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
Daryl Basarab said on 24/Feb/08
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.
bob said on 21/Feb/08
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
derek said on 21/Feb/08
I guess he flat out
lies about his height... Just strange that he is taller than he claims cause it is usually vice versa.

I could not have said it any better Vegas.
bob said on 19/Feb/08
i agree vegas, because barkley is there hero which he is mine also,but fact is fact, i am six four and he towers over me walk past him all the time its a no brainer,been playing basketball all my life l know what six four or six six looks like,wish we could get a tape measure out and settle this once and for all
Vegas said on 19/Feb/08
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+???
Viper said on 19/Feb/08
You're pretty wrong, because Jordan is not 6-6 either.
bob said on 19/Feb/08
i know because all these years people have been duped by him and the media, i will bet my house and car that this man is at least six foot six barefoot, i made a bet with his close female friend one hundred dollars and she would not accept, like i said work in the night club industry see all these guys, jordan a legit 66, oakley a legit 69, tyrone hill 69-610, but barkley at least 66 more like 67 in my honest opinion, its his legacy he is trying to protect that he is the smallest power forward ever to dominate and to lead in rebounding,
Viper said on 18/Feb/08
Thats really hard to beleive bob.
bob said on 17/Feb/08
i work at a night club, barkley always comes in, i am six four barefoot, and he towers over me played college ball been measured a number of times,have a bouncer there that is six six, and he is taller than him, and if you ever look at his shoes he wears loafers with no heels what so ever, so me six four with regular dress shoes, he is at least 2-3 inches taller than me, this is coming from someone who sees him on a weekly basis,
Shaq is 7'1" said on 15/Feb/08
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".
Leung said on 21/Jan/08
Derek, seeing Barkley towering over Conan was no illusion, Barkley is a tall dude.
I love Chucky, he was one of my favourite players during the 90

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.

JohnP said on 11/Nov/07
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.
Viper said on 11/Nov/07
I peg them both at 6-1.
Vegas said on 11/Nov/07
goldberg was slightly shorter than triple h in gear AND streets, so he is no taller than 6'2
JohnP said on 10/Nov/07
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).
JohnP said on 9/Nov/07
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.
Vegas said on 8/Nov/07
there is no 8.5 inches between shaq and barkley in that photo, lol, if shaq is 7'1 and barkley is 6'4.5" then the top of barkleys head would come below shaq's bottom lip and that is not the case in the photos of the two in ordinary footwear
Shaq is 7'1 said on 4/Nov/07
If you want to be exact 6'4.625 would be best because Sports Iluustrated even said that was what he was measured at.

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?)
JT said on 9/Mar/07
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. Here’s Magic, legit 6’5” Kobe Bryant and Kareem (legit 7’2”, maybe 7’1” now) (

Yes Barkley was awesome he was my favourite player during the 90’s. Actually the most expensive pair of shoes I have ever bought were a pair of Barkley model Nike Airs in 1993. I also remember swapping half my trading cards to get a Barkley rookie card.
weekly said on 7/Mar/07
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.

that pics convince me that he is taller than 6'4 he is about 6'5 barefoot.
Leung said on 4/Mar/07
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.
Vegas said on 4/Mar/07
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
Viper said on 3/Mar/07
So Vegas, If Charles is all over the place then I dont think we can use that evidence of him barely looking shorter than 6-7 Chris Novaselic.

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.
Viper652 said on 2/Nov/06
JT, the problem is most people peg him at 6-4 in person.
JT said on 2/Nov/06
I'd give Barkley at least 6'5", possibly a shade taller. Was he any shorter than Jordan? Like supposed 6'6" Rodman (who looks at least an inch taller), I think Barkley wanted to be thought of as shorter than he really is to make his rebounding accomplishments all the more impressive.
Viper652 said on 1/Nov/06
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.
Bill said on 31/Oct/06
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?
aerotive said on 31/Oct/06
He was on Conan O'Brien's show tonight. Looked a good two inches taller than Conan to me. I think Barkley's more like 6ft 5.5in. Either that or O'Brien is shorter than widely believed.

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?

If I recall correctly, you said you're 6'1 1/2'' when you first wake up? Your height isn't your height when you're fresh outta bed, because you're taller then. Goldberg could be only 6'1 1/2''.

I SERIOUSLY doubt that Goldberg is shorter than me Viper652. I remember seeing him countless times on TV when he was wrestling and I also remember him standing taller than Ashton Kutcher when kutcher came out to him during the mtv show punk'd. if he's 6 foot 1, kutcher is under 6 foot 1? C'mon. No way. Goldberg is definitely no 6 foot 1 guy, I'll seriously give him 6 foot 2.5 to 6 foot 3.

Barkley at only 6'4" is very hard to believe, is Gabrielle not 6'3" anymore? Look at Barkley by Seal...come on. http://www.wireimage.com/GalleryListing.asp?navtyp=gls===1728
"The Answer" has some very good points.

Again he stated he was 6'4.75" on TV a couple years back... He could be 6'5 in the morning.

It looks like it was taken in the locker room. The likely explanation is Goldie's in bare feet. Barkley isn't over 6'4 1/2''.

Goldberg's true height is 6-1. So that would make Barkley 6-6 in that pic, his listed height.

i have to say a couple things about this , first to the editors , barkley says he' "6'4" because he wants to seem like the little engine that could he's much taller than that atleast "6'6", if you would look at the mug shot of him at peak he's "6'9" , ok we can take off a acouple of inches saying he had shoes on and wasnt directly against the wall that covers about two inches , also it seems the editors try an make someone who's tall shorter than they are , example : charles barkley says he's "6'4" but we all know he's not so they put him as "6'4" but when someone who says they're "6'4" and really is they list him at "6'2.5" .. it makes me think because i see a lot of tall actors and they get listed shorter than they actually are .. also i have to say charles barkley is "6'6" because honestly seen him ,met him and took a pic with him i am a full "6'7" and i was no more than an inch taller than him ..

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)

Common, Barkley has to be 6'6"....Look at this pic with Gabrielle Reece. He
appears to be about 4" taller than her, and ahe is 6'3"...

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.
Gramps said on 23/Oct/05
I've seen Barkley many times on talk show. He is a solid 6'4" even now.
J. said on 23/Oct/05
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.

Barkley said on a TNT game he was 6'4.75"

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