Rob in my opinion Jordan is taller than Barkley you have Barkley taller than Jordan, you listed Jordan at 6’4 3/4” and Barkley at 6’4 7/8”. My listing in my opinion Barkley 6’4 1/2” 6’4 5/8” and Jordan at maybe 6’4 7/8”
I think if Rob is going to be consistent, 6’4 3/4 for Jordan since he measured it at the Olympics and 6’4 5/8” for Barkley since he measured it

@Berta: I got a taller impression from Kobe than Jordan. I’d have give Jordan the measurement from when he was drafted 6’4.5”. 6’4.75 is likely a bit earlier in the day

wooow only 6+4 3/4 i thought he was at worst 6´5. i think the full 6´5 is better listing but the number must have come from a measurement.

@Fried Chicken: not to mention, Jordan wears an orthotic. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s only 1/2” between them with Jordan at 6’4.5. I use afternoon heights which in Jordan’s case, 6’4.5 would be his. So 6’5.25 out of bed. I don’t rule out a hair over that but I still think 6’4.75 for his afternoon is too high. But lunchtime is very possible if 6’4 5/8 was his afternoon instead

@Rising: how tall would you say Marcus Camby was/is? I would’ve guessed 6’10” but he really does look 6’11” next to Kenyon Martin. I’m thinking Martin may have only been 6’8 or so. He said once when they asked how tall he was in high school or college (I’ll find the interview) he said “6’8, about the same as I am now”. I heard it recently in an interview as a matter of fact. I’ll find it on YouTube. Camby is favored with KMArt though so he looks to have more height on him than he really does. Maybe 6’10.5 worst case for Camby?

@Rising: yea with Jordan, it’s hard to tell who is taller in the video which leads me to believe Spree is likely in the 6’4 range. He looked long next to him. I’d definitely give him 193 minimum and that’s prob fair with how he stacks up with 6’4.75 Allan Houston. He also claimed 6’4 but he could be a hair over. Maybe best case 6’4.25 but I’d go 6’4”-6’4 1/8 like a peak Liam Neeson. I would have Houston at Kobe’s height and Jordan just a touch shorter than them. I could believe 6’4.75 measurement for Jordan but I wouldn’t say it’s a low but maybe close to one? I could see 6’4 5/8 being the low if not 6’4.5”. I think Rob’s listing for him is much better at 6’4.75” than 5”. I’d like to see Sprewell added

6’4 7/8 out of bed 6’4 1/8 afternoon

Sprewell looked 6'4"+ to me in person towards the end of his time with the Knicks. I couldn't tell you if he was just a really solid 6'4" or closer to 6'4.5", but I will say he looked to tall to drop under 6'4".

Possible the picture was disadvantage of tilt down from the 7'2 guy angle and look at 7'0 Shaq head is much closer to the camera. I have check on this 7'2 guy IG also first thought of him lie several inches but figure out he was over 7'1 but how much i am not sure maybe just 7'1 1/2 round up 7'2, def not a full 7'2 as he claim but maybe it's a morning measurement he hit it.

@Vincent: I agree. maybe in Kobe’s case 6’4.8 (195-195.1) and Jordan 194.3ish which is why we could see the small difference. His wife may have rounded down a tad. Jordan at his peak I don’t rule out 6’4.5-.75 either. I would say he was right around the middle of the range 194.5-.6 versus falling to 194.9-195. At the latter stage he would’ve looked 6’5 almost exclusively like Kobe did where Jordan looked 6’4 on occasion more so than Kobe

I have Kobe as a very minimum 6’4.75” guy, maybe even the full 6’5”. Jordan I think may be 6’4.5-6’4.75”, maybe the former is more likely than the latter. There could have been 1/4 between the two.

@Junior: the only issue with 6’4.75 for Jordan is what you said about Kobe being taller or at least looking taller. Otherwise, no issue being that is closer to his actual listing than he initially was. I could buy his low being about 6’4 5/8 peak but not any higher. Barkley may also be that but not higher. Today I would say Barkley is not that height anymore and that he’s my height

That's just the way it is though. Same thing as a 20 year and 364 day old person not being able to legally buy or drink alcohol, while a 21 year old can. We can call it unfair all we want, but the law is always definite and precise.

