charles oakley's height (prob less than an inch diff) and oak was about 6'7.5 barefoot (he was listed 6'8 and 6'9 in his career).

@Arkansauce and @Not Tippin Pippen. I really like the approach you both have.
I think both Scottie and Barkley may be 1/4 of an inch less than I pressumed. I still think from what I've seen over the years that Sir Charles is a little taller than Jordan.
This is a small sample list I have right now:
Charles Barkley: 6'4.75" / 6'5" flat (195 cm/195.5 cm)
Michael Jordan: 6'4.5"/ 6'4.75" (194.3 cm / 195 cm)

Larry Bird 6'9.5" (207 cm)
Chris Mullin: 6'5" flat (195.5 cm)
Ron Harper: 6'5" flat / 6'5.25" (195.5 cm / 196.2 cm)
Clyde Drexler: 6'5.5" (196.8 cm)
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: 7'1.87" (218 cm)
Wilt Chamberlain: 7'0.75" / 7'1" flat (215 cm/ 215.9 cm)

@JT: think you need to go to the doctor and actually get measured because all of your estimates are way off. You probably are not really 6'4 1/2 as you say. That's usually why the other heights are is inflated because yours is. Kobe is a hair under 6'5 (about 194-195 cm). Number one he admitted it, 2 if u see him next to guys like MJ (jordan admitted he's under 6'5) too you can tell.

@JT and Height: I've seen Pip in person before as I live here in Miami where he is part of the year. there is no way he is 6'7.5 barefoot. That is his height in shoes (between 6'7.5-6'7.75). Meaning barefoot he is probably a little under 6'7 or very close to it. I've also seen charles in person and he is about the same as MJ kobe and stackhouse (all listed at 6'6 on paper but rounded up likely from 6'5.5, but are in the mid to high 6'4 range barefoot). Barkley definitely isn't 6'6 even with shoes on. Just face the facts!

@height, i have posted the same pic on Magic Johnson topic. I doubt if Pippen really is 202cm barefoot? Maybe he was measured 202cm with shoes on? He definitely looks at least 3cm shorter than Malone in the pics i have seen.
But anyway, this topic is about Charles Barkley, and i think its about time to upgrade him to 197cm. All the evidence is pointing at that direction. It really doesnt make any sense when Gabrielle Reese gets 191cm listing on this site, while Barkley gets only 195cm listing, and we can all see Charles is at least 7-8cm cm taller than Reese.
In this pic Barkley looks (again)taller than Jordan.

Barkley is an interesting 'case',he does pull off a strong 6'5 or even more most of the time at 50+ years of age mind you.Also looks bigger with Strahan than Manganiello does in the photo below....i dont know what's the culprit as he probably is what he claims,a 195cm guy...was he undermeasured in the nba,maybe,but i doubt it..

Charles Barkley has to be 6'6 at the least. At worst he's 6'5.5. I do see 6'6 exp next to Usain Bolt who he's noticeably taller. Pictures don't lie with the pic just because has of Usain Bolt and Michael looking about the same height, but with Barkley Usain is much shorter.

Well, the fact other people are listed at a certain height on here doesn't mean they're necessarily that height! The fact is that when a celebrity is honest, they always mess up with many listings on here! Why? Because the other people are probably not what they say or what they're listed at! You mentioned The Rock? Of course, The Rock is not 6'3, i think most of the people agree with that on his page but still gets listed at 6'3... Usain Bolt, after seeing him with some people, i think he might be more a solid 6'4 than 6'5! So yeah, in a sense you can't have Charles at only 6'4.75 and other people listed at certain heights! That's what you say? I agree with you... Rob gives big benefits of doubt to some celebrities at times...

@height, Scottie Pippen (201-202cm) stands between Barkley and Drexler, we can all see he's only about 4cm taller than Barkley, and 2cm taller than Drexler. So, Drexler cant be 196-197 range.
Here's Drexler with 206cm Karl Malone Click Here
Drexler with 203cm Andrew Sullivan Click Here
As we can see, Drexler is a legit 200cm guy. And he's only about an inch taller than Barkley. So, i rest my case.

