I think Michael Jordan was 6'06.00" in shoes. Barefoot he was between 6'04.75" and 6'05.25".

Rodman has Jordan by 2” in almost every pic their both in. If not two it’s awfully close. And Rodman admitted he’s 6’6” and change Scottie pippen backed this up saying 6’6” or so. Hard to see Jordan above 6’4.5 which would make him 6’5.75 in a pair of Nikes like he wears which is “a little under 6’6” like he claimed. A legit 6’5” or strong 6’5” wouldn’t look as Short next to Bird or him as he does

A legit 6’7.5 would actually have 3” on Jordan. Jordan is 6’4.5 like it was mentioned when he was drafted

@Soije: MJ has never been anything close to 6’6” barefoot. I believe he’s around my height 6’4 and change. 194cm maybe 6’4 1/2 at his lowest but no higher. People don’t realize how much height his sneakers give. I come down in the afternoon (6’4.25-.3) and can still be 197cm if I put a pair of his shoes on. Most people don’t even pay attention to shoes and they assume if someone is 6’5 1/2 in a shoe that they’re 6’5 barefoot (maybe 6’4.75 and round up) esp if they’re in a lower shoe.

Click Here this is a friend with MJ at Madame Tussauds. He's only 5'6" and said MJ was nowhere near his listed 6'6", but maybe 6'4" at best. Dwayne "The Rock"Johnson and Arnold Schwarzenegger were also nowhere near their listed heights according to him; more like 6'1"-2" and 5'10"ish, respectively, according to him, who is a shorty.
The only person who was larger than life was Shaq.

It's probably difficult to get a consistent measurement for the heights of basketball players. When they get out of bed he's as tall as they're going to be all day, and then they play a game where they jump in the air and land on a wooden floor for several hours. I'll bet they're taller before a game than they are in the middle of it.

Kareem has a longer than average face. Theres way more than just 14cm we can’t see the top of his head in the pic. If Kareem is 216cm even 214-215 that is 20cm he has on him

actually was 6’4 1/2 when he entered the league. That looks like his actual (afternoon height) too as he looks 6’4 to some 6’5 to others and looks right at that level with magic or bird or Rodman and is a hair shorter than kobe is

@Bard: i think around 6’4.5 that he measured when drafted is fair for MJ. Maybe pat riley was assessing a few mm under but today he still looks around 6’4.5 at his lowest which in almost anyone’s eyes even a more honest person will say he looks 6’5 because he edges out a 192cm guy who maybclaim 6’4. Most will give the benefit of the doubt although we folks here look to the cm lol. People don’t realize how tall that actually is. I know because I’m about that size myself at 6’4 and 1/4-3/8

Jordan didn’t lose an inch at 54 years old was never a full 6’5. He looked taller when he was young due to him being skinny

@Christian: well said because I’ve also met Vernon Davis and he’s a legit to strong 6’3”. He honestly didn’t look really noticeably taller than my 6’3” friend does but he’s younger and has better posture however if my buddy stands straight he looks about the same. Davis is 2.5 inches over obama in the pic they have. I’d have Obama at this age he’s at around 6’0.75. He isn’t much taller than trump honestly

Like i always suspect those celebrities look 1-2cm off on rob listed them in this site when i see them with Kobe Bryant look much proper legit 6'5 than those actors, musicians listed this site and even Barkley and Jordan give me impression of a flat 195cm or below sometimes when i think of Kobe. Anyway 6'4.5 is 194.4cm i would have believe it like you did for Barkley and Jordan lowest measurement and possible one of them had already drop a fraction off his peak now since they were both over 50.

@Junior: honestly could be 6’4.5 at his lowest. That won’t look any different than 6’4 5/8. Also could be Barkley’s lowest as he could’ve been 6’4 5/8 a couple hours earlier. I think the only one who looks legitimately 6’5” is Kobe Bryant out of those 3. He can look it almost always where he can make others look shorter at times

Jordan could be really a fraction taller than Charles Barkley. I remember i ever saw a link stated that Jordan measure 195.1cm - 6'4.8" w/o shoes and Barkley get announce in the Olympic that he was 194.6cm - 6'4.6" w/o shoes. Those height would have make Scottie Pippen a full 6'6.75" nothing more than that, it explain why Conan O'brien only look 192cm max with Pippen.

@Pedro: he is close to 6’6 with sneaks even if I hadn’t seen the link but you have to remember that is a life sized cutout of him. A 6’6” list just typically means they measure at least 6’5.5 in sneaks but They have one of Magic Johnson that is only 6’4” as well that I’ve seen. So those aren’t necessarily accurate m

Im not denying that that listing isn’t accurate, what I was saying is that it’s based on a forum post and not a copy of an NBA draft in a pdf document. I still think Jordan mostly looks 6’5” so 6’4 7/8ths is definitely believable, but if we could get an exact copy of NBA listings on a document (and not just a post on a forum board) it would be %100 official.

@Christian: I agree with everything you said that’s a morning height but that wasn’t at the olympics really (I don’t believe) think was at UNC I’ve seen before. I think the only two who were actually measured at the Olympics were Barkley and magic. But I can see him 6’4 7/8 an hour out of bed maybe 2 and dip down to 6’4.5-.6 maybe as a best case. Worst case prob is 6’4 3/8 at his lowest. But I’d call him 6’4.5 still

@MrTBlack: I agree with Rob that he isn’t a flat 6’4”. But people guessing him 6’4” range multiple ones prob have a better idea than rob does as rob hasn’t met him in person. And it’s no disrespect to rob but 1/2” difference 6’4.5 like Christian said isn’t easy to tell esp when it comes to Jordan having long proportions and being built like he is. Trust me I am guessed 6’5/6’6” regularly even in a casual shoe before I was. Jordan in a sneaker is gonna gain 1.2-1.4” in some cases so that’s putting him very near 6’6”. And that 6’4 7/8 was not at the olympics. Probably a perfectly legit measurement but two things to keep in mind height varies. He likely was measured in the morning. Two he could’ve been 6’4.75 or a hair over and rounded up. But I’ve seen the site Christian pulled from. That was at UNC when he measured that. Pat Riley said when he came in the league he was 6’4.5 which looks right. But I doubt he’s much below that. That’s prob his normal low for a day (possibly 6’4 3/8 but that’s pushing it). But He isn’t quite as tall as Kobe is. Also with a listed height some are reliable others way off. Tyreke evans was measured in the morning (6am combine) at 6’5.25 in shoes and is listed 6’6”. John Wall is really more like 6’1.5-6’2 and he’s listed 6’4”. I know two people who have met him and even SJh who is a poster here put him at 187cm in person. A listing in shoes means nothing. I played ball In college and was listed 6’6” and in the sneaks I wore when I played im a max 6’5.5 maybe even a tad less like 6’5 3/8. But They will round that number up tho to make it sound better and a 6’6” 2 guard that also played some point and also some small forward back then sounds better than a 6’5” 2 guard.

@Johnson: I don’t think there is one. His 6’6” listing is a shoe height rounded up. That is all it is in the NBA doesn’t mean someone measures exactly that. Look up Tyreke Evans (measured in the morning in 2009 same as curry and Blake griffin etc). He was supposedly 6’4” and got 6’5.25 in shoes and was listed 6’6”. Jordan is 6’6” in shoes in the morning I won’t doubt that but at his lowest probably is 6’5.5-6’6” in his specific sneakers

What's not anecdotal is that Jordan was measured 6'4 7/8" during the 1992 Olympics Click Here And here's the full information:
Height: 6-4.88 (1992 U.S. Olympics at age 29)
Wingspan: 6-11.5
Standing Reach: 8-9.25 ( ¾ inch shoe adjusted)
Hand Length: 9.75"
Hand Spread: 11.375"
Playing Weight:
195 - rookie
198 - early-career
205 - 1st 3peat
216 - 2nd 3peat
223 - Washington Wizards
Shoes: U.S. size 13
Although we don't know exactly what time of day he was measured, it was most likely pretty early in the day because most NBA players get measured early, and were still about 1/4-1/2" taller than their lowest, similar to NFL players during Combine as well. So I can see Jordan at 6'4.5"-ish lowest.

Although we don't know exactly what time of day he was measured, it was most likely pretty early in the day because most NBA players get measured early, and were still about 1/4-1/2" taller than their lowest, similar to NFL players during Combine as well. So I can see Jordan at 6'4.5"-ish lowest.

