The media guide heights and weights are all inflated.
That's one of the reasons the draft combine was invented.

Where Brandon Davies measured at 6'8.5" barefoot and 6'10" in shoes

exactly. Everyone has their shoes on when playing

So, we should weigh football players with all their gear on?

not Ricky Stansted. He played barefoot for the Ohio Wigglers in the 30's.

Do you really think Brandon Davies was more rule than exception?

I'd prefer to know how tall a guy is on the court, not in the shower

Shoes are not uniform and you are measuring height relative to othe players.

Why? Just bring both of them in for a workout and let them compete

Height isn't nearly as important as standing reach.

This I agree with.

Actually, I read an article about Brandon Davies that he measured taller

Is the NBA compound the same thing as a FEMA camp?

This is from a few years ago (obviously), but will give you an idea

Oh, Winder is in there too. He doesn't look real tall there either.

Most aren't standing fully straight
CoopDizz
1/7/14 11:37am
Sure, but it does give you a good idea.
jdub

A decent idea
CoopDizz
1/7/14 11:39am
Not really. We're arguing about an inch or two. Standing straight could make up

Very tough to use pictures like this where some are closer to the camera.

Yeah right. 5'11 and 6'3?

Kevin Garnett is reportedly seven feet straight up
CoopDizz
1/7/14 11:46am
I believe that. I know they said the same about KD that he just doesn't want to
southernfriedcougar
1/7/14 11:54am
Bill Walton the same thing. Didn't want to be known as a 7-footer
HootnHoller
1/7/14 3:04pm
How tall do you think they are then?

Charles Barkley - 6'3" NBA Hall of Fame power forward with rebound records.

He's more like 6'4 1/2 inflated to 6'6
southernfriedcougar
1/7/14 12:16pm
I've heard 6'4" in big soled shoes, but still...

Mr Bassman was confusing JD Falslev with Cody Hoffman

Haha Mr Bassman is flat out wrong.
