Charles Barkley's Height
6ft 4 ⅞ (195.3 cm)
American former Basketball player. In 2002 a Sports Writer said Barkley was "Officially measured at 6-4 7/8 inches".

I'm 6-4 3/4 [6ft 6] just sounded good coming out of college.
They lie...I’ve been measured at 6-5, 6-4 ¾. But I started in college at 6-6. (2008)
I claimed to be 6-6 when I played, but I'm only 6-5 1/2
What's so startling about the numbers is another number: his height of 6-foot-4....In 10th grade, pudgy and merely 5-foot-10, he failed to make his high school varsity squad...A 6-inch growth spurt his senior year led to a scholarship

It was in the run-up to the 1992 Olympics that the world finally learned what the cognoscenti had long suspected -- that Charles Barkley was more like 6-4 5/8 than 6-6, and Magic Johnson closer to 6-7 than 6-9.
- Sports Illustrated
[When] Barkley questioned [Tiger] Woods' listed height of 6-foot-2, Woods responded by saying, "every program said you were 6-6. you're no more than 6-4 on a good day."
That majority of people in the world don't do what it takes to win. The world is full of lazy people. That's the problem with the world today, everybody is looking for the easy road.
I'm 6-4 playing guys 6'9 or 6-10 and the only way I can beat them is to out-think them, outwork them, whatever it takes. It all depends on how badly you want it.

@181guy: this is the same guy (Danimal) that says Hogsn has lost 4” in height. I still have hogan around 6’3 today. And Barkley has claimed 6’4” flat so how is that downgrading him? And he measured 6’4 5/8” which is how he looks (6’4 1/2” range). He looks 6’6” in a thick shoe with an orthotic perhaps which is normal Olympic measurement is above
Also why would Dan majerle call him 6’4”? Twice now and Moses Malone did and other teammates have

I'm sorry, but Barkley has claimed a few times just under 6'5, been measured at that mark, yet the average guess still guesses him as just over 6'5? What a joke.

6'4 and 3/4 is fine for Barkley, he did look really tall in that infamous photo with the rock, my only guess could be that the rock had either been awake longer or worked himself more that day, as I don't see him under 6'2 or even 6'2flat, not yet at least.
Given that we can only guess in 1/8ths, I'll go with 5/8 rather than 7/8 for Barkley. Taller than Michael Jordan and Lennox Lewis imo.

How can Usain Bolt and Charles be listed so close in height when Charles is clearly taller by as much as 1.5 or more inches??

@Vneo: that was what he was initially listed and it would be good listing for him since it could constitute lunchtime being 6’4 5/8 could be his afternoon peak and that’s (6’4 3/4) a height he’s claimed

He measured 6’4 5/8” at the Olympics and most other nba players pegged him as 6’4” or 6’4/6’5”. He’s no taller than listed next to 6’8-6’8.5 Rick Mahorn. Mahorn admitted such below. Rob has Barkley overlisted here. Since he’s gonna use claims or Olympic measurements he should be consistent and use 6’4 1/2, 6’4 5/8 or 6’4.75”. He’s never been measured as high as 6’4 7/8”. That’s a typo.

Barkley should get what he was listed at the Olympics 6’4 5/8” peak height
He’s also shorter than cam newton by close to an inch likely due to height loss in their video together and he’s a few inches shorter than Clark Kellogg. I think it’s his footwear that makes him appear taller because on the court when he played he looked no more than 6’4 1/2” like he claimed

Charles with 6’7” Nirvana band member
For the most part, Charles can always look 6’5 because of his terrible posture, but when he was thin in the early 90s, he was all of 6’6”. He has always battled weight issues. His head has that strange peak to it.
I am well aware what he and others have stated about his height. His accomplishments seem more impressive if he is shorter. Rebounding especially.

I think a peak and current should be given. If Rob thinks 6’4.5 is too low although he claimed it and looked it, give him 6’4 5/8 since he did measure that or 6’4.75 since he claimed it 6’4.75 may be his lunchtime if 6’4 5/8 was his low. However a lot of players said he was 6’4 or 6’4/6’5”. Someone that size is more likely in the middle of the range versus the top of it. Today Barkley is max 6’4.25 if not lower. Cam newton clearly had close to an inch even accounting for the hat. 6’4 7/8 is ridiculous being he never measured this

barkley is one of those guys that i think nobody would guess shorter than 6´5 if they meet him. The measurement that he is listed at must come from somewhere but it like mochael jordan, it seems like the shortest possible height he could be. If i would go by how he looks beside other people then i would actually think he was almost 197. Beside larry devit ( i think thats his name, the armwrestler) he did look easily taller and larry is listed at 194 and could be 195 in reality. Also beside the guy that played the bad guy in creed ( 192) he was mutch taller. He made hugh jackman look short. I think i give him 196 even if he got measured at this because i just cant see him shorter than that. His 6´4 claims in recent years is just insane.