The 1/4 downgrade on MJ do Kobe Bryant a justice. Like my older estimate that MJ is 6'4 3/4 or worst low 6'4 1/2 not sure if he is lower now. Charles Barkley i atually think his worst low was 6'4 5/8 as the Olympic described him. Kobe is def the tallest among three of them.

@Mr T Black: all In all, I think this is a better listing for him. I don’t rule out this as an afternoon height but I still lean toward 6’4.5.

Even if not as low as half I would guess Jordan falling closer to 6’4.5 than 6’5 in the afternoon

Maybe 4.75 is better for Jordan than 4.5. At the time it is a good start. Jordan did hold up well with Obama. I still think Kobe has the edge.

@Fried Chicken: Riley may have been talking about a pre draft measurement or a measurement at UNC. Roy Williams mentioned that he was 6’4.5” one year and grew to 6’6” then next. I think in shoes obviously and he didn’t look as if he actually grew that much when he was at UNC. If anything I believe him being 6’4” when he was in his freshman or sophomore year or possibly he was even a hair under and he may have grown to 6’4.5 (afternoon height) by the time he left. I don’t rule out something like 6’4 5/8” but he never looked like he was that close to 6’5 as he measured (6’4.75). That looks like a measurement earlier in the day. He doesn’t give the impression of Tiny Lister, Dan Snow or one of those other guys who actually measures 6’5” in the afternoon
@Fried Chicken: Riley may have been talking about a pre draft measurement or a measurement at UNC. Roy Williams mentioned that he was 6’4.5” one year and grew to 6’6” then next.

@Fried Chicken: I’m not even convinced MJ has lost 1/4”. I think he’s always Been a 6’4.5” guy at the lowest so 6’5.25 out of bed. Maybe he’s a hair over the mark in his prime and a hair under half now or right at it today but he still looks similar to how he did in his prime. But his height is mostly in his legs. Barkley on the other hand may have lost a fraction. Barkley carries more weight and has had hip replacements. Tbh I don’t know what he would measure today. I would say not much taller than me today at 6’4.25 and if he is it’s 194 if not he could be as low as 6’4” flat today. The issue with Barkley is his footwear. He didn’t look anything more than 6’4” with Calais Campbell or with Clark Kellogg. Campbell measured 6’7.75 early morning and he’s easily (at least) 3” shorter and Kellogg has 3” on him. Then with Jonathan Ogden people used that in the past to prove Barkley was 6’6” here but Ogden isn’t 6’9” like he’s listed. His combine measurement was a flat 6’8” and that was likely a morning measurement. More 6’7.5” too. But Barkley with Ogden may have been 194 range still

If he's lost anything i doubt it's really much notable. Maybe 1/4. He's holding up well in age compared to Barkley who most likely lost 3/8.

@Fried Chicken: I still am of the same opinion of Vincent and Recapa: but yea shoe height and then some (maybe 1/4”).
But I do want to note. George Gervin was always listed 6’7” when he played although he has claimed 6’8. Fast forward to 5:40 and he is obviously 6’7” next to Magic. He isn’t taller than Magic.

Him calling Jordan 6'6" was probably giving him a shoe height as well. I doubt Barkley's height perception is that off as there was very little between them.

Yes Barkley said that Jordan is taller so he needs a revision. I also think Barkley needs a peak and current he isn't as tall as before as shown with Kelogg. Though I'm not sure how he realized a 1/8 difference in person. Maybe he saw Michael Jordans measurment and saw .75 and his own measurment was somewhere in the 6'4.65 - 68 ish.

Yeah,out of him and Kobe he could be the shorter one although Kobe's head is certainly helping that illusion.While I can see a chance for 194,5cm I have to agree with Friedchicken that Riley was likely referring to that 6'4.75 measurement,just to imply that Jordan was measured under 6'5 which is indeed the case,I mean except from Riley's words we don't have any other mention that he was measured at 6'4.5(which doesn't mean he can't be 6'4.5 or 6'4 5/8).Ultimately I feel he could have been very similar to someone like Barkley,whether a few mms over or under is a mystery that we may never solve.

