I can name hundreds of occasions where the NBA was far FAR off on height. Hakeem was listed at 7 foot for the first 7 years of his career by NBA measurements. He mysteriously lost 2 inches (maybe more) by the time he retired. Barkley was listed at 6'6''. He was 6'4''. Ever seen Magic and Larry stand side by side? They were both listed at 6'9''. Either Larry was really 6'11 or Magic was really 6'7''. Really Magic said toward his retirement at his last All Star game in Orlando that he was closer to 6'8''. Larry HAD TO BE 6'10", I remember he was just as tall as Hakeem (then 'Akeem') side by side. I could go on and on...
TIM DUNCAN was 7 foot tall for the first 8 years of his career. What does the NBA list him at today???? ...6'11".
POINT IS: Don't let an inch or two in height because of what the NBA says discourage a pick. A baller is a baller...pick him!!!!