Hey guys,
let's get at least one thing straight. Michael Jordan is, looking at pictures of comparison, not taller than Barkley. If we take material before Barkley had first injuries there is no way to decline Michael was taller. Also had Barkley higher shoulders than Michael.
I would thereafter not give Barkley (prime) less than 195,5 cm.

@Сanson, Barkley probably was 6'4 1/2, as he was described: ''He attended Leeds High School. As a junior, Barkley stood 5 ft 10 in (1.78 m) and weighed 220 pounds (100 kg). He failed to make the varsity team and was named as a reserve. However, during the summer Barkley grew to 6 ft 4 in (1.93 m) and earned a starting position on the varsity as a senior.''
Although what's going on with this pic? Barkley looks the same height as listed 6'8 Dennis Scott Click Here=

In the picture you attached, accounting for Finely tilting his head up, he is not over 1” taller than Barkley. And that’s stretching it a little imo. Rob has it down. 6’4” 7/8ths is accurate.
Finley has over an inch on Barkley or at least 1”. Finley May be 6’5 1/2”. No guarantee 6’5.75 was his low. Barkley measured 6’4 5/8” at the Olympics so he’s not taller than that. Question is was that his low?

Finley is also taller than Wesley Person #11 and Person is taller than Barkley. I’m not buying the 6’4 7/8 as being accurate. I think they meant he was officially measured 6’4 5/8”. Barkley was referred to as 6’4” by a lot of players so there is some merit to him maybe being 6’4.5

@Wingspanpro: Finley was measured 6’5.75”. Not sure if
That’s his low but I doubt less than 6’5.5”. But he’s Not 6’6”. Barkley measured 6’4 5/8 in his prime. Finley is at least a full inch taller than Barkley. Barkley is shorter than Wes Person who was listed 6’6 but probably wasn’t more than 6’5. That looks as much as 1.5” between Finley and Barkley. Rob has Barkley over listed.

@Wingspanpro: Finley was measured 6’5.75”. Not sure if
That’s his low but I doubt less than 6’5.5”. But he’s Not 6’6”. Barkley measured 6’4 5/8 in his prime. Finley is at least a full inch taller than Barkley.

@Christian: I agree. But I would’ve def said he was 6’4 in his peak before the listed height here. Then again maybe the listed height is an lunchtime if he really lost a full inch in his prime and lost slowly and only got down to 6’4 5/8”. But My guess is if that were the case that he would be 6’4 3/8 at his low and would wake up 6’5 3/8”. My guess is 6’4.5 May have been his normal low and maybe he lost 3/4 or 7/8”

Barkley wasn't under 6'4.5" at his peak unless if it was an extreme low I believe. 6'4" flat could be his current height now after losing some.

@184guy: he was def a bit over 6’4 peak. He was no less than maybe 194 cm at his low at worst. And I only go that low because he could’ve been a guy that lost a full inch in a day or near it being he was over 270 lbs at different points in his career. But Rob has him listed too high. That was never an official measurement on paper. The 6’4 5/8 was. He has claimed 6’4 6’4 1/2 6’4 3/4”. I think 6’4 5/8 should be what he’s listed. Rob only lists him that high because nobody believes he was the height he actually was at his peak. He likely wore altered footwear at times

@Burgos21: the pic with Majerle is misleading. Barkley is not as tall as he is. I’ve seen others where Majerle is taller. I have Majerle at 6’5.5 which adds up as Barkley is 1” shorter. With Ainge, Barkley is closer to the camera. Ainge is on record saying Barkley and he are the same height and then another time that Barkley is at most half inch taller and that he’s 6’4 Barkley 6’4 1/2. Barkley looked over 3” shorter than 6’8” Karl Malone in the Dream Team HOF and was shorter than 6’4 7/8 listed cam newton by a good amount. He was peak 6’4 5/8 max

Here he is with Spencer Haywood who was somewhere at or slightly below 6’7”. This was in 2015. He wasn’t much over 6’4 then either. Barkley was never 6’4 7/8” at a normal low. He was no taller than he was measured at the 92 Olympics (6’4 5/8) and that may not have even been his afternoon height. Bill Belichick has met him as he was in the Patriots locker room before next to Brady and Willie McGinest. Belichick called him 6’4”. Likely in his prime was no more than 6’4 1/2 range like he measured.