My guess is like Rich said. I’m also 194cm (193.9 at my lowest) and know people close in height with me (+/- 1-2”) who have met him that say we are similar. My guess is he isn’t over maybe 194-194.3 afternoon height) but not any lower either.

Do you have the link of measured 6'6 in shoes?

@MrTBlack: I see where you are coming from that people underguess people but when guys near him in height are the ones guessing him 6’4” and 6’4 and change such as Reggie miller George Gervin and Patrick Ewing that obviously has merit. As far as him being 6’6” listed doesn’t mean he is 6’6”. It just means in shoes he is rounded up to 6’6” or could be. The roundup could be from 6’5.25 like with tyreke Evans was. So for MJ 6’5.5 or .75 could mean that. And I saw once where you referred to the big clunky shoes he wears. His sneaks do make about 1.4” in some cases so 6’4.5 could be 6’5.9 in sneaks. In addition remember height varies through the day. He could be 6’4 7/8 an hour out of bed (6’5 1/8-1/4) directly out and be 6’4.5 afternoon. I say what I do based on the logic with the 6’4” guesses as I see more people guess him 6’4” range than 6’5” or 6’6” unless they are either morning measurers or assessing him a shoe height. I also say it because I am also the same height and was listed 6’6” when I played college ball as was Bobby3342 another poster here. He hits 6’4.25 afternoon and is 6’4 7/8 out of bed and still is listed at 6’6” on a roster where as I am 6’5 1/8 (roughly) and 6’4 3/8 at my lowest and got listed 6’6. In a pair of the Jordan 10s and others I can still reach 6’5.75 in them and would easily be listed at 6’6”.
Another example is draymond green. I saw where his former Assistant GM said he’s the 3rd shortest warrior and then after Steve Kerr and Alvin Gentry and Carmelo Anthony all called him 6’5” along with a couple posters who responded to the blog from the assistant GM. Both posters one 6’3 the other 6’5” said they met draymknd and one said “couple inches taller” the other said the same height. Draymond also doesn’t look taller than Peyton Manning or Kobe. So assuming draymond is 6’5” barefoot he is listed at 6’7” (two inches taller). Same case with tyreke Evans who got a 6’4” combine (early am that year and may really be 6’3.5) is listed 6’6”.

I don’t know if I agree with that presumption on MJs height. Guessing someone a full inch less than they are isn’t unusual on and outside of celebheights. The 6’4.5” measurement seems more anecdotal that fact. And I just found out how that 6’4.7/8ths isn’t confirmed either. What is confirmed however is he was measured 6’6” with shoes on so my guess is still 6’5” solid maybe 6’4.75” at the very worst.

@Johnson: my post must not have come through before you posted. My guess is 6’4 7/8 is a morning height for him. If he looks 6’4.5 to others. I will say Riley is very honest as he also said Magic was really 6’7” before and has met Jordan before. 6’4.5 is loose though and could be my height 6’4.33 at night up to maybe 6’4.6 as they’re all still around the 1/2” mark. I think 3/4 or 7/8 is too much for a guy commonly guessed at 6’4/6’5 or 6’4 and change. I would have him as maybe within half cm of me in height where I’m 195.8/193.9 he’s likely at least no lower than 194 at his lowest no higher than maybe 194.5 no lower than maybe 196 out of bed no higher than maybe 196.5 on a really good morning

@Johnson: I have seen it mentioned both 6’4 7/8 like MrTBlack said as well as 6’4.5 by John Feinstein/Pat Riley and 6’5 at the 84 olympics which is likely just a round up. I just don’t see him being 6’5” at his lowest as he wouldn’t be guessed by guys near height with him as 6’4” range. I’m almost always guessed at minimum 6’5” if I’m in a pair of his sneakers. Sometimes get 6’6” when in reality a pair of his sneaks puts me at 6’5.5-.75 range which is likely the case for him as well. He would comfortably wake up as 196-196.5 tho imho and go to bed 194-194.5
@MrTBlack: yep I posted it a while back on this page I’ll get again and paste here but I also go off the sources on the internet and people I know who have met him most guys an inch or two taller or shorter saying he looked 6’4” or 6’4” and change. Two people I personally know said Jordan and Barkley are around my height whereas one of the two said Kobe appeared taller than me by a touch maybe 1/2”. Maybe Kobe was a full 6’5” peak and 6’4.75 at his lowest which I believe as his wife measured him there. Maybe he lost a fraction but that would mean maybe dipping from 194/195 to 193,5-194 or 194 flat. Maybe 6’4 5/8ish is his peak as there is virtually no difference between 6’4.5 and 6’4 5/8. I believe the 6’4 7/8 measurement is possible for a morning height which was mentioned when he was at UNC. I too played college ball and was measured in the morning. I was 6’4.75 one time according to our strength coach and 6’4.5 once according to him when I dip to 6’4.25-3/8 by evening. Jordan being 6’4 7/8 could be an hour or two or three out of bed and be 6’4.5 or 5/8 by evening. I say what I do because a guy who is 6’4 7/8 at his lowest wearing the shoes he does (I own several pairs of Jordan’s) would never be guessed under 6’5” especially in a world where people are inflated. My guess is he is marginally (at best) taller than I am and that there would be no really noticeable difference between us to where we would need to be back to back and have someone look extremely closely to see maybe 1/8-1/4”. On the other hand I bet if I stood by Kobe I bet he would be taller noticeably as he probably has me by a full cm minimum

Did he? I guess he could have lost a small fraction by now since he’s in his 50s. I personally think 6’4” flat sounds a bit low but don’t think 6’4.75 is completely out of the question (at least at his peak).

Um no, he was measured at 6’4 7/8ths barefoot so he can’t be taller than that (well he may have been a fraction undermeasured but not by much if that was the case.) and this is a site for guessing celebs’ heights so the topic never ends.

@MrTBlack: he’s always pegged as 6’4/6’5 or 6’4 and change when people meet him that’s on the internet and by people I have actually seen who met him In person as well as guys like Reggie miller who have played with him. He’s 6’5” out of bed 6’4.5 or 194 at his lowest. People don’t realize that 6’4.5 barefoot or even 3/8 makes him 6’5.75 in his sneaks as they add a lot. I know because I’m 193.9 at my lowest and when I wear his sneaks I am 6’5.75 and would immediately get listed as 6’6. People assume I’m 6’5” at that point as well when I’m not

He does look 6’6” in this photo above but I suspect he’s wearing Nike Airmax which adds 2”. I think the 6’4” description is a bit too small though but I would say probably 6’5” no more or less.

194-194.5 at night. Hence why he’s guessed as 6’4” by some close in height (presumably in a casual shoe) and 6’5” by others presumably in his sneakers that add 1.2-1.4”. That would put him at about 1/4” away from 6’6”. Anytime someone is 1/2” over a mark in shoes people assume that said mark is their actual barefoot height without paying attention to footwear. Hence a guy who is about 6’4 3/8 or 1/2 in bare stockings at night will still be near 6’6” in those types of sneaks and will easily get guessed as 6’5” especially if the person doing the judging is at a disadvantage of footwear.

I believe Kobe at that height is a low on the day or close to it but not an extreme low. He did claim 6'4.5 before too and 6'4". One could say it is downplaying but if he comes all the way down to 6'4.5 at an extreme low and rounds down it really isn't. It's no different than someone claiming an out of bed height or morning of some sort really. I doubt Kobe knows as much about height loss as we do here but If someone chooses to claim an absolute low I don't see it any more of an issue as someone who claims their out of bed max or even more so than shoes. At least the extreme low (even if not reached daily) is closer to the normal low that you walk around at than an out of bed height is.

@Rob: I think Kobe measuring 6'4.75 is similar to you at 5'8 1:8. An afternoon measurement that he can reach on a daily measurement. Jordan and Barkley maybe 6'4.5-5/8 . All three can clear 6'5" out of bed with Kobe the likeliest to be 197 out of bed

@Animus: Brady could well be 6'4.25 but id go with a solid 6'4 at his lowest. Jordan can look as tall at times but taller only with a camera angle. Because usually it's a significant difference I've seen in pics due to camera angle but one I did see is about 1/2". I agree tho that Jordan at 6'4.5 is exactly how I thought he was all along. I look at people who have met him both internet and people that I know as well as guys like George Gervin and Reggie Miller Patrick Ewing have called him 6'4 or 6'4-6'5. 195 cm at nigh is too high for someone to be guessed 6'4 range especially if you're talking in sneaks.

