@Dillon: here he is with Paul Pierce. There listed heights look almost believable. If anything, maybe Pierce falls to 6’5.75 seeing as how he doesn’t have 2” on Brady. For this site and discussion’s sake I’ll leave both where they are at 6’4.75 and 6’6”. Also see Kobe with pre draft measured 6’7” Harrison Barnes. Barnes doesn’t quite look that tall with Draymond Green though. It’s def not a full 2” and looks more like 1.5”. Maybe his 6’7” was a couple hours after waking or even a few and he dips to 6’6.75”

@Dillon: it definitely looks a low but not sure if it’s an extreme low. He looked shorter than Caron Butler. Maybe he’s 6’4.75-6’5 range in the afternoon but don’t see more than 6’4.8 range in the afternoon

@Canson I think he can hold 6’5 or so around mid day. I think the 6’4 3/4” measurement is closer to a low for him.

@Dillon: there is absolutely no way Kobe was over 6’4.75”. Assuming Harrison Barnes is the full 6’7” (not sure he is being he’s not 2” taller than Draymond), it’s not feasible. Maybe Barnes has camera advantage there slightly and Kobe isn’t standing as straight but it’s not gonna be 6’5 with him. I’d give Barnes 6’6.75 next to 6’5.25 Draymond Green which I now believe is a low for him (6’6 out of bed)

@Dillon: maybe he was a hair over 3/4” at a low and they rounded down. But seeing him with Caron Butler, he wouldn’t have been much more than that. Caron had at least a CM on him

I think Kobe’s is in my opinion taller than Jordan I have Jordan at 6’4 7/8” Barkley 6’4 1/2” 6’4 5/8” and then Kobe is 6’5”
Barkley is first to get the downgrade. 6’4 5/8 or 1/2” but 5/8 was what he measured at the Olympics. Jordan measured 3/4” at the olympics and 6’4 1/2” when drafted. I would say Jordan and Barkley were around the same and Kobe 6’4.75 since he appeared taller. Chance he’s even slightly over 3/4”

@Dillon: I’d give him 6’4 7/8” 5 hours out of bed. That would be his lunchtime imho. As far as listings, they’re not consistent. Rob has guys listed at morning heights and afternoon. If they have a listing on file like Kobe he goes with that. While I feel that’s his afternoon, it’s possible he could’ve fallen below (excluding his extreme low). My guesses
6’5.5 out of bed
6’4.75 afternoon
6’4.5 extreme low (rare occasion)

@Canson In my opinion Kobe is about 6’5” flat 5-7 hours out of bed. I think he should be listed at that height. The average guess seems about right at 6’5.01” . For my height I’m:
6’5” 1/2” first thing out of bed
6’5”-6’5” 1/8” about 2 hours out of bed
6’4” 3/4”-6’5” 5-6 hours out of bed
6’4” 1/2”-6’4” 3/4” 8-12 hours out of bed
I generally don’t fall below 6’4” 1/2”, but it really depends on what I’m doing during the day. Some days I can easily hold over 6’4” 3/4” because I’m hardly doing anything physical. Other days I dip down to 6’4” 1/2” after lots of labor. On a side note, remember how I mentioned I measured 6’6” 1/4” at a chiropractors office months ago? I actually just went there again yesterday and measured in the 6’5” range despite being out of bed for the same amount of hours approx. Clearly the stadiometer was recalibrated or fixed somehow.

@Dillon: here’s how mine works
Out of bed 6’5 flat (approx)
One hour after waking 6’4 5/8 (approx)
Two hours after waking 6’4.5 (approx)
Five hours after 6’4 3/8 (approx) this would be lunchtime for anyone
7-8 hours (6 if more active) 6’4.25” (approx)
6’4 flat (approx) at my extreme low
I have Kobe as:
6’5.5 out of bed
6’5 1/8 to 6’5.25 after 1 hour (either or)
6’5 to 6’5 1/8 after 2 hours (either or)
6’4 7/8 after 5 hours
6’4.75 after maybe 7-8
6’4.5 at his extreme low

@Canson:
Maybe they just hold their height really well and end up looking taller than they are. Btw, who do think would have the edge between Peak Stern and Peak Cleese?
@Vincent
One thing I will say is knowing Kobe took the helicopter to games etc it’s possible he was able to recline a bit and retain some of the height from earlier in the day too. With Strahan for example, I’m not so sure if that was the case. Strahan likely had just been up longer. That difference looked an inch or maybe 1 1/8” but in reality, it is probably it may have just been that Strahan was around a lunchtime or afternoon by then and Kobe still around his height an hour or two out of bed. It also wouldn’t surprise me if Kobe lost height slowly and was 6’5.5 out of bed and 6’5.25 after an hour then 5 1/8 after 2. Kobe had a 6’5.25 listing somewhere at FiBA I believe. That’s different from how you or I lose it where we are 3/8” below our morning heights after the first hour.
As for Peak Cleese or Stern, that’s tough. I’m probably going to lean toward Stern as he not only to me was likely what he’s listed in his prime at his afternoon height, there’s a chance of 6’5 3/8 possibly. I’m not sold on Cleese having been 6’5.25” but I don’t rule it out being he could look it. He definitely wasn’t less than 6’5” flat and could’ve been in between the two. At worst, I would say they were the same. I highly doubt Cleese was ever taller than Stern in their primes

@Dillon: if that’s his low, then 6’5.25 would be in the morning. I doubt that’s an extreme low for Kobe either just a normal one. Rob claims to go by lunchtime heights. So if that’s the case, Kobe would get 6’4 7/8”. The times he doesn’t use lunchtime is when someone claims their normal low and has a measurement or picture or when that person has an encounter with Rob where he verifies it. Listing someone 1/2” taller than they measure would go against the standards of the site

@Rob I’d say since Kobe is most likely 6’4.75” at his very lowest, he should be listed at 6’5” flat at the minimum. 6’5.25” would also be reasonable. Most celebs on here aren’t listed at their lowest possible height and I don’t think it gives an accurate description of someone’s height because they are above that height the vast majority of the time. 5 hours out of bed Kobe is probably still 6’5.25” range.

