Someone can say they relied on the heights of such and such player to bet on something and if that information is false, the NBA could be held liable. It's silly, but that's probably why the NBA is doing it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleachkit Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 Glad they are measuring them barefoot. People on this board have actually made the argument that shoes should be part of the height, which is both ridiculous and moronic. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And guys will put lifts in their shoes to fake their real height when it comes to measurements. This is being done for gambling reasons but I am glad we can get authentic measurements for once. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shoe is not part of the human body. It's just an excuse for players to exaggerate their height. And the league is now taking barefoot heights. Any person with half a brain should understand that taking an accurate height requires the removal of ones shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you are directing that at the argument and not the poster but it is too close and people are naturally going to misconstrue that as being directed at them. Just use something less inflammatory to make your point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some shoes can add up to 2 inches in height. Without shoes, which I believe you've been clamoring for, you don't know how much taller John is than the others. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