Why is everyone trying to upgrade him? He's claimed 6'4.75 twice and that's a very specific height... He must have measured near that!
Because of how he appears next to several other celebrities who's height are featured on this site. He absolutely dwarfs the 6'3" listed Dwayne Johnson. He looks significantly taller next to the 6'5" listed Usain Bolt, these are just a few among others. Regardless of what Charles says he looks like a strong 6'5er" not a weak one. If he were listed at 6'5" here I doubt anybody would try to seriously challenge it.

Dietmar, I wouldn't compare people at a distance, only next to each other
BTW, I think Mullin and Drexler have both similar heights to Barkley (6'5"-6'5.5" / 196cm, 197cm)

Lewis did look the same height as 1,94m Florian König (German TV)so I have him at 6´4.5" in my book.
But Lewis head is closer to the cam and it´s very possible to say Barkley is about 2cm taller in a back to back pic.
Lewis 194cm - 195cm max
Barkley 196cm - 197cm max

Compare Barkley with a legit 200cm Clyde Drexler, on the very right. No way there is 5cm difference. Its moore like 3cm. Which means Barkley is 197cm.

Well, Andrea, the problem is that if Barkley really is only 195cm, then we must downgrade a bunch of other celebs. Example, Chris Mullin is only 196cm, Scottie Pippen 199cm, Usain Bolt 193cm, Michael Jordan 193cm, Steven Seagal 191cm, Larry Bird 204cm, etc etc..
Its far moore likely Barkley is 197cm. Then everything matches, and we dont have to downgrade anybody. Im pretty sure Barkley was measured 195cm at some point, otherwise he would'nt claim that height, but we dont know what time of the day he was measured, what instrument was used, maybe he was just wrongly measured? Its possible too, you know. So i would't pay too much tension to that mystigal 195cm claim. Its obviously not his true height.

6'3.75? You meant 6'4.75? He doesn't look 4 inches shorter there... And Seagal doesn't even look 6'3.5 if he is just 6'4.75 :) Looks more 6'3 flat to be fair!

Very good pic JT, thanks for that. Another proof Barkley is 197cm. He is not even standing tall, and edges Seagal by a good inch. Seagal claims to be 196cm, but his real height is probably around 193-194cm.

Editor Rob
In the same way I could say, look at this chap with Barkley: Click Here.
We know he is measured 6ft 7.75 (and that's not an evening one) so it's just an example of Charles looking 6ft 3.75.
In the same way, Seagal might have thin footwear or be 6ft 3.5 today.

Ok, i have now studied hard Barkleys height, and indeed, he is 197cm. If you look at him next to a legit 198cm Chris Mullin, Barkley is only a hair shorter.
Click Here
You can also compare Barkley with 201-202cm Scottie Pippen. Charles is no moore than 4-5cm shorter. Patrick Ewing on the very right is 213cm. So really Rob, Barkley needs an upgrade. Beats me why he dowgrades himself. Maybe he was measured 195cm very late in the evening, after hard training. Who knows. He is indeed 197cm most of the day. Definitely taller than Jordan.

dietmar, I understand your point and is perfectly valid, but I do think we are in a position to doubt that since:
1. MJ himself said he was 6'6" and turns out Barkley is taller than him.
2. MJ has been officially measured at 6'4.75" (195cm) and Barkley is taller than him.
To me is more like:
Jordan 6'4.75" (195cm)
Barkley: 6'5.5" (197cm)

They use many kind of basketball shoes in NBA, some have only 1.5cm, some have up to 5cm heels. So its quite hard to compare players heights on the court. But i agree, Barkley looks taller than Jordan in most pictures, wearing similar shoes. But hey, if Barkley says he is 195cm, then who are we to doubt that? Jordan is probably around 193-194cm. Thats why Barkley appears slightly taller in pics.

