I’m not seeing a 6’4 7/8 measurement being on record. Honestly I would buy 6’4 1/2” next to Malone or Magic. His Dream Team measurement of 6’4 5/8” lines up in front of him. You will see Barkley standing in front of Karl Malone at one stage in the beginning of the video. I have Majerle as 6’5 1/2” tops in his primeĬanson said on Rob: here is the video of the 92 Dream Team’s induction into the HOF. 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. Many pics and videos with Barkley had bad angles so they made him look taller. 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. 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. 6’4.5-6’5 range suggests more 6’4.5-6’5” as Rob said with Joe Mangianello. 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. Rob said himself that it looked 3-3.5” between he and Malone at the 92 Dream Team induction. 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. 6’4.75 could be his height around lunchtime and 6’4 5/8 his afternoon/evening. I guess downgrading is seen as disrespectful or it’s too much like work □♂️Ĭanson said on 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. 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”. All of this nonsense about it not being “official” would go right out the window. 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”. But if someone wanted someone to be taller, they would use the higher measurement. I don’t get why that’s ignored and I don’t get the excuses made with the 6’4 5/8 measurement. And he has an official measurement of 6’4 5/8”. 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”. These are people who can tell the difference being 6’2 and 6’3”. People I know who’ve actually stood next to him said he was 6’4/6’5 range peak. Canson said on viper: he was never a flat 6’5” let alone over it.
