Tony Parker Height
Tony Parker's height is 6 ft 1.25 in (186 cm)

Belgium-born French Basketballer. Not had a basketballer for a while. He has said in his own words, [I'm] "One Metre 86cm'. In some european bball sites they use this, but you'll never see this in the nba ;-) An old draft height (comments below) of this guy is 6ft on the nose.

I'd say at least 6'1.5 next to Kobe.
Anonymous says on 13/Sep/08
Renzo... He is listed at 6'0'' in the NBA lol. what are you talking about
Shaq says on 1/Aug/08
Look at Tony next to 6'4.75" Kobe
Click Here

6'1.25" looks dead on accurate. What do you think Rob?
Gago says on 30/Jul/08
Rob, do you know when he said he was 186? when spurs was playing lakers in conference finals, i saw him a lot and he's 188, he was 19 when he came to nba, and some guys grow after 19, possibly he did, I just know that he definitely looked avery bit of 6'2.

[Editor Rob: it was I think on his official site or an interview in French. Still makes mention on his site about him being 1.86]
Renzo says on 29/Jul/08
Some more of the info at the link from "Shaq" 30/May/´08 is not right at all, for example Parker is not born in 1980. He is born in 1982. So what is said about his height is probably not right either. At least he is listed 6´3" in the N.B.A.
Kev says on 27/Jul/08
This guy is 6'1 tops. In pictures he looks about the same height as 6'1 Steve Nash, mabey a hair shorter.
Shaq says on 30/May/08
Listed 183 cm on this basketball site. Click Here

He doesn't look shorter than 6'1" Steve Nash though.
Shaq says on 30/May/08
There is a better chance Tony is under 6'1.25" than over it.

I heard the Olympics had Parker at 183 cm barefoot and 186 cm in shoes. That would also back up the draft sites that had Tony had 6'0" flat.

I think Parker might be giving 186 cm as his height in shoes, that would also make sense because most basketball shoes add exactly 1.25" inches.
Bruce says on 28/May/08
there is no strong doubt he is 6'2" take it or leave it. this 6'1.25" listing is absolutely wrong. dont everyone know that 6'2" are still the shortest players in anygame. he is exceptionally good considering his height & having to play with guys from 6'6" & upwards

[Editor Rob: argue with Parker, he himself gives 186cm as his height!]
Alex says on 20/May/08
He's at least a solid 6'0 maybe a weak 6'1.
thekiddd says on 18/May/08
He's not 188cm! You just want him to be Matthew.
Mattiew_- says on 16/May/08
What I find funny is that he was listed at 182cm in France before being drafted and all of a sudden he is 188 cm ( 6'2 )...?

I guess it's the NBA magic ... I wish they drafted me so I could have a late two inches growth spurt too ...
thekiddd says on 11/May/08
Obviously you are hearing what you want to hear anonymous. When will people understand THAT ACTORS ALMOST NEVER CLAIM A HEIGHT SHORTER THAN THEY ACTUALLY ARE?
Anonymous says on 9/May/08
tony parker and daniel gibson are the same height, 6'2''.
thekiddd says on 4/May/08
Rafael, how is this guy 6 feet 2 when he claimed 186cms( or 6'1 .25")? Actors are not taller than what they claim. And you friend isn't 192cm( 6"3.6) If he is only an inch taller than him.
Rafael says on 18/Apr/08
Tony parker is 6 feet 2 legit

i have a photo of a friend of mine who is 192 cm

and the diference is like 1 inch max
thekiddd says on 13/Mar/08
I think it is very unlikely than he is 3" below 6'2" the height he is listed as in the NBA. I'd say 6'1" rather than 6'1 1/4".
mon says on 22/Jan/08
yeah, he doesn't look really tall for a BB player. Thought he was like 5'11
Anonymous says on 4/Jan/08
Ironic as it sounds, Yao Ming is a perfect way to measure another player's height, because Yao Ming had so much hype for his height (and rightly so) they were accurate in measuring him. People call Yao 7'5-7'6 never more, never less.
Alex says on 19/Oct/07
Tallest Parker would be is 6'1 if he's listed at 6'2. Likely he's around 6'0 1/2 and 6'1 1/2 or so with sneakers and round to 6'2.
Anonymous says on 14/Oct/07
nba heights are totally bogus, there's an italian player who's said as 7ft and is no taller than 6'8 in reality. it's all about inflating the heights and catering to the silliness of pro sports competitiveness. tony parker is 5'10 and a bit. i met him and laughed inside at how silly a 6'2 listing is for him
Big T says on 27/Sep/07
I am Thierry Henry's biggest fan and have always believed him to be 6'1'', not 6'2''. I would say both he and Parker are probably 185cm or 186cm.
CourtVersion says on 25/Sep/07
I have investigated and found every single evidence needed to Counter Argue statements of those who dont acknowledge Tony Parker being 6'0 The Court has already found him guilty of Adding extra length to his height, surprisingly he even appeared to be 5'10.5 179cm in real life , If he was really 6'1.25 186cm as he claims he COULD NOT be 5'10.5 (179cm)by slouching, as a punishment all of his elevator shoes will be taken away and He will be monitored when he puts on his basketball shoes, To STOP him from putting newspaper or anything else to raise his height he will lose his prievilages to take pictures next to Fans and Athletes( he has asked them not to stand up straight, in some cases even raised his feet)
asdasd says on 7/Sep/07
seem taller than zidane ( legit 6'1) so it could be 6'1.5 or 6'2.
allen4 says on 18/Aug/07