Editor Rob both are arguably exactly the same...but then we have Kobe's wife measuring him almost 6ft 5, I suppose you could say it was a night measurement!

6'4½ is not without the realm of possibility, but it's the absolute lowest I would go for Jordan. I have seen photos of him next to Tom Brady and on equal ground, Jordan is slightly taller. If Brady is 6'4¼, Jordan ought to be 6'4¾ or 6'5.

@Animus: don't forget he also wears higher footwear his sneaks having owned many of them are higher than a normal sneak maybe 1/4". But I agree I don't see him any less than 194cm (6'4 3/8) at night which is completely feasible as he would wake up to 6'5 1/8 (196). That would essentially make him a 6'4.5 guy for most purposes if he chose to claim or round but he claims 6'6" still. Remember the time of day is a variable as well. These guys you compare him to may not be claiming afternoon heights or listed at. I will open the range for evening height 6'4 3/8-5/8 likeliest right around 6'4.5 tho I agree. I don't see him as high as you have him tho because he would never be guessed 6'4" range if he were that tall even in flats he'd be 6'5.25-.5 range still and I don't see him in flats in any pics always Dress shoes or sneaks or casual shoes maybe

These guys you compare him to may not be claiming afternoon heights or listed at. I will open the range for evening height 6'4 3/8-5/8 likeliest right around 6'4.5 tho I agree. I don't see him as high as you have him tho because he would never be guessed 6'4" range if he were that tall even in flats he'd be 6'5.25-.5 range still and I don't see him in flats in any pics always Dress shoes or sneaks or casual shoes maybe

Anything below 6'4½ is virtually impossible. We also know he's not a strong 6'5, because the difference between him and 6'4 guys and weak 6'5 guys is not large enough to justify that. I'd say he's either 6'4¾ or 6'5.

@Spaniard: doubt 193. But he's likely about my height of roughly 194cm. I'd say maybe at absolute best he's 6'4.5 In the evening (194.3)

@Christian: agreed! My impression on Kobe
196.5-197 out of bed (6'5 3/8-1/2)
194.5-195 before bed (6'4 5/8-3/4)
I would go prob closer to 195 too. He looks a real 195 in my opinion

"We don't know the time his wife did take his measurement"
Common sense should tell you that if he was measured 6'4.75" at any time of the day, that means he can't possibly be any taller than that measurement at his low point. I believe the measurement took place late afternoon or night because he looks 6'4.75" at his low.

That's because the 6'4.75" is his low point. Kobe wouldn't be strong 6'5", he would be considered 6'4.75" because on Celebheights we go by afternoon/evening heights.
We don't know the time his wife did take his measurement. Comparing Kobe to other celebheights listed people here like Michael Strahan and Michael Phelps he does look more full 6'5" than not.

Re:Morning height.
For myself If someone is measured barefoot at a certain height in the morning I have absolutely no problem with them claiming that height. I don't think it's any fairer for someone's height at 7pm for example to take precedence over 7 am when giving it out. If you measured it (barefoot of course) you measured it.

6'4.5 he's still very tall, but most of his votes are from his fans(no question about this).
My estimation comes of comparing him to usain bolt btw, they look similar height wise.

To be fair Jordan in socks at 194-194.5 in the afternoon is going to potentially put him at 197-198 in a pair of his sneakers if they add 1.2-1.4". So even an afternoon measurement for him will get him lat 6'6" shoe height. And even just using a 1" sneaker it's still around 6'5.5 in the afternoon which still rounds up to 6'6" for NBA standards. It really isn't all that easy to tell a difference between maybe 6'4.5 and 6'5 at the lowest especially when people he is being compared to we don't know when that person was measured either. Very many guys my height will claim 6'4 1/2 or 6'5 or even 6'4" and based on responses of people who have met Jordan appears to be the same that some say he's 6'4 or so (6'4 and change) whereas others say 6'4 or others 6'5. Jordan also has very long limbs which make him appear taller.

@Christian: yep Rob Said too Neyo is possibly 5'7" range which he looks (9" diff) with Jordan. While I don't believe Jordan is a Howard stern type of 6'5" or similar to you (not falling below it) he is out of bed like I am and dips to the same area I would give or take (194cm zone) which makes sense at 6'4.5ish. But Strong 6'5" for Jordan would make him your height and id bet $100k in Vegas that you would edge Jordan back to back by a noticeable amount (especially when a lot of people class MJ when they meet him as 6'4" or so). Safe to say had he been over 6'5" like that (especially if he was measured early in the day he'd be closer to 6'6"). he would have gotten a 6'7" listing like Reggie Miller did (although Miller is more Weak 6'6").

@Brad: it's very rare that they ynderlist someone on a pre draft with money on the line. That was just his actual walking height where he would measure in the afternoon. for him to be 6'7" peak would mean he's lost close to an inch at 31 which he hasn't. Melo for sure is the height they have him at on his pre draft. Look at him with Kobe he's looking 1.5" more. I saw him about a year and a half ago and that was at 31 years old so likely still in his peak and he didn't look but his draft height st most. He was never taller than that. He wasn't as tall as Lebron who is 6'7". He would be likely a full 6'7" out of bed tho.
Look at him with carlos boozer he's about 1.5 shorter then he's about identical with 6'6.25 Kyle korver

I don't always trust the draft measurements but his for sure I trust. That's exactly how he looked in person too. I'm 6'5-6'5 1/8 out of bed and 6'4 1/4-3/8 at night. I'd estimate him to be 1.5-2" taller than me. I'd give him 6'7" out of bed and between 6'6-6'6.25 at his lowest (he is a bit taller so may lose more height than me).
I played against him when he was in high school (he went to Towson catholic) outside of Baltimore and to Oak Hill Academy. I'm a few years older but he was more like 6'5" later in high school. When I played him earlier on maybe 6'4" (he was about my height) then I saw him when he played up in the DC area when he went to Oak Hill and was definitely 6'5" his junior or senior year.

@Brad: as for Deandre Jordan I can see his NBA pre draft 6'9.75 maybe dipping to 6'9.5 as a low but not less. As for Melo I stood right next to Him at a restaurant about a year and a half ago and he look s exactly as listed on his pre draft 6'6.25 (worst case is maybe he's 6'6 1/8 at his lowest) best case max if I was off 199 flat. As My wife and a couple others near us said he's between 1.5-2" taller than I am. That's rare because I've seen other players and heard other players aren't as tall as the draft measurement claims. But guys I played with in high school such as Keith Bogans he looked around his listed barefoot height 6'4.25 (he's practically my height maybe a fraction shorter at most) Caron Butler (is 1/2"-1" taller than me and he's listed 6'5.25) Larry Johnson I didn't play with but he looked close to his 6'5.5 but I'd say he's confidently closer to 6'5 than he is 6'6" as he was 2cm to 1" taller taller than me and looked identical with my 6'5.25 friend in their pic with Starks. Looking at him when I shook hands with him I would've said right directly in between is fair. I'm a solid 194 cm in the afternoon (6'4 3/8). But That should put in perspective Melo is about the same with MJ he's more than just one inch taller. That is why I also mentioned Jordan is 6'4.5ish

If he were really 6'5" at his lowest he would be easily above 6'6" in his sneakers or dress shoes around 6'6.5 in some. and be above 6'7" in sneaks earlier in the day. Looks more like 197-198 in his sneaks hence a "rounded up" 6'6" NBA listing. 196-196.5 out of bed 194-194.5 at his lowest

@Johnson: That's not the best pic. Salinas may actually be 184/185 in a diff pic not 187/188. As Christian highlighted Jordan in bare feet by celebheights standards is 194 range. The most I could see him after 5 hours would be maybe 194.5ish and that's assuming 194.3 is his lowest (anyone could lose a fraction thereafter). Christian is right if that were a clear pic I'd have said he's barely or almost 6' as well.

Nowhere near 188 or 187. I see an easy 12cm difference (without knowing their shoes), so Jordan being 194.3 puts Salinas at 182.

@SJH: I can def see that. All I was saying was Pippen isn't over 6'7" and tbh can look 200cm range as well. He looks only around full 2" over Jordan at times but others it's 2.5".
@Height: I respect your opinions as well! Our estimates aren't that far off really. I don't think Boozer is that close to 6'8" tho. Most in the NBA have said he's closer to 6'7".
As for Durant they overplay his height. He is 6'9" range just with some change. He's near 6'11" in shoes
As for Barkley and Pique your picture is no good. You said it with my picture of Magic and Barkley which is totally accurate height difference of 2.5-3" it shows it on the HOF intro for Reggie miller (I posted it a while back). It lines up with their Olympic measurements. As I mentioned the pique Barkley shot anyone here who is unbiased will agree (SJH has said before on another occasion with another picture actually) that if you were to switch Barkley and pique that Pique would appear to be taller than Barkley.

