    I will be the first to admit im not a fan of the conventional Nba methods. Such as its not good to have a scoring guard. Or all that talk about players being undersized. I understand that players dont pan out some of the time but its not true for all. Jason Terry for an example. Idk what he was projected as when he was in college but jason terry plays shooting guard in the nba and i think he does a good job at it. But in todays nba he would be considered a point guard prospect and an undersized 2 guard. Again players can defy projections. Also charles barkley was 6 foot four post player but he obviously had no problem playing ball did he. My point in this is i wish people wouldnt knock a player or that players wouldnt get bashed for being a certain way. If u can score you can score bottom line

    He was listed 6’6 but the truth of the matter was he was 6’4. You know the NBA likes to embellish when it comes to height.

    barkley has been offcially measured at 6-5 1/4 without shoes. He has confirmed that he is 6-5 without shoes. SO by NBA standards where everyone is listed by height with shoes, he was 6-6
