During his playing career, the mighty Shaquille O’Neal dominated the NBA. Big Shaq is over seven feet tall. Interestingly, six feet isn’t even the average height of the NBA. The average height is six feet and seven inches. Jimmy Butler accurately slots into that bracket. Currently, Butler is six feet and seven inches. But he was an inch more, till 2019.
The NBA decided to change its rules in the year. To achieve accuracy, a player’s height would be measured without shoes. That is the main reason why he lost an inch as per the official NBA records.