@Vincent: he for sure needs a downgrade. He needs both. At best 6’4.75 for his peak since he also claimed it and 6’4.25 today could be a start. If you saw games in the 80s with him and even the 90s he looked tiny on the court. I’d have bought that he was 6’4” seeing him on the court to be honest

I think peak height 6’4 5/8 since he measured it and current maybe 6’4 1/4”. These would be around lunchtime imho. Afternoon 6’4 1/2” and 6’4 1/8”. He’s probably lost about a centimeter at most

It’s funny that I’ve been saying Barkley was around 6’4 1/2” peak since October 2015 when I began posting. 6’4 5/8 isn’t really any different from 6’4.5”. That’s the max he was at a low. At least if Rob listed him 6’4.75, it could be near his lunchtime height but to be fair, being he used Kobe’s measurement outside of the NBA and Jordan’s Olympic measurement, he should also use Barkley’s 6’4 5/8 since it was a legit measurement. And it wouldn’t surprise me if that’s not even his afternoon height at his peak. He could easily have been a guy that, at 260-275 at points in his career, lost a full inch or 7/8”. He could’ve been 6’5 3/8 upon waking and 6’4 3/8 at his normal low. There’s a reason why people guessed him 6’4 range all the time and many said just 6’4 not 6’4 1/2”.

@ viper: he was never a flat 6’5” let alone over it. People I know who’ve actually stood next to him said he was 6’4/6’5 range peak. These are people who can tell the difference being 6’2 and 6’3”. He would measure 6’4 7/8 but not at the same time of day you or I measure 6’3 or 6’4.25”. And he has an official measurement of 6’4 5/8”. I don’t get why that’s ignored and I don’t get the excuses made with the 6’4 5/8 measurement. It’s “not valid”. But if someone wanted someone to be taller, they would use the higher measurement. So let’s flip this. What if Barkley had a combine measurement of 6’4 5/8 but the Olympic measurement if 6’5 1/2? They’d say “oh well he must have grown”. All of this nonsense about it not being “official” would go right out the window. When there is a will there is a way. I remember a celeb on this page (years ago back in 2015) said they would make Barkley 197 cm “then we won’t have to downgrade anyone”. I guess downgrading is seen as disrespectful or it’s too much like work 🤦♂️

@Editor Rob: no what I said was that he hasn’t lost an inch. I think a peak Barkley was 6’4 5/8 max as he measured and is a bit shorter today. That was the point I was making. And if he is 6’4 flat today which is possible, Cam wouldn’t have an inch on him. Cam only measured 6’5 at the combine. I could see Cam at an afternoon low at 6’4.75”. But maybe he gained some height. I’ve always had Cam at 6’4.75”. And I can definitely see at least 2 cm there but I doubt Barkley has gone from 6’4 7/8 to 6’4”. More like 6’4 5/8 to 6’4”. To be consistent since you tend to use lunchtime heights, maybe he should be listed 6’4.75 at his peak height but since you also use barefoot measurements or official measurements, he should be listed 6’4 5/8” since that’s, in fact, what he measured in 1992. That does look like a full inch in the video but we can’t see footwear

@Ice Cold: I believe the measurement in his prime. Says he measured at the Olympics in 1992. They have Jordan at 6’4.75 at the time in 1992 at the Olympics which I believe but was it an afternoon measurement is the question? Not sure if it was afternoon for Barkley though but it could’ve been. He looked around 6’4.5 peak imho (6’4 3/8-5/8) but today could just be 6’4”. He could pull off looking 6’5 at times though so I’d lean more toward 6’4.5 plus. Barkley has usually claimed that 6’4.75” was his measurement but 6’4.5 as well. I don’t believe the 6’4 7/8 measurement though because the NBA doesn’t measure to the 1/8”. They go to the 1/4,1/2, full. Had they said 6’4.75 I’d believe it though