Canson, I respect your opinion, I think I have been one of the few unbiased posters who post good pictures, and as much as you say that the pictures I use favor certain players, sometimes they are the only ones available.
I do see the subtle differences from all that I have watched between Melo and Pippen and Rodman, not only from a couple of pictures or videos I use as an example.
The pictures of Magic and Pippen and the videos of Barkley, Pippen and Rodman, although not conclusive, they give you a general idea that:
1. Pippen and Magic are pretty much the same height
2. Pippen is noticeably taller than Rodman
3. Barkley is noticeably taller than Pique and Harden
They serve for the purpose of proving that there is more than 2.5 cm between Barley and Piqué, Harden and that Pippen has an evident advantage on Rodman.
I am not saying Pippen is close to 6'8" if you read my last messages, all I am saying is that he is pretty much the same height as Magic (over 6'7": between 201.5 cm / 6'7.3 - 201.75 cm/ 6'7.4'). Boozer is taller than Pippen on my list too, he is taller than what you mention, my estimate is more accurate as he has always been very similar in height to Malone.
Add to the Rodman videos these couple of videos vs Wilkins (who is about 199 cm):
Click Here
Click Here
I honestly don't think they're pretty much the same, I see significant advantage over Wilkins.
Kukoc is only a little more than and inch shorter than 212cm Vlade Divac, probably 4cm. That 6'9" height for him is what he said he was to scouts when trying out for NBA teams in 1990, because he wanted to play SF / Point Forward and not PF. His case was similar to what Happened to Kevin Durant. This comes straight from his own mouth:
"In NBA circles I am 6'9". I've always preferred to say that I am a 6'9" Small Forward, because it is a height that fits in that position. If I had said that I actually measured more, they would have started to say that I was a power forward. " (translated that from a Spanish interview.)
Kukoc can look as tall as 209cm, but I believe he is 208 cm (6'9.89) or 208.5 cm at his lowest.

Height:
Carmelo I've met and he is 198-199 I agree (actually may be more like 198.5-199). Melo is taller than penny is. Penny measured a solid 6'6" barefoot I agree 197.75-198.25 prob for him not melo. I'll give him that only because he looks it with others. But Your video of rod man and Pippen is no good and your method of observing and throwing cms out of nowhere may work for some but not all players unless you have a good picture with them and that video is not a good picture of them. Or unless you've seen them. Pippen is not an inch taller than rodman is imho. Look at the hall of fame induction as well as them overseas they have about the same difference with Horace grant. Some pics rodman looks taller some pippen can look a lot taller if he is favored or some 1/2" or the same height. Pippen is not as tall as Magic imho. I don't think either is 202cm. Magic at 201 I can see maybe 201-202. But also Google the pic with Jeff sanders and Barack Obama Pippen is an shorter than Sanders who is 6'8 "NBA listed" so that tells me pippen is nowhere near 6'8" as well. As for Carmelo being taller than pippen or vice versa, how do you see a difference because I sure can't? And I don't mean a picture that favors pippen I mean one where they are on the playground they look almost identical if anything it can go either way. Lastly Boozer is not 202-202.5 tops he is closer to 202 barefoot. Boozer is taller than pippen. As for pippen and Lebron I think they're the same height. Both weak 6'7- full 6'7" at their lowest (meaning away from the combine) 6'6.75-6'7".
Lastly Kukoc: if he's 208? (We don't know). He was 6'9" overseas. I'd go 207 for him and 200-201 (tops) for Pippen. I've seen people comment that Pippen is 6'7" in shoes before so don't buy that he's 6'7.5 barefoot. They wouldn't list a guy that tall at only 6'7" for 75% of his career like they did him (he didn't become 6'8" until after a year or so in Portland). In some pics with pippen and kukoc both retired it's 3" in some maybe 2.5" But I doubt he's 208 if he was listed 6'9" overseas.

Pippen doesn't look noticeably taller than Penny Hardaway, Height. And with Rodman in many pics can go either way. Depends on who the camera favors. Rod man looks taller at times than him and next to Horace grant there is no visible difference in how pippen measures against a legit 6'9" guy barefoot than Rodman at 199cm peak measures next to Grant. Look at Pippen next to Kukoc. Kukoc was only listed 6'9-6'10 overseas and he looks at good 3" taller than Scottie. I'd say kukoc is closer to 6'10 since he looks taller than grant does too a bit. But not 6'11. He was 24-25 when he crossed the Atlantic and doubt this side of the water made him Amat taller it's just that he's in shoes listed like the rest of the NBA players are. I agree Pippen is fraction taller than Penny or Rodman I'd imagine but at most it's maybe a couple cm and that's on Hardaway not Rodman. 6'7.5 would easily make pippen 6'9" in shoes. People that comment on his YouTube video where he dunked on Ewing say he's 6'7 in shoes (I take that to be 6'7.5 in shoes however if that's as low as he is). Had he really been that tall he'd have been listed like Magic is. With rod man it's max 1/2. He isn't as tall as Magic prime (it's close I agree) but pippen at 202 would make him as tall as Carlos boozer when Boozer is about dead even or very close with Karl Malone and Malone edged pippen well. pippen also was listed 6'7" prime on the bulls and rockets he would've been 6'8" from the get go (not when he went to Portland) if he were that tall. Pippen really doesn't look taller than Lebron and not much different with Carmelo Anthony the same 1/2" or maybe 2cm difference Lebron has on melo

Pippen is not any taller than penny in the all star pic and penny is at most a solid 6'6" that's what he measured at the combine if it were higher he would've been listed 6'6.5 they didn't do 1/4 or 3/4 back then. Pippen at most is a solid 6'7. Looks more 200cm tho

Canson, the 6'6.5" for Pippen (nonsense by the way) is just part of that same poor olympic article which knocked off 2 inches from players and had Bird at 6'7", David Robinson at 6'11", etc.
It doesn't make sense that Pippen has always looked the same height as Magic (as in the pictures I posted), yet some insist it's impossible for him to be in the 6'7-6'7.5" range.

Thanks, Canson, I appreciate it and if I've crossed any lines then I apologize as well. Neither of us can say at all what's in the other person's head or why they believe what they believe. When either of us do it, it's probably arrogant on both of our parts. In Selleck's case, we're talking 1/2", which has no bearing on his career and isn't much to shave off if he had some sort of height complex. For Barkley, I posted a quote where he even talked about how his accomplishments were more impressive at 6'4". And the fact that he ever claimed a plain old 6'4" shows he will downgrade himself, but in his case, the motive is obvious and it's a bigger downgrade than Selleck's potential one. I don't rule out Selleck being 6'4", btw, but unlike Barkley who I never see actually looking under 6'5", I have seen Selleck look no taller than 6'3.5", even in the 80s and early 90s. There's not really the same discrepancy with Selleck. I just assume he's a man who when precise said 6'3.5", but then other times rounded to a full number like everyone else.
As for Pippen, he looks taller than just an NBA 6'7" to me. But even if they only did have halves then why give him a 1/2" if he were 6'7" flat. Pippen looks almost identical to Grant Hill in the '96 all-star photo side by side. It looks spot on, imo. Some people might call a 6'7.5" just 6-foot-7. Maybe his nephew is guessing or maybe Pippen has shrunk half an inch. A survey done years ago showed the average man lost 0.4" by age 50 and Pippen is 51 now(sounds weird, doesn't it?!) With that back surgery of his, plus knee surgery and that nasty ankle injury that f*cked up what was looking like his best season in '96, I wouldn't doubt a half inch loss at all. It's unlikely we'll settle this definitively since a half inch is tough to spot and can easily look to vary in photos, but either way, that would still make Barkley 6'5"-6'5.5" as I saw 1.5" or 2" depending on the photo.
Btw, for home measurements, I have seen obvious errors. Jean-Claude Van Damme's mother apparently measured him 177 cm on TV, but there's no way. He's a 174-175 cm guy, especially by that time. I don't buy the supposed 179.5 cm measurement for Orlando Bloom's wax figure either. He looks no more than about 178 to me. So you see in general, I mostly go by what I think they look. It's always just my opinion, I never delude myself into thinking otherwise, well, not on this subject anyway! If I think it could go either way, then I may make an assumption like Selleck rounding up from 6'3.5" to 6'4" sometimes or stating the precise figure other times. I do have a hard time believing 5'10" Swayze can look as close as he did to a legit 6'4" man even with a slouch. I look at John Lithgow with Michael C. Hall on Dexter and the difference is quite striking, though Hall isn't a boot guy like Swayze. But even 6'3" Jimmy Smits could look not too far off.
The one I could see you being right on is Kobe, 6'4.75"-6'5" seems a pretty good range, but I still have problems with some of his taller appearances like the 2008 Olympic pic with 195 cm Redd, with Magic at Michael Jackson's memorial service and Obama. I think Jordan is basically identical to Kobe and you know my estimate for Barkley. I think he's likely the tallest of the 3.

