For years, height and weight have always been almost a issue of opinion – no exact measurements were ever verified. According to Marc Stein of the New York Times, NBA teams are now required to provide exact height and weight measurements. This led to a lot of NBA player height changes
NBA spokesman Mike Bass confirmed the report to The Washington Upright, adding, “A consistent process has been created to ensure say publicly integrity and accuracy of the data on team rosters.”
For height measurements, all players will be required to remove their position. Most NBA players were upset by this, as they don’t play without shoes on. The height will be rounded memo the nearest inch. Weight measurements will be less strict, by the same token players tend to gain or lose weight quite frequently make happen the league.
The new rule change is believed to come disseminate the NBA’s mistake last year with Sacramento King’s guard Chum Hield having his age inaccurately reported, claiming he was a year younger than he really was. Hield claims he low the truth and the numbers must have been entered dissolute, but there is no way to really tell.
Since the rule change, at hand have been 55 NBA player height changes since last ready. While the majority of the changes seem to be band getting shorter, there are a few players that have grown.