The average guess for Tim Robbins and Kobe is currently the exact same at 6’5.01”, and they both claimed to be 6’4.5” at one point, despite them both looking 6’5” very often. Interesting...

@Junior: the afternoon and evening dont vary by more than a mm or two if even that. At least a consistent Evening won’t. I don’t lose any extra beyond 6’4.25” unless I hit the gym or force myself into compression or to get to an extreme low which means I’m on my feet nonstop. People misconstrue what Rob says about evening etc. normal low is all he is talking about and I consider 6’4.25 or 6’4.25-.3 my normal low. It isn’t like her measuring him an hour or two earlier makes him 6’5 or probably even 6’4 7/8 if she really did measure him at 6’4.75”

@Dillon: Kobe was at most an inch taller back to back. Strahan was measured 6’4.25 but not sure if that was a low or if he’s lost a fraction from the injuries etc. I have Strahan at 6’4”. The other variable is if Strahan had been up longer, he would’ve lost more height than Kobe. Remember that Strahan is the host of the show so he was definitely at the studio before Kobe at minimum.

So I guess Barkley 6’4 5/8”, Jordan 6’4 1/2”, and Kobe 6’4 3/4” is the conclusion I have come to. I could see Jordan and Kobe squeezing out an 1/8 or 1/4 over those figures, but I will stick to those estimates. Jordan may just be someone who can pass for taller at times, but really is similar to Manganiello at 6’4 1/2”.

@Rob since most people don't measure their heights with stadiometers how accurate do you think their reported measured heights are? Could Kobe have gotten 6'4.75" in one measurement and perhaps 6'5" in another one? With the 6'4.75" not necessarily the accurate one.

@Fried Chicken: yea he had him by an inch. But in Kobe’s case he supposedly road in the helicopter pretty often as a means of transportation around LA (not sure if it’s the case here) but if he did he had the benefit of being reclined. That could be a factor in how he looked at the stadium or other pics (maybe not with Strahan). I say that because 6’4.75 was likely his low as opposed to a midday or 2-3 hours after waking so if he maintained 6’5 from being reclined it explains it. With Strahan, I believe what you said to be the case. Strahan had been up longer and Strahan is likely a solid 6’4” (combine measurement was 6’4.25). Not sure if he’s lost a fraction today. We’re also not sure who’s shoe was thicker. Kobe when wearing a dress shoe, so I noticed, almost always had a 1.2” on. You start to factor in 1/4” or 1/8” apiece that explains why there was so much difference. But Kobe was likely not 6’4.5 like he claimed. Instead 6’4.75 like his wife measured him (6’5.5 out of bed would be reasonable)

Michael Strahan looked that much shorter because he'd be up considerably longer than Kobe because he was the tv show host and the former is a guest.

6’5” isn’t impossible, he certainly looked it quite often, but 6’4.75” is also a good estimate.

I doubt he was a legit 6’5 guy in the afternoon seeing more pics. If anything maybe he was right at 195-195.1 range and was rounded to 3/4”. Jordan would be about .3” less at that stage which is why Kobe appeared a bit taller. Still a 6’4.8 measurement is adequate enough to claim 6’5”

195cm seems right. A 6'5'' claim wouldn't be unreasonable.

@Duhon: actually his first season I think he was listed 6’6” then changed to 6’7” when he played more small forward when Eddie Jones was still starting and Kobe was the 6th man. Remember as a rookie he was bald then had the Afro his second year. Definitely by his 3rd year he was starting and Jones was still there until he was traded and they picked up Glen Rice. Kobe played the 3 when Jones started I remember. Then moved back to the starting 2 when Jones left since Rice played 3. There have been some guys such as Gerald Wallace that have gotten a stronger listing than they should have. Supposedly, Wallace is also 6’4.5-6’5 range. The other variable is time of day. If Kobe got the early morning combine measurement a 6’7 listing wouldn’t be a terrible listing being 6’5.25 barefoot or 6’5 1/8 after 2 or 3 and since the NBA doesn’t do 1/8” increments they’d give him 1/4”, and then 6’6.5 in bball sneakers. I could see Kobe as a solid 6’5.5” out of bed when he was living and an afternoon height of 6’4.75 if that’s the case. But seeing Kobe next to Caron Butler, Butler looked taller. Butler also looked close to his pre draft height of 6’5.25 in person. Very worst he would be is something like 196cm but the 5.25 is a decent measurement for him seeing as how he looked about an inch taller than me. Then you have a guy like Tobias Harris who measured 6’6.5 barefoot and got a 6’9 listing. However on the flip side, some guys measured over their barefoot listing and were rounded down. That’s provided the measurements were barefoot and not really a shoe measurement being no shoe measurement existed for either guy. I’m speaking of Rodney Rogers and Scottie Pippen both of whom had 6’7.5 mesurments and were listed 6’7”and Kevin Garnett had a 6’11” listing when we can all agree that he’s that height barefoot. I doubt Pippen and Rogers measure either of those heights barefoot in the afternoon but Pippen arguably looked 6’7” at times. Other times maybe 6’6.5-6’7 range.