@Vincent, Tunman, and Duhon: the reason I’ve always said 6’4.5 (aside from the Kobe pics) is based on how he looks relative to Larry Bird and to others when they meet him. A guy that measures as high as 6’4.75 would almost always get guessed at 6’5 or 6’6 whereas a lot of people have met Jordan and said he looked 6’4ish whereas some say 6’5ish. Of course some say 6’6” too but a 6’4.75 guy at an afternoon height would be close to or right at 6’5 for most of or all of the day. But this listing is a good first step

@Tunman: I think all things considered this one is ok. It’s not an early morning at least even if he comes down further. As for Melo, that’s pretty close. If he’s less it’s probably not much more than maybe 1/8” if even that. I actually buy his being a low. For Jordan, this is probably a fair compromise being he never measured 6’5 and only has the 3 I mentioned. I still believe he falls to 6’4.5 but that would be at an afternoon height meaning 6’5.25 out of bed. If lunch that would equate to 6’4 5/8 so that’s 1/8” more if the case. Unless Rob has a specific 6’4.5 measurement on record he wouldn’t go lower than this.

Yeah 6'4.75 made sense indeed.
@Canson
While 6'4.5 isn't impossible I feel we have with Jordan a case where a guy was measured at his lowest,anyways clearly not in the morning,much like Carmelo Anthony whose listing here seems undisputable.At least it confirms what we long suspected,that he was measured just under 6'5.The question is:did Riley want to round Jordan's measurement down to 6'4.5 or was he truly measured at that mark?Idk,I feel the current mark is just the best compromise imo.

@Vincent: agreed! While I can see that measurement not quite being an afternoon height, it’s far better than 6’5”. The most I could conceivably see is 6’4 5/8 being his afternoon low but I think 6’4.5”. What’s odd is Barkley saying standing next to him he is taller lol. There are times when Jordan actually looks taller though but other times Barkley looks taller. IMHO with Kobe, I was able to see about 1/2” or maybe 1cm in the oic he had with Barkley but that’s likely Barkley after some height loss.

@Duhon:
If you look close enough at the picture MJ is getting edged dude. Also , you picked a different angle than my pic that was benefiting Jordan a little more than in mine. Go back to my picture and get a ruler, put it flat over your screen and you will see. C’mon man, it is pretty clear who had the edge. Also, no offense, but the second picture you got was just not very good. It was from a really low angle and looked a little closer to the left so it would be supporting Jordan more, while Kobe had bad posture and Jordan had good posture. The pic I posted they had a clearly good camera angle, no footwear differences, and pretty identical posture. Most pics from the court are not great for height comparisons. Anybody can post a bad picture and use it as evidence. See look-

Is Lebron really 6’11” and KD only 6’9” flat?

Is Kobe 6’6” and Jordan 6’4”?
Now let’s look back at the original pic I posted-
Click Here
Kobe is taller in that here is another one-
Click Here
Kobe is taller there also, but just barely.
In conclusion, there is quite enough evidence out there that points to Kobe being the taller of the two, but it really depends on which pictures you look at, and which pictures you WANT to look at. I am sure there are pictures you can find out there of MJ edging out 6’6” dudes, just like there is a pic of Yao edging out a 7’7” dude. Try to find the best pictures and evidence, and you will see who is the taller of the two.

