[Annoyed] NBA player measurements are still a joke

[The Rebel]

I choose to believe that Sengun grew two inches since euroleague which ended a few weeks ago, idc about your reality

When he was playing against Jokic this summer, he was clearly shorter than Jokic, couple of inches and Jokic is 6"11. Measurements are often inflated.

Jokic doesn't look that tall to me

You need to look again, a lot of games he is the tallest player on the court.

My middle son is a legit 6'4". I told him that if he was in the NBA, he'd be 6'6" minimum.

Better question… why is it continually so difficult for the NBA to be honest.

Best question: why does anyone here care if a guy is listed at 6'11" or 7'0"?

Because people do. When you have half of the league honest and the other half not, it's harder to make useful comparisons.

And you assume it's only an inch.

Well one thing is abundantly clear; I obviously need to upgrade my footwear collection.
Because I don't have ANY sneaks that add nearly 2 inches to my height.

Eric Gordon weighs 238 pounds?!?! That is way too heavy for a shooting guard

Super Power Guard.

Rockets published updated roster measurements and it's obvious players are being measured in shoes again.

Read on Twitter

You have guys like Nwaba, Burke, Chriss who didn't get new measurements, so they have their without shoe measurements posted alongside players listed in shoes which irritates the hell out of me. Eric Gordon gets weight updated from 215 to 238 despite looking exactly the same, showing his real weight hasn't been updated in years.

I don't know how unfeasible it is, but with such a wealthy league, and with them promoting gambling these days amongst other things, would be nice to have the NBA send people to the training camps to do measurements with actual standards.

What is wrong with being measured in shoes. They play in shoes.
