Rob, what would it take for you to bump up charles to a full 6'5"? In most pictures he comes off as a strong 6'5"+ and i don't believe he ever really did look shorter than Michael Jordan who have here at 6'5" now.

Editor Rob maybe he's one guy who got measured just under 6ft 5 and went with it...then another time got measured standing a bit better as 6ft 5.5 (or a bit earlier).

James If you are 6-4.5 in shoes that means you are in the 6-3 range barefoot . Charles barckey being 2 inches taller than you make sense . He is a legit 6-5 and 6-6 in shoes . Maybe a tad taller than 6-6 with some shoes .

6'5 1/2" in the morning and 6'4 3/4" in the evening is what his height is. He just rounded his morning height to 6'6" when he went to the NBA.

I recently saw "Sir Charles" in Atlanta. He is one of the few (past) NBA players that undersells his height. No way that he's under a full 6'6" flat and likely a full 6'7" in shoes. I'm 6'4.5" in shoes and he had me by an easy 2 inches. I recently saw a picture of Charles with "The Rock" and Charles utterly dwarfed him! I have to believe that "The Rock" is 6'3," at the very best straight out of bed in the morning. I've heard him claim 6'5" and there's absolutely no way unless he wears Marilyn Manson shoes!

Not true, guinness doesnt measure anything... they goes with billed height, i remember haystacks was listed 6'11 in some old book, but we know he was never above 6'5. And two of their recently listed tallest dogs was also wrongly listed. "giant george" 43 inches (he was 39) and gibson 42.2 (he was 37-38) just to give you some example!

For most Basketball players, take their listed height and remove 1,5 inches and you will have much closer to their true height.
For those that are over 7ft, usually there is not much tampering with their height and they get listed at their true heights.
Example: Manute Bol was 7ft 6.75 in, they listed him at 7ft 7in. Had they listed him at 7ft 9in, Guiness World Records would have refuted it, since they also measured, Mr. Bol.
Basketball players (at all levels) height's are measured first without their shoes and then with them, their listed height is based on their height with shoes rounded to the nearest inch.
In his book, I May Be Wrong but I Doubt It, Barkley states his 6ft 4.75in height. This is consistent with his US Olympic 1992 Measurement, and with his previous statements. Also it is identical to Michael Jordan's measurement and Jordan himself stated in a video that they were the same height.
So at 6ft 4.75in, he is still taller than 99.5% of the world population.

barkley was noticeably taller than 6'4 ufc listed jon jones recently on tv, jones looks around same height as steven seagal Click Here
-----------------
Hard to say for sure. Jones never stands right next to Barkley but a step ahead of him. Take a look starting at 2:15 and watch how the camera raises up for a high shot and Jones appears to shrink before our eyes, and then it slowly comes back down where he appears to grow again. If there's a high shot and Jones is standing in front, he'll appear shorter than he should next to those behind him.

There is actually a very good reason to lie down about your height (at least in the beginning). When a player is listed as a 6'4" and then you actually play against him and he's really 6'6'', that will intimidate some players.

People lie be they Athletic directors, PR reps or players themselves. Usually up, it sounds better and promotes interest or adds to the lore. I've met Charles a few times, on Philly's Mainline back in the day, and he appears larger than he is, I was surprised to find out I was taller than he, I'm 6'5". The man says he's 6-4 5/8 and having seen it for myself I'd say that's about right.

That's gotta be the worst mugshot I've ever seen- I've seen shots on SNL better than that one! Barkley's mugshot was in 1997- why does it look like he's a depression-era gangster; "What Ah, Al Capone?" Can't you just hear him saying it?
Mask listed the International Standard earlier- not the old "great, great grandpa had his thumb on the scale the whole time and the tourist didn't even know" standards but the ones measured with a meterstick standardized by vacuum sealed platinum in the "Happiest city in the world"--Paris France!
I know, what have they done for me lately, but, it's platinum... in a vacuum! It doesn't matter if it's sealed in a drum 500' below downtown Cincinnati-- well, bad example- but you get the idea; the platinum bar is the same length either way, regardless of the GeoPolitical chess match being dueled outside the vault. I am 6'4" or 193 cm. Ok, it's 193.02 or .04 cm depending on how the conversion calculator (Click Here) works it but anyway- Barkley is 194 cm so he's just 2 hundredths of an inch shy of 6'4 2/5".
Oh yeah, and he was built like a heavy steel spring loaded, body armor clad Marine... with, shall we say, a single-minded nature? He spiked the ball off of 7'1/4" and ~ 310 lb Shaquille O'Neil's big round dome in 1999 and just stood there looking at him like "That's right, you big brown bear- now whattchoo gon do about it?" The man did not know how to quit on the floor, and maybe a little bit off the floor too, but he was a singular talent with a singular personality. And now the personality is blossoming nicely in his old age.

