he was measured 7'5 barefoot, if yao is 7'3 then the entire nba past and present needs to be downgraded massively

Henry Abbot of ESPN writes:
When, at long last, he reached his hotel room, I was granted an interview with Yao and his then-ever-present translator, Colin Pine.
Maybe I was there an hour or two, but however long it was, it was long enough to "cut the crap."
Five minutes would have been long enough, in fact.
The whole massive entity of Yao was infused with sincerity, humility, fun and warmth of spirit -- the things I guess most people imagine they would find in the celebrities.
He rattled off all kinds of truths, for instance that he wasn't anything like his listed 7-foot-6. Without shoes, he said, he was 7-3. Photos would show Shawn Bradley -- listed at the same height -- was taller.
Why did they list him at 7-6 then? He cocked an eyebrow in a "you tell me" kind of way. hi says on 9/Jul/11
Yao has said himself he is actually 7ft3 and doesn't understand why he gets listed 7ft6. Shawn Bradley was right.
Said Henry Abbott:
"He rattled off all kinds of truths, for instance that he wasn't anything like his listed 7-foot-6. Without shoes, he said, he was 7-3. Photos would show Shawn Bradley -- listed at the same height -- was taller.
Why did they list him at 7-6 then? He cocked an eyebrow in a "you tell me" kind of way." Cranberries (17m, 193.75-191.25) says on 24/Jun/11
Yao Ming has, by far, the largest head in the NBA. His proportions are wonderful though; he's like a 6'0" Chinese guy under a microscope. Vegas says on 21/Apr/11
not to nickpick but bradleys official measurement is 7'5.75 Mathew says on 19/Apr/11
The official measurements are said to be Mutumbo 7'1.25", Yao 7'5", Bradley 7'5.5", Shaq 7'1". No reason to think Yao grew taller than Bradley, who actually looks more than half an inch taller than Yao. thomas t samaras says on 12/Apr/11
We need to be cautious about promoting bigger size in children and future generations. While a small number of tall or big people is not a problem, a world filled with large people presents many threats to human survival as shown in the research papers linked below.
Re: US researcher warns that worldwide increase in body size, independent of obesity, is a threat to human survival.
Many environmentalists believe that the increasing world population threatens human survival. However, they ignore the worldwide increase in body size for over 100 years. Yet, 7 billion larger people, whether through muscle or fat, require huge amounts of food, energy, resources, and money to support. In addition, larger people produce more waste, pollution and environmental damage.
A new paper provides an exceptional view of human body size and its ramifications in terms of human health and survival and was just published in World Health, a journal of the World Public Health Nutrition Association. The editor of the University of California
Berkeley Wellness Letter called it a "fascinating article." The commentary has been described as an "epic vision," and can be found in htm or PDF format at the link below.

The commentary covers worldwide findings on how increasing body size affects human performance, longevity, intelligence, resources, the environment, the economy and human survival.

The author has researched the ramifications of human body size for over 35 years and has published in dozens of medical and scientific journals and six medical/nutrition books. He is also the editor of the book: Human Body Size and the Laws of Scaling, 2007, Nova Science Publishers, NY. A book reviewer described the work as a Herculean accomplishment.
