The NBA is mandating precise height and age measurements to be disclosed

Height measurements will now be taken with shoes off.
This will be interesting that virtually all players will now be listed as shorter than they were.

About f-ing time.  Watch everybody suddenly shrink 2" ( 1 1/2" for the sneakers and then the rounding up to the next inch).  The best part is all the people who talked about how 6'9" Bill Russell would be a SF in today's league finding out that roday's 6'9" SFs are about the same as the old school 6'7" SFs.