I saw his "mugshot" picture, and he is at 6'8" exactly. Of course, that has to be with shoes on, but that would likely be 1"or2" at most. I think Barkley is a 6'6" barefoot...at the very least 6'5.5"

He really can't be only 6'4'', more like a very strong 6'5''. Some guys on SNL are around 6'2'' and he towered over them by a lot (Bill Hader and Jason Sudeikis).

In 1993, Charles appeared to be 4.5" shorter than Mark West, and about the same difference taller than Sacramento mayor Kevin Johnson. So if KJ is 6'1" and West is 6'10", then Charles is roughly 6'5.5". Nothing wrong with that, I've been listed at 6'2" since 97-98 but I'm really about 6'1.5".

"During his college career, Barkley played the center position, despite being shorter than the average center. His height, officially listed as 6 ft 6 in (1.98 m), is stated as 6 ft 4 in (1.93 m) in his book, I May Be Wrong but I Doubt It."
He's not considerably over 6'4", now anyway. The pic with Kodjoe proves it; Kodjoe is listed as 6'2-6'3.5". On the 'DB, he's listed as 6'2.5".
Charles Barkley: 6'4", perhaps 6'5" peak, and very big. Size 16 shoe; much larger than a footlong Subway sandwich :P.

Dude you are overestimating. Kenny Smith is like 5-11 MAX.
and since there are around 5 inches between the two of them in that pic, Chuck is only 6-4. But in his case, he seems like one of those 6-6 guys that looks 6-2.
I have no proof that Barkley is 6-2, but it sounds right to me, so im going to run with it.
All jokes aside, Kenny Smith is either the same height as D Rose or a little taller. D Rose is listed at 6-3 but is around 6-1.5 barefoot iirc.

Look, Barkley is easily 6,6" because ask anyone who has ever ran into him in person and he looks taller than 6'4. A lot taller. Barkley is likely 6,6, maybe 6'5.5 at the shortest, which is why with shoes on he still looks close to 6'7.
All photos of him show 6'6 easily.

Willie, everyone's seen that mugshot. But you only need click on the "Photos and Perspective" link to the left to understand what mugshot cameras do when they're at the same level as your chest.
Just use your common sense. Yes, Barkley looks 6'7" from the perspective of the mugshot, because the mugshot cameras are too low for him; mugshot cameras are usually at the proper height for a 5'10" man; even for a 6' tall guy, a mugshot might make you look 6'1" or taller.
E.g., in the mugshot with Plaxico Burress, the height chart shows Burress at around 6'7", when Burress is really a hair shorter than Charles Barkley. The camera also looks lower in Barkley's shot.

On TNT tonight (4/18/2011), in the "Ask Chuck" sequence, Chicago Bulls player Kyle Korver asked Charles how tall he is. Charles said with no joke that he is 6 feet 4.75 inches. That came from the mouth of Charles Barkley himself.

Ok, I just watched TNT basketball right now, in the middle of the Bulls-Pacers halftime show. Barkley says that he's 6 feet 4.75 exactly.
That sounds correct.

barkley just said "I'm 6-4 3/4" just said it. he might be SLIGHTLY rounding up coz he used to at least be that, but yeah Jordan seems smaller than listed. I also read that Jordan was lighter than listed at 216.