Barkley doesnt look taller than his claimed height of 6'4.75.

Danimal, why would Barkley claim a lower measured height to the exact inch? Hes not 6'5.5. If he wanted to make himself more impressive with his basketball feats he would just say "6'4".

@Rob The picture was taken for a celebrity event promoting his new film pain and gain where Barkley and Shaq have a 'Lift off' where Barkely cheats by using fake weights. Link below. So i highly doubt it was after a workout.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZIp4daEO1I
Also his co-star in the movie Mark Wahlberg was there. Who is listed a 5'8. To me looks nowhere near a 7 inch difference. 7 inches would mean that the top of marks head would be at around the rocks mouth level right. Of course Mark has the hair advantage but no more than 0.25 of an inch with that style. So conclusion is the rock is shorter than listed height. While i too do find it hard to believe the rock is sub 6'3 there is plenty of evidence to prove otherwise.

Rob how do you explain the difference between Charles and the Rock. Average eye level to top of head on average is about 4.25 inches but being the big man he is id imagine his head would be a little larger than average. For arguments sake say its average. I think if stood up completely straight his eye level would be in line with the top of Dwaynes head. Thus making him 4.25 inches taller therefore the rock would be 6'0.5 at Barkleys height on here. Even if he was 6'6 that would make the rock 6'1.75. He is at the very least 3.5 inches shorter. Either Barkely needs an upgrade or the Rock a downgrade.

Barkley would have had a peak Hogan by around an inch Click Here (bottom left photo is them standing in about the same position in the same WCW ring) and be within 4 inches of even Andre, who may be wearing his big orthopedic shoes here as well. Click Here

But with someone like Big Lennox I think he's closer to his claim than this 6ft 6 myth.

don't see many arguing 6'6 for barkley, most have him under that. but rob you have hulk hogan at 6'6 peak over an inch taller than barkley. can you honestly say with hand on heart that peak hogan looks over an inch taller than barkley next to the same person in these clips?

Can look? I posted only one picture (maybe the best) but you can find other pics of them together and there's noway Lisa is even a mm over 6'4 if Kobe is a 6'4.75 guy, noway! She also looks noway near 6'5 with Vincent and the 5'11 woman... And look at this: Click Here
Steve Howey is a solid 6'3 guy (6'3-6'3.5) and looks barely shorter than her! Or even 6'2-2.5 range Ashton Kutcher certainly doesn't look 2-3 inches shorter than her! Near 6'4 is certainly more possible! And, getting back to Kobe, what about the other "comparisons"? He looks taller than 6'5 if all the other guys are near their listings! Btw, the link of "Hugh Jackman with Barkley with Cudmore" doesn't work...

Editor Rob Leslie can look shorter than kobe in the old link, I didn't see her with charles, but I've seen a little of Lisa and other players and she can look anywhere from 6ft 4 and change up to a full 6ft 5.

Yeah, but then how can all those celebrities i've mentioned be so short next to him? And Lisa Leslie, who is pretty tall herself, does look a solid inch shorter than him!

Editor Rob generally he can look 6ft 5 range. He has come out with the 2 heights of 6ft 4.75 and 5.5.
I believe he was measured almost 6ft 5 one point, and he may also have measured 6ft 5.5 aswell.

How big is head is then, to appear so tall? 8 inches? To me, it seems an average 9.5 head and maybe 4.25 inch eyelevel? That's not so small, after all!

Nice try JT. I've met Spencer Haywood in person. He is below the 6'7 mark. I'm 6'5.25 and he DEFINITELY did not have a complete 2 inches on me. Lebron would edge him out im sure. More like 1.25, 1.5. Kobe is below the 6'5 mark I edged him out in a back to back picture I took with him last year at the 2013 NBA All Star game. I would have guessed 194cm but 195cm seems reasonable.

