If you don’t believe those numbers, might as well not believe any measurement at all for anything.

I believe my eyes when hes on the court and he's not 6'7. It will be easy to put to bed once the season starts and we see him next to some guys again.
He's probably around 6'5 in a half
Shouldnt this put it to bed?

6'5.75" barefoot measurement at the combine. Isnt that a more reliable source than trying to judge a player's actual height from your living room watching him on TV where guys are slouching, guys are at different distances and angles from the camera, wearing shoes with different amount of padding and so on? And its not like that height is not them pushing down on his hair or anything, the dude had his hair down at the combine.
Like what are we thinking? He was on his tippy toes at the combine when he got measured and no one cared? I just dont see how we can get anything more legit than barefoot height measured at the combine.
Do you think you’re the first one that made this argument?