I've seen almost all the comments section on this page. Barkley's height is been fluctuating. But just looking at Barkley in basketball form and he is looking pretty average height. Like 6'4. In resent photos with Carmelo Anthony Barkley looks 6'4
Claims of 6'4 5/8 are more like rumors than actual measurements. I mean, there's no article detailing this

@Ice Cold: to be fair, he was heavy in his prime too so he could’ve been a guy that either lost the full inch throughout the day or 7/8” as opposed to other 6’4-6’5 range guys like me who only lose 3/4”. I wake to 6’5 or a tiny hair over and am 6’4.25 at my afternoon whereas he may have been 6’5 1/2 out of bed and 6’4 1/2” or even 1/8” lower. My guess 6’5 1/4-1/2 out of bed and 6’4 1/2 at his low in his prime or even 6’4 5/8” like measured which may mean just 3/4”

@Ice Cold: says it at the top of the page and he’s claimed 6’4 1/2 and 3/4 before along with his teammates Moses Malone, Danny Ainge, Dan Majerle and others saying he’s 6’4 or 6’4.5”. The pics with Gabby Reece have Barkley at a significant camera advantage. Rob himself commented on the Olympic Team’s HOF induction and said Barkley looks 6’4.5-6’5 range with Karl Malone. My guess is 6’4 1/2 or 6’4 5/8 is the adequate measurement.
It was in the run-up to the 1992 Olympics that the world finally learned what the cognoscenti had long suspected -- that Charles Barkley was more like 6-4 5/8 than 6-6, and Magic Johnson closer to 6-7 than 6-9.

@Christian and Editor Rob: I’d at most go with 6’4.75 peak height like Rob originally listed him since he has the 6’4 5/8 measurement. 6’4.75 could be his height around lunchtime and 6’4 5/8 his afternoon/evening. Remember he could’ve lost a bit more due to his heavy weight when he played so maybe that explains why he looked closer to 6’4 if he dipped to 6’4 3/8 which I don’t rule out. Rob said himself that it looked 3-3.5” between he and Malone at the 92 Dream Team induction. I don’t believe the 6’4 7/8 measurement is actually valid although he easily would measure it in his prime earlier in the day. 6’4.5-6’5 range suggests more 6’4.5-6’5” as Rob said with Joe Mangianello. But to be fair, Rob used Kobe’s measurement and Jordan’s Olympic measurement so not seeing why he didn’t use Barkley’s 6’4 5/8” for his listing. And I don’t think the commercial was as surprising as it seems because Barkley looked a lot shorter than Clark Kellogg who was 6’7” range peak height. Many pics and videos with Barkley had bad angles so they made him look taller. He looked taller than Majerle in one where they stood right next to each other when in reality Majerle was taller than Barkley as he admitted on Dan Patrick’s show. I have Majerle as 6’5 1/2” tops in his prime

Which is a bit surprising. I've thought Magic as being closer to 6'7" than 6'7.5", even at his peak. The commercial speaks volumes about Barkley's current height.

@Editor Rob: Remember you also said that Barkley looked 3-3.5 inches shorter than Karl Malone in the Olympic video? He’s over listed here. The 6’4.75 you had him before May be a lunchtime measurement that easily lines up with 6’4 5/8 that he measured at the Olympics. The latter could be his afternoon/evening which is why he got all the way down to 6’4 1/2” or lower at times being a heavier guy or at least pulled off looking that if it’s 1/8” away. 6’4 7/8 is likely not even valid being there is no credible source. 6’4 5/8 is and he had claimed 6’4.5 snd .75 many times now. The 6’4 7/8 appears to be made up or mistaken. Also looking 6’4.5-6’5 next to Karl Malone would mean 6’4 5/8 or .75 more so than 6’4 7/8”.

@Editor Rob: it was about that in their primes but I believe it’s possible Barkley has lost some. Meaning 1cm tops perhaps. He was never as tall as you list him here though since he only measured 6’4 5/8”. Magic could also have lost height being he’s 4 years older.

@Editor Rob: if you see the latest commercial with Magic Johnson that was released this week, Magic is at least 3” taller than him.
@MrIsaac: he measured 6’4 5/8 in his prime so how is he at least 6’5?

Hi Rob,
I think sir Charles may need a peak and a current.
Peak: 6’5 1/4”
Current: 6’4 3/4”
He carried 250+ pounds for many years so it’s possible he may have lost an inch at age 58.