Kobe was listed at 6'7" when he first entered the league, that leads me to think he did measure about 6'5" barefoot at least initially. I can't think off-hand of any 6'4.75" players who have or got a 6'7" height listing by the NBA?

6'5" at low for Carter makes sense, since he was measured 6'5.5" (possibly morning). A good rule of thumb is to deduct 1/2" for lows.

@Vincent: it’s hard to tell from the pic he posted but I could see that being Vince has a slight footwear advantage. I’ve seen people online that have met Vince say he was as low 6’4.5” and then Richard Jefferson said 6’4.5 or 6’5 or on good day. My personal guess is that he’s 6’5” flat afternoon height. He was given 6’5.5 at the combine but he never looks that tall. He looked shorter than Dr. J in their pic and most people here argue Dr J at his peak only being 6’5.5 or 6’5.75

I always knew he wasn’t as tall as Kobe but he looks small. Then Ray looks close to 4” shorter than Big Dog in some of those pics. And only maybe 2” taller than Cassell, I wonder if Bug Dog was his listed height barefoot. He could look it at times then at other times 6’6.5 perhaps

If properly standing straight measure Kobe i don't think he is ever lower than 195cm. Peopl don't always had perfect posture walk out the street. Some claim they seen Kobe in real and he look 6'4-1/4-1/2 some say 6'5 and some say more and truth is just with posture, shoes and ground. The one see him lower because he might had poorer posture that day or just less footwear than the sighters claim and people sees him higher than listed is because the ground he walk pass or walk up the person helps a little bit. Simple as that. Michael Strahan isn't a guy under 6'4 yet and Kobe had him by an easy 2cm in different occasion which prove it right on Vanessa Bryant claim on Kobe's 6'3/4 w/o shoes and mostly a lowest measurement.

Indeed. I feel Bo would be taller than Kobe. He honestly looks almost the same as Anthony Joshua, with Greg Davies. With footwear advantage, Anthony looked taller than Rick Fox, who beats out Kobe Bryant.
The 6’5.5” listing works, well too. Honestly, based on how Bo and Anthony stacks up with Greg Davies, Bo seems like he would edge out someone like Wladimir Klitschko.

@Dream: agreed. I could see the listing for Bo being a good listing for him or 1/4” less max. You and I were also responsible for the first 1/4” as he was initially listed at 6’5” flat! It’d be interesting to see him next to Christian and to see if there is a noticeable difference. MWP and a peak Stern also fall into that category. And we can potentially throw a peak Tom Noonan in there

Most likely not. If he is, it's only by 1/8" at most IMO. I can't really see him being under 196cm.

Kobe would have an edge on MCW, but I don't think it's much. You could argue about 1/2 inch between them though. I wouldn't put it as 3/4 inch.
I think Bo is a strong inch taller than than MCW, if we are going by headlines. His left right brow is nearing MCW's headline, even while slouching.
Feel free to disagree with me, once again, folks. I'm only observing by their headlines and Bo and Kobe's listings hold up, easily.

@Christian and Dream: MCW got a 6’5” listing under the “new” “unofficial” (I digress) standard. So I believe his 6’4,75 morning height. He’s probably just about identical with me in height whereas Kobe would’ve probably been 1/2” taller than him in that pic

@Christian oops! Yeah. I agree! Sorry! I should’ve discovered that, a while ago! The clip is still far better than the other pictures I sent before. They’re close, but I think Kobe edges out MCW.
@Rob what about at 0:02 seconds, where Kobe Bryant briefly lifts his head up? I’m not saying either really looks taller. I’m just pointing Kobe and MCW do look close in height. I wished I discovered this clip, sooner.
Looking at them, I think Bo is comfortably taller than MCW, despite Bo slouching. Bo’s right eyebrow is nearly reaching MCW’s headline, which would indicate at least an inch if not a tiny bit more. Feel free to disagree with me though.

@Junior: that was my guess for Theus was 6’5.25 and 6’6 out of bed. It’s possible Kobe had 1/4” more shoe and that he wasn’t on his feet as long that day. I don’t think it’s the case there in that video because Kobe was younger but I wonder upon facts being revealed after his passing if him traveling by helicopter may have helped him preserve height during the day if he were reclined. I’ve always wondered why he looked taller at times but he may have been 195-195.2 or something. Then again 1/2” between two people is indistinguishable at times, especially when someone has a camera advantage
@Jdubbz: I guess if the 6’4 15/16 measured that straight out of bed they could be 6’4 flat although it would likely include an extreme low. But Christian is implying an afternoon or near a low so a near enough 6’5” guy

A 6'4 15/16" guy at his low claiming 6'4", is just as inaccurate as a 6'5 1/16" guy at his low claiming 6'6". Both are inflating/downgrading 15/16" of an inch at the end of the day.
I agree with what you're saying, but one could argue that a guy who is 6'5 1/16 at his low could potentially measure 6'6 at one point in the day (though very briefly), whereas a 6'4 15/16" guy will never measure anything nearly as low as 6'4 at any point in the day. One of those is claiming morning height, while the other is claiming a height that is an inch under what he'd measure under the worst conditions.

