      A good link article.

      When the NBA held its annual pre-draft camp in Chicago earlier this month, even the studliest prospects got the raw-recruit treatment. "They pinch and poke and prod you," says out-to-pasture studhorse Bill Walton, who has long insisted that he's an honest 6-foot-11. "Then they put the calipers on you. It's like submitting yourself to one of the Big Five accounting firms."


      The Timberwolves' Kevin Garnett, though widely thought to be 7-foot, is listed at 6-11 at his insistence. Why? He doesn't want any coach to get the notion to stick him at center.

      North Carolina had a parade of not-quite-7-footers, including Brad Daugherty (6-11 3/4 in the press guide) and Warren Martin (officially 6-11 1/2), until Matt Wenstrom matriculated at Chapel Hill in 1993 at 7-1. Why didn't Dean Smith round up for all those years? According to one pale-blue source, the Tar Heels coach long feared that a listing at 7-foot carried with it the pressure of outsized expectations. With Wenstrom he apparently had a change of heart, and Smith went on to list Kevin Salvadori, Eric Montross and Serge Zwikker as 7-footers.

      If Earl Boykins hadn't billed himself as 5-8 coming out of high school, no one would have recruited him. He is really 5-5, but his coach at Eastern Michigan, Ben Braun, wouldn't let him be listed at anything below 5-7, lest Braun's peers think Braun -- the only coach to offer Boykins a scholarship -- was nuts. Only as a senior in Ypsilanti did Boykins feel he could 'fess up to his true size.

      If they aren't smoked out at the pre-draft camp, padded heights get exposed at USA Basketball team trials. It was in the run-up to the 1992 Olympics that the world finally learned what the cognoscenti had long suspected -- that Charles Barkley was more like 6-4 5/8 than 6-6, and Magic Johnson closer to 6-7 than 6-9. Likewise, it was a measurement in 1988 before the Games (citius, altius -- but not unduly altius) that exposed Danny Manning, who had been a 6-11 freshman at Kansas, as a 6-9 NBA draftee-to-be.

      So Magic is closer to 6'7"...that could mean 6'7 1/2" or 6'7" flat I don't know. Barkley was measured at 6'4 5/8" according to Sports Illustrated and Brad Daugherty is 6'11 3/4" I am going to look for the 1992 measurements.



      http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/bas...rchive/831128/

      Jordan, who is 6' 6 1/2", 201 pounds, emerged last season -- only his second on the varsity -- as merely the finest all-around amateur player in the world. "There is one phenomenon in college ball," says Tom Newell, a scout for the Golden State Warriors and the radio color man for the University of Virginia, "and his name is Michael Jordan."


      This article has Jordan at 6'6 1/2(I assume in shoes) making him 6'5 1/2 barefoot. The Olympics knocked 2 inches off everyone in the 1992 Olympics.

      http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=CSTB&p_theme=cstb&p_action=sear ch&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0EB373C440C2CF58&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date&s_trackval=GooglePM

      Actual heights of the members of the Team USA Olympic basketball were released, and they're lower than those in the NBA Register.

      Player List Actual

      Charles Barkley 6-6 6-4

      Larry Bird 6-9 6-7

      Clyde Drexler 6-7 6-5

      Patrick Ewing 7-0 6-10

      Magic Johnson 6-9 6-7

      Michael Jordan 6-6 6-4

      x-Christian Laettner 6-11 6-9

      Karl Malone 6-9 6-7

      Chris Mullin 6-7 6-5

      Scottie Pippen 6-7 6-5

      David Robinson 7-1 6-11

      John Stockton 6-1 6-0


      Obviously that is BS because there is no way Karl Malone is 6'7", Robinson is 6'11", Bird is 6'7" or Pippen is 6'5". For the dream team here are my best estimates

      Michael jordan 6'4 - 6' 4 3/4
      Larry Bird 6'9"
      Magic Johnson 6'7 1/2"
      Scottie Pippen 6'7"
      Patrick Ewing 6'9 3/4"