6'4 3/4" from his own mouth tonight during a playoff telecast. No reason he'd lie about being that much shorter than his billed height. Perfect assessment by this website.

well, so we all say that NBA couldn't measure their player heights, if so, why would we watch nba game for along time ago? barkley is a solid 6'6 , we all knew he's big mouth,when he said his height 6'4,5, he just want to tell his rebound ability truly amazing. i'm 6'5, i met him at exhibizion show and stood beside him, he's a little bit taller than me.
he is a solid 6'6, no doubt

@ Mathew.
I appreciate your opinion and feedback. Thanks for that !
Riley said Jordan was 6'4.5, it has not been an official measurement. Riley is known to want to be the number one. Where Phil Jackson or Chuck Daley give overwhelming credits to their players, Riley believes he is the main reason for success. Assuming that Jordan is 6'4.75, let's say Riley would claim 6'4.5 and Jackson would make him over 6'5...
Furtermore, Jordan earned in his haydays nearly 40 million on Nike commercials, of which Riley (at the rivals Knicks at the time) said it was more like 20. Nike admitted it was the higher number. This is to illustrate.
Myself I never met Jordan, unfortunately. The only data I know about Jordan's height is his official listing at 6'6, presumably with shoes. Without shoes that is likely to be 6'5, for basketball shoes do not add more than 1 inch. Also, photos at his website with Tom Selleck or basketball players to me show Jordan is at least 6'5. Same for Bryant.
Barkley was big when I met him, bigger than I thought to be honest.

Riley is a not an anomynous source, true. But he is not the best liked guy in NBA history and known to talk down big stars. Jordan on several occassions said Riley has a big ego. Shaquille O'Neal openly disliked the man. Check after 6 minutes:
Click Here
(this is a reference to his time at Miami Heat where Riley gave him little playtime to show who was the boss.)
If Riley says Jordan is 6,4.5, you bet Riley is rounding down.
And Lebron James is officially listed as 6'7.25 without shoes.

So Charles, Michael and Kobe are all around 6'4 because Pat Riley says Michael is ? I am sure you can find quotes somewhere stating all three are 6'2 max...
That's a terrible argument. Pat Riley is a pretty good source, he's not some anonymous dude on celebheights claiming 'oh yeah I met MJ, he's 6'2"." Riley said that Jordan was measured at 6'4.5", that's in writing. You can believe the NBA fairy tail of 6'7" Kobe Bryant and 6'9" Lebron if you want.

Barkley was indeed a bit taller than I was when I stood side by side. I was measured last weekend and still a solid 6'5. I never met Bryant nor Jordan, but I can easily accept Jorden being 6'5 and Bryant slightly taller. For any of them three, 6'4 for me is not realistic.

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.

Sorry. Not correct. The guy has it right below. Barkley always talks down his height, to make his achievments at PF more legendary. You can see many shots of him with Jordan, and other legit 6'6-6'7 ballers, and he's the same height.
And really. The guy's done time! Have a look at his official police mugshot. He is well over 6'6 according to that! Let's give an inch on possible errors, and he's 6.5 and a half minimum. His mug shot suggests he is over 6'6 in shoes. So is probably close to 6'6 flat foot

Just call him 6'5". Since basketball players all wear high shoes, he actually would not be far from 6'6" with those shoes.

Barkley is 1.95 mt (7 cms taller than Kenny Smith) remember that Barkley`s wide frame (Chest, Hip, Leggs) made it seem like more.

Barkley looks slightly taller maybe half an inch since he's leaning a bit and Lewis is a bit closer to the camera. Lewis is 6-4.75 so that backs up Barkley at 6-5 and change.

Gonzalo, Kobe has claimed 6'4" and his wife said she measured him 6'4.75". I'd give Kobe 6'4.75" or 195 cm. He can looks slightly under or over that at times.

The pic Shaq posted on August 31st is the definite proof. I even thought for a while Barkley could be wearing lifts at times. In 1986 World Championship I think Kenny Smith was listed 1`88. Barkley towers over him.
I saw the other day 1992 Olympics semifinals versus Lithuania and Barkely looked short, around 1`95. So did Drexler.
By the way, Magic looked taller than Spanish former player Epi, always listed 1`98. Magic looked around 3-4 cms taller.
Last but not least. In the last Olympics Kobe Bryant looked barely taller than Spanish Player Juan Carlos Navarro, listed 1`92, did you notice? Maybe it`s true Kobe Bryant is just 1`94

I guess I know the reason why Barkley stood almost 6'8" on this photo. The result is that he was having shoes on. Without shoes he could be at least 6'6".

