When the players come to the NBA workouts and camps, they are measured precisely, so their accurate heights ARE KNOWN.
Their actual height often differs from their claimed or previously listed heights.
Here are some examples, but to start off let me NOTE
that Patrick O'Bryant WAS MEASURED at exactly 7'0"
and weighs exactly 260lb as listed.
Hopefully this will finally get a humble apology from Kirk wessler, who has argued for 2 years that he didn't think Patrick was a true 7-footer and always said he was actually 6'11".
I won't hold my breath waiting for said apology, though.
Here are some of the actual heights from the NBA folks:
Leon Powe 6-6 1/2' as opposed to the 6'8 he is listed at