KROC, the full length shots show barkley slightly taller, anyway pictures alone are not enough evidence, its pretty easy to find a photo or photos of anyone looking the height you want them to look if you search hard enough.. video evidence far and away trumps photographic evidence
pray tell what's the height difference between kobe and obama here then at 8 min 12 seconds considering its about 4.5 inches between the average persons eyeline and top of head.. Click Here
as for what kobe claims himself "Everyone thinks I’m 6 feet 7 inches tall. But just between you and me, I’m really 6-4.” Click Here
another time he stated, 'I'm probably 6-5 in sneaks"

Vegas what are you talking about? Michael Jordan and Barkley are the same height. Jordan has even said this before. 99% of the pictures I've seen show that those two are the same height. Barkley has claimed every height underneath the sun so that doesn't mean anything. And Kobe is 195cm. His wife measured him at that, and its what he looks in person. LOL at 4.5 inches on Obama. Obama's probably a weak 6'1 anyway.

@Vegas: The problem with the video of Levi and Conan is that the latter is closer to the camera the entire time. In addition, Levi is slouching slightly for most of the clip, while Conan maintains virtually perfect for most of it. I found the most telling moment to be at the 54 second mark when Levi finishes whispering in Conan's ear, and their postures flip-flop from what they had been up until that point with Levi standing up straight and Conan dropping into a slight slouch: Once you discount Conan's hair, Levi manages to look a mere half inch or so shorter, and that's with Conan possessing the camera advantage as well as the footwear advantage, which I feel are more than enough to offset his slight slouch. A final point, Conan appears to be tip-toeing as he walks up to Levi at 19-21 seconds, and when he plants his right foot he still hasn't dropped his heel to the ground. I don't believe he was tip-toeing for the entire segment, but it's certainly a possibility to consider given the evidence.
What also needs to be taken into account is that Kobe, Jordan, and Barkley all generally appear to be the same height in photos, and all of them have claimed to be 6'4.75''. To say that Barkley is 6'5''+ is to suggest that Kobe, Jordan, and Barkley are all downgrading themselves, something which is ludicrously improbable.

Charles is in the conversation for best NBA rebounder of all-time. He is, with Dennis Rodman, considered the best "SHORT" (by NBA standards) rebounder ever. No one, except Rodman, is even close at this size. The shorter the rebounder, the more impressive his accomplishments are. That is built into the NBA mindset and it makes good sense. Charles would have people believe that he was 6'3" if he could because it just adds to his career and its perception. He is a full 6'7.5," if not taller, in b-ball shoes with a 7 foot wingspan. If you have doubts, look at his popular online mugshot and then look at his YouTube lifting competition that involved the supposedly 6'5" wrestler turned actor, the Rock. Charles absolutely dwarfs the Rock! I'd say he has him by 4 strong inches. Also note how much taller he is than Kenny Smith, (6'3") his TNT colleague. I've never seen such a difference in height between two people who basically claim to be the same height. (Rock and Chuck) Part of the Rock picture can easily be explained because the Rock is nowhere close to his 6'5 listing. If he is an honest 6'3" w/o shoes, I'd be shocked.

Ya I agree I would give Barkley 6'5-'6'5.5 range. Look at him next to Usain Bolt who's not shorter than 6'5. He's noticeably taller, and also much taller than The Rock.
The thing is... he kinda is! Bolt was listed 6'4 before he become this superman he is, same with Blanka Vlasic... she did grow from 6'2 to 6'4 (yes she was listed 6'2 like 11 years ago) and Asafa Powell, he grew from 6'2 to 6'3...

In the photo with Barkley and the Rock, Barkley has at least 3 inches on the Rock, its more than 2 inches.

JTM - look at Barkley's official police mugshot. He's huge. Between 6'7 and 6'8.
He was obviously wearing shoes. But that still mean's he's obviously over 6'6 barefoot.