@Christian: Excellent point on your part! It goes hand in hand with what Both of us have said on the GH forum before that if we gained height throughout the day instead of losing it, we would likely see a different pattern on Celebheights. You would see people claiming their afternoon heights who would otherwise claim their morning height and the reasoning that they use now would no longer apply. To add to that although society has conditioned us to believe that, people who are Much shorter would inflate someone to a height that is not really necessary such as 6’6” Or 6’8” when in reality I’m sure if some of those people were really that height and didn’t use it for Pro Sports, they would probably be miserable. Most assume taller is better until you reach a height that is very uncomfortable. Not something like you or I are at our current heights, more like 6’6-6’9 range or taller

Excellent point! Other than the fact that height is more visually distinguishable than age, it also has to do with the fact that the less value, the better, when it comes to age, but more is better with height, since we live in a society where it's conditioned to us that younger and taller are more desirable. If the roles were reversed, in that older and shorter are better, then everyone would round up when it comes to age, and round down when it comes to height.

Canson said on 8/Mar/20
@Christian: also while I would agree with the age argument in a perfect world, it wouldn’t fly with height in the world we live in, because height is more of a visual characteristic than age. There’s too much wiggle room and, unfortunately, too many variables. And It’s a lot harder to tell how old someone is than it is to tell how tall they are. So if you have two 45 year olds, one may appear to look 45 or even 55 whereas one may look 35. But age is more defined and little wiggle room with it. With height, while there are variables, the eye test is more concrete, and if two guys stood next to one another to compare heights they obviously would stand completely straight to achieve the best outcome. In the world we live in, most people want to be as tall as they can. And if you get 3 guys who compare barefoot, who are 6’5”, 6’4.75, and 6’4”, the first two will look pretty much the same during the comparison whereas there will be a pronounced difference with them and the 6’4” guy. If people are assessing them, assuming they are all equal (barefoot), anyone judging the comparisons will automatically call the 6’4.75 guy 6’5 by deduction if the 6’4 guy is noticeably shorter. While 1/4” Difference could be seen with some, albeit few, people, a 1/16” difference is impossible for anyone to see. At that stage, the person would have to claim 6’5” to avoid downplaying whereas a person who is 45 and 11 months would claim 45 just as a person who turned 45 last week would and if we looked at their IDs it would be them being the same age or one would say that they’re 11 months younger or older than the other.

I didn’t lie about anything. And I didn’t say you accused him of rape. I said that you brought up the allegations. So you want to accuse me of having “cognition” issues when it’s clear that you’re talking about yourself. But that doesn’t surprise me because you misinterpreted my entire post and became insulting toward me because I didn’t agree with you when I actually was agreeing with your logic. And What do his rape charges/allegations have to do with his height? So Don’t misrepresent what I say or put words in my mouth. It isn’t a cognition issue here Thereel. This is you making excuses now and playing the “persecution card” with the “good person” etc when you have no room to talk. You clearly brought up the situation and said he was not a good person for “lying to a terminally ill kid” when you have absolutely no proof that he did. You need to practice what you preach because you are obviously a hypocrite telling someone they need to be a good person. And the context in which you brought it up was that because he lied to a kid about his height and the way he was charged with rape, you made it sound as if he were lying about his height for that reason. Well, he was measured at 6’4.75 by his wife and you were just the one who said himself that a 6’4.75 guy is 6’4. Do you not remember that? So how is he lying?

@Thereel: baseline common sense? Hmmm? You are the one sitting here saying that people who are within X-X.99 are supposed to round down? And you see that nobody here has bothered to reply to you (which is the norm here on Celebheights) other than myself and Cmillz, which he wisely stopped after 1 post being he saw how tedious and useless a discussion with you is. You obviously lack common sense and appear to have very little going for you which is why you cling on to being a free agent basketball player and brag about your height on this site and how long you’ve been here (since 2010). The only thing you have is a very hurt and inflated ego with the way you are. You sound very ignorant and very childish and you appear to have a reading comprehension problem as anyone else can read the posts below that I made to you which you obviously can’t. So speaking of common sense, since you like to pull the “Canson met several celebs card”, again where is your Pic with Big Stormzy? You claimed to meet him and immediately listed that you can’t share details? Hmmm? Yet you criticize me about me not posting? But speaking of Big Stormzy let’s say you both measured standing straight barefoot of course and he were 6’4 7/8 and you are 196cm like you claimed. That’s very possible being you just said that you agreed with me I’m not seeing 1/4” difference (or in your case 3/4 you said under other factors). So you said clearly that Stormzy was 6’5” and you’re 6’5? Yet you just posted your diatribe stating why we as people are not allowed to round up at all? So you just tripped yourself up there.

Fair enough you got me the one thing I said that wasn't logical and you pulled me up on it well done doesn't negate the other things I said, and more importantly in real life people by and large only deal with full inches so when people say "he's at least 6'4 maybe 6'5" they are obviously not talking anything below 6'4 1/2" that is common sense, I'm not going to keep on explaining what should be obvious, your just being stubborn for the sake of stubborn, I don't believe you lack this basic level of inference as since you are 37 or 38 (oh sorry I meant 37 and three quarters up through 38) and also are earning a living I assume you have at least baseline common sense

