Guys, Charles looks the same height as D Wayde in mobile phone commercial. Dwayne Wade is 6.4 ft tall. Mathew says on 22/Jun/10
A 6'8" mug shot doesn't mean much either for Barkley. When they took Joran Van Der Sloot's mug shot in Peru, it showed him at 6'7". His actually height is more like 6'3.5". Mug shots can add 2" - 3" on a regular basis. Mathew says on 19/Jun/10

Shawn Bradley at 7-5.5, Patrick Ewing at 6-10.5, Larry Johnson at 6-5.5, Mugsy Bogues at 5-3.

I'm seeing a man who is indeed 6-4 5/8. He's 6-6 in shoes for sure. RampageClover-190.8cm says on 16/Jun/10
Charles Barkley's height is dead on. Michael Jordan looks taller than Barkley. He's probably 196-197cm....I don't believe that he's less than 6ft5in jtm says on 10/Jun/10
same height as jordan. annie says on 6/Jun/10
I thought he was much much shorter, but on SNL, he is definitely towering over every actor Mathew says on 2/Jun/10
I believe the 6-4 5/8 mentioned in the quote. If he says he's 6'4.75" I doubt he's 6'6", except that is, in shoes. maciek says on 11/May/10
You people need to realize that NBA players are measured in shoes, meaning that they are 1-2 inches shorter than their measured height, therefore if Barkley was listed at 6-6, he is in fact somewhere between 6-4 6-5 bare feet. Another thing, do not compare players with other NBA players because their height is also listed in shoes, so when you say that Barkley must be 6-6 or 6-7 because he is visibly taller than Kenny Smith who is 6-3, you have to realise that in fact Kenny Smith is 6-1 bare foot and not 6-3 which is his height measured in shoes. The Euro players are measured barefeet (I think) so there is a better indication of their actual height. Gortat was listed at 211 during Euro basketball and in the NBA he is listed at 7'0 which is 213. Killerecho says on 20/Apr/10
Last night on Inside The NBA, they did a comparison between Conan O'Brien and Barkley. In the category of height, Barkley argued that he was taller - that he was 6-5 to Conan's 6-4. Ernie challenged that he was 6-3, to which Barkley later said, 6-4 and three quarters. Make of it what you will. starks says on 15/Apr/10
Barkley is actually a shade taller than Jordan. josh says on 21/Mar/10
i have seen him being described 6'4 before. its too bad he never got a championship before, he should have joined the lakers in 99. Leung says on 20/Mar/10
good picture JT. Both are in thin loafers and Barkley is only a little shorter than Pippen. I have never believed the 6'4.75" stuff about Barkley, the guy is clearly not that short. JT says on 19/Mar/10
If you believe the 6'7.5" draft listing of Scottie Pippen is correct: Click Here Their footwear looks comparable. Sal says on 19/Mar/10
Charles Barkley is now about 6/6 1/4" barefoot. When Barkley was arrested after throwing a guy out a bar window with his spine being compressed about 2/3" from gravity through the day, he was 6'8" in shoes. Barkley would have been 6'8 2/3" in those same shoes right after he woke up from a good night's sleep.

I would easily believe 6'7" PEAK for Barkley barefoot. Steve says on 17/Mar/10
Charles definately looks around 6'6 most of the time. I think he understates his height to make himself look better or has never been accurately measured. I can't see him under 6'5.5". He is always 2 - 3 inches taller than guys who are around 6'3". Bill V says on 15/Feb/10
People, do not let Chuck fool you, okay. The guy is at least 6'6.5, most likely 6'7. Hes an enormous guy who likes to list himself at a shorter height so his stats and vertical abiility all seem more impressive. C'mon!!! Its Chuck, guy says whatever he wants. By the way I love the guy and the way he played the game
PROOF: look at the commercial of him walking side by side with D Wayde. He's got at least 3 inches on the 6'4 Wayde. He's a big dude folks, dont let him fool ya Tall Guy says on 20/Jan/10
If Charles said he was 6'4 3/4" I believe him, why would he underestimate his height, to make his rebounding skills look more impressive. Danimal says on 11/Jan/10

