How tall is Grant Hill? To me 6`8
Here next to Charles Barkley. Hill is Clearly atleast 4 inches taller.
Grant is closer to the camera than Charles (Grant's right arm in front of Charles left), the picture is taken at an angle and pointing up. Using a picture like that isnt very accurate, especially when there's a picture in this thread that shows Charles is a minimum of 6"6 in shoes.

Steve Nash is 6'1"
Hakeem Olajuwon is 6'10"
Patrick Ewing is probably 6'11" and change
When my dad met Ewing around '92, he said he seemed 6'10".

Re: Real NBA Height
I regards to that Shaq/Amare pic,remember that Shaq is 7'2 in shoes. It would be reasonable to estimate that the difference between Shaq and Amare in that pic is about 4 inches, putting Amare at about 6'10 in shoes, about 6'9 w/o.

Yeah but how tall is your dad? You also must remember that Ewing slouches. Hakeem probably isn't under 6'10" so Ewing has to be atleast around 6'11".

I'm not ruling out Amare being 6'9" legit but the difference looks to be more than 4 inches. I've heard Shaq is closer to 7'3" in shoes though. That'd explain it.

Sorry Man but How tall Do You Think Danny Manning was ?
To me 6`10...Some Stupidly say 6`9 (so that would make Charles 6`3)
Here in this Video You See Him next to Charles Barkley and....
Manning is Clearly atleast 6 inches taller. Check The Video and See For Yourself
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8OfFDN7CnE
Barkley aint Close to 6`6 he is slightly under 6`5 as he has been measured such as the Barcelona Olympics: 1.95 mt (6`5 = 1.9558)

The Olympics generally knock off 1.25" off of everyone. Scottie Pippen was listed at 6'5.75".

Plus as I mentioned Ewing slouches. IMO 6'11" or 6'11.5" is a perfectly reasonable estimate for Ewing judging by how much taller he is than 6'10" Hakeem and 6'9.5" Alonzo Mourning. He did oddly look 6'9ish next to Shaq and 6'10ish next to Mutombo though.
Ewing probably was slouching when my dad met him, so 6'11" is probably right. My dad is generally good with guessing heights. He said Jordan was 6'5", Rodman 6'6", and Pippen 6'7".