I saw a shot of Kenny standing side by side and he’s only around 3” taller now. Peak height could be argued at 6’4 5/8 since he measured that at the Olympics whether afternoon or lunch it’s close enough to. Today he looks maybe 6’4.25” or so

Barkley has a 6’4 5/8 on record but not seeing 7/8”. Jordan had a 6’4.5, 6’4.75, a 6’4 7/8 on record however while Barkley had 6’4 5/8”. Barkley has claimed everything. He claimed 6’5/6’6 in shoes, 6’6, 6’5, 6’4 3/4, 6’4 1/2 and 6’5 1/2 and 6’5 1/4 in shoes. Most consistently 6’4 3/4” however

@Canson Facts. I’m 6 ft 5/8 at a low and extreme low I’ve measured right on 6’0.5”. If I have a long day on my feet then hit the gym and have leg day, I will measure 6’0.5” but haven’t measured under that. I agree that Barkley is same case just 4 inches taller haha. 6’5.25” out of bed and 6’4.5 to 6’4 5/8 at a low with a good weight.

@Jawilder: yea Barkley also had points where he was closer to 300 lbs which may have influenced how much height he lost throughout the day. He may have come all the way down to 6’4 1/4 or 6’4 3/8” whereas if he weighed 20-40 lbs less he may have retained 6’4 5/8” at his normal low or 6’4.5”. I have a feeling he would be 6’5.25 out of bed peak and 6’4.5” afternoon or 1/8” taller under normal conditions. But 6’4 5/8 and 6’4 1/2” are basically the same. If someone’s normal low is 5/8” they can easily see 1/2” at an extreme low. If that were me I’d claim 6’4 1/2” still even if I’m 6’4 5/8” at s normal low especially when I hit the gym since I could come down that extra 1/8” those days if I do that and stand just sn hour or so. I have days now where I go to the gym later in the day and go out at night and stand just a shorter period of time and I’m 6’4 1/8 vs 6’4 1/4”.

@Editor Rob: after watching it again, that’s closer to 4” with Malone. Maybe it’s the angle but he’s certainly not 6’4 7/8”. The 6’4 5/8 is believable maybe at lunch and maybe he’s 6’4.5. Watch in the very beginning and he’s up around Malone’s eyebrows

@Editor Rob: that’s where I would have him precisely 6’4.5 or 6’4 5/8”. But you had him listed at 6’4.75 before which adds up to a lunchtime listing if he measured 6’4 5/8 a different time and they could be his afternoon. Also possible he could’ve dipped to 6’4.5” at his low in the afternoon. I think 6’4.75 is more adequate being he at least claimed it several times and being he has the 6’4 5/8” measurement on record

@Editor Rob: here is the video of the 92 Dream Team’s induction into the HOF. You will see Barkley standing in front of Karl Malone at one stage in the beginning of the video. This is for a good few seconds. This was in 2010. Barkley is over 3” shorter. His Dream Team measurement of 6’4 5/8” lines up in front of him. Honestly I would buy 6’4 1/2” next to Malone or Magic. I’m not seeing a 6’4 7/8 measurement being on record. He’s never even mentioned it. He’s actually claimed 6’5 1/2”, 6’5, 6’4.75, 6’4 1/2, and 6’4 and had the 6’4 5/8 on record. Then he claimed 6’4.75” a handful of times such as in the article below and the video with Chick Hearn along with the video someone posted previously about Conan then 6’4 1/2” in the all star slam dunk video

Danny Ainge who was a GM and had to scout players at a point was also a former teammate of Barkley’s. Ainge says himself around :50 seconds that Jason Richardson wasn’t 6’6 but that he was only about 6’4” and that he was Charles’s size. Barkley commented that he was 6’4 1/2”

well that's totally possible, it's a tiny fraction that we're talking here, and he claims to be 6'4 3/4 or weak 6'5, but that could also the margin of all the measurements he did, so give or take from that statement, i think 5/8 or 7/8 is possible from all the photos of Charles with other celebs, those who believe he's closer to 6'4.5 than 6'5 has their strong argument, and vice versa. so if i could gave a personal though on this, i would say he;s closer to 6'5 than 6'4 in general, the mark would be equal or a bit higher than 6'4 3/4 (i'm leaning toward the 6'4 7/8 measurements), it's all about ranges, tho i think he can look 1/2 inch shorter because of the slouch, i don't think he's a 6'5'er either
Yeah, Conan now falls down from weak 6'4 at his peak into 6'3.5 range now, but still, he's leaning his head yet look 1 inch shorter max than Charles (the hair make pointing the top of his head more difficult, but let's assume it's 1 inch difference), so imo Conan maybe could measured a bit above 6'3.5, maybe even still a weak 6'4, idk, this guy's height is kinda strange