I'd say Charles is around 6'4.5" to 6'5.5" The funny thing to me is that the NBA kinda disrespected him/played him up by saying he was the shortest guy to win a rebounding title at just over 6'4", yet not dismissing the fact that all the other players had padded heights as well.

Maybe the 6'4.75" measurement was taken with loose posture...6'5.5" is just as precise...maybe the difference should be split between his two claims.

If Barkley isn't at least 6'6, I can't see the Rock being 6'3, going by that (in?)famous picture of him, Barkley, Shaq, and Wahlberg.
the picture also proves wahlberg is not 5'8.

No way, Barkley and Jordan are the same exact height, even Jordan has acknowledged that. The first picture Jordan is sacrificing height because his legs are spread apart. The second picture they look exactly the same height. They're eyelines are even as are their shoulders... Jordan is 195,196 max.

I spent the time and did the research. I'm 100% sure that Barkley is 195cm. Kobe is also 195cm, I've seen him on multiple occasions, most recently being early last year. I use to see Vince all the time during his Vinsanity days. He's definitely the full 6'5-but no more. You'd be surprised how many 6'5 guys get listed as 6'7. I been busy the last couple of weeks so I haven't had time to post any pictures. Wednesday I'm off so I'll be making my case on not only Barkley, but Shaq and Chris Paul as well. So definitely keep an eye on those pages.

Charles barckey would be listed as 6'7 easily in the case of being 6'5.5 . Charles barckey played as powerforward and he was short for that position. The average powerforward barefoot is between 6'8 and 6'9 . Charles barckey was listed as 6'6 in his entire career. The nba usually inflate players heights and not the other way around. Downgrading players heights is extremely rare in the nba like kevin garnet for example . He is listed at 6'11 but he is taller than 6'11 flat without shoes. He don't want to be listed at 7'0 because Garnet never wanted to play at center position. In the case of charles barckey there isn't any reason to downgrade him . He was actually short for his position.

Actually, JT posted a very good full body pic from head to toe where Barkley did appear to be about an inch taller than Jordan, and another picture that showed a similar height difference. Kobe can often look strong 6'5" range and Vince Carter is supposedly 6'5.5", which makes sense since I remember him being listed at 6'7" when he was a Raptor. Barkley being 6'6" is not laughable, but anything under 6'5" is laughable unless Rob has everyone Barkley has been compared to listed an inch too high. But I'm fine with 6'5.5" for Barkley as well, in fact, that's probably the fairest guess, and Chuck may have been honest with his quote above where he said "I claimed to be 6-6 when I played, but I'm only 6-5 1/2."

Are you sure that Conan is the full 6'4? A lot of people seem to think otherwise. Check out his page. If Barkley is the full 6'6 then so is Michael Jordan... If Michael is 6'6 then so is Kobe Bryant. If Kobe is 6'6 then so is Vince Carter! You see where this is going right? Your going to have to start upgrading a lot of people. All in all Barkley being 6'6 is laughable. I'd actually would have an easier time believing he was 6'5.5.

I'm sorry but the full 6'6 is ridiculous for Barkley. But I also feel that 6'4.5 is a bit too low. Personally I feel that the listed height is perfect for him. I will be making my case for this later on this week.

Honestly, Barkley looks 6'6" using heights from this site as a reference, but I can settle on 6'5.5", though not less, and for Barkley's current listing to add up, everyone I mentioned has to be downgraded by an inch. 6'4.75" or even 6'5" just don't make sense. I'd believe 6'5.75", but not 6'4.75".
Exactly if it wasn't for Barkleys own comment on his height, based on photo evidence as has been described, I don't think anybody here would be doubting barkley as at least a strong 6'5". He looks taller than just about every other 6'5" listed celeb on the site in all honesty.

Hakeem olajuwon is 6'10-6'10.5 max by his own admission. He is clearly taller than howard around 1inch taller . Howard is 6'9 or maybe 6'9.5 max. Again charles barckey at 6'6 is bs .