That's a bit strange. I mean, it is clear that Barkley is hardly under 6'6" but he is at least an inch shorter than Michael Jordan. Also for an NBA player, Barkley looks rather short.

He plays bigger than his body, and he's a muscular guy, and he plays under the basket the way people do who are much taller. That being said, he's still between 6 4 and 6 5. He may not fit the typical profile for someone that size but he is what he is.

The man isn't under 6-5 and he's likely closer to 6-6. As for lifts, well can he put lifts in his barefeet? The barefoot pictures of Barkley prove my claim.
I agree Viper, that ended my doubt that he was around 6-6. Prior to that I always thought he was in the 6'4"-6'5" range but now I see almost no chance of that. He looks too tall next to Magic and Dominique Wilkins. Both guys are 6-7 and Barkley didn't even look 1" shorter.

Chuck has claimed 6'5.25" like you said but also 6'5.75" as well. He's one of those 2 heights. The barefoot pictures with Kenny Smith prove that he's over 6'5" and possibly 6'6".
Exactly Big King, he appeared 6'7"-6'8" in shoes during his mugshot so he's about 6'6" barefoot.
Well Derek then he has lifts in his bare feet because there are pictures of Chuck barefoot towering over 6-3 listed Kenny Smith by 5 inches. Smith is atleast 6-1 putting Barkley around 6-6 minimum in those pictures.

Barkley is almost 6'5" estimated but in fact, I don't think that the official 6'6" listings are a lie. If there are already photos where Barkley appears to be almost 6'8" then he can't be anything under 6'6".

Chuckster you're crazy. A link was posted to Scottie Pippen's measurement.
"Scottie Pippen is 6-7 1/2, 212 pounds, a 74-inch wingspan - which is unreal. We think he'll get bigger and stronger. He has grown eight inches in the last four years. For those who follow genetics, Scottie's mother is 6 feet and weighs nearly 200 pounds."
Click Here
I'm cracking up about your Michael Jordan 6'5 7/8" estimate. Try 6'4 7/8". By the way the last 2 pictures with Jordan showed Chuck was clearly taller!
Your estimates are all over the place. Penny is 6'6" NOT 6'7" and Manning is 6'9" NOT 6'10". Barkley is also barely shorter than Pippen in your picture and he's leaning!
Barkley only looks under 6'5" in 2 pictures otherwise he always looks around 6'6"....you figure it out. The man is about 6'5 3/4" barefoot and 6'7" in shoes. Even a blind man could see that with all of the evidence myself and JT have posted.

Just to let everyone know Charles has claimed to be 6'5 3/4" once. It was on January 4th, 2007.
A funny coincidence is I took a bunch of pictures of Barkley and calculated Barkley's average estimated height in all of them.
First of all Barkley's mugshot.
Click Here
6'8" in shoes in the first picture and 6'7" in shoes in the second picture so take off an inch for shoes and that's 6'6" and 6'7".
Barkley is slightly taller than 6'5.5" Julius Erving but when you factor in that he's wearing basketball shoes I'll say they're the same height here.
Click Here
Barkley is about an inch taller than Dr. J here
Click Here
So about 6'6.5" there even factoring in that he's a little closer to the camera.
Barkley is only about half an inch shorter than 6'7" Magic Johnson
Click Here
So about 6'6.5" there
Barkley is only about an inch shorer than 6'7" Dominique Wilkins in each picture
Click Here
Click Here
So 6'6" twice.
If you factor in Pippen's poor posture then Barkley comes out about 2 inches shorter here and Pippen is 6'7.5".
Click Here
So 6'5.5" there
2 pictures where Barkley is only about 7 inches shorter than 7'1" Shaq
Click Here
Click Here
Barkley and 6'3.75" Dwyane Wade
Click Here
Barkley looks in between 2-3 inches taller there so I'll say 6'6.25"
To be fair I'll throw in 2 of the rare pictures where Barkley looks under 6'5"
Click Here
Looks maybe an inch shorter than 6'4 7/8" Michael Jordan there so I'll give him 6'4" in that picture.
Looks in between 5 and 6 inches shorter than 6'9" Danny Manning here
Click Here
I'll say 6'3.5" there
So with all of that the average comes out at 6'5.7" which would be rounded to 6'5.75" and that's even including the Manning picture where it's possible he was bending his knees. Without that picture the average is atleast 6'6" if not over.
With all of the evidence I've posted and JT has posted I don't see how anyone can possibly think Barkley is under 6'5" now.
Chuck's claim of 6'5.75" is accurate.
Not to mention the pictures where he was a full FIVE inches taller than 6'3" listed Kenny Smith in bare feet. Kenny probably isn't anything under 6'1".
I use to believe Barkley was 6'4 5/8" or 6'4 3/4" but after I saw Chuck barefoot on inside the NBA I changed my mind.
Charles needs to be upgraded by a full inch on this site.
I doubt it's a coincidence that Barkley claimed to be 6'5.75" once and he looks almost exactly that height.