He could measure it earlier in the day but I believe it’s a typo because he claimed 6’4.75 and measured 6’4 5/8. Typo meaning it’s not a measurement on record. He did factually measure 6’4 5:8 at the Olympics. But he claims 6’4 3/4 here and Hearn knew he was under 6’5. I think he lost more height due to his weight. Maybe he loses close to a full inch during the day and was a guy who woke to 6’5 3/8 and dipped to 6’4.5. Moses Malone and Dan majerle and Danny ainge and Joe Klein called him 6’4 and 6’4 1/2. As for Conan I never had him at 6’4. Maybe a peak 6’3.5-.75 but 6’3.5 range looks best

@Berta: he has the ability to make people look shorter. But so does Kobe. We can’t ignore the 6’4 5/8 measurement and it’s not all that far off 6’5 so I suspect it’s his footwear. Maybe padding on the inside (orthotics)

beside dwwayen johnson and others it really is hard to believe he is under 6´5 but maybe but if i would have to bet money on how tall he was then i would have guessed 196-197. I think 196 is good.

i always had my suspecions about sir charles,s height before visitng the site but after checking pics again next to 6ft5 guys and above he always looked shorter and he and MJ usually looked the same height therefore if one is taler between the 2 its barkley although by a hair as he had a 6ft4 5/8 (194.6) measurement while jordan had a 6ft4 1/2(194.3) measurement also he seemed to have an extra footwear in the late years that makes him look in the 197-198 range when he is probably not even that in normal shoes.194.3-194.6 peak, 193.6-194 nowdays.

He is 6’4.5” but the nba inflation has fooled people into thinking he is taller per usual
His footwear always looks sus as well.

This pic isn’t the best but here he is with Danny Ainge. Ainge has said that they’re the same height before at 6’4 1/2” then once called Barkley out and told him that he wasn’t 6’6 and that him standing at 6’4, Barkley was only about 1/2” taller than him. That lines up with Barkley’s Olympic Measurement 6’4 5/8”

the listing is just right, but the problem is, jordan and kobe is always taller than him, then why did they got lower listing?
Because this listing is not right. He only measured 6’4 5/8 in 1992. I don’t get why Rob used Jordan’s Olympic measurement for his listing but not Barkley’s

IMO Jordan and Barkley were very similar height but at times on the court Jordan could look a little smidge taller, maybe a cm, but I think Charles tended to have the looser posture.

FIBA does. If anything the previous listing was more adequate 6’4.75 if you feel 6’4 5/8 is too low but the more it looks from what people say he was closer to 6’4 1/2”

@Fried Chicken: depends on when the combine is held. Some guys measure at 6am others 3pm. I’m sure some of the ones in the afternoon lay around. And Barkley never measured that Mark. He said himself “about 6’4 3/4” and that was in the 80s. So that could even mean 6’4 5/8”. Keep in mind that Hearn was around 6’3 so he was able to tell Barkley wasn’t 6’6 or even 6’5”

I briefly ran into him after a game back in the late 90s and he's a solid 6'5", not more than that, not less than that. He's taller than people think. This 6'4" stuff is just to throw people off from his playing days. He's a massive individual, basically an NFL tight end playing basketball.

Right between :09-:11 he’s right next to Kellogg and dwarfed. That looks like 3.5 or 4” at times. Barkley’s listing is off. Kellogg was 6’7 listed so maybe he was a bit over but Barkley at his peak was max a weak 6’5” or a 6’4.5 guy. He’s not a 6’5 guy (6’4 7/8) like listed here

Barkley and 6’7.75 measured Calais Campbell. Campbell is not that tall at his afternoon height. Combines are held early in the day. Barkley is not 6’4 7/8” next to him. We could argue his peak height 6’4 5/8 or 6’4.5-.75 range but today he’s about 1/4” shorter

@Canson looking back, those Knicks teams were one of many teams in that Era that had tons of height inflation . Most did. Ewing, Starks, Mason, Oakley etc. Compared to the average of listings of last 2 seasons in NBA, I would say the average listing was .75 to a full inch higher above actual barefoot heights then as compared to now. Perhaps over an inch more.

