New NBA Height Rule Reveals The Truth
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 09. 2024
- The NBA has introduced a new rule that states every NBA team must send in the correct height for every player on their roster within the first week of the season. The height measurements are taken without shoes on. This severely changes the way some players are seen. Al Horford who was previously listed at 6'10 is shown to actually be 6'9 without shoes. You may think this isnt a big deal because players still wear shoes when they play. But the importance comes in when you look at the fact that players in the 60s took their height measurements without their shoes on. There is a common misconception that players in the 60s were short, in this video I use the new NBA rule changes to refute this view.
The videos used in the background are from Wilt Chamberlain Archive and House of Highlights.

I was dead wrong about Bagley being 6'8. He is still in fact 6'11.

Bagley isn’t 6’8 don’t believe the rumors online... He wasn’t even measured yet check his insta
Nick Facts. He just posted the shit. 🧪
I appreciate you bringing this to my attention, when the kings post his official height measurement I'll make sure to post it in the comments.
finally a guy that understands and speaks common sense about all time greats been able to play in the league today.
So true
Such a good arguement when you said if they were born in 1995 with all the same stuff was like if wilt was jumping abound the back board easily he would just be a beast if he did
there's a story about wilt making 20 out of 25 shots from half court and a video of him sinking threes.
4 in a row winning a 5 dollar bet no les. and from teh corner which i call a side shot, which is harder to make
the thing is the differences in heights are like 1 inch from the 60s compared to now
I've always thought that the average nba height back then and now, is that it meet half way. the guards and forwards now are almost as tall as their center which is mostly 6'9ish. Compared to traditional line up where center are the biggest guy on the team. Like 90s was packed of 6'10ish-7ft+ tall center but the guards are not as tall as today.

which means with shoes they are all over 7, in fact 6'10 with shoes could be considered 7 feet epdning on the shoes. but anyway wilt also played all tehse guys with far fewer temas, os if you take the ratio. well
"Thanos your way to the past" 😂
People are taller nowadays but if you take into account that shoes added on average between 1 & 2 inches then the height difference would be more like 2-3. A little more than what you stated but still not huge.
So,how tall was Magic Johnson? Because it sure wasn’t 6’9”!
Kareem and Wilt are STILL the two tallest "GREAT" players of all time. Both were taller than Shaq or even DRob, and Yao was Good but not Great.
When Peja Stojakovic was first drafted he was listed as 6’9 then later listed as 6’10. He’s taller than Bagley so I do believe he’s 6’8, when Bagley was being announced in their first preseason game he was announced as 6’8.
It doesn’t even matter since everyone is shorter than listed height.
They haven't measured his height dan
Dr Dickinson yea it is but all I’m saying is there’s no way he’s 6’11 when he’s shorter than Peja whose 6’10.
Good video....great players would be awesome in any era.
I'm 5'10without shoes and 5'11 with a vapormax shoe and I'm 14 I'm hoping to be 6 feet next year without shoes
Height is a big factor when it comes to Basketball man, hope you hit a mean growth spurt. Being tall makes balling out way easier lol. Thanks for watching the video.
Height doesnt matter
@@user-fl8ng9np7v it does in basketball
Chris Bosh at 6’11 without shoes what’s his real height because even KD is around 7’2 with shoes
Lmao no he isn't. KD is 6'10.5", that puts him at just over 7 foot in a basketball shoe with a thick sole.

So true my friend!
I wonder how tall wilt would be if he was still alive?
Bagley was clearly taller than LeBron
Thank you everyone for watching the video, I was recently informed that the Kings have not officially taken Marvin Bagley's height measurements, so the statement that Bagley is 6'8 may be false. I will post his official measurement under this comment when his height is taken again. Just keeping it real with yall. Thank you to Nick in the comment section for bringing this to my attention. Yall have a great day.
They would do well if they were 20 years old and you put them in todays nba they would still dominate 100%
Tbh IDGAF.. niggas hoop in shoes at the end of the day
Wish I could be taller to ball, I'm 5'7 and 13 but I'm asian :(
You will get there one day
ChikinWingz your pretty tall for 13 my guy
You never know man, Anthony Davis shot up like 9 inches in one year. Besides you got dudes like Isaiah Thomas balling out at 5'9. Just work on your skills man and let God sort out the rest.
ChikinWingz There are a lot of tall Asians. And you are pretty tall for your age you’ll grow even more when you hit puberty
That's the perfect height for a 13 y/o basketball player
2 or 3 inch difference isnt that much
Wilt wouldnt be as goated tho no one can avg 50pts today still would be good tho
Wilt is 7'1. Which means that Wilt is 7'3 with shoes. But yeah he wouldnt dominate today

What website can I see all there real heights?
Don't know exactly where, but in the next few days all the players real heights have to be reported to the NBA. So you should be able to find out soon.
I wish I could be taller, I’m 5’8, 14 and I’m Indian 😔
unknown I’m 16 and I’m 5’6😭
U 14 lil homie, dont worry about it. U still got about 4 more years to grow
@@AKFieldsTV more than 4 years
Kyrie is legitimately 5'10 barefoot. LeBron James is legitimately 6'5 barefoot. Add 3 inch basketball shoe lifts. Do the math.
Competition was weaker in the 60s-80s so the height comparison is irrelevant. Especially players in today’s league can do more than players in the past. Y’all need to realize that every generation gets better and better due to evolution and technology.
AlexGonz Old head? Man I’m 24 lol. And I never said players today weren’t better. As a matter of fact I made a caveat saying that all time greats in the 60s - 70s would have be given all the amenities players today are given AND time to learn the game and rule changes implemented today to still be great. And I talked about the level of competition related to the amount of teams in the video. I said that’s the only argument I could understand against players in the 60s and 70s. I provided a counter argument, but I still understand the validity of the competition argument.
As for players today being able to do more therefore being better, I disagree.
For Example: Jokic can do more than Shaq, Jokic is not better than Shaq.
Players today are allowed to do more. If you dropped today's players off in the past, the guards would be called for carrying/palming/traveling damn near every time they touched the ball. They'd be immediately benched for jacking up 30 footers in a league with no 3-point line. I could go on.
The rules have changed dramatically over the years. Therefore so has the play style. It doesn't just go one way, though. Yes, the players of the past would need to change their game to adapt to today's standards. Butt the same is true in reverse. The players of today would have to change their game to adapt to previous eras, too.
Is KAT better than hakeem bitch?
AlexGonz Evolution? In 40 years? Doesnt work like that dude ..
Wilt Chamberlain KAT ain’t even a top 5 Center in today’s NBA so that comparison is irrelevant you old head 🤣
No it isn’t 😂 the average height in the 50s was around 6”1 and now it’s 6”7 let’s take an inch off because of the shoes thing and now it 6”6 that’s a big height difference
I have to ask, where are you getting your info from? The average height of an NBA player has always been 6'4 and above. in the 60s it was 6'5 and above and its never dropped below 6'5 since the 60s.

Here you go bucko www.seatsmart.com/blog/history-of-the-nba-player/
[INV]RegalCrownX oh yea here www.seatsmart.com/blog/history-of-the-nba-player/
@@elchoppa2346 Reread the chart. The average height from 1950 to 1959 was 76 inches. 76 inches is 6 feet 4 inches. The average height in 1947 was 6'1, but thats 1947, not the 1950s.
And in the video I specifically said the 1960s and 1970s when talking about players. The average height in that era was 77 inches or 6'5. You can look at the chart you sent and it concurs with that statement.