I think it was with about 6:20 left in the 2nd quarter but unfortunately that short section was cut out for this highlight. I may ask the guy if he still has the entire game. 6'5.75" seems accurate for Barkley or at least 6'5.25" like Barkley also claimd in January 2007.

You notice the difference between Bryant a legit 6'4.75" guy and Barkley who is supposed to be 6'4.75"? Even 6'5" is way too low for Barkley, he is 6'6". The evidence just continues to pile up.
Chuck REALLY needs an upgrade to 6'6".
Chuck is 2-3 inches taller than 6'3.75" Dwyane Wade. I took a picture from one of their commercials and it shows Barkley looking atleast 6'6". Click Here

Assuming those heights are accurate then Chuck looks 6'6" or 6'6.5" next to Allen and a solid 6'7" if not more next to Reece.
Looking through this site I found this quote from Chuck from after a January 2007 Basketball Game(Cavs vs Suns).
"barefoot, i'm six five and a quarter."
2 posters also cited a 2007 quote from a January 4th, 2007 Lakers vs Kings game where Barkley said he was 6'5.75" but then went on to say that he was joking and he is really 6'4".
Multiple posters also claim Chuck has looked more than 2 inches taller than Conan O'Brien on his appearances on that show.
Man I always assumed he was 6'4 5/8" or 6'4 3/4" based on Barkley's numerous claims, the supposed Olympics measurement and the 1993 finals pic w/ Jordan but now I can't see him being under 6'6". The barefoot pictures with Kenny Smith really convinced me.
I was 100% wrong, Chuck really is a legit 6-6. People always wrote the mugshot off as a bad angle or Chuck wearing Cowboy boots but in reality 6'6" barefoot and 6'7" and change in shoes is Chuck's height.
Next Season I'd like for some of the people on this page to take Viper's advice and Email Inside the NBA requesting them to measure Chuck.

Some excellent points JT.
Look at Barkley next to Letterman who is listed 6'1.5" Click Here
Pause at 0:27 and you'll see Chuck is 4-5 inches taller.
Honestly I think the only picture where I've seen Chuck look under 6'5" is the 1992 Finals picture next to Jordan.

That's a good find Shaq and confirms my belief, and that of a few others here, that Barkley deliberately downgrades his height to make his accomplishments more impressive. Do a little research into occasionally self-claimed 6'6" Dennis Rodman (who is at least 6'7") and you'll find the same downgrading for the same reason.
Regarding the mug shot. Click Here First, the pics have to be fairly close to his height in shoes or what's the point of even taking the pics? Second, the pic on the right is close to an ideal camera angle (head level), with Barkley at 6'7" in shoes. Even in the unlikely scenario that he's wearing cowboy boots, that's still 6'5" right there. Third, would Barkley really feel like standing as tall as he could for a mug shot after just getting arrested?

The evidence for Chuck being about 6'6" is getting tough to deny.
First the mugshot shows him at 6'7" and 6'8" in shoes
Then Chuck towers over 6'3" listed Kenny Smith by 4-5 inches barefoot.
Chuck also appears no more than 1 inch shorter than 6'7" Magic Johnson
Here is a quote from Chuck.
"I feel I'm the best player in the world. Michael Jordan? He's a 6-6 guard. Everybody expects him to do what he's doing. I'm a 6-4 forward. No one expects me to do what I've done.
''I think what I have accomplished at 6-4 will never be accomplished again,'' Barkley said. ''There will never be another 6-4 player that can play inside like myself.
You can see he uses his lack of a height as a reason why he's great, making it likely that he'd downgrade his own height to make his playing more impressive.
Didn't Chuck also claim to be 6'5.5" or 6'5.75" once? Maybe that's his true height.

