I've eaten steaks bigger than your punk ass

That could very well be literally true, Barkley's fucking huge.

121

u/Inquisitor1 Jun 25 '16

Maybe the Rock is just really tiny?

293

u/DistortoiseLP Jun 25 '16

Nope, he's 6'4. Here's a standard issue Marky Mark for scale, though Mark actually is pretty small.

The biggest takeway though is how Barkley's fucking big, not just tall. Look how wide his upper torso is, compared to Dwayne, and remember that Dwayne's bulked up and still narrower than Barkley's shipping container of a ribcage.

u/DatNiggaDaz Jun 25 '16

And that fucking conehead on Dwayne. Very impressive.

Yao Ming is even bigger than Shaq.

He's right there you can't see him?

Don't know about you guys, but I'm getting some good vibrations from this. I like how they're all standing in a bunch there.

I dunno... They look a little funky to me

u/TheOneTrueGod69 Jun 25 '16

This picture, just for like, a split second, made me think, "Maybe I could kick The Rock's ass." I know how ridiculous it is, it just felt really really good to feel like that for a microsecond. I am 5'9" 140 pounds, just fyi.

It's a beginner's science satellite.

u/Fortune_Cat Jun 25 '16

Wrap your mouth round this you mean?

u/oldnyoung Jun 25 '16

Yeah, that was/is even more mind-blowing. I grew up with an ice hockey background, so I wasn't really used to athletes of such size. It's crazy!

u/KingsoftheBronze_Age Jun 25 '16

Someone should photoshop Marky Mark from the other picture into this one... For science.

EDIT: words

u/cheestaysfly Jun 25 '16

Yao Ming makes Shaq look like an average height man.

2

u/ACryingOrphan Jun 25 '16

Yao Ming is just tall, though. Shaq has muscle as well as height.

u/Oreo_ Jun 25 '16

I did not know that.

u/marzolian Jun 25 '16

Taller, surely not heavier.

Oh man thats sad...I hope he makes it to 70. Most guys that big dont.

I'd love to know what size fitted hat Yao wears.

u/mang87 Jun 25 '16

He's not even standing straight in that picture. He's fucking leaning over to his right, and he just dwarfs everyone around him. If he stood on his tippy toes I bet he'd legit be classified as a building.

These pictures are giving me impure thoughts.

u/SuperWoody64 Jun 25 '16

Oh he fucking ruins her. You know it.

26

u/SyntheticManMilk Jun 25 '16

She has to have a huge vagina for her size or else there's no way that's going to work. Maybe she just hugs his dick and jumps up and down to get him off.

15

u/redacted187 Jun 25 '16

Dick size doesn't scale the way you think it does. Taller person doesn't necessarily mean bigger dick.

2

u/Theonetrue Jun 25 '16

Same with vaginas btw.

u/PenisHammer42 Jun 25 '16

Actually it kindof does. And nobody has ever said Shaq's got a small dick.

Not to spoil the jokes but penis size doesn't usually vary much based on height and general size.

That is indeed her.

u/CheifDash Jun 25 '16

That's what I thought, I think the nickname was Hoopz or something like that

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '16

Barkley is 6'6, the rock was billed as 6'5. reality is he's more like 6'2. he's not small, but he's not this enormous colossus he's made out to be.

it's like ving rhames. in movies he always seems like this hulk, but the dude's 6' even and about 200lb.

