What does 6.5 Feet represent?
6.5 feet (1.981 m, or 198.12 cm) is well above average adult-male height in nearly every population worldwide and the threshold many US professional basketball player profiles hit before being labelled "tall even by NBA standards." Converted to metric the figure is 1.981 m, which sits just below the 2-metre round mark European basketball federations publish on player rosters. It is also the reference height for many US-built heavy-duty step-ladders' working-platform clearance and the upper edge of the standard US prefabricated interior doorway height of 6 ft 8 in, where the metric 2.03 m equivalent appears on imported European door hardware specifications.