I've heard 6-8 for Malone and that seems accurate. Shaq also looks 6 inches taller than 6'7.5" Scottie Pippen and more than an inch taller than 7-0 Robinson.
As for Barkley I'd say that barefoot pic really points to him being around a legit 6-6. If we could confirm Kenny Smith's height that would really help too. He looks atleast 6'1.5" to me and the lowest possible height for him would be 6'1". Either way even if Smith was 6'1" flat Barkley still looks 6'5" or 6'6" in that picture.

I agree he is 4-5 inches taller than Kenny Smith and I give Smith a minimum of 6'1.5". I guess the only way to know for sure would be to see Chuck measured. I couldn't find Chuck's pre-draft height measurement but I do know he weighed 284 pounds before the draft.

Dollar watch the video again because Chuck has more than 4 inches on Kenny barefoot. The video is still up on NBA.com. Kenny was listed at 6-3 and I've seen him listed as low as 6-2 so I'll say 6-2 max and probably closer to 6-1 1/2. Either way that video shows Barkley over 6-5 and maybe a legit 6-6.
I personally have always doubted Chuck to be over 6-5 but everyone check out that video. It's very surprising. Chuck towers over Kenny in his barefeet.

That's what it seemed like on the commercials. I only caught about half of Inside The NBA and they didn't stand next to eachother.
If I had to guess Chuck's height by pictures and not factor in all of the height claims then honestly I'd guess him over 6'5" and maybe closer to 6'6".
However because of the height claims of 6'4.5", 6'4 5/8", 6'4.75", 6'4 7/8" ect. It makes it more complicated and so does the picture where he looks about half an inch shorter than Jordan.

I honestly don't know how to explain Barkley's height. He claims 6'4.5" and 6'4.75" and Sports Illustrated claims he measured 6-4 5/8 so all of those heights are in the same range but he can look quite a bit taller than that at times. Then again as you mentioned he can also look about 6'4.5" but I can't explain Chuck's height.
I am sure about many players height but not Barkley's height. If I were to measure Barkley myself I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he came out at 6'4.5" or 6'6". I really have no clue.

"Excuse me but I don`t believe that nor Duncan or Malone where better Power Forwards or Better Players than Barkley."
I disagree with you strongly on the Malone matter. Even at the age he was 40, he still managed to iron out 20 points per game and 8 rebounds, more than Barkley could do at the age of 35. Also, Malone had by far better conditioning, going to training camp oftentimes with a 2.6% body fat.

Good question Duhon it's impossible to answer because Chuck has been saying it for so long. That seems like a rhetorical question though. Barkley claimed 6'4.5" back in 1992 and has claimed 6'4.75" several times since. Sports Illustrated says he measured 6-4 5/8 but aside from a 1993 NBA Finals picture with Jordan Chuck always looks tall. Another case of that is patrick Ewing who claimed 6'9" but aside from a picture with Shaq where Ewing looks only 6'9" and a picture with mutombo where he looks 6'10" Ewing has always looked 6'11" or 7'0" and nobody questioned his height before that claim. I watched Ewing for years in NY and while people always joked about Hakeem Olajuwon being a few inches under 7 feet nobody said the same about Ewing.
Kobe claimed he was only 6-4 too but his wife says she measured him 6-4 3/4

BARKLEY is 6.4 feet and 5/8 (6.4 feet = 1.95072 meters) + 5/8 = 1.965875
MAGIC was 6.8, but had long arms that could make him seem 6.9

JT's March 11th post has a dream team pic where magic johnson looks 6'8" or 6'9" next to 7' David Robinson and Patrick Ewing. Weird! And Barkley looks taller than Jordan.