Meant to say Kobe looks taller than Jordan imho. But it’s a marginal difference as Kobe can look the same or shorter at times. On balance, I think the 1/4” difference with Kobe being slightly taller is more likely. Rob reducing MJ to 6 4.75” at least corrects part of the problem

I mentioned it just over halfway through my video.
What was always interesting was that articles like NY Times mentioned Jordan was 6ft 4 for the Olympics...but they forgot to mention the fraction.
A journalist described how the media at 92 Olympics could look up the database with all the athlete information. So the guy mentions he looks up Jordan and his height is 6ft 4 and 3/4.
It's just a shame the journalist never mentioned any other heights stored!
Because this seems like an actual measurement by the team for their Roster, which was submitted to the Olympics.
therefore listing Jordan at 6ft 4.75 makes sense to me.
But I’ve always saying that all along as far as the 2” reduction not being accurate but Barkley’s being accurate at 6’4 5/8. I don’t think he and Jordan were 6’4 but I thought 6’4.5 to 6’5”. While 6’4.75 is more believable for him, I still don’t see it as a normal low for him. I see him measuring around 6’4.5 in the afternoon

@Vincent: while I could accept the 1/4” downgrade for MJ, I agree and always have that Kobe would be the taller of the two. If 1/4” is all Rob would give for the downgrade, Kobe may need to be upgraded to 6’5 lol. But I’ve seen pics with Caron Butler and Kobe. Butler looks taller imho. I’ve met Butler and I could give him his pre draft listing or worst case maybe 196cm. He looked as good a 6’5 as I’ve seen. Surely not early morning whereas Kobe looks a weak 6’5 by comparison imho. I think if we go with Butler at 6’5.25, Kobe at 6’4.75, MJ would get 6’4.5” also being he measured that when he was drafted according to Pat Riley

@Ricky84: look at someone like Caron Butler. 6’5.25 and received a 6’6.5 shoe measurement rounded to 6’7”. However his measurement is one of the ones that looks close to his afternoon height from having seen him in person. He certainly isn’t under 6’5” and my money is on him being over the mark than under being he looked close to an inch taller than me. Then you get someone like Jaylen Brown or DeMar Derozan who were measured the same and listed 6’7” prior to the 19-20 season. Both are now listed 6’6” but both of them are morning measurements. Brown looks max 6’5 and Derozan looks Kobe’s size

Jordan has never looked 6'6 to me, maybe around 6'4.5 is more accurate.
Gary Payton never looked 6'4, closer to 6'2.
Steve Nash never looked 6'3, maybe the 6'1 height on this site is more accurate.
Wade never looked 6'4 to me. Around 6'3 sounds more accurate.

@Ricky84: I think he’s 6’5.25 out of bed and 6’4.5 afternoon height. The most I could conceivably argue for his peak is 6’4 5/8” perhaps and 6’5 3/8” out of bed perhaps. I don’t rule out 1/8” more but I just don’t see it. He looks 6’4.5 with Larry Bird too. As for Scottie Pippen, I agree at times but I don’t know if Pippen was a true 6’7” either. Meaning he could’ve been weak. I saw pics of him when he played and he looked over 2” shorter than 6’9” Horace Grant.

@Christian: I’ve seen a normal low but never extreme. A guy like Eric Gordon or Russell Westbrook being 6’2 or 6’2.25 would be a normal low imho. They were measured in 2008 and in the afternoon and don’t appear to be morning heights or heights after laying down. Derrick Rose and Kevin Love appear to be a bit lower than they measured but both may have had the benefit of laying down. Love looks 6’7” ish next to Chris Bosh. I’d go 6’7.25-.5 max and even though photoshopped he looks that with Rose and Noah. Another is OJ Mayo. I’m not sure where he fits but I know someone who’s met him and said he’s 6’3 max. He measured 6’3.25” so not sure what is accurate

@Tunman: it’s possible with Barkley’s weight but he wasn’t extremely heavy when he played. Probably 250-265 in his prime. What you said could be true like Christian said. If he were 6’4.75 afternoon his extreme could be 6’4.5 and could’ve been something he reached regularly. However my guess is 6’4 5/8 or 1/2 would be his afternoon and he dipped another 1/4” at an extreme since so many people who’ve met him or played with or against guessed him at 6’4”. I think we can agree at his peak that 6’4” flat was too low but I saw someone else who posted here years ago who said they played against him just in the gym. They claimed 6’5 and that he was 1/2” shorter. As for Ainge, yea I think maximum 6’4” flat in his prime and that Barkley was 1/2”-3/4” taller. Imho 6’4 5/8 for his peak since that was his Olympic measurement. As for Jordan I feel he’d be the same range. I think a legit 6’5 or strong 6’5 really would be Ron Harper. I could buy something like 6’5 to 6’5.5 as he always looked taller than Jordan and looked taller next to Rodman or Pippen
But if the standard here is a lunchtime measurement, I think Barkley’s previous measurement may be sufficient enough being like you said, he claimed that height and if 6’4 5/8 is actually his afternoon height, 6’4.75 would be his lunchtime. I feel 6’4 7/8 is too high and goes against anything anyone else who’s played with him has described him as. He’s typically guessed 6’4-6’5 (Mo Cheeks and Larry Bird and Michael Jordan) and 6’4 by Joe Klein and Moses Malone. He was also said to be 6’5.5 with shoes on before