You are here saying “you can’t” do something or that you didn’t say it’s ok and you say it on authority based on how long you’ve been a poster, Thereel? I don’t take direction from you by the way because you don’t own the site. Rob does. And You’ve commented before To me on me being a “newbie” when I had already been here 3 years or so in your post back to me so it’s Clear the real issue is that you don’t respect anyone who hasn’t been on Celebheights as long as you have or who people respect more than you. And anyone who can retain what they read and what I wrote can see I didn’t say I was a fan of rounding. I’ve actually spoken out about “too much rounding before”. So you put words in my mouth (very childish) because I challenged you and you have no Rebuttal but several others here on this site have actually said you can round up yet you don’t say a word to them but because they didn’t challenge your post. But as Expected, most people here won’t even bother commenting back to you because very few actually take you seriously. They think your comments are either a joke or that you yourself are a joke which doesn’t seem far fetched. and I made The mistake responding myself as did Cmillz although he stopped after 1 post because he was able to tell that it is a vicious circle of stupidity.
And now you are making excuses about Glucosamine, posture and breathing or whatever else the case may be because you don’t actually believe what you’re saying is true and because I differed. And You didn’t say any of that. You said anyone 6’4-6’4.99 (I’m assuming) can’t round up. It doesn’t matter about any of the excuses you made because when they measure physically that’s all that matters. So if one measures standing straight and the other does standing straight that one of the two would not be physically taller with scientific proof? Obviously an 1/8” could vary but a person who is 3/4” taller by tape is a fact. 3/4” would be noticeable and that’s if “all things were equal“ posture etc shoes, which I would hope you would understand being youve convinced yourself that your an expert and you like to brag to anyone who listens how long you’ve been or how long they haven’t been here or how you brag to people about being taller than everyone else on this site at 6’5“+. And it Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that. But I wouldn’t expect any less considering that none of your posts make any logical sense which is why no one else bothers with you. So instead you have to make excuses and twist words or lie when someone calls you on your bullsh*t or condescending ways. And You just said someone who is less than 195.8 is a weak 6’5”? So what about someone who measures it earlier In the day and claims it? They would’ve measured it at some point during the day. Which is why Rob’s definition is 1/4-1/3” under the 6’5 mark for weak 6’5. But we know why he runs the site and not you. But you think you’re the authority based on your tenure of making useless nonsense comments here and telling me I can’t round up or because you say so 😂.
And it’s funny that you have used that argument against me previously about me “meeting celebs” but not posting pictures yet you also claimed to meet Stormzy on his page and you conveniently and quickly said “you can’t post the picture here on this site”. And that you’re a basketball player which I’ll reserve judgment on. Not worth it because Your thoughts speak for what type of poster you are since you are speaking of whether someone is legitimate or not. Talk is cheap. So like I said I’ll digress because I don’t believe that you actually take yourself or your very ignorant arguments seriously.

Again I call bullsh*t because you despised Kobe and anyone who’s been here long enough knows it. You practically said it when you called him a horrible person. So don’t go saying you were a fan of his now after he passed. You wouldn’t have said any of this had he not passed away tragically like he did. You were the same one mocking him for being a bad person for “lying to a kid” about his height because he claimed 6’4” to him. But later said below that a person who measures 6’4 15/16 (Kobe actually measured 6’4.75) should claim and is considered 6’4”. So you obviously don’t believe what you say as is evidenced Among other things you said to me or in the past to others. But You don’t like when people call you on it is what it is and feel entitled due to your time here on the site. And then you even took to his rape charges, which were dropped and he was never convicted of, and which by the way have nothing to do with his height. So yep you said it well but about the Wrong person. You are not a legitimate poster here.
And by the way: “I don't consider you a legitamate poster anyways, the comment was more for everyone else on this board , (no offense).”
So if I’m not intended for the comment you posted, why was it addressed to Christian and Canson? And not just Christian and the rest of the board? And why did you say before that I’ve guessed a few celebs right in a previous post to me? Maybe you’re senile and forgot or you just don’t believe what you actually say? It probably was but now it
Sounds as if the tone has changed simply because I don’t say you’re right about all of it and differed in opinion.

You are here saying “you can’t” do something or that you didn’t say it’s ok and you say it on authority based on how long you’ve been a poster, Thereel? I don’t take direction from you by the way because you don’t own the site. Rob does. And You’ve commented before To me on me being a “newbie” when I had already been here 3 years or so in your post back to me so it’s Clear the real issue is that you don’t respect anyone who hasn’t been on Celebheights as long as you have or who people respect more than you. And anyone who can retain what they read and what I wrote can see I didn’t say I was a fan of rounding. I’ve actually spoken out about “too much rounding before”. So you put words in my mouth (very childish) because I challenged you and you have no Rebuttal but several others here on this site have actually said you can round up yet you don’t say a word to them but because they didn’t challenge your post. But as Expected, most people here won’t even bother commenting back to you because very few actually take you seriously. They think your comments are either a joke or that you yourself are a joke which doesn’t seem far fetched. and I made The mistake responding myself as did Cmillz although he stopped after 1 post because he was able to tell that it is a vicious circle of stupidity.
And now you are making excuses about Glucosamine, posture and breathing or whatever else the case may be because you don’t actually believe what you’re saying is true and because I differed. And You didn’t say any of that. You said anyone 6’4-6’4.99 (I’m assuming) can’t round up. It doesn’t matter about any of the excuses you made because when they measure physically that’s all that matters. So if one measures standing straight and the other does standing straight that one of the two would not be physically taller with scientific proof?

Oh and how is .75 closer to 1/2” than a full inch?