If I think it could go either way, then I may make an assumption like Selleck rounding up from 6'3.5" to 6'4" sometimes or stating the precise figure other times. I do have a hard time believing 5'10" Swayze can look as close as he did to a legit 6'4" man even with a slouch. I look at John Lithgow with Michael C. Hall on Dexter and the difference is quite striking, though Hall isn't a boot guy like Swayze. But even 6'3" Jimmy Smits could look not too far off.
The one I could see you being right on is Kobe, 6'4.75"-6'5" seems a pretty good range, but I still have problems with some of his taller appearances like the 2008 Olympic pic with 195 cm Redd, with Magic at Michael Jackson's memorial service and Obama. I think Jordan is basically identical to Kobe and you know my estimate for Barkley. I think he's likely the tallest of the 3.

Agreed rising force. I apologize as well. But I must say I agree with robs estimate for Barkley more so. I don't say he's a flat 6'4 but I'm between 6'4/6'5. I agree with Christian that he walks at 194.5-.6 like his olympic measurement. Meaning he could be 6'4.5 at his lowest but for continuity I'll keep him 6'4 5/8 and Jordan 6'4.5 tops. Kobe looks the full 195 if any of them do next to butler and from what someone else who has met Kobe said he's 6'5. Same person met Jordan and had him a little shorter same with Barkley. He said those two were closer with me so maybe Kobe was in more footwear. I make my comparisons tho (not what you accused me of making people my own height) but based off logic. I know the pre drafts aren't accurate in all cases. Think if you are a prospect and you list yourself taller to make money or they lost you taller . The Olympic measurements have no bearing that Barkley received because he was just that an Olympian who already had a hall of fame career even in 92. You also made a comment about selleck saying why would he downgrade himself? Same goes for Barkley why would he when the NBA and players etc know how tall he is they would've called him out and said he's downplaying most say he's closer to 6'4 than 6'5 but I can also dare to say the solid 6'4" is just then saying he isn't really 6'6". Most people who were older would call themselves 6'4 at 6'4.5 or 6'2 at 6'2.5 but today height skewing doesn't afford for that.
However looking at your numbers Scottie pippen I've seen that number before 6'6.5 never 6'7.75. Pippen isn't significantly taller than rodman is if at all (maybe 1/2" or so). If pippen was 6'7.5 he would've been listed at 6'8" minimum. He was 6'7" on a rockets or bulls roster and 6'8 with Portland in his shoes. Pippen's nephew even called him 6'7" not 6'8" when he was comparing him to himself (he's 6'4" btw). But Look closely at pics. Blake griffin is noticeably taller than pippen is in a pic. Having met Caron butler more than once and played against him, and him standing at most at 196cm in person, I can say Blake next to him or a 6'9.75 deandre Jordan he isn't anything remotely close to 6'8.5 or .75. Caron has been 6'5 since he was in high school as he once said on twitter I believe and five or six years back when he played in DC he still is. Blake looks 202cm and looking at when he was measured (less than 20 minutes after waking) and with thick hair (remember he was guessed by the lady training him 6'5/6'6). Nobody guesses a legit 6'9 like he calls himself that low. He looks 2" shorter than DJ and about an inch taller than matt Barnes (6'6.5/.75). Not to mention they posted a pic on a website of Blake next to a 6'10 female and he was 2-3" shorter. And in pics Blake is no taller than Kevin love either. So pippen unfortunately isn't 6'7.5 like he was listed in his draft. Also remember when you look at those draft listings that you only see 1/2" or full inch maybe prior to 2000. Do you think every person measures perfectly half or full when they are measured? With stake in the game they would likely boost a 6'7.1 or to .5 regardless of what time of the day it is so that could easily put pippen a bit lower at evening not to mention puppet has had multiple surgeries. Remember Pippen didn't go to a very prestigious school or wasn't highly touted yet managed a 5th pick still. The listings and degree of inflation are based on what position they play. So a guy who is a small power forward like Barkley is would get more benefit than a normal sized 6'4.5 2guard like Jordan who also got listed 6'6" yet they came out the same height which leads me to believe if Barkley were really 6'5.5 he'd have easily been 6'7. Clarence weatherspoon was a 6'5-6'6 power forward listed 6'7. But for pippen He could've been a guy who was 6'7" or over then a lost a fraction but I'll give him 6'7 today tops no higher as he doesn't look much taller than Carmelo Anthony does in pics together. Melo is another properly listed player as he is 198-199 in person when I've seen him

The archive searches suck now, so I may not be able to find it anymore. I've certainly never seen a 6'6.5". As for Mullin, his 6'7" listing was probably in shoes. I give him 6'5.5"-6'6". You missed the point of what I'm saying, Canson. My point was that clearly you're trying to convince me since Rob still lists Barkley at your estimate instead of mine, yet you're not presenting any of the kind of evidence I find the least bit compelling. But that's not at all a valid argument for you being right on Barkley either since by that logic I'm right on Jordan and you're wrong on him as I tend to more or less agree with Rob's 6'5" listing for him. With no disrespect instead as I think Rob is excellent at what he does, I do maintain that Barkley at under 6'5" doesn't add up with the other listings on this site. So if you're trying to convince me, then you're wasting both our time if you don't present photographic or video evidence to support your assertions. Also, I think we started off some time back with generally nice, civil discussions, but I think it's drifting lately, so let's try to keep this friendly, respectful and light since it's really unimportant whether Barkley is 6'5.5" or 6'4.75". Just avoid anything personal, telling my what is in my head or that I'm bad at estimating height and I'll show you the same respect.

Scottie Pippen is pretty much the same height as Magic Johnson (somewhere in the 201.3 cm-201.9 cm range). He even "towers" Chris Mullin who is a little taller than a flat 6'5" (196cm-196.2 cm probably)

Also a god friend of mine met Scottie at the airport last year and told me he was well over the 200 cm mark:

Canson, as Ronald Reagan would say "there ya go again." Maybe Pippen is 6'7.25", but your case is not strong at all, your comparing him to a whole group of guys who weren't measured and are using that to somehow invalidate Pippen's measurement? Actually, I've seen 6'7.75" listings for Pippen in old '87 newspapers. You're often just giving your estimates for other players and assuming I agree. Pippen looks every bit his measured height here: Click Here Noticeably taller than Glen Rice who is around 6'7", possibly slightly under. And an even stronger advantage over a roughly 6'6" Drexler, and he always looks like that with Drexler. In fact, even if Drexler is only 6'5.5", Pippen still looks comfortably over 6'7" whenever I've seen them together. Chris Mullin, also listed 6'7" was undobutedly an easy 1.5"-2" shorter than Pippen. Instead of declaring things, back up your case. Otherwise, this is getting tedious. I'm not even sure who your trying to convince either. Rob's listings on these NBA players are typically in line with your estimate, not mine.

