Barkley looks way taller than 6`4. He has been one of the big sruprises of this site. I thought he was shorter but there are many pics in which he towers over 6`2, 6`3 guys

Barkely says he is 6-4 and he looks like he is 6-4. I can't believe how many people can't see that in this thread. He looks wide and muscular, but he does not look tall.

Ive never heard of a baseball player being underlisted Bob. Usually they are fudged by 1-2 inches. Sometimes 3-4 in extreme cases.

yes in wrestling they all lie, but it makes him look more impressive to dominate at 64 instead of 68 of course,and in college bball we would lie to seem bigger to other teams,i met numerous athletes john rocker listed at 64 more like 65,mario lemeuix listed at 64 is more like 65,if barkley said 65 in a half or 66 would be believeable but 64 come on,i am 64 thats like me saying i am 61 just no way,i can see a fudge of one to two inches but not three to four like he is saying

I guess he flat out lies about his height... Just strange that he is taller than he claims cause it is usually vice versa.

why is that viper, there are tons of full-length photos showing barkley to be within one inch of guys like Dominique Wilkins who was listed at 6'8 his whole career, there are full length photos where he matches up quite good with shaq
there is a video of him looking the same height or just a smidge shorter than Krist Novoselic and towering over the other nirvana guys one of whom is a legit 6ft.
there is numerous photos where he has 3 inches on seal and kevin sorbo.
how is barkley pulling off all these amazing feats of height, its either mega lifts or he really is 6'5+???

Wouldn't 6'4 5/8" be more accurate since the Sports Illustrated article you quoted states he was measured at that height? I'm sure Chuck is just rounding up when he claims to be 6'4 3/4".

im sorry this is weird. I mean he towered 6'4 conan the other day, and he looks in the 6'6 - 6'7 range in all of these pictures, yet he says he's only 6'4.75? I think he's one of the few basketball players to wear lifts.

He really dwarfed Goldberg and looked huger too .

Goldberg at 6-1? He was a little taller than Brock Lesnar (1/4 to 1/2 inch) who is 6-1 1/4 as you peg him at, Viper. That would make Goldberg 6-1 1/2 or 6-1 3/4, if Brock really is 6-1 1/4.

Have also in mind that I wrote "often" more accurate, not "always more accurate", since I know the NFL has been exaggerating more than college sometimes.
But with Goldberg case, it sounded more like the NFL wore correct than the university he played for (Atlanta).

Vegas, in that pic with Goldberg, Goldberg seems to have a little of an angle advantage. Not by much though, but if both of them stood straight besides each other, Barkeley would look taller imo.
Also take into account that Goldberg was listed at 6-2 in professional football. Professional football heights are often more accurate than college football heights.

Sir charles is 6'6 in shoes or 1,97/1,98 and 6'4,5 or 1,95 barefoot. Due to his fat body he looks shorter or anybody else 6'6 guy, but he can looks his currenty listing height.

some people seem to be confused as to some true barefoot heights of late 80's-90's basketball stars. Charles and Michael Jordan are both around the 6'5" mark, and Magic Johnson about 6'7.5". I never really was into Larry Bird, I don't know how tall he is, same as Magic? Remember that NBA players can choose to list height in shoes or barefoot(both of which can be inflated by an inch or so; all but those over about 6'10" use the shoes height).

Not sure why there's so much debate.i've heard charles say he's 6'4.75" a few times in interview and he's used the word "exact" as well. during the all-star weekend they just rounded his height up a bit to 6'5" (and who wouldn't if you were that height?)

I think Barkley is a strong 6'5". His 6'4" claim is just Barkley being Barkley. He's still arguably the greatest power forward in NBA history.
Here's a good pic of Barkley next to Ray Romano (6'2" per Editor Rob), Chris Webber (probably 6'8.5" to 6'9") and Brad Garrett (6'8" per Editor Rob).(Click Here). Barkley looks closer to 6'6" here. Garrett might be only 6’7” and Romano only 6’1". You know about those "Hollywood heights".
Magic usually looked around 2 inches taller than Barkley when they played. Either Magic has really shrunk, Barkley had big-heeled shoes on, or Barkley was standing a bit closer to the camera. Magic looks to have Barkley by close to 2 inches here from that same photo shoot. (Click Here) Magic still looks at least 6’7” based on these recent pics.

