I saw his "mugshot" picture, and he is at 6'8" exactly. Of course, that has to be with shoes on, but that would likely be 1"or2" at most. I think Barkley is a 6'6" barefoot...at the very least 6'5.5"
Lebensdorf says on 15/Jan/12
He really can't be only 6'4'', more like a very strong 6'5''. Some guys on SNL are around 6'2'' and he towered over them by a lot (Bill Hader and Jason Sudeikis). Johhny says on 13/Jan/12
Charles Barkley is around 6 feet 6 inches and for the proof see his mugshot here is the pic Click Here and for celebrities mugshots see the link Click Here LAN Jiao says on 22/Oct/11
T, if barkley 6'6.5 how tall you think jordan and kobe were? Lol.. don trust mugshot. Cos you cant see whats down his feet. Mc79 says on 22/Oct/11
In 1993, Charles appeared to be 4.5" shorter than Mark West, and about the same difference taller than Sacramento mayor Kevin Johnson. So if KJ is 6'1" and West is 6'10", then Charles is roughly 6'5.5". Nothing wrong with that, I've been listed at 6'2" since 97-98 but I'm really about 6'1.5". mask says on 14/Oct/11

How can he just under 6'5"? His mug shot has him at 6'8", and he certsinly does not wear lifts. I would peg him at least 6'6.5" LAN Jiao says on 1/Oct/11
counting out the lowest for Charles Barkley at evening 193.5cm ,
morning out of bed 196 - 196.5cm. consider he is 6'4.5 LAN Jiao says on 30/Sep/11
brakley,jordan and kobe shares about the height measure barefoot by nba. but count to the exact tallest to short they hover in a day i"ll give:
jordan - 195 down 193.8
kobe - 195 down 193.7
barkley - 195 down 193.5 HeightExpert says on 10/Sep/11
he is about 6'4-6'5, 6'6 is a meanless ESTIMATE, might be 6'3 nowadays Terryman says on 15/Aug/11
he's either dead on 1,95 meters or dead on 1,97meters I'm realy indecisive on this one nothing inbetween or over that though! Truth says on 21/Jul/11
why does everybody bash barkley for his height because he was an under size PF??? thats not good enough for me, because jordan isnt 6'6, kobe isnt 6'6 none of these cats are there listed height...in the real world 95% of america lies about there height shot but barkley i guess always has to get picked on he was one of the greatest players and rebounders, come on guys barkley may be 6'4 be kobe and jordan are right around there with them...the nba lie on draft day as well i as sat at a table in columbus ohio with michael redd from the bucks and that dude is like my height im 6'3 1/2 this dude is listed in the nba as 6'6...WOW!!! im done LOL Cranberries (18m, 192cm dinnertime) says on 2/Jul/11
"During his college career, Barkley played the center position, despite being shorter than the average center. His height, officially listed as 6 ft 6 in (1.98 m), is stated as 6 ft 4 in (1.93 m) in his book, I May Be Wrong but I Doubt It."
He's not considerably over 6'4", now anyway. The pic with Kodjoe proves it; Kodjoe is listed as 6'2-6'3.5". On the 'DB, he's listed as 6'2.5".
Charles Barkley: 6'4", perhaps 6'5" peak, and very big. Size 16 shoe; much larger than a footlong Subway sandwich :P. Sully says on 8/Jun/11
Dude you are overestimating. Kenny Smith is like 5-11 MAX.
and since there are around 5 inches between the two of them in that pic, Chuck is only 6-4. But in his case, he seems like one of those 6-6 guys that looks 6-2.
I have no proof that Barkley is 6-2, but it sounds right to me, so im going to run with it.
All jokes aside, Kenny Smith is either the same height as D Rose or a little taller. D Rose is listed at 6-3 but is around 6-1.5 barefoot iirc. Viper says on 7/Jun/11
Kenny Smith is 6-1 Max. May even be under it. Vegas says on 7/Jun/11

kenny smith is not 6'3. he actually claimed 6'2 in the past and i am not even sure about him being that tall. Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 6/Jun/11

ALL other pictures/videos are obsolete due to the pictures posted in this forum.
I KNOW EJ is around 6'2 himself, and Kenny Smith was listed at 6'3 in his playing days. Look at the picture of all 3 of them barefoot and tell me Barkley is only 6'4 3/4.

That obiously not a same position, Magic way far off from camera and you can notice it by checking his head size: his head much smaller than Barkley. On my photo we see them from same position from camera, they heads equal in size.