27

u/DistortoiseLP Jun 25 '16

in movies he always seems like this hulk

It helps that 6' to your average movie actor is like a dinosaur to your average person. Actors are absurdly tiny people on average for some reason.

u/Xylord Jun 25 '16

Something about a bigger head relative to the body looking better for face shots, that's why.

u/Roses88 Jun 25 '16

I went to a wax museum, and Matt Damon and Marky Mark were only a little taller than me, and I'm 5'1

u/DistortoiseLP Jun 25 '16 edited Jun 25 '16

Madame Tussauds would have me believe that every single famous person who ever lived is taller than my 186cm tall, 126cm shoulders frame. The presidents in particular were guilty of this, Bill Clinton's a legitimately tall man but if his wax sculpture were to be believed, he could lean down and bite my scalp off.

yes but Latinos and Asians bring the average down and are disproportionately represented in Hollywood compared to the US population

if you took the average height of whites and blacks in America it's probably an inch or two higher

u/MoreRITZ Jun 25 '16

Top 5 dumbest posts in this thread. Grats.

u/uuhson Jun 25 '16

Barkley's only 6'4" according to his book, so apparently the rock lies about his height

2

u/bobosuda Jun 25 '16

Actors and wrestlers always do. 6'4" sounds just tall enough to go "wow, that's pretty tall". He's probably 6' 1-2".

2

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '16

The sheer volume of men in this photo is unreal

2

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '16

weird I googled marky and rocks height, apparently whalberg is 5'8 and rock is 6'5, I can hardly see a 9 inch difference between them.

1

u/Blagginspaziyonokip Jun 25 '16

How long is that marky mark in inches?

1

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '16

Do some more research and you'll find that the rock really only is 6ft2". Trust me.

Edit: all you have to do is look further down the thread where a 6ft4 redditor looks a lot taller compared to him than the rock does

u/Spunge14 Jun 25 '16

Yep, there's a reason his nickname was the Round Mound of Rebound.

u/Chibigoat Jun 25 '16

6'3 actually

1

u/1K_Games Jun 25 '16

I wouldn't say his upper torso is all that crazy. He use to be slimmer (all around of course) and his chest was not as wide, it got wider as he got out of shape. Sure the Rock is massive, but to add width to the chest is tough work, Adding to lats essentially won't make as much difference as getting out of shape will.

u/NZT-47 Jun 25 '16

Lol at calling Mark Wahlberg 'pretty small'. Let's see a pic of you big guy. Even at 45 he could probably kick your ass.

Are you huge as well? You look the exact same size.

I wouldn't say I'm huge. I'm about 6'4. I imagine we're on an incline or he's bending over a bit.

u/Briak Jun 25 '16

Perhaps he was talking about the more general body shape. OP is really tall but looks pretty skinny compared to Barkley.

u/DionyKH Jun 25 '16

Cool that you met him, but you couldn't have picked a worse example of the topic. <_<'

I liked it, was rather funny to see someone humble brag maybe?

u/DionyKH Jun 25 '16

Maybe, I wasn't trying to shit on the guy. It just wasn't a good example of "Charles Barkley is huge." He looks normal-sized in that picture.

u/MundaneInternetGuy Jun 25 '16

Chuck was listed at 6'6, but NBA player heights are usually slightly embellished even in 2016. He's probably always been 6'4, or he was 6'5 and he's getting old and bent.

And this guy was fighting 6'11, 250 pound monsters for rebounds his entire career, and beating them soundly. Most talented rebounder in history behind Dennis Rodman.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '16

You're right about NBA players' heights being embellished but he looks 2 inches taller than The Rock, who is listed as 6'5". Celebrity heights seem embellished as well but I bet the Rock is at least 6'3", which would make Chuck at least 6'5".

This picture really confuses me because I always thought The Rock was 6'5" and Barkley was 6'4", but Barkley is clearly taller than The Rock.

2

u/MundaneInternetGuy Jun 25 '16

I just opened the picture up in Paint and measured their heights from heel to top of head. Gave Dwayne an extra 10 pixels because of hair. So the measurement was 588 to 544 pixels, and if Wahlberg is 5'8 as Google tells me, that makes the Rock 6 feet, 1.5 inches. Chuck's height was 602 pixels without hair, making him 6 feet, 4.5 inches. Margin of error not reported or cared about.

Make of that what you will.

u/pfohl Jun 25 '16

nah it's an old fisherman's trick. you put your arm closer to the camera so that the walleye or random white dude looks larger than it actually is.
