His official measurements were done before the draft, both with and without sneakers. Someone can locate them. Those are accurate.

I don't think official measurements are necessarily accurate.  If memory serves me correctly, Charles Barkley was listed at 6-8 when he came into the league, which is 3-5 inches off. 

I don't know exactly how short he is, but at times I've thought he looked shorter than Pierce, who is 6-6 to 6-7.  Regardless, Baby's short arms and nonexistent leaping skills make him play much smaller than whatever his height is.

3-5 inches off?

so Charles is either 7'1 or 6'11?

or do you mean he's 6'5 to 6'3?

Just curios, not trying to be a wise guy, i always put him at about 6'9 or 6'10 at the very best.

I don't know if I did that image right, but he looks shorter than the 6-6 MJ right there. 

I did some research around the web, and didn't find anything concrete other than wikipedia stuff, but some of that stuff said that his latest book said that he is really only 6-4 1/2.  Apparently he was last listed as 6-6 in the league; however, though I can't find it, I remember him being listed at 6-8 when he first came in the league. 

Anyone have anything more on this?

Just anecdotal, but essentially EVERYONE who's met him or played against him thinks 6'6 would be generous.