@Thereel: I think .75 is fair to round up. There’s enough of a difference between say 6’4 and 6’4.75.
no its not thats just a extra quarter inch on top of the half a inch, and yourself agree the quarter inches are negligible/impossible to notice, so go make the same argumument for half then, and as already stated the TINIEST differernces in posture will nock that 3/4 inch difference down to 3/8th's , you don't really expect "two people out in public" to be standing with the EXACT SAME POSTURE, really?, cmon Canson you should know this since you act all height aware, realisticly your going to have to get those two to go back to back, only then would you expect the two to match each others posture for a significant duration of time, although posture is the biggest variable, uneven flooring and hairstyle differences are also still signicant variables as well, BUT POSTURE IS THE BIGEST ONE VARIABLE, no two people are going to be standing with the exact same posture at one time, VERY RARELY, and even if they did it would likely only be for a very brief moment, (if they ever did at all of course,) ., 3/4's isn't even worth counting and is even mathamatically closer to 1/2 then the 1nch, stop reaching canson, why dont you just go ahead and say 37 and three quarters the next time someone asks your age or just say 38 then?, problem thinking.

Sorry Thereel but nobody here can take you seriously with some of the things you say here. You’re saying that a person who is 6’4.75 can’t round to 6’5? And also you accuse Kobe of being 6’5.75 yet have no evidence to back it up. This is after his wife measured him at 6’4.75. Rob even said that Rick Fox who clearly is taller than Kobe didn’t look The full 6’6” in person. I’m sure that if Kobe were that tall Rob would list him well over 6’5”. As far as Carmelo that’s fine If you don’t believe me I can really care less. But he’s also listed at his draft height here and that’s what he measured when drafted. And last but not least, you even brought his rape charges into the discussion previously as if it “had something to do with his height”. You mentioned that’s why you don’t believe him about his height and why you think he’s downplaying it? How silly does that sound? And You’re simply now doing this to be disrespectful for no reason. I’ll just end my discussion because obviously it’s going nowhere and you are just being childish and petty now due to me not agreeing with you when in reality I don’t because you are simply forcing your beliefs on everyone else here. I at least was being civil but it’s clear you can’t be. And I never said that you were wrong with you’re thinking. Obviously if differences are that close you stand them up together to measure back to back. I didn’t say any of that wasn’t true and you are simply acting as if I did and making something out of nothing here. I simply said that I don’t see an issue with someone rounding to 6’5 from 6’4.75. You see Cmillz said the same thing here but you didn’t say anything to him. So I see you are trying to start an argument which I don’t have the energy for at this point. Ok that’s fine if you feel that an inch covers etc. but fact is whether you or I like it, people do round up. And legitimate poster, I can’t take you seriously as one with the things you’ve said here. So if I am not a legitimate poster then why did you respond to this post or post to Christian and me? Sounds as if it is fine when someone is agreeing with “lamed brain” thinking that you accused me of but not when I’m not? And we’ve been down the path about age already. Didn’t I clearly say that I agree with you? Did you misunderstand what I said or are you unable to comprehend or just being childish at this point?

Canson I'm afraid i'm now starting to find you much too tedious , you demonstrate incredibly lame brained thinking to me, YOU CAN NOT ROUND HEIGHT. I never said it was ok to round a 1/16th learn to fricken read, I simply said you might get away with it under a stadiometer by doing the "Bust a Gut method" , or might measure 6'5" by taking glucosamine supplementation for a few weeks, if somehow you still measured the 6'4 15/16ths under the stadiometer after 8 hours out of bed, then he is not 6'5 he is 6'4, since your such a fan of rounding canson. I'm just going to go ahead and call you 38, just like my mum used to when I was a teenager and wanted me to grow up!, Youve made your bed now lay in it!, and dont when you get to 38 and 2/3rds I will just go ahead and round that up too!, its what you beleive in after all!
Thereel that was not really necessary. I actually was agreeing with most of what you said. Cmillz asked the question to you and I actually was supporting what you were saying and defended it. Not sure if you saw but I mentioned the thing about age as well and agree on it. All I said was my opinion about rounding up 1/4” only because That’s pretty customary. I didn’t say someone should or shouldn’t do it. All I said was that I don’t see an issue with it. I do wish that height were as cut and dry as she in that the 6’4-6’4.75 say were just 6’4 or we just use metric because of the amount of distance between say 6’4 (193) and 6’4.77 (195) and that doesn’t even cover the last .22”. Now as far as 15/16, I said that because it’s too close to 6’5” not to round up to the mark. But You said learn to frickin read?
Canson said on 7/Feb/20
@Cmillz: I agree with you with 15/16 but I think What Thereel is saying is a bit different. He’s saying inside of the whole number. And he is right about age. It’s funny when Someone claims say 6’2 1/2 it’s always something to round to 6’3” whether on them or on someone else’s behalf. And that’s if they want to claim it or not. In some cases they don’t. I’m one of them if I landed 1/4” taller I would just Claim 1/2 I wouldn’t care about rounding up. But when you say someone is 30 that is 28.5 or 29 and 4 months or 7 months it’s always an issue
Canson said on 5/Feb/20
@Thereel: I really like your thinking when it comes to the whole number
I also like your thought process when it comes to age. Because I’ve said that. It’s funny when people claim 5’11 1/2 someone will tell them to claim 6’0” or they will feel entitled to yet when you tell a person who is closer to a certain age that they balk at you

@Thereel: I think .75 is fair to round up. There’s enough of a difference between say 6’4 and 6’4.75. Now if you’re say 6’4 3/8 or 5/8, 6’4 1/2” I think is the better claim. I’m ok with someone who is 6’4.75 rounding to 6’4.5 although they’re fractionally closer to 6’5 just as a 6’4.25 guy rounding to 6’4.5” only difference is that 6’4.25 rounding to 6’4.5 will try to use that to bill themselves 6’5” on paper while someone who is 6’4.75 rounding to 6’4.5 will likely still be billed 6’5 on paper. I do agree with your logic however, regarding, the whole number logic