Rising force: There is no way pippen is really 6'7.5 barefoot. Look at him next to Karl Malone Larry bird or magic. He's not as tall as Magic is let alone the other two. Look at the pic with president Obama and Jeff sanders and sanders himself is a listed 6'8". Even if both stood straight pip is still shorter than sanders. He may be 6'7" that's at absolute most and he's at least full 2" taller than Jordan is if you see other pics. A 1987 pre draft measurement when they didn't measure anything but 1/2 or a full inch isn't that reliable. Anything over 6'7" would've been pushed up to 1/2". Keep in mind pippen has had multiple surgeries like Peyton manning has like knee back (herniated discs). Keep in mind Horace grant is 6'9" and toni kukoc barefoot 6'9-6'10 and both are more than 1.5 or 2" taller than pippen. Kukoc overseas was listed 6'9 and 6'10.?he got his 6'11 in the NBA in shoes and came here as a fully grown adult

Jordan can indeed look near 6'5.5" with Obama, much like Kobe did and a height Jordan looked near with Dwyane Wade. But Jordan is basically identical in height to Kobe, but no taller: Click Here There should at least be a 1/4" upgrade or downgrade with one or the other. Really, I think it's more likely Kobe is a 6'5" guy who might drop to 6'4.75" at his lowest, or Vanessa undermeasured him a bit. Also, Jordan is definitely not taller than Barkley, really, he's shorter as you can see the majority of the time they're together, including the '92 Dream Team photo, but evening them up would at least be better. Jordan usually looked around 6'5"-6'5.5" with 6'7.5" Pippen such as back to back here: Click Here and 6'6.5"-6'7" Rodman. The average guess looks about right in the back to back pic with Pippen.

Don't know What to tell you Johnson. Vernon Davis also at 6'3.25 looks very tall next to Obama surprisingly so maybe more Obama isn't a full 6'1" and the angle with Jordan as he's 194/195

Why does Jordan look so tall compared with Obama who is legit 6'1??. If Obama is solid 185 MJ appears rather 197 than 196. Look when he is putting him the medal

@Duhon: to be fair and honest I cannot tell how much is between them now I would've thought a full inch may not be but isn't more than an inch either. I also saw a pic with Karl Malone and Jordan where they're next to each other and they look almost the same minus the obvious shoulder difference and we know Malone is taller than Scottie pippen and Rodman are both and at least 3" taller than Jordan if not more. I would've posted the pic but the link is no good anymore. The angles will make people close in height especially an inch or less diff appear similar just like it did Malone and Jordan in that pic. If you google Michael jordan Karl Malone you'll see it. The pic below with MJ and Dr J looks maybe an inch worst maybe 2cm.

See his retirement year with the Wiz against Philly in 03. Doc was an inch taller just about and that's a well aged Doc so makes Jordan 6'4" range. Yes out of bed Jordan I believe is over 6'5" maybe 6'5.25
In their respective primes there wasn't a full inch between Jordan and Dr.J. Click Here
If not for Doc's significantly thicker hair there you'd be hard pressed to estimate the difference.

@Shiva: no I have not met the man. I'm going off how he looks on camera against others and from multiple people who have met him on the internet who have said 6'4ish as well as two people who I know have met him say 6'4/6'5. Yes all of that could be true. However what if I had met him and he were the relaxed one and I had been on my feet or vice versa? It works both ways. He was described by pat Riley who had also met and coached against him that said he's 6'4.5 when drafted. Not to mention looks close to an inch shorter than Julius Erving most of the time.

@canson, how could you particularly tell Michael Jordan's height even up to an mm ,did you meet him, even meeting him we couldnt tell properly (i mean he could have been relaxed and you could be standing all day) or is he measured accurately up to an mm ,well you did use 1/8" increase or decrease , imo we can't judge 1/8" just by looking,heck even a pimple over your head could contribute to 1/8" increase or even excess weight could knock off a fraction , my conclusion is 1/8" or even higher accurate measurement are not at all reliable I mean same person could measre a1/8" lower or higher at his low

@Christian: yes. I was saying what I did in response to Shane saying that someone can lose (as he does on occasion) a full inch in a day. I myself have lost over an inch before but it's not typical. I don't believe Jordan does regularly either. Jordan at 196.2 out of bed 194.3 at his lowest maybe an 1/8" in either direction makes the most sense to me

The sub 6'1" is prob an extreme low for you. The most I've lost in a day is maybe 1.05" as I wake to 6'5.08 and have gotten to a whisker above 6'4" on an absolute low day. My "true" height is 6'4.33. I can see Jordan going down to 6'4.25 after a longer day too.

@Canson have to disagree with you saying no guy his size loses a full inch. As you know I'm 6'2" barefoot and sometimes lose a full inch or slightly over unfortunately. So people 3 inches taller than me certainly can lose as much.

@KH: I agree. Hence below where I mentioned what I did about Kobe and MJ if they had sneakers on most would assume to be 6'5" as is. I think the reason for the debate is how people are listed here 1/4 1/2 3/4 increments. If someone measures like 6'4.5 at their lowest they may claim either truthfully. Have seen it work both ways. 1/4" is not hard to tell it's impossible almost but 1/2" is easy back to back

6'5 is pretty close. I dont get arguing about half and quarter inches. Stand next to someone a quarter to half inch taller or shorter then you unless you stand back to back it will be very hard for someone to say who is taller definitively using the naked eye.

@Christian: I agree also based on how Pat Riley said MJ was measured when he was drafted. My best guesses are
Kobe 196.5-197 out of bed/ 194.75-195 evening (similar likely to Cam newton)
Jordan 196-196.5 out of bed/ 194.25-194.5 evening (similar to Colin kapernick but maybe a hair taller)
Conceivably If either said 6'5" esp in their sneaks adding around 1.2-1.4" they'd both look it in person

@Borats: 6'4.75 is what he was initially listed until someone pleaded with Rob to changing it saying "oh he's only the greatest athlete of all time". He was measured 6'4.5 when he came in the league (afternoon height likely) and still is
Do you have a source for that height measurement claim?
Also that's quite the slight at Rob for assuming he'd change a height listing due to the pleading of one site user. There are many pages here where fans plead for Rob to change the height listing and he won't unless he himself believes in that height.

I saw a documentary saying his dad was only 5"8, mum 5"5 , brother 5"8/9 but a maternal grandfather over 6 feet. I personally think Jordan could look easily 6"5 next to the likes of federer even now but next to some real big 7 foot guys he could look near 8 inches shorter. I think 6"5 is good though probably no more.

I'd say that Pat Riley was correct in that he's 6'4 1/2 barefoot. He doesn't look taller than Kobe and in pics can look a hair shorter. Maybe Kobe is a full 195cm or 195.1 and MJ 6'4.5 )194.3-194.5

Sorry for some of my typo i mean one time my lowest i measure 200.2cm and my usual normal day lowest is 200.4cm , carter height can be confuse like kobe sometimes he look big 6'6 next to some celebrities i know he is not and i've heard quite number of people mention carter was about 6'5 or a little lower when they meet him in the nba game court. Atually if you claim 6'5 and wear some 0.8-1" footwear most of time nobody would suspect you're under it and just like alot of honest people standard they just claim morning height but by the time you see them in the afternoon they're about half inch gone under the height they mention so you're solid 194cm i've know only one solid 194cm he edge you by a few mm before bed which is my younger brother who was still growing at 17 this year just two months back i saw him and honestly he look taller than how many 6'5 actors apear on screen. my brother is right at 6'5 on morning medical (9-10am) and he gives a strong impression of kobe bryant range 194.5-195cm and i can relate how some shorter women being fool by taller guys being 6'0-6'1 they think was 6'2-6'3. My mom only brother, my uncle who was solid 6'1 he always have have high volume of hair also have short neck higher shoulder level than most 6'1 guys he give impression that he is easy 6'2-6'3 to most lady in his family and friends. My mom was 5'8.5 and she even get fool all the time thought that he was little over 6'2 untill we measure him in a tradition way he was not over 185.4cm which is 6'1 and i always thought he was close to 6'2

SJH I think carter may have been given that because he played both forward and guard. I see that being out of bed for him and dipping to 195 at night. Or maybe shoes as I did hear one person also say he was eye level with them at 6'4.5. He isn't as tall as Dr J even and he was a confirmed 6'5.5 more than likely prime a friend of mine who is near my height maybe 6'4 flat met him and thought he was 6'6"

@S.J.H: I've done the same. I got 6'5.25 before out of bed but was after longer sleep. Now I'm consistently when I measure right under 6'5 1/8 at 195.8cm and come down to 193.9 at night. I can give the impression of being 6'5 or 6'6" as well because of my build (broad shoulders and decent muscle) and good posture and length and have even been told 6'8" once and 6'7" a couple times. I claim 6'4 all the time and may go 6'4" and change if someone else is close with me that says they're 6'4 (if they're a morning measured I can tell immediately in most cases) because they usually wouldn't even hit 6'4" after 1 hr and I'd be an entire inch taller. But in general People have no idea if they are far away and women are the worst especially older ones. They take what a liar guy has told them, sometimes even not and they automatically try to guess. Then some women I see (we have a friend who does it) inflates their fiancée. When I first met them and even after almost a year we've known them she asked what are you 6'7"? And I told her no 6'4 and change. Oh well my fiancée (who I also know) is 6'3". Now I had never discussed height with her fiancée but had seen him before and said he's about 6'0-6'1. Sure enough to her surprise "I'm not 6'3, I'm 6'0" he's about 6'0.5 he said to me but he just like I, doesn't round up either. And he guessed me at 6'3-6'4" when he first looked at me I guess because I had been on my feet and was in flat shoes which made me probably around 6'4.5 or so if it was my absolute low of 193.1. Of course he's seen me since then and he's 4" shorter nearly after looking. A strong 6'