      Some listed heights form the 1988 Olympics

      David Robinson 7'0" 226
      Mitch Richmond 6'4" 222
      Dan Majerle 6'5" 224

          Larry Johnson 6'5 1/2
          Dikembe Mutombo 7'1 228



          Denver: Georgetown center Dikembe Mutombo, 7-1, 245. A shot-blocking, rebounding specialist who should soar even higher in the thin mountain air

          Based on interviews with team and league officials, and some guesswork, here's how the first round of tonight's NBA draft might unfold: 1. Charlotte: UNLV forward Larry Johnson, 6 feet 7, 250 pounds. If there's only one ''franchise'' player in the draft, it has to be this one. Never mind if he's only 6-5 barefoot. They'll give him shoes.

          Dikembe Mutombo, Denver - He weighs only 228 but he's 7-1 and athletic

          Here is pretty much a cleaned up version

                Some random heights admitted by players

                Kevin Garnett 6'11 1/4"

                KG told Craig Sager in an interview he is 6'11 1/4" Many people have said he is over 7 feet but that is not true because as you can see 7'1" Shaquille O'Neal has about 2 inches on him.





                Dennis Rodman 6'6"

                Dennis has stated this many times and even started getting listed at 6'6" late in his career

                http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/bas...man/index.html

                http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/player...e?statsId=0291

                Ben Wallace 6'7"

                Ben has admitted he is 6'7" many times including to ESPN although he can look as short as 6'5"

                [IMG][/IMG]

                Ben and 6'9 3/4" Rasheed Wallace

                http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2436694

                John Starks 6'2"

                Starks admitted this in Slam Magazine

                Hakeem Olajuwon 6'10"

                Hakeem has said he is 6'10" barefoot and 6'11" in shoes and he was even listed at 6'10" sometimes He is struggling at 6'10" here with 7'1" Shaq but 6'10" sounds right.





                http://www.databasebasketball.com/pl...lkid=OlajuHA01

                Patrick Ewing said he is only 6'9" although he might have been joking

                http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200...st_person0314/

                MUTOMBO: [Sipping a virgin strawberry daiquiri] I like your restaurant, Yao. It's made for 7-footers and guys like Patrick Ewing, who is really 6'9". [Ewing has always been listed as 7 feet.]

                EWING: Hey, I may be 6'9", but I'm a bad 6'9". And what about you? When I first met you, you told me you were from Zaire.











                Ewing with Mutombo(7'1"), Starks(6'2") and Mourning(6'9") Ewing's wingspan always looked enourmous

                  Here are some of the older legends barefoot heights

                  Wilt Chamberlain 7'1 1/16" in his prime and he eventually shrunk to 7'0 1/2"

                  http://espn.go.com/classic/biography...lain_wilt.html

                  "Wilt Chamberlain was always bigger than life, a mythic-like giant. At 7-foot-1 1/16, he was the most dominating offensive big man in basketball history."



                  Wilt measured 7'0 1/2" and weighed 327 pounds..he was already close to 50 though so he had shrunk about half an inch from the 7'1 1/16" he was in his prime.

                  Kareem Abdul Jabbar measured 7'1 5/8" without shoes in his second season with the Bucks in 1970. Bill Russell was 6'9 1/2" in his prime but is probably no more than 6'9" now.

                  Bill Walton was 6'11" in his prime maybe shorter now

                  When the NBA held its annual pre-draft camp in Chicago earlier this month, even the studliest prospects got the raw-recruit treatment. "They pinch and poke and prod you," says out-to-pasture studhorse Bill Walton, who has long insisted that he's an honest 6-foot-11. "Then they put the calipers on you. It's like submitting yourself to one of the Big Five accounting firms."