You guys are so bad at height guessing, if he claims that he is 195cm, then he is probably 195cm, why he would downgrade yourself? A legit 195cm barefoot is very very tall Cranberries (6 ft. 3.25 evening, 17 years) says on 24/May/11
He might be closer to 6'6". Next to 6'8.5" Brad Garrett, he doesn't look even 2 inches shorter.
Click Here Bill says on 19/May/11
Look, Barkley is easily 6,6" because ask anyone who has ever ran into him in person and he looks taller than 6'4. A lot taller. Barkley is likely 6,6, maybe 6'5.5 at the shortest, which is why with shoes on he still looks close to 6'7.
All photos of him show 6'6 easily.
LOOK AT THE DUDE ON TNT NIGHTLY, HE AIN'T SMALL IN HEIGHT OR GIRTH PEOPLE Cranberries (6 ft. 3.25 evening) says on 15/May/11
Willie, everyone's seen that mugshot. But you only need click on the "Photos and Perspective" link to the left to understand what mugshot cameras do when they're at the same level as your chest.
Just use your common sense. Yes, Barkley looks 6'7" from the perspective of the mugshot, because the mugshot cameras are too low for him; mugshot cameras are usually at the proper height for a 5'10" man; even for a 6' tall guy, a mugshot might make you look 6'1" or taller.
E.g., in the mugshot with Plaxico Burress, the height chart shows Burress at around 6'7", when Burress is really a hair shorter than Charles Barkley. The camera also looks lower in Barkley's shot. willie lynch jr says on 12/May/11
Barkley is actually about 6'7" i have a mug shot of him when he got arrested. the proof in the picture! alrob says on 19/Apr/11
On TNT tonight (4/18/2011), in the "Ask Chuck" sequence, Chicago Bulls player Kyle Korver asked Charles how tall he is. Charles said with no joke that he is 6 feet 4.75 inches. That came from the mouth of Charles Barkley himself. Rocky says on 18/Apr/11
Ok, I just watched TNT basketball right now, in the middle of the Bulls-Pacers halftime show. Barkley says that he's 6 feet 4.75 exactly.
That sounds correct. nbaplayoffs says on 18/Apr/11
barkley just said "I'm 6-4 3/4" just said it. he might be SLIGHTLY rounding up coz he used to at least be that, but yeah Jordan seems smaller than listed. I also read that Jordan was lighter than listed at 216. LV says on 18/Apr/11
6'4 3/4" from his own mouth tonight during a playoff telecast. No reason he'd lie about being that much shorter than his billed height. Perfect assessment by this website. NONAME says on 15/Apr/11
In his book he says that he is not taller than 6'4 but look in this pic

LOL, hes not 6-6 Yep says on 31/Mar/11
He is at least 6'5 and probably more like 6'6. I'm 6'1 and ran into him at the MGM Casino in Vegas (irony) and he was at least 5-6 inches taller then me. Mathew says on 10/Mar/11
"...some thought he was too small to rebound in the pros, but Barkley, who measured 6'4¾" in his stocking feet, wasn't worried about that."

well, so we all say that NBA couldn't measure their player heights, if so, why would we watch nba game for along time ago? barkley is a solid 6'6 , we all knew he's big mouth,when he said his height 6'4,5, he just want to tell his rebound ability truly amazing. i'm 6'5, i met him at exhibizion show and stood beside him, he's a little bit taller than me.
he is a solid 6'6, no doubt kingpindom says on 15/Feb/11

@ Mathew.
I appreciate your opinion and feedback. Thanks for that !
Riley said Jordan was 6'4.5, it has not been an official measurement. Riley is known to want to be the number one. Where Phil Jackson or Chuck Daley give overwhelming credits to their players, Riley believes he is the main reason for success. Assuming that Jordan is 6'4.75, let's say Riley would claim 6'4.5 and Jackson would make him over 6'5...
Furtermore, Jordan earned in his haydays nearly 40 million on Nike commercials, of which Riley (at the rivals Knicks at the time) said it was more like 20. Nike admitted it was the higher number. This is to illustrate.
Myself I never met Jordan, unfortunately. The only data I know about Jordan's height is his official listing at 6'6, presumably with shoes. Without shoes that is likely to be 6'5, for basketball shoes do not add more than 1 inch. Also, photos at his website with Tom Selleck or basketball players to me show Jordan is at least 6'5. Same for Bryant.
Barkley was big when I met him, bigger than I thought to be honest. Mathew says on 13/Feb/11
I don't get why Riley's ego means he's lying about Jordan being measured at 6'4.5". All Black says on 11/Feb/11
@Mathew
Riley is a not an anomynous source, true. But he is not the best liked guy in NBA history and known to talk down big stars. Jordan on several occassions said Riley has a big ego. Shaquille O'Neal openly disliked the man. Check after 6 minutes:
Click Here
(this is a reference to his time at Miami Heat where Riley gave him little playtime to show who was the boss.)
If Riley says Jordan is 6,4.5, you bet Riley is rounding down.
And Lebron James is officially listed as 6'7.25 without shoes. Mathew says on 10/Feb/11
Anonymous says on 6/Feb/11
So Charles, Michael and Kobe are all around 6'4 because Pat Riley says Michael is ? I am sure you can find quotes somewhere stating all three are 6'2 max...
That's a terrible argument. Pat Riley is a pretty good source, he's not some anonymous dude on celebheights claiming 'oh yeah I met MJ, he's 6'2"." Riley said that Jordan was measured at 6'4.5", that's in writing. You can believe the NBA fairy tail of 6'7" Kobe Bryant and 6'9" Lebron if you want. All Black says on 7/Feb/11
@ Anonymous 6/Feb/11 and Thereel
I agree with both.
Barkley was indeed a bit taller than I was when I stood side by side. I was measured last weekend and still a solid 6'5. I never met Bryant nor Jordan, but I can easily accept Jorden being 6'5 and Bryant slightly taller. For any of them three, 6'4 for me is not realistic. Anonymous says on 6/Feb/11