I'm sorry but there is no way this man is anything under 6'6''. I was watching Saturday Night Live last night with Barkley as the host and he stood considerably taller than Bill Hader and Jason Sudeikis, both of whom are near 6'2''. He was at least four or five inches taller than them. Unless they are lying (and I cannot imagine they are because they tower over the other cast members), he must be at least 6'6''.
He was also barely shorter than 6'7.5" Kris Novoselic (bassist for Nirvana) when he hosted SNL in the 1990's. Lebensdorf says on 10/Jan/10

In 1989 Vlade Divac was listed with 212 cm when he played for Partizan Belgrade in Yugoslav League. NBA 7-1 (216).
Here some examples for Croatian players in the NBA:
Toni Kukoc, 207 cm, later 208 cm, NBA 6-11 (211)
Dino Radja, 210 cm; NBA 6-11 (211)
Drazen Petrovic 197 cm; NBA 6-5 (196)
Stojko Vrankovic 217 cm; NBA 7-2 (218)
Gordan Giricek 201 cm; NBA 6-6 (198)
Bruno Sundov 221 cm; NBA 7-2
Dalibor Bagaric 216 cm; NBA 7-1
Mario Kasun 215 cm; NBA 7-0
Zoran Planinic 201 cm; NBA 6-5
Roko Ukic 195 cm; NBA 6-5 Hugh 190-192cm says on 29/Dec/09
Maybe 6"5.25? anonymous says on 27/Nov/09
he looks about 6'4 1/2 in most photos. Yeah, huge guy as he is over 6'4. Leung says on 29/Oct/09
Yeah I saw the half time commentary during the Celtics-Cavs game and compared to Chris Webber and Kevin McHale he was not a lot shorter. Looks very close the 6'6" he was listed during his NBA career. Anonymous says on 28/Oct/09
I just saw Barkley on TV with Kevin McHale - Barkley could not be more than 2 inches shorter than McHale (though Barkley was wearing big sneakers), and McHale was listed at 6-10 or 6-11. Barkley was the one who was lying - he is at least 6-6 (actually, I suspect he was crouching for his mug shot, which by the way are not taken at an angle- the camera moves up and down). RisingForce says on 22/Aug/09
Chris Webber said Barkley was "6-5, 6-6" when someone said Chuck was "6-5" when Webber was listing his all time starting 5 for the 76ers. Candyman says on 13/Aug/09
He is often photographed with Magic Johnson who doesnt look any taller than 6'7.5" at the most. This height makes since with the recent admissions of Jordan and Kobe of being no taller than 6'5". RisingForce says on 23/Jul/09
Barkley is 6'6" on most websites because he's likely around that height. He's taller than 6'5.5" Julius Erving. Duhon says on 29/May/09

As always Chuck was standing tall on Leno last night. 6'5''. Leung says on 3/Apr/09
Big King, go find some videos of actual game footage because Jordan is not taller than Barkley. CatsbeattheDogs says on 31/Mar/09
Funny how Big King upgrades everyone one here except for Barkley Scorb says on 24/Mar/09
6-5.5 might even be undercutting him a little. He looks a solid 6-6 a lot of the time. Brandon says on 23/Mar/09
I recently saw an episode of Inside the NBA during which Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith and Dwyane Wade, who are listed at various times as 6'1", 6'3" and 6'4" respectively, all stood next to one another. There was little visible difference in their heights, likely due to differing footwear and less than perfect posture. Chuck, who claims 6'4" to heighten his dominance at his position, stood at the end of the line and clearly towered over all three of them. I don't pay enough attention to get into fractions of an inch, but he was obviously at least a couple of inches taller than the 6'4" Dwyane Wade.
I'm between 6'2" and 6'3". More towards 6'3" based on comparisons with others in my height range. Anyway, if Chuck's 6'4", my 6'10.5" cousin is 6'6" and everyone I know is at least 4" shorter than they were measured at or have estimated themselves to be. |