                  Some barefoot heights from the Olympics

                  1992 Olympics
                  Charles Barkley 6'4 5/8"
                  Karl Malone 6'8"
                  Magic Johnson 6'7 1/4"
                  John Stockton 6'0"
                  Clyde Drexler 6'5"

                  http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/ins.../20/hoop_life/

                  "If they aren't smoked out at the pre-draft camp, padded heights get exposed at USA Basketball team trials. It was in the run-up to the 1992 Olympics that the world finally learned what the cognoscenti had long suspected -- that Charles Barkley was more like 6-4 5/8 than 6-6, and Magic Johnson closer to 6-7 than 6-9. Likewise, it was a measurement in 1988 before the Games (citius, altius -- but not unduly altius) that exposed Danny Manning, who had been a 6-11 freshman at Kansas, as a 6-9 NBA draftee-to-be."

                  2000 Olympics
                  Ray Allen 6'3 1/2"
                  Shareef Abdur Rahim 6'7 1/2"
                  Allan Houston 6'4 3/4"
                  Vin Baker 6'9 3/4"
                  Jason Kidd 6'2 3/4"
                  Gary Payton 6'2 3/4"

                  1988
                  David Robinson 7'0"
                  Mitch Richmond 6'4"
                  Dan Majerle 6'5"
                  Danny Manning 6'9"

                  http://www.usabasketball.com/history/moly_1988.html

                  ]Former Cavs star center Brad Daugherty is 6'11 3/4" according to that Sports Illustrated article

                  "North Carolina had a parade of not-quite-7-footers, including Brad Daugherty (6-11 3/4 in the press guide) and Warren Martin (officially 6-11 1/2), until Matt Wenstrom matriculated at Chapel Hill in 1993 at 7-1. Why didn't Dean Smith round up for all those years? According to one pale-blue source, the Tar Heels coach long feared that a listing at 7-foot carried with it the pressure of outsized expectations. With Wenstrom he apparently had a change of heart, and Smith went on to list Kevin Salvadori, Eric Montross and Serge Zwikker as 7-footers."

                  Michael Jordan grew to 6'4 3/4 barefoot and 6'6 in shoes

                  Jordan, who is 6' 6 1/2", 201 pounds, emerged last season -- only his second on the varsity -- as merely the finest all-around amateur player in the world. "There is one phenomenon in college ball," says Tom Newell, a scout for the Golden State Warriors and the radio color man for the University of Virginia, "and his name is Michael Jordan."

                  http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/bas...rchive/831128/

                  Michael was 6'5" and only 190 pounds in 1982 at 19 years old

                  http://www.usabasketball.com/history/mfiba50_1982.html



                  This picture backs up Shaq at 7'1" and The Admiral at 7'0"

                            Dirk Nowitzki was measured at 6'10 in the 1998 NBA Draft at the age of 20 yrs.old. I do not know if he had grown an inch or 2 but definitely he is not a legit 7 footer.








                            7'6 Shawn Bradley, 6'11 Erick Dampier, 6'10 Dirk Nowitzki and 6'11 Calvin Booth




                            6'10 Dirk Nowitzki and 6'7 Ben Wallace ( Looks taller with his Afro)



                            6'10 Dirk Nowitzki and 6'1 Steve Nash



                            7'1 Dikembe Mutombo and 6'6 1/4 Tracy Mcgrady




                            6'10 Hakeem Olajuwon and 6'6 1/4 Tracy Mcgrady



                            Hakeem Olajuwon 6'10 and 7'5 Yao Ming

                            Tracy Mcgrady always looks like 6'6 1/4 every time i see him with taller NBA Players.



                            7'5 Yao Ming and 7'1 Shaquille O'neal

                              lol Lebron23 I keep finding these threads when I search pre-draft measurement. Anyway I'll help out a bit.

                              Michael and Kobe are actually close to 6'5" Jordan has 3 inches on Francis in that picture you posted.

                              Jordan is clearly taller than 6'4 5/8" Charles Barkley



                              Jordan is almost as tall as 6'5.5" Julius Erving



                              Jordan was 6'6 1/2" in shoes(no way his shoes are 1 3/4 inches).

                              Scottie Pippen grew from 6'1" to 6'7.5" and weighed 210 pounds when he entered the league. He has a 7'2" wingspan!

                              http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3kY1...elated&search=

                              Scottie Pippen- 6'7.5"
