Re: eal Signature moves: Charles Barkley the Gorilla Dunk!
Great thread. That "epitome of a Gorilla dunk" is one of my favorite plays ever. So much raw power.
It's a shame there isn't that much video of Barkley on YouTube.

He has always been been extremely honest about being measured w/o shoes the many times the subject has come up in interview. The lowest number I've heard measured was 6-4 and 5/8ths w/o shoes in the 1992 Olympics and the highest was an even 6-5 w/o shoes. Seeing as how peoples height fluctuates a little the few fractions of an inch difference makes sense, and it also lines up with when he stands along side other players who measured very similarly (MJ, 6-4 and 7/8ths)
Barkely is "about" 6-5 w/o shoes. And with the advent of super thick 1990's shoe designs he's also gonna be roughly 6-6 with shoes on for those that care to guess his in-shoes figure.
6-3 , he gets shorter and shorter as time goes on
yeah my fault..I read his book and he said he was no taller then 6 4"...
I know there has been talk of his real height for years...I thought he was 6 3" - 6 4" with shoes...
but 6'3" and 6'4" is not that big of difference... @acting like calling Barkley 6 3" is so wrong.

It's nothing personal I'm only laughing cause ur not the only one who has underrated Barkleys height on ISH - im grouping what you said with what others on ISH have said the past few months
There are barkley threads and player measurement threads that have revealed Barkley to be (6-4.63, 6-4.75, or 6-5) w/o shoes, pick one - they are all probably correct due to minor height variations in people throughout a given day/lifetime.
In spite of threads with sources for his actual height somebody always still manages to undersell his height in other random threads by calling him 6-4 (ignoring that he was actually closer to 6-5). If his book says 6-4 than now these underrated figures are starting to make sense - that's probably the source of the problem, because Barkley probably meant 6-4 the same way Bill Russell means 6-9 when he refers to himself (Bill Russell was 6-9 and 5/8ths w/o shoes... which is 6-10 to most people... but Russell just called himself 6-9 and dropped the decimal altogether instead of rounding up)

well two things Barkley has said...that stand out.
" He said he is no taller then 6 - 4""
" He said he always rounds up"
take that as what you will...
people lie about thier height all the time....

6-3 , he gets shorter and shorter as time goes on
6-4 is still pretty short.