So to recap, going over this page, using other listings from this site and only full body pics or video, we have Barkley looking close to 2 inches taller than 6'4" Conan, about an inch taller than 6'5" Jordan, between 3-4 inches taller than the Rock who is listed here at 6'3", at least 3 inches taller than 6'3" Garielle Reece, about 6 inches taller than 6'0" Tiger Woods when you consider Tiger's hat and Barkley's slouch. Then there's the Nirvana video where Barkley is just barely shorter than 6'7" Krist Novoselic, 6'0" Dave Grohl's head isn't higher than the bottom of Barkley's nose at best and 5'9" Kurt Cobain looks a full head shorter than Barkley. And while Jon Jones isn't listed here, as Vegas mentioned, he does look close to his 6'4" listing, and Barkley definitely didn't look less than 2 inches shorter. As for Usain Bolt, who is listed at 6'5" here, it wasn't a full body pic, but Barkley was so obviously taller than it's impossible for me to believe they're the same height regardless.

Look I haven't met Jordan in person. But everyone that I've talked to who has, pretty much described him as ABOUT 6'5 or a WEAK 6'5. Lilo Thomas is right. Barkley and Jordan are the same exact height. They're both a fraction below the 6'5 mark. Look at in game photos of them together. Now look at photos of Charles Barkley with LEGIT 6'5.5 Julius Erving. Or Clyde Drexler (6'5.5). No way. Barkley never measures up. Kevin Durant is 6'9 and no more. Dwight Howard is 6'9 and no more. They use to list him as 6'10 but bumped him up to 6'11, claiming he "grew" Maybe the soles in his shoes got thicker... Or maybe they just want to make him seem more intimidating on paper. You be the judge. What makes this all the more entertaining/annoying is that you guys throw up crappy pics in order to prove your point. Your just gonna have to do better. Conan isn't even the full 6'4 IMO. I've seen Usain Bolt in person. No way is he a legit 6'5. Not even 195. To sum this up if Barkley was the height you say then the NBA would have listed him at 6'7. Just like Julius Erving. Just like Clyde Drexler. Just like Rick Fox and countless other 6'5.5 measured players. Why should Barkley be the exception? Explain that.

People have to understand barkley is one of the few athletes/celebs who consistently downplays his height.

Rising force michael jordan wasn't shorter that barckey . Michael jordan in some pics looked actually a bit taller than charles . In reality both guys are the same height. Scottie pippen was sometimes listed at 6'7 and sometimes he was listed at 6'8 . In reality he is between the 2 heights 6'7.5 . Most guys in the nba are shorter than listed but Scottie pippen wasn't . He is a legit 6'7.5 Kevin durant is a legit 6'9 and not more . He is one of the few guys in the nba today listed as his barefoot height . He is 2 inches taller than lebron james. And lebron james is 6'7.25 barefoot. Dwilght Howard was measured 6'9 without shoes and he isn't grown since then. He is shorter than 6'10 Hakeem Olayuwon. Anyway charles barckey at 6'6 is BS. He is legit 6'5 nothing more.

And lebron james is 6'7.25 barefoot. Dwilght Howard was measured 6'9 without shoes and he isn't grown since then. He is shorter than 6'10 Hakeem Olayuwon. Anyway charles barckey at 6'6 is BS. He is legit 6'5 nothing more.

I'm not going on assumptions, I'm go with how Barkley looks, and he looks 6'5.5" minimum to me. And he looked a bit taller than Jordan most of the time. A 6'4" range Barkley is a myth he was all too happy to play up. Scottie Pippen should have been listed at 6'9" by that logic. The fact is, he wasn't. He was listed at 6'7" most of his career and 6'8" later. Hell, Kevin Durant is still listed at 6'9", a height he already was barefoot at 18-19, and has likely grown beyond. He should at least be listed at 6'11" like Dwight Howard, but isn't. The fact is your logic doesn't even come close to disproving Barkley at 6'5.5" minimum. If someone actually wants to make the case he's shorter, then post a good amount of comparisons showing it because as of now, there have been countless good comparisons showing him to be 6'5.5" minimum, with the most recent being the Conan one.