Riley says right there that he's 6'4 1/2 not 6'6". He could be 6'4 5/8 because there is no difference in appearance between that and 1/2 but when Riley mentions that he isn't far off him (around 6'2).however a 195 cm guy will look a full 6'5

@S.J.H: Lebron may dip down to around 6'6 5/8 that's possible or maybe after a hard day 6'6.5. Jordan dips to 6'4.5 regularly but looks 2" shorter than Lebron maybe 2.25 while Lebron looks about 2" taller than Kobe or Vince carter so as well Vince I'd reckon is the tallest of the 3. I saw KROC mention once (KROC is 6'5-6'5.25) that Vince is the full 6'5 but no more than that and heard RJ say before that Vince is 6'4.5 (6'5 on a good day). My suspicion is that the Nba as I can easily see inflated when they measure and a guy who measures a hair over 6'4 gets boosted to 6'4.5 at least before they started doing 1/4" increments. And Jordan was boosted to 6'5 on his when he is for sure under that even when he was measured. With no hair like he's had since he's been 2-3 years in he'd be around 6'4.5. I've heard 6'4 7/8 but believe that to be an earlier measurement in the day maybe 2-3 hours or even 1 hour if the former maybe his low was 6'4.5-5/8 and because he was in the middle he was rounded down

@S.J.H: I've heard for Lebron he wasn't measured but I'd see him waking at maybe your height and being similar to you. Maybe if you get to 6'6 7/8 roughly he's 6'6 5/8 at his lowest. He looks 1/2" or cm taller than Melo is and Melo in person looked the height on his pre draft inmho and that is correlating to me at 194cm (he was between 4-5cm taller). I know when KROC met Lebron he said he looked 6'7" in person but that could've been footwear diff as well but I'd put him in aggregate at 200cm or near it afternoon and maybe a hair below evening. He can look 6'7 with Love still but that could also mean love is 6'7.25 or .5 not 6'7.75

Honestly Yao ming 7'3-3/4 self confess making lebron look between 6'6-6'6.5 (Yao head length vary 0.5 longer than lebron) so i doubt 200cm you think he could just be morning and 6'7.25 if was measure 6-7am with thick socks 2-3mm he did be right at 6'7.25 or close enough. I try wake up at 6am and measure before 7am i can hit 6'7.7 with thick socks but i still go down my everyday lowest 6'6.9 without socks. I start to believe Yao could hit 7'5 in the draftcamp measurement since it's between 6-7am and players all wear their socks get measure and although yao answer a china host silly question on out of bed height he mention 7'5 not 7'6.5 the host ask i think he round down his out of bed height maybe he reach 7'5.5 out of bed since draft measurement was 7'5 and losing 1.5-1.75" is assurd for a giant like him.

From people who I know one of which is around the league he is about the same height as me (I'm 194cm). I would say he wakes 6'5.25 and gets down to 6'4.5 (of which a person like this will call themselves 6'5 automatically) but he isn't as tall as a guy like Howard Stern and wouldn't noticeably in person be as tall who is a true 6'5 guy who doesn't drop below. But for stern it's always that he's 6'5.5 or 6'6 because people don't want to accept it (even after two people who met stern on his page said he's 6'5) in person

@Rob: barkley measured 6'4 5/8 at the 92 olympics so it must not be a "bad day". That's his height according to his teammates who all say he's closer to 6'4 than 6'5 or 6'6

Rob, would you put Jordan as a legit 6'5", weak 6'5", or strong 6'5"? I notice some tend to put him down at 6'4.5".

Editor Rob to be fair Mark, Barkley/Jordan/Kobe are all arguably 6ft 5, but if you notice I recently added a quote to Barkley's page where he said he measured 6ft 5-4.75, so maybe on a bad day he dipped under the 6ft 5 mark...
Jordan typically looked 6ft 5.

@S.J.H: I could even see Jordan being taller than Barkley possibly. In some pics he is taller others same or the opposite. Barkley looks every bit of 6'4.5 no more not much less (maybe 194cm). However remember last weekend (all star weekend), when the skills challenge occurred and the guys were commenting on the bigs vs the guards. Kenny smith said "charles isn't a Big he's only 6'4". It's funny how he has always called Barkley 6'4" as has Danny Ainge (calls him 6'4.5) and says he's half inch taller than he is same with Moses Malone he used to call him 6'4 joe Klein called him 6'4 Dan majerle also says even today he was "maybe 6'5" more likely 6'4" and I also notice majerle calls himself 6'6 when he isn't clearly (looks 6'5-6'5.5). Jordan and magic have also said Charles is only 6'4" range and Jordan said they're the same height. I firmly believe that Jordan at peak was maybe 6'4 5/8 as well or 6'4.5. Pat Riley made the comment once that he was 6'4 1/2 when he was measured and he has seen, interviewed, and spent time with him to know how tall he is. People compare Jordan to guys like nick Anderson or stackhouse etc and assume he's taller because of his build when in reality we don't know who is. There is no conceiveable way that we can tell those height differences within 1/2" on distorted tv angles and in pics they can even be misleading

Both charles barkley and mj might had lost a fraction height since few years ago as they're both turn 54 this year. At age 50 is like 90% men will lost a few mm shorter some even lost up 0.5". If you look back jordan video in the 90s to early 2000s i don't think kobe bryant could be any taller than a younger mj and barkley. Putting it now mj lowest 194.0cm zone and barkley few mm over 194cm and kobe hover 194.5cm would be accurate

George Gervin here calls him 6'4/6'5 as has Reggie Miller and Patrick Ewing in the past. That safely rules anything above 195cm out 197 or 196 even a full 195. Nobody is going to notice .23" (195 is 6'4.77), he would automatically get 6'5" especially if that is his lowest height. Now 194-195 range is what 6'4/6'5 refers to. He likely is 6'4.5-.6 at his lowest (not a full 6'5 but not a total lie as most people half or over regardless of what time of day they measure will round up). At least he's in the zone at his lowest

@Christian: to your question you posted while back before about my listed height when I played was both 6'5" and then 6'6". You're right typically someone my size or Jordan's Kobe's or Michael Redd etc will get a 6'6" listing especially in the league they would. I got 6'6" because I was measured around 6'5.5-.75 in sneaks and I played forward. I used to personally claim 6'5" when I played but just go 6'4" now unless a legit 6'4 or 6'5" is right next to me I say I'm almost 6'4.5 sometimes or 6'4" and change now. Truthfully, When you're this height and I'm sure you see it the same way since you're about an inch taller, there's no real reward to lying up as is the case with any height truthfully. For me not really any reward to saying 6'5 over 6'4" (I never got that whole thing either because it's not like people lying an inch don't go unnoticed eventually and don't know why they think they won't eventually be exposed). Even less benefit for you as 6'5" is more desirable in my honest opinion than being 6'6" and that's what you really are and hold majority of the day. I've always looked at the inflation someone attributes to me when lying about their height or not knowing how tall I am, as why would I claim a height I would have no desire to be. Now 6'5" if I were maybe a cm taller I'd claim and because I essentially am out of bed at least but since I fall closer to 6'4 (even get down to 6'4 1/8 when on my feet all day), never see a reason to claim more than 6'4". But it'd be a cold day down there before I claimed 6'6" or 6'7" when I'm nowhere near either and no benefits to them, only doorways and more problems fitting in cars airplanes etc (6'5" guys tell me this all the time that they don't lie either).