When even the NBA history site writes he is closer to 6-4, he is probably that. But he could be anywhere from 6-0 to 7-0, he was a briliant player.

The All-Star game had Chuck at 6'5", so that is the absolute most he can be, though I think he is really 6'4 1/2"-3/4".

Im still not totally convinced. Barkley only looks a flat 6-4 next top Kenny Smith on the TNTR NBA show.

Nice pics Vegas, they clearly show that Barkley is taller than the 6’4” that people are imagining. The guy is 6’5”-6’5.5”.
The reason people like to understate Barkley’s height is because it magnify’s his basketball achievements by emphasising the underdog story of an overweight and undersized power forward who overcome the odds and became one of the greatest players.

He has claimed 6'4.75" before and now 6'5.25" in January, I really do not have a clue with this guy. I forgot about the Chris Novaselic footage and that just adds to the confusion.
He is a half an inch shorter than a slouching JBL so 6'6 is probably wrong but he certainly can look 6'6 from time to time in certain pictures; what is going on here because I'm stumped

I agree with JT, Barkley is 6’5”.
Part of the reason we like to entertain the idea of 6’4” is because it adds to his legendary status, it really appeals to the underdog affect. You know, one of the most dominant NBA Power Forwards of all time being a ‘round mound of rebound’ short guy against the odds and being one of the best rebounders in the league.

Legend Stopper, there's about a 3 inch difference there and the floor is not level (Barkley's feet are at a lower level than Malone's). Barkley's own claim that he is 6'4" is B.S. I think he's no less than 6'5" and probably a bit taller.

he could be 6'5, most people can't tell a diference between 6'4 and 6'5 in their mind. Sometimes cant tell a diference even when 6'4 and a 6'5 guy is standing next to each other. The main reason is body frame some people looks smaller than they really are and other looks taller than they really are.

Charles is really in the 6-4 range barefoot. You really cant judge height on Conan's show because a lot of his guests who are 6-0 look close to Conan's height when they shake his hand. Though I think Conan might be under 6-4 regardless.

Yesterday,(Oct. 30) Barkley was a guest on the late show with Conan O'Brien, and when they were shaking hands, they stood upright against each other, and believe it or not, Charles was at least 2 or 2.5 inches taller than Conan. None of them was slouching their backs. Also, last friday Jennifer Aniston was a guest on Conan's show and they were talking how tall Vince Vaughn was (6'5" she said) and then Conan was like, "wow, I'm 6'4" but my hair makes me look taller." Now, the question is: Is Conan shorter or is Charles really 6'6" without shoes?

The "official" height is hard to say, who is to say what is everyone's official height, wouldn't it be just as inaccurate to list your late-night height after you have been on your feet for 12 hours. I think Mid-day height is more of a general consensus accurate number. Morning height is just as important as late-night, but middle day is probably what most agree upon.
Barkley at 6'5" at least?

before danny ainge started in the front office for the celtics, he used to work for tnt as an announcer. he interviewed charles barkley, and was busting his chops about not really being 6'6. danny said"come on, i'm 6'4 and a half, you can't be 6'6". ainge and barkley played together on the suns. if a fellow ballplayer(that has been in the locker room with countless number of times) is busting his hump, i think it's safe to say that barkley was nowhere near 6'6. plus, pretty much every basketball shoe gives you about 1.5". when i played in high school, i was 5'10 but was always listed as 6'1(added an extra 1.5" to my height with shoes for intimdiation purposes since i was playing small forward..ha ha)

look at this photo of Jordan with Barkley http://www.nba.com/media/finals2003/jordan_barkley_1993.jpg
I'd say he's 6-5.

I saw Barkley as I was changing planes in Phoenix. H walked right past me. 6-4 or so is pretty close.

I've seen Barkley many times on talk show. He is a solid 6'4" even now.

Barkely himself once said: "There'll never be another 6'4" player to do what I did". Even if he's way shorter than alot of NBA players, he's still a legend and a pretty big guy!

I saw Charles Barkely at a club in San Antonio Texas back in 97 when he was still playing with the Houston rockets.I went up and spoke to him and shooked hands .I am about 5"10 and i had on cowboy boots and he was a little bit taller than me.He looked very small compared to being listen as 6"6 and durning that time he had lot some weight.I would have to say he looked at least 6"3 to a weak 6"4 at most.

Yeah, he's 6'4". I remember him telling David Letterman that on a recent episode.