@Canson Mullin was usually listed 6'7". I think late early 90s to like 2000 had the most height inflation in nba history, when shoe heights became common but those heights were not yet being scrutinized. Seems like almost everyone was listed 1.5 to 2.5 and sometimes near 3 inches above afternoon barefoot height.

@Editor Rob: if it comes out on YouTube this weekend, view the Inside Story: Kenny Smith: The Role Player. It was on Inside the NBA on TNT tonight. There are good shots of Barkley in the video and it’s obvious when he got on the scale that he was a lot smaller outside of some of the shoes he wears. Then he had a couple good shots with Ernie and Magic Johnson and it did look like a pretty decent (3” difference) with Magic in the last two of them. In the first it wasn’t great but physically Magic was still much taller. This was Barkley years ago as Magic was on TNT back In the early to mid 2000s. He wouldn’t have been out of his peak height by much when Magic was on the show. I vaguely remember Magic there around 2004. That pretty much seals it that he was around 6’4.5” or at best his Olympic height of 6’4 5/8”. His footwear choices may have been why he’s looked taller.

On almost all the TNT shows he appears to be a tall figure standing next to 7'-7'1 Shaq. Definitely 6'4 guy, 6'5 sounds more possible, probably even closer to 6'6.

You were right on the first figure. In retirement Barkley is definitely around 330lbs (150 kg). In his prime he was 250lbs (113 kg) with probably 15-16% body fat. He is 30% body fat today, I'd say. If he has the exact same lean mass as he did when was a player (which he doesn't, of course), and we assume the above figures are and correct, and we further assume that he is now 32% body fat (might be low), then he weighs 311 lbs (141 kg) now. I think that might be low. Even if you don't work out, when you gain weight, around 25% of the weight will be lean mass (muscle mass etc.) With a guy like Barkley it might be a bit higher rate, since he's probably got above-average muscle-building genetics. So 330lbs might be quite reasonable for present day Charles Barkley; I know he's been considerably heavier than that.

Hey,
Sorry, my mistake, I meant that Barkley is close to 120Kgs not the 150Kgs.
Hard to really judge who's the tallest (imo, Larratt), however, the main issue is how deceptive different views of the same object, can be.

Larratt IS taller than Barkley but this guy is a huuuge fellow and when the angles are not in the "right" position, it's like he is much taller than anyone with similar height, same goes with "The Rock", whom IMO, can't be lesser than 6'4".

Webber, I think, is a legit 6'9 (or at least within a fraction of it), if you see him next to Shaq, Garnett, and Duncan. Chuck is, by the way, also standing with poor posture in that photo. If anything, that photo tells me Barkley is not below 6'5.
That photo with Magic is also highly unrepresentative of their actual height difference. I don't know why you would post that - it's a terrible picture for judging height (Magic is standing a lot closer to the camera and stretching himself, whereas Barkley is standing with quite relaxed posture and seemingly standing on mostly one leg).
This picture is better, I think: Click Here
Now, Barkley is a bit closer to the camera, but Magic again has a bit better posture. Barkley does not look below 6'5 here. Barkley generally stands quite well with Magic. If Magic truly is 6'7½, there is no way that Barkley is in the 6'4½ range. He has to be about 6'5.
Even though the difference between them is very small, I also think it makes sense that Barkley was/is taller than Jordan; he does appear ever so slightly taller than Jordan, if you peruse through enough photos of them with different people.
Maybe Barkley is 6'4⅞ at night; there is really no way to tell. In general he comes across as a 6'5 guy - sometimes a little shorter but certainly also taller occasionally.
Only problem is that Mo Cheeks called Webber 6’8/6’9” when he was with the Sixers and Webber at a solid 6’9” isn’t possible with Jalen Rose or Peja Stojakovic. He doesn’t have 3” on Rose. Barkley measured 6’4 5/8 in 1992 which he looked more often than not on the court. A lot of players including Mo Cheeks when he played with him in Philly also said he’s 6’4/6’5”. And if you see Webber with 6’9.75 Rasheed Wallace (assuming that’s his afternoon height) he has Webber by at least an inch. Then there was an interview with Kevin Garnett at All Star weekend once where he was a good 2-3” shorter than Garnett