Rising force that's BS. Charles barckey at 6'6 would be listed at 6'7 -6'8 in the nba . He was listed at 6'6 powerforward in his career.

If Barkley is 6'5.5, then so is Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. Oh and that would make Julius Erving well over 6'6. Sorry not seeing this. He really doesn't look a strong 6'5 to me.

Barkley looks closer to 6'6" than 6'5" with Conan. Conan is about 6'4", just look at him a few years back with Dolph Lundgren. I'd believe 6'6" for Barkley before I'd believe he's under 6'5". My guess is Barkley's 6'5.5" claim above was probably about right because he pretty much never looks below 6'5.5" in actual comparisons. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that'd pretty much be the minimum I'd guess him at.

Barkley looking clearly taller than two guys who are in the 1`91-92 area. Truth to be told, Charles is closer to the camera so he gives the impression of being even taller.

Solid 6'6" barefoot not straining for added height. Makes "The Rock" look like he's a weak 6-2!"

Let us assume (because it's fun!) that Barkley has lied about his height. When he was an active player he lied up so that he could be counted as a tall guy with the other tall guys. Then, after he retired, he lied down so that his playing record would seem that much more impressive because of his ostensibly short stature. Anyway, he wasn't six foot five, and he wasn't six foot four. We've got a fix on the guy, right here at Celebrity Heights, which shows you the power of the internet to Bring the People the Truth.

After jumping and dunking, one will measure lower than night height because of all the compression. If barkley was measured after a day lazing around like most of us, i'm sure he would measure 6'5.5". One common misconception about NBA players is that they stop growing when they get in the nba. They don't. Most grow another inch or 2.

Barkley looks huge in lots of the pics posted here (next to Bolt or Gabrielle Reece, next to Novoselic or Brad Garret). If I hadn´t seen him on the court I would have said he was around 6´7.

In my opinion, Charles Barkley in college used to be as tall as 6'5" to 6'6" tall all of a sudden. He played power forward and center but...he is undersized to rebound of then he dunks sometimes. And now, he is an analyst on TNT with Shaquille O'Neal and he gained a little more weight because he eats krispy kreme
doughnuts and his words said instead of terrible is "turrible."

Wasn't Michael Jordan measured at 6'4 7/8? If so then Barkley has to be at least 6'5.

That could be true, and many have stated it, but there's still no solid proof of the measurement. The closest thing to a measurement I've seen for Jordan is John Feinstein writing that Pat Riley said MJ was measured barefoot at 6'4.5".

Barkley is as listed . In some pics he can look a strong 6-5 . Charles is in the high 6-4 range . Very close to 6-5 .

Those pictures seem pretty conclusive - Barkley and Jordan are the same height, more or less. Though this height for Barkley means that A LOT of other celebs on this site should be slightly downgraded...

The popular opinion on here seems to be that Barkley is more 6'5.5" - 6'6" than 6'4.5" - 6'5" range. There is a lot of anecdotal evidence that Barkley is a high 6'4" rather than a weak 6'6".
Pat Riely once said that Jordan was measured at 6'4.5" before he was drafted. Here are a few pics of Barkley next to Jordan. They look fairly similar to me, not much more than a fraction of an inch one way or another:

And to those who say they look the same height because MJ was also 6'5.5" - 6'6" range, here he is standing beside 6'9" Larry Bird and near 6'7" - 6'7.5" Magic Johnson. I think he's looking pretty much exactly 6'4.5", and at the very most 6'5" flat. Not near 6'6": Click Here

Barkley used to live near my parents back when he was on the Sixers...I never saw him personally but my dad saw him walking around the block and said he was maybe a little taller than him. My dad is 6'4" (a bit under now).
