So the 6'7 vs. 6'8 thing can be settled, and collective knowledge increased... and other arguments can be squashed; When the NBA does its combine, they measure a player with and w/o sneakers on. An official players height is listed with sneakers on. So, Sweetney is really 6'7, but listed at 6'8... as is done with ALL NBA players. Allan Houston is 6'5 without his sneakers. Charles Oakly is 6'8 without his sneakers, etc...The media sometimes gets this confused. So officially Sweetney is 6'8. This is consistent with all heights in the NBA, and as they have been currently and historically known. FYI.

That's pretty interesting. I kinda thought it the teams listed the heights and weights of players, and therefore had some room for creative embellishment.

Now that I think about it, that sort of thing wouldn't make any sense anyway. It's not like these teams/players are that unfamiliar with eachother that adding an inch on paper would change a game plan.

i thought that they all lied about there height and age

to my knowledge there's only one player that leaves question about height. kg. they say he's taller than what he's listed at. and ofcourse there's question about our very own dikembe motumbo's age. good luck decifering that.