Lool i gain 1/16th just by taking a big yawn, alot of us can gain 1/8th just simply by taking glucosamine supplementatiion, somehow I think the "6'4" 15/16ths guy is in the clear, if its 6'4 3/4 thats the problem, as you dont simply gain a 1/4 just simply by popping a glucosamine tablet, hell the 6'4 15/16ths guy could proberly gain a 1/16th by taking a sh**!, cmillz your just strenghthening my argument my guy!, and plus I dont think theres really any such way to track 1/16th inches so those guys most likely would get a pass, plus they could just do the Bust a Gut method to gain that 1/16th or 1/8th anyways, or just yawn and violla a 1/16th gained!

A 3/4 inch IS VISIBLE (even in person) of course it is, its just that the slightest differences in posture beetween the two people would nock it down to a 3/8th and 1/4 inch differential, and boom you would no longer see it, hence why you really need to it to be a full inch+, beetween the two for there to look like a consistent visible differeintial, if you guys here actually get out and see people, that much should be obvious , once again if were talking about CONSISTENT VISIBLE HEIGHT DIFFEREINTIAL, a three quarter inch just won't do the trick, i'm sorry but its the truth

@Cmillz: I agree with you with 15/16 but I think What Thereel is saying is a bit different. He’s saying inside of the whole number. And he is right about age. It’s funny when Someone claims say 6’2 1/2 it’s always something to round to 6’3” whether on them or on someone else’s behalf. And that’s if they want to claim it or not. In some cases they don’t. I’m one of them if I landed 1/4” taller I would just Claim 1/2 I wouldn’t care about rounding up. But when you say someone is 30 that is 28.5 or 29 and 4 months or 7 months it’s always an issue

Pretty dumb way of thinking. So if a guy is 6’4 15/16, then he should claim 6’4?

@Thereel: I really like your thinking when it comes to the whole number but at 6’4.75 and 6’4 flat you would see a difference. I generally see it at half most of the time. I think less is suspect but 3/8” maybe. Less than 3/8” is very difficult. 6’4.75 is ok for 6’5” imho. I know Christian is a proponent of 5/8-3/8 being an inch. I think 3/4-1/4 really and the 1/4-3/8 is kinda a grayer area same with 5/8-3/4. Half to me is afternoon height of 3/8-5/8”. If we want to call it the full inch then 7/8 onward. But the key is consistent and you’re right. I’ve seen a guy who is 6’5.5 that claims 6’5.5 and 6’6” and he appears shorter than me due to the poor posture. In reality he’s taller than me by at least an inch when he stands straight
I also like your thought process when it comes to age. Because I’ve said that. It’s funny when people claim 5’11 1/2 someone will tell them to claim 6’0” or they will feel entitled to yet when you tell a person who is closer to a certain age that they balk at you

Oh and one thing a weak "6'5"" should be NOTHING UNDER SIX-FIVE!!! 195.58 cm's at WORST!!!, If someone isn't even SIX-FIVE! I don't quite know how your calling them a "weak" 6'5", you do realise to be what you call a "weak 6'5" YOU ACTUALLY WOULD NEED TO BE SIX-FIVE FIRST RIGHT?,when they actually get to bang on 6'5" then you can say weak until approximately 6'5 1/8th, then after the eighth or a quarter, I guess it could be solid or whatnot, up until the 1/2" mark then beginning at 6'5 1/2" it should be "strong" up until the number no longer has is a "5" in it, but is a "6", you see how that works #logic anything else is problem thinking

to Christian and Canson and all it may concern important notice, this is how it works your either 6'5" or 6'4" it's either one or the other, 6'4 3/4's is just not a real height, I think you mean 6'4, CLUE if it's Six-four ANYTHING then it's Six-four, height like age is one of those that can't be rounded, if you saw two people in public near each other one being 6'4" and the over 6'4 3/4's I can assure you, you would not see consistent visible height differential in the 6'4 3/4 dudes favour, 3/4's of a inch can vanish EXTREMELY easily, especially between the very tall, who can casually drop 3cm's like it's nothing while still looking casually relaxed, slouching only starts to look really excessive at 4 CM'S+ when we talk about the very tall. I easily shrink down to my mates 6'4" height in pictures, in fact in a few pictures he looks a half inch taller if anything!, and with very similar footwear as well!, that's why most of you are wrong, oh that as well as your blatant cognitive biases which just come with being human I guess, it's still all love though

@Christian: right there’s no conceivable chance of that because he’s not as tall as Carmelo Anthony or Paul Pierce. He really just looked 6’4.75 max with either guy. If he really were 6’5.75” he’d be listed 6’7”. He was listed 6’7” for maybe a Couple years when Los Angeles still had Eddie Jones and Kobe played Small forward (and had the Afro). Kobe even mentioned early in his career only being 6’5 despite being listed 6’7”

Basketball sneaks add 1.25” generally or 1.5 in a thicker sole. Kobe was likely right at 6’6 in them or perhaps 6’6-6’6 1/8 range making him 6’4.75 or 6’4.75-6’5 range without them. The 6’4.75 looks pretty accurate as an afternoon height. If we are talking lunchtime maybe 6’4 7/8”. Rob doesn’t always list at a lunchtime height even tho that’s the standard. Many are listed at combine measurements which are early morning some at afternoon heights like Kobe. But unfortunately you have people here who challenge his measurement being too low and not the combine measurements which are explicitly said to be morning or they argue that he “was measured at night” when night and afternoon height are Usually the same. Rob also claims his afternoon height 5’8 1/8” as 5’8.25 is his lunchtime if he’s not active

Odd that he would have a short wife. Kobe would have had a lot of buying power on the marriage market-that is, he would have had a good selection of available mates, so height couldn't have meant much to him as a criterion for choosing a wife. I have always thought that most people choose marriage partners who share their general personal characteristics, and tall people tend to marry similarly tall people. When a short man ends up with a taller wife it is because he has money and status that make up for the gap in height. But maybe vert tall men don't really care how tall their wives are, because all women are shorter than they are anyway.