For your information, Riley himself claimed to be 6'4, including ego and hair gel. To my opinion, Michael is clearly taller than Riley and around 6'5 or more like Kobe and Charles, and I expect most to agree.

Check at ~ 7.00 min to see the comparison between Jordan and Riley. (watch the whole ASG 1993, one of the best ever !) Mathew says on 1/Feb/11
I think a kind of interesting account for those who believe Barkley is 6'5.5" - 6'6" to read on Michael Jordan (who I think we can all agree is roughly the same height give or take a fraction as Barkley and Kobe).

Close call and I appreciate your feedback.
Charles could be slightly more than 1 inch taller than Conan. And there may be differences in shoes.
I can accept Conan being ~ 6'4 and Charles over 6'5. Charles was a bit taller than I (and I am a solid 6'5) Truthman 6 ft 4.5 in says on 7/Jan/11

Yeah...just saw the conan and charles video. Conan i would say is 6'3.5, and when charles walked up the stage, i dunno, did his shoes look a little bigger than conans? He was about 1-1.25 inches taller. I would say he is 6'4.75 now and was 6'5 at peak. something like that. Mathew says on 4/Jan/11
If Barkley is 6'5.5" than Conan O'Brien is 6'4.5" - 6'4.75". All Black says on 26/Dec/10
I fully agree wirh d wade.
Once I stood next to Barkley at an exhibition game. We actually wore the same shoes (but I am an amateur and useless basketball player...). I am 6'5 and he was a bit taller. d wade says on 24/Dec/10
that doesnt make sens if barkley is a weak 6,5 than peak hogan is only 6,4 . hogan was shorter next to shaq o neal and mean gene than barkley. barkley is 1,97 and hogan 1,95. Viper says on 17/Dec/10
That makes sense considering Conan is around 6-3.5. Barkley is the height hes listed on here. Mathew says on 16/Dec/10
He didn't look that much taller than Conan, I get an inch max from the video. Quite possibly, a little less. Truthman 6 ft 4.5 in says on 14/Dec/10

Here is 6'3 measured Larry Fitzgerald with Barkley. Click Here Barkley looks 6'5.
Larry Fitzgerald was measured at 6' 2 3/4". Barkley's 6' 4 5/8" at probably right, but he's got good posture and can certainly look 6'6" if he wears boots. d wade says on 2/Nov/10
if hogan is only 6,5 in his prime than andre cant be over 6,10 he has never more than 5 inches on hogan. Viper says on 2/Nov/10

viper just out of interest, do you really think that hulk hogan was over an inch taller than barkley at one time?? hogan never looked this tall in the ring, if you can find me a video of hogan having an inch more on mene gene than this you will be doing well Click Here thats 1985 for comparison Click Here

I am listening to an SI podcast and Barkley claimed to be 6'5". The radio host replied that Barkley is only 6'4". Barkley then answered that he always rounds up. I believe the listed height of 6'4.75" is accurate. Pete says on 25/Oct/10
Looking at the barefoot pic with Kenny and Ernie, I'm in agreement with the others that he is a minimum 6'5.5 barefoot and possibly even 6'6. Also, I don't believe Kenny Smith is 6'1, I'd still go with him being at the very least 6'2 barefoot as he was never a smallish guard at UNC or in the NBA. He had decent size and was a great dunker in his college days. Also, Pippen I believe is 6'7 barefoot and changed his listed height to 6'8 later in his career after he was an established shooting guard/wing. He might have worried early in his career that if he was thought of as a 6'8 guy, he would have been forced to play more down on the block, so he wanted to stay within the size range of wing's, off guards. Vegas says on 25/Oct/10
jtm, wade was measured 6'3.75 without shoes Click Here Eric says on 23/Oct/10
Not only was Charles never, and I mean never, 6'8, he was never even his NBA listed height of 6'6. Charles was 6'5 peak and around 6'4 and a half now. |
