Love the way Rafferty posts up & ‘feels’ the pressure on one hip or the other and spins away from it. That’s the way my Dad taught me to play inside. Worked great as a 6’0” 8th grader...not quite so well as a 6’2” high schooler in basketball-crazy NC...even with a much bigger body, FUBeAR still got ‘packed’ regularly. 6’8” would have been SWEET.
Charles Barkley could do it with the elite at only 6’4” though. I know his bio says he’s 6’6”. I was fortunate enough to have dinner and spend an evening with Mr. Barkley quite a few years ago...honestly, I don’t think he was much taller than FUBeAR. I’m ‘giving him’ 6’4”. BTW - he was hilarious AND a perfect gentleman the entire evening.

Addendum - Ha...I just looked it up...seems his good buddy, Tiger Woods (and others), agree with FUBeAR’s assessment... “[When] Barkley questioned [Tiger] Woods' listed height of 6-foot-2, Woods responded by saying, "every program said you were 6-6. you're no more than 6-4 on a good day."