@Editor Rob: more than just a few times. That’s the only height I’ve ever heard him claim. He did it again once when he called Michael Jordan 6’6 and that he was a lot bigger than him and that he was only 6’2”. Then on NBA inside stuff back in 1997 I believe, he said he’s listed 6’5 but is really only 6’2”. The latter is the first time I ever heard him claim 6’2” and it was on the show with Ahmad Rashad. I wouldn’t be surprised if he were a tad bit under the mark with joe he stood with Larry Johnson. Larry Johnson I doubt is the full 6’5.5 like Ralf Moeller was in his prime but I could buy a weak half. This is more so when you take into account Anthony Mason was described as 6’5 in one of the links. I doubt Mason was only 6’5” but I could see a 197cm range guy next to a guy who’s (maybe 6’5) like JR Smith

Sorry guy I do not agree. I am fine with your belief of Charles height it's only an inch different from mine. I believe he peaked at 6'6". You don't buy that which is fine. Most of Rob's estimates I agree with this one I don't. I am fully aware Charles himself says he is in the 6'4" to 6'5" range. Conan often tilts his head. He does with Draymond and Charles.
It seems you take this very seriously. I don't. It is just a comment page on someone's height, not the most important thing in the world.
Taking seriously? All I did was respond to your post. As far as tilting his head with them, that isn’t going to make the difference as he looks sub 6’4 with Gronkowski as well. As for Barkley, I’m not seeing how he is taller than he measured in 1992

@Viper: here is Barkley with 6’8 (max) Karl Malone. Malone claimed that height as well. He doesn’t even look 6’5 next to him. Looks around his measured height of 6’4 5/8 or 6’4 1/2”. Then you see Penny Reggie Miller and Scottie Pippen. Penny tilting his head has an exaggerated difference with Miller. In reality, they’re around 198 (Penny), 197 (Miller) and maybe 200 (Pippen).

I am not sure how accurate those pics were to say if Charles is taller than Peyton but it does support Charles still being between 6'5 and 6'6. I honestly believe he was at peak height(6'6") in early 90's when he was at his leanest.

How is conan Strong 6'4" when Liam Neeson was taller than him. What is Neeson? 6'5? Imo i find that very hard to believe. The general consensus for Conan is that he's 6'3 1/2. He's taller than legit 6'3" guys but when he's compared to people who are actually 6'4" like Hasselhoff he comes out shorter.
Also hard to believe Barkley is over 6'5" when all of his recorded measurements were below that mark.
@Fried Chicken: well said! Also where was it “agreed upon”? If I look closely you have people on Rock’s page guessing Rock under 6’2”. While I don’t believe he actually is (I think he’s a solid 6’2 still), it’s obviously tilted in Barkley’s favor or Rock isn’t standing straight being I have a friend who’s met both guys and said Barkley in the 2000s and 90s (I believe) was max 1.5” taller than him and he was 6’3 peak (6’2.75 today). He said Rock looked 6’2 a few years ago when he met him. Not to mention Conan’s page. Nothing is agreed upon. Like I said earlier you can’t take certain things seriously when Barkley was actually measured multiple times barefoot and Conan never was. If anything I don’t believe Conan’s simply because he never looks 6’4” imho. Neeson, Hasselhoff, Kobe, etc. he looked max 192 with them.

The strange thing is that both Charles Barkley and Michael Jordan are listed as around 195 cm here on CelebHeights but Jordan has at least a half inch on Barkley. So I would say that Jordan stands 6'5" while Barkley is a strong 6'4" guy.

As Barkley claimed himself 6'4.75 maybe it's fair to give him that?Since Jordan was listed at 6'4.75,we don't know exactly what's the true mark Barkley was measured at.Is it 6'4 5/8 or is it 6'4 3/4 or 6'4 7/8?The middle mark is a good compromise.In fact I'm not sure they measured people to the 1/8".Too bad that journalist didn't show all the measurements

Barkley is. That is so bad of a listing it is pretty much comical.

I think Barkley should be downgraded to 6'4 3/4 or 6'4 5/8 peak because of the Michael Jordan downgrade.

@Editor Rob: what was Barkley stored at in the 1992 database? Likely 6’4 5/8?

Editor RobUnknown...the journalist in his article had looked up Jordan on the Olympic database and seen 6ft 4 3/4 and reported it as such. It's hard to argue with giving Jordan that mark.
Arguably the 3 GOAT's were all within a small fraction, Barkley, Kobe and Jordan.