Charles Barkley quote about his height from a June 28, 1992 interview with the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
Barkley sees at least one similarity with 76ers rookie Clarence Weatherspoon, Barkley's heir apparent. "We both lie about our height," he said. "I'm 6-4 1/2 and 252 pounds, and he is exactly the same size as me."

Tim Duncan is a center. He has spent the majority of his minutes at C since Robinson retired and really the twin towers lineup was just like playing two centers the same way the Warriors or Suns sometimes play 3 guards.
As for Stockton being the 2nd greatest PG ever? Well Isiah and Magic are hands down better.
I agree Barkley is better than Malone by the way. Karl is only 6'8" though.

Excuse me but I don`t believe that nor Duncan or Malone where better Power Forwards or Better Players than Barkley.
Barkley`s may not be liked due to his silly looking body and loud mouth but his stats show a more All-Around Game than Malone ever will especially in the Play-Offs where it counts: Superior in Assits, Steals, Blocks, Rebounds, Offensive Rebounds, FG% and ofcourse he could shoot 3-Pointers or big shots in the clutch. He did not have a Jhon Stockton (Probaly Second Greaest PG Ever) to pass directly for him to score so that is why he got 1 basket less than Malone.
Then again Barkley played against teams in the East Confrence where it was much harder for PF

I don't know what to believe about Barkley anymore. He looked a tiny bit shorter than Jordan who i said to be 6-4 7/8" but almost every other time he looks 6'6" or taller.

I'm shocked Barkley looked that close to 6'9" Chris Webber's height although C-Webb was slouching a lot.
That's 6'2" (per Editor Rob) Ray Romano to Barkley's immediate right. Barkley was at a college football game this past year standing next to 6'2" Marcus Allen (whom I've seen in person) and had him by around 4 inches.

Im sorry but to state it again the idea of chuck actually being vain enough to wear lifts? lol come on. like he would actually need them. Charles downplays his height all the time. I would not be suprised if he's actually quite close in height to his 6'6" listing.

How do you explain that JT. Either Barkley is close to 6'7" or he wears lifts. Only 2 explanations because Shaq towered over Magic Johnson more than he did standing next to Barkley.
Barkley doesn't just make Shaq look shorter than his measured and stated 7'1" but also makes Magic and Nique look shorter. If Barkley is 6'4.5" or 6'4.75" and not wearing lifts or big heels then Magic and Nique aren't any taller than 6'5" and that just isn't realistic.
Something is weird about Barkley's height. Wouldn't you all agree?

Sports Illustrated said Barkley measured 6-4 5/8 at the 1992 Olympics. Barkley claimed he was 6'4.5" back in 1992 and he has claimed to be 6'4.75" several times so he has been consistent. He is right between 6'4.5" and 6'5". Jordan had about .25" on Barkley.
Maybe so but Shaq is then under 7

The idea of lifts is pretty rediculous. A man his size regardless would not need to wear lifts. Also why wear lifts if your apparently giving out your real height? that would be like tom cruise admitting to everyone he's 5'7" while still wearing his lifts. If barkley was claiming he was 6'7" that would be another story. barkly i think honestly downplays his height. Was barkley wearing lifts on the court too?

Barkley must wear lifts now.
He has claimed to be 6'4.5" and 6'4.75" a few times. Chuck is also said to have measured 6-4 5/8. That measurement makes sense here next to 6-4 7/8 Jordan.

I'm sure that Barkley got measured 6'7"-6'8" with shoes on these two photos above. In my opinion, Barkley is 6'6" at least. Taller than Michael Jordan anyway.

Its possible Barkley downplays his height. I think he relishes the underdog role for his position as a power forward. It makes what he did seem more impressive if he was 6'4" as opposed to 6'6" even. Barkley im sure is closer to 6'6" than 6'4". He is significantly taller than 6'3 3/4" dwyane wade. He usually only looks about an inch shorter than magic johnson who is the least a little above 6'7".

I always saw barkley taller or same height as Jorda. Never understood why is listed lower than Jordan throughout their careers. Barkley was an incredible rebounder and a phenomenon looking at his physique. The man was overweight most of his career but still had an incredible leap. He was considered quite small for being the rebounder he was... Well he never was that small. The man is close to 6'6" in my opinion and only his frame throw people off. Barkley at least 0.5 inch taller than Jordan.