Gonzalo says on 19/Jul/07
He looks 1`86 to me
Kyle says on 18/Jul/07
I'm pretty sure Tony was standing on something during the Subway commercial. After all, he's a basketball star. They won't have him being towered over by Jared.
Arjun says on 12/Jul/07
6'1" looks OK. Certainly not anything under 6'0".
Viper says on 19/Jun/07
Strahan is actually 6-4, and not the billed 6-5 the NFL gives him.
annonymous1992 says on 18/Jun/07
I have seen saw tony parker standing next to Marbury who is listed at 6'2 there was somewhere between 1.5 and 2 inch difference , there is something you can put under your shoes to make you look taller i guess thats what tony parker was doing
Anonymous says on 18/Jun/07
Parker looks a little shorter than Jared. Jared is listed at 6'2, but in the commercial with Michael Strahan (who is listed at 6'5 on nfl.com), Jared and Strahan look the same height.
Jason says on 17/Jun/07
I thought he physically looks 184-185cm.
Vegas says on 16/Jun/07
there are a number of parker and thierry henry photos today in the newspapers. They look the exact same height. Henry is listed at 6'2, could be 6'1 though

[Editor Rob: I'll link the pic Parker and Henry, and here.

Maybe when Parker said - him afterall being european - 186cm, he was telling the truth...]
Arjun says on 16/Jun/07
Anonymous: Duncan's head nearly 12 inches? Not a chance. His head is no longer than Shaq's, and I know Shaq's head is 10.5 inches tops. If Duncan has an 11.5 inch head, than how long is Big Show's head? 15 inches????
youngsta says on 15/Jun/07
I always though he was like one of those 5'10-5'11 small iverson like Point Guards but after seeing the subway commercial with him and Jared he could be like 6'1 or 6'2 , its funny cuz i always though Jared was a tall guy.
Vegas says on 15/Jun/07
ha great spot TheJerk; parker is roughly 3-4" taller than Jared Click Here and Cena is about the same height if not 1" shorter Click Here than jared. so based on those videos if parker is just 6ft then cena is just 5'7-5'8".

ok something is wrong here methinks, parker is not that tall as subway list jared at 6'2 Click Here making parker 6'6 in that video, lol.
Anonymous says on 15/Jun/07
duncan has long face the bottom of his chin to the top of his head is about 11.5 inches
TheJerk says on 15/Jun/07
He had a few inches on Jared the Subway guy in a commercial. Funny, I always thought Jared was tall, he looked taller than Cena in the Subway commercials. Could there really be a big height difference between those two? I would think they are close in height.
Vegas says on 15/Jun/07
decent enough full length pic of duncan and parker Click Here
Arjun says on 15/Jun/07
Duncan is a little under a full head taller than Parker; Parker looks to be somewhere between Duncan's bottom lip and chin. He has a shaved head, so no hair advantage there. Duncan has a small head for his height, probably 10 inches. So Parker is about 9 inches shorter than him .... I believe Duncan to be 6'10", so this would put Parker at 6'1".
Viper says on 14/Jun/07
Now 5-11 is underestimating him.
JWill says on 13/Jun/07
I heard an announcer say that he is "one of those 5'11 guys."
Vegas says on 12/Jun/07
According to the article Viper posted on MJs page Kirk Hinrich is 6-2.75" barefoot Click Here and listed at 6'3 by the NBA; just a 0.25" inflation so parker could easily be inflated by just 0.75".