@Joe: I wonder if Ball is really 6’4.5. JT met him and said 6’4” and he looks short with Magic and Brandon Ingram who turned out to only be 6’7” range. Ingram’s measurement shocked me as I figured minimum 6’8” but that makes sense being Kuzma measured 6’8 at the combine (6’7.5 likely for his afternoon) and he could sometimes look taller than Ingram or the same height

@Dillon: that was my extreme low. My normal is 6’4.25-.3. My extreme is like 193.1 or .2. That was also a gym day where I was on my feet all day and lifted heavy

if you managed to measure 6'4.75 the afternoon is a must claim, dillon you are probably a little taller than 6'4.5 lonzo ball.

Yes Click Here here they have 4.5 inches different between them with Henry and we claimed Henry is 186 cm now, I think Kobe is a strong 6 ft 5 1/2

@Canson At home measuring myself with a flat box over my head in the bathroom facing the wall, I measure around 6’4.75 take or give a little during any point of the afternoon or night.

@Canson So if I shrink down at close to your rate, I would be a little less than 6’4.5 by the end of the day. I wish I had a stadiometer like Rob’s to measure myself rather than the old fashioned way cause I’m almost always measured less at the doctor’s.

@Joe: he may lose more than the average guy. His size. Or it may be because he is on his feet and measuring so maybe 6’4.5 at an extreme low. I would be a flat 6’4 at mine and wake up 6’5”. But 6’4.25 is my real afternoon height even tho I claim 6’4 as my height

@Canson Also I have a very long upper body. Not super long legs. So most of my height is in my spine.

@Canson I measure taller at home then at doctor’s office so that accounts for that discrepancy. I think 6’4.5 is the honest claim for me. 6’5 seems too high and 6’4 too low.

@Dillon: that doesn’t sound right. If 6’5.5 out of bed you should still be 6’5 two hours after waking. Maybe 6’4.5-.75 really 6’4.75 at a normal low. I’m half inch shorter out of bed 6’5 and I’m 6’4.25 afternoon height. I only hit 6’4 flat at an extreme low.

I measured myself at about 6’4.8 and about 6’4.6, 2 1/2 hrs out of bed at the doctor’s office. Idk why the measurements were so different, but clearly I’m a weak 6’5 at very best. I think 6’4.5 is probably my best bet in terms of what I should claim when asked.

@Viper: always possible he’s 6’4.8 and Jordan 6’4.4-.5 range. They don’t look that far apart but prob CM. To be honest I buy 1/4”. It looked more maybe later in Jordan’s career. Carter looks to have more on Jordan than Kobe does and Carter is shorter than Dr J
6’4.5 MJ
6’4,75 Kobe
6’5 or 6’5 1/8 Vince Carter

@Canson I’m 6’4.6 at the end of days where I come back from moderate to heavy basketball in the evening. I’m kinda in that area where I don’t know what to claim. I’ve claimed both 6’4 and 5 on multiple occasions. I’m 6’5.5 ish out of bed.

@Dream: my estimates:
Kobe 6’4.75 as listed
Vince Carter 6’5 (at times he looks taller than Kobe) 6’5 1/8 max
MCW my height maybe 6’4 3/8 best case or in between the two
Burnham anywhere between 196-197 6’5.25-.5
MWP 6’5.25-.5

True too. I think if anything, Metta World Peace is definitely taller than Kobe. A slouching Bo Burnham even looks taller than Kobe Bryant, with Michael Carter Williams. Vince Carter also looks a bit taller than Kobe. Those three reasons are why, I think Kobe isn't 197 cm.

@Dream: Manning would prob be 6’5 afternoon height. That surprises me that he’s close to his listing tho. He can look 6’5.25 at times. Manning looks taller than Kobe at times but other times no. But I’d say 6’5-6’5.25 for him 6’4.75 Kobe as listed.
@Viper: combine yes but afternoon 6’4.75 fits. Maybe he is more 6’4.8-.85 and his wife rounded down. 1/3” taller than Jordan. He didn’t look 1/2” taller

@Viper and Junior: my opinion is his 6’4.75 would be afternoon and 6’5 1/8 or 6’5.25 would be the combine height like Viper said. I doubt 6’4.75 is his extreme low.he looks shorter than Vince Carter and Carter is only 6’5”. 6’5.5 is his combine and Carter was slightly shorter than Dr J. It’s possible Kobe could see 6’4.5 at an extreme low. Thus going by afternoon heights Rob has him listed fine. Going by midday (5 hours out of bed) maybe he should get 6’4 7/8 but not 6’5” I doubt. But if there ever were a celeb accurately listed I think Kobe would be it along with maybe Carmelo Anthony. Melo is within 1/4” of his