I just think it's very bizarre to claim that Jordan, a man more than half a foot taller than the average American man, is wearing lifts or elevator shoes. That's an extraordinary claim requiring extraordinary evidence, and I just don't see it.
Small sources of error can easily distort the apparent difference between two individuals varying wildly in height. And apart from purely technical aspects of the taking of the photo, it's also possible Jordan had a nap before the event, is better hydrated or anything else that could give him a small artificial advantage.
By the way, it's not true that I don't believe anything you say. I value your input and was very impressed with your humility and honesty in our last exchange on this page.
-------------
Staying hydrated won't give you any significant advantage, maybe 1/8th of an inch, but not more than that. Neither will a nap, because it takes at least 6-7 hours of lying down to fully decompress your spine by 3/4th inches, and I've never heard of anyone who takes a nap for more than 3 hours. So even if Jordan did those two things, it still won't be enough to make him an inch taller than his normal height.

Weird, Jordan looks about 6ft6 with NeYo, and NeYo I believe is a legit 5ft8 (one of the few 5ft8 guys in the entertainment world who claim their height honestly). There's no way that NeYo can be 5ft7, so the only sensible explanation is that Jordan wore lifts/elevator shoes.

I agree with Mathew Robinson. 6'4.5 is more likely than 6'4, but I have serious doubts that he is 195 cm at his lowest. People who describe him have often done so as 6'4 and change. Nobody within 1/4" of 6'5 is going to be described at that because they will always look 6'5" not to mention in his sneaks they are pretty thick. But he isn't that much taller than Tom Brady either maybe cm to half inch. Brady likely if measured 6'4 3/8 is between 6'4- 6'4 1/8 at his lowest and Jordan maybe 6'4.5-6'4 5/8

There is no question that Jordan was closer to 6ft5 than 6ft4 in his prime. (He still is, but let's just limit ourselves to his hypothetical peak height.) Could he have been 1/4" below the full 6ft5? Yes. He can certainly look that short next to Larry Johnson (~6ft5½), who is wearing number 2 in the following picture:
Click Here
However, he generally looks 6ft5 next to 6ft4 range guys. Take a look at him next to Tom Brady (6ft4¼):
Click Here
While Brady is lowering his eyeline, if you focus on the top of their heads, you can clearly see Jordan is somewhat taller. It's also worth pointing out that Brady is wearing a hat, so the actual difference might be slightly larger than it appears on the picture.
Someone drew attention to the fact that Jordan was described as 6ft4 when he was around 18 years old. They then proceeded to use that as an objection to his current listing, claiming that growth beyond that age is not realistic. This is blatantly false. Plenty of reliable reports verify that people (especially boys) can grow taller after the age of 18. The taller you will eventually become, the likelier it is your puberty will be prolonged. This fact is also the main reason that males are taller than females.
So let us content ourselves with Jordan being 6ft4¾-6ft5 and no longer entertain the possibility of him being around 6ft4.

I determined a couple years ago (and described on this site) using a lot of side by side comparison photos, he peaked between 6'4.5 - maybe 6'4.75 In shoes he was like 6'5.5 and then they rounded him up, listing him at 6'6. (Anyways if he was described at 6'4 at 18, he's not really getting any taller). Also the Olympics measured him barefoot at 6'3 (and some fraction), so all things considered a solid 6'4, is more likely.

Another guy who would wake up 6'5.25-.375 and 6'4.5-.6 at his lowest. He was never a solid 6'5 at his lowest when people close in height guess him 6'4 and change such as Reggie miller Patrick Ewing etc

6'06.00" was probably his in shoe height. He was probably 6'05.00"-6'05.25" barefoot. He wore size 13 shoes, relatively small for his height, but, supposedly had a massive hand span of approximately 11 inches. In terms of weight he started putting on muscles and working out more towards the middle of his career. Watching a documentary he mentioned being 215-216 pounds after working out, however it was from mid-late 90's and he claimed it was the heaviest he had ever been. His armspan is hard to determine. I've seen claims of almost 7 ft, but they seem dubious at best.

@Christian
Come on, I never said that 196 cm was equal to 6'5". Do you think that someone who just pointed out that 6'4 7/8" and 6'5" are not the same height and are easily distinguishable in the metric system would be make such a mistake?
I said that it was "clear" he was taller than 6'4.5", which principally would indicate he was comfortably over that mark (i.e. ~2cm). I clarified that I did not view him as that tall, but simply didn't see him below 195 cm.
------------
I didn't realize it until now, but I thought ">195 cm" meant below 195 cm. My apologies, you were right.

Editor Rob doesn't look much over 6ft, but then he has variable posture....I think Tucker probably is somewhere over 6ft, but not 6ft 1.
Jordan I doubt was less than 6ft 5, you can definitely argue both he and Barkley could look 6ft 5 range players.

Well, 6'4 7/8" is closest to 195 cm and 6'5" is closest to 196 cm. It's practically the same height, but it's not "really" the same height.
Jordan and Bryant had reasonably different bodies. Jordan had broader shoulders than Bryant and was always a more physical player. He was also more explosive. Bryant had normal-sized hands for his height, whereas Jordan's mitt-sized hands are basketball legend.

Jordan was definitely 6'5" in his prime. 6'4 and 7/8" is really 6'5" lol. I feel like they cloned him and named it Kobe Bryant. These guys have the same body!

I believe it was once reported that Jordan was measured at 6'4 7/8" at the Olympics in 92'. If that is true, it's reasonable to round that up to a full 6'5".
Pat Riley once said that the one of the reasons Jordan wasn't drafted as first or second in the 84' draft was that he was measured at 6'4.5" and not 6'6". Even if he was measured at the low figure at age 20-21, I still think it's entirely possible he grew another
-------------
The vast majority of NBA players measured at 6ft4.5 barefoot get listed as 6ft6, because most of their shoe heights are between 6ft5.5-6ft6. I wonder if Canson was listed as 6ft5 or 6ft6 when he played basketball, because he's 6ft4.375 barefoot

@Tunman: very very good points you made! He could've rounded down and that is something I thought of. My assumption came tho from others who have seen him in person as well as how he has been described by other NBA players "somewhere between 6'4 and 6'5". If 6'4 7/8 were a low he would always appear 6'5 not 6'4 range. Esp in his sneakers. He also looks shorter than legit 6'5 players. Now 6'4 5/8 for him is also a possibility for a low height just like it is Barkley. It's possible he's the taller of the two. 6'4 5/8 at a normal low would make MJ 6'4 7/8 two hours out of bed which is possible. Having played ball In college we got measured once at a 6am practice (I hadn't reached my full height and was maybe 1/4" shorter than now). So that could be MJ's case as the 6'4 7/8 was said to be UNC. Think the biggest thing is that height varies throughout the day so one guy could measure say 6'4.5 one to two hours out of bed the other in the early to mid afternoon and one would edge tho other by 1/4" or 1/2". But if Someone claimed 6'5 on the street and stood in front of me and were around my height I wouldn't question them because it's just the person rounding up more than likely. I would prob say yea I'm 6'4.5 or something and usually response back is yea I'm about that I was rounding

Very true,though I personally thought Barkley generally gave the best impression among the two but I would hardly have thought more than 1cm which clearly excludes anything under a strong 6'4 range.If Pat Riley described him at 6'4.5 I think there's room for doubt about whether he's a full 6'5 or not.Let's take Barkley as the reference and put him at 6'4 5/8 then it could make sense.While it's possible to question Riley words that he was only 6'4.5 it's almost a certainty that he was measured at least once under 6'5.The question is:was he really measured only 6'4.5" or did Riley rounded down a 6'4 7/8 measurement in order to undermine Jordan?close to 6'5 anyways

@123: I respectfully disagree. Jordan for sure is not 6'3 anything and hasn't been likely since High School. I agree He is not 6'6 as listed nor a full 6'5 at his lowest, but I'd be utterly shocked if he's below maybe my height of 6'4.5 (6'4 3/8 at my lowest). I'd personally call him 6'5.25 out of bed and 6'4.5 at his lowest give or take 1/4". This would encompass the measurements of 6'4 7/8 if that measurement is a true measurement as it'd be an hour after waking and 6'4.75 two hours out then after 5 be around the 6'4.5 mark. This is of course guessing but it is how I measure during the day as well 6'5.16 out of bed. And Jordan is not "noticeably" shorter than Barkley. Theyre about the same height. Some pics will make Charles look taller (he is much bigger in the body too) others Jordan will look taller. Sure, one may edge the other by 1/4" inch and not sure which would but having heard from people who have met both. Barkley is the same height as I am according to a friend of mine who is 6'3 and has met him. he said he looked about an inch and a half taller and said he is my height. Someone else I know has met Jordan, he's 6'2 and said the same that Jordan is about as tall as I am Seeing the difference in person. He said not a full 3" taller than he is but at least 2.