I was watching the finals on sunday night and parker always had 0.5" at least on Greg Popovich when the were next to each other, just like the numerous pics of the two i posted. of course a 6ft parker equals a roughly 5'11.5" Popovich which is surely not rite.
Alex says on 10/Jun/07
The thing that can make him look 6'2 is that he's with Eva Longoria who is no more than 5'0 tall. The tallest he would be is 6'1 flat and just an inch inflation from sneakers but most likely he's 6'0 1/2.
Anonymous says on 10/Jun/07
i remember seeing parker driving to the rim in a basketball game in asia against 7'5 iranian player jaber rouzbani, he looked no bigger than 6' when they stood next to one another and next to 6'11 samuel dalembert
BigBen says on 7/Jun/07
I have seen a picture with Parker and Arenas both standing the same distance away from the camera. Parker is a 1/2 inch taller than Arenas, and he should be 6'2.5 barefoot, according to the pre draft measurements on insidehoops.com. That does not make any sense, if parker is 6'1 1/4. I think Arenas is a lot shorter than 6'2.5, cause I do not think Parker is is taller than 6'1 1'4. Click Here A have heard that Arenas should be 6'1, that makes sense to me. What do you guys think?
Viper says on 5/Jun/07
Parker is 6-0-6-0 1/4. Some of these guys really surprise me of how much shorter they are when they get measured actually. Guys who I thought were there billed height or close to it. Sometimes its over 2 inches.
Vegas says on 29/May/07
There are loads of photos of Parker and NBA players posted here Click Here

Just scroll down to my two entries on April 4 2007. There are a lot more photos of Tony Parker looking a legit 186cm than just the Zidane photo.
hi says on 28/May/07
parker needs to be downgraded here
he's 6'0.25
period. people who met him say it, and this is consistent with the nba size policy
picture with zidane doesn't show their shoes, rob, so I wouldn't trust it
MD says on 16/May/07
Exactly, in the same way Steve Nash is given 6'3" in the NBA, but is really only 6'1".
Alex says on 16/May/07
Parker is a little over 6'0. If he's listed at 6'2 then he's probably a little over 6'0, 6'0.5 most likely and 6'1.5-6'1.75 in shoes and rounded up.
Vegas says on 30/Apr/07
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh attack of the giant headed Gregg Popovich in Steve's pic. Guys please post proper pics, stop wasting peoples time here, Parker is about 10 feet away from Popovich there, hence Popovich's giant head.

Post pictures of Parker and Popovic side by side like these Click Here or Click Here or Click Here or Click Here or Click Here

BTW Popovich is listed at 6'2 by the NBA but he doesn't look any taller than the legit 186cm Tony Parker
Viper says on 29/Apr/07
He looks 6-0 there.
Derek says on 28/Apr/07
Steve- Pops is a bit closer to the camera, but I still think Tony would be a bit shorter. I'm not sure how tall Pops is though.
Steve says on 27/Apr/07
Well he is shorter than coach pop in regular dress shoes which don't give much height Click Here
ice says on 20/Apr/07
Question: You say the NBA list heights in shoes? Well, If TP was 6'1.25, wouldn't he be around 6'2.5" in sneakers, meaning they would list him at 6'3." Since they list him at 6'2, I think he's under this. If he's 6'2 in shoes, I would guess he's about 6'0.5". That's only 1/2 over his original 6'0 listing, which seems more likely that he gained 1/2 an inch at 19, rather than 1.25 inches at 19.
maddie says on 6/Apr/07
if that's true, the man is SHORT...
J-Sinn says on 6/Apr/07
I've just seen an awful video of him "rapping" in french? i guess. It has Fabolous in it and he stands at least 2 inches above Fab, I'd say 6'1.
Alex says on 16/Jan/07
I think Tony is 6'0-6'0.5 and 6'1.5-6'2 in sneakers and then gets listed at 6'2. Basketball sneakers do give 1.25-1.5 inches of height anyway.
Alex says on 10/Jan/07
Derek, the picture you posted with Shaq is a nice one. Thats how, 5'0, 6'0 and 7'0 look next to each other, haha. But I think Tony could actually be 6'0.5 though.
Alex says on 10/Jan/07
There is a solid foot between the 2 at least, maybe a bit more. Eva looks 5'0 so Tony I'd say is between 6'0 and 6'1. 6'0.5 maybe? Is there any site that has his barefoot and his listed height?
Derek says on 4/Dec/06
If Eva is shorter than 5'1", then Tony is 6' tops, like I said before.
Viper652 says on 3/Dec/06
Eva is shorter than 5-1.
luc says on 21/Nov/06
Tony is a friend of mine and i can say for sure he is 1,85cm
jesse says on 3/Aug/06
its hard to say but id put him at 5-11 because i saw him fairly close and id say he is my height
alex says on 20/May/06
a basketball shoe adds an inch to a player's height. Any player that is 6.4 is 6.3 without shoes
J-Dog says on 4/May/06
It seems like most think Parker is 183-185 cm.
suzy says on 2/May/06
When Eva Longoria was on Jay Leno, she said "Tony is 6'3" and I'm 5'2"...a bit of a stretch! He is the same height as my husband, 6'0" barefoot. We met him at a game and he was eye to eye to him.
bullman says on 15/Apr/06
hes 6 foot 1 for a fact
Anonymous says on 24/Mar/06
Iam 187cm between 6'1 and 6'2 ( little over the half inch line)
I have met Tony Parker in real life I think Tony Parker is 6'0 (183cm)
Anonymous says on 21/Mar/06
Every hardcore Spurs fan knows that Parker is 6 foot and 1/2!! He's one of the shortest players in the NBA. Not 6'2" without Basketball shoes!!
john says on 17/Mar/06
hey james , maybe you had 4 inch boots
Jake says on 4/Mar/06
Bill Walton exposed this guy's lie about his height. He said that Parker was 5'9" - 5'10", the guy who he was with said something to the effect of well everyone must look 5'10" from your point of veiw but he was listed at 6'2", at which point Walton looked surprised and the subject was dropped. Parker while more than 5'9" - 5'10" is probably 6'0" - 6'1". Even if your 7' tall, you ususally mess up that bad.
Seaton says on 9/Feb/06
If this guy is less than 6'1", there's no way in the world Longoria is anything beginning with a 5.
Ball-A-Hallic says on 9/Feb/06
Always looked 6'0 even 2 me.
CoolJ says on 9/Feb/06
Perhaps he did grow to 185-186cm... Nevertheless, I think this still cuts Longoria to around 5' even.
CoolJ says on 9/Feb/06
http://www.nbadraft.net/profiles/tonyparker.htm

His original draft profile from NBADRAFT.NET, a pretty reputable site, had Parker at 6' even.

The 2001 Main Draft Page, has him at 6'1 180.

www.foulshots.com/Analysis/2001nbadraftgrades.htm - Relatively unknown draft site had him pegged at 6'0

EUROBASKET.COM which will usually have the old profiles of Euro Players, has Parker at 183cm.

http://www.eurobasket.com/searchp.asp?LName=Parker&intPageNbr=5

The posters here may be right.. He was 183cm in Euro no shoes. 186cm w/ shoes.. Got rounded up to 6'2 for NBA Standards.

Sorry to keep flooding the board.. but EUROBASKET mentions their top 2005 players and has Parker in there as 183CM as well.
http://www.eurobasket.com/events/ec/05/ec05.asp

Also have
Nowitzki at 6'11 (NBA - 7'0) <- He's definitely under 7' not by much though


[Editor Rob: this could be very feasible...aged 19 at the draft? unless he grew, then certainly the 186cm he claims might be that in shoes, which then gets magically rounded to 6ft 2 in nba, and even in some newspapers when describing him with longoria I've seen 6ft 3!

now if this guy is 183cm barefoot, then Eva Longoria really is much shorter

only, thing is: see pic like this. mid 2005, pova is undergoing her growth spurt, 185cm zidane whilst isn't standing as great, I think the 186cm for Parker is very reasonable in such a pic...

Anonymous says on 9/Feb/06
The basketbal players are measured with sport shoes on,therefor I thinh he is 6' barefoot.not more
Mr R says on 8/Feb/06
I mentioned before, that I was watching a Spurs game a few weeks ago, and one of the tv commentators referred to Tony as a "5 foot 11 guard", and they are usually pretty accurate. The commentators must interview these guys, and they often tell the true heights of these ballers, because they must stand directly next to them.
MD says on 8/Feb/06
He looks this, but isn't he French? I know his father is American and his mother Belgian, but he was born and raised in France, right?

[Editor Rob: i'll call him belgian-born Frenchman then ;-0]
Seaton says on 8/Feb/06
If this guy is only 6'1 and she is wearing what are probaly at least 4 inch heels and only comes up past his shoulder by maybe an inch, then her true height could under 5 feet tall.
CoolJ says on 8/Feb/06
She looks like a child next to Tony. She's got heels on that pic and still looks a good 10" shorter. 5'1" is her max..