@Tunman: I wonder if Wade really measured that and if it was really morning. Melo looks around his draft height in person and Bosh looks his in pics. Lebron looks near enough meaning he could be 6’7” flat. Then a guy like Hinrich could look more 6’2.5 and then TJ Ford 5’10 not 5’11”. Some are just off. In Wade’s case I almost wonder if that’s his actual measurement and it was maybe one later in the morning a bit under 6’3.25 rounded up. I saw a pic with Harden and one with Beal and Wade looked smaller. Whereas Beal and Harden were morning measurements (2010) and (2009). It explicitly said it for 09 and 10 I’m assuming they wouldn’t have changed it. I wouldn’t necessarily give Jordan and Wade that at extreme lows but normal lows. I always estimate at afternoon height but not extreme lows. Like Rob for instance is 5’8 1/8” afternoon height. That’s his normal low but not extreme low as he said it’s 5’8” flat but he loses less than average whereas for me 6’4 flat would be mine which equates to 1” from my morning height of 6’5

@Canson
Those figures (190,5 and 194,5)are very possible for their extremes imo.Wade was measured 6'3.75 in the morning and claimed 6'3.25 which is quite honest,always a chance for 1/8 less.
@Christian
Barkley was measured at 6'4 5/8.But he certainly won't dip under that.Well in the pic with 6'4 Ainge he looked 3/4"taller than him,so 6'4.75 which is a mark he claimed at least once
Is it possible that
Jordan turns 6'4.75 with extreme low 6'4.5 and Barkley 6'4.75 and extreme low 6'4 5/8?Barkley's heavily built so maybe gets more easily closer to his extreme?Ultimately both could be listed just under 6'5

Well,6'4.75 or 6'4 7/8 is very likely,it's almost a certainty that he was measured just under 6'5 but the question is by how much?
Do we have a Tim Robbins case?Looking near enough to 6'5 and claiming (or at least Riley claimed for him) 6'4.5".He could have been between those 2 marks at 6'4.75.The 6'4 7/8" was maybe an evening measurement with only a further 1/8" left to lose.6'4.5 as an absolute lowest after a long training session?Very possible but that's the lowest arguable.

And it mentioned orthotics so looking 6’5 isn’t hard then or even in a 1.25” shoe for a 6-4.5 or 6’4.6 range guy

I remember watching the episode. In the opening, Bo bowed down a lot and Jimmy just barely reached Bo’s lower mouth. That was when Bo walked in. I also remember Bo had less footwear than Kimmel. I wish I took a screenshot but darn.
I have to pay to get it but I’m won’t because reasons. Anyways, someone did show the opening and Bo really dwarfed Kimmel. (The difference is similar to how Rob Gronk looked with the host.)

@Editor Rob: he was listed at 6’5” in 1984 Olympics. Maybe it was a roundup. But 1992 I’ve never seen a concrete answer as I’ve seen 6’4 7/8 thrown around many times.

@Editor Rob: I can rule out the following at his peak: anything 6’5 or over or under 6’4.5”. He would likely have fallen into the 6’4.5-.75” by site standards. I could see 6’4 7/8” being a measurement early in the day and 6’4.75 or 6’4 5/8 as a lunchtime. 6’4.5 or 6’4 5/8 afternoon

Jordan wasn't as low as a flat 6'4" IMO. I'm pretty sure the 6'4" guesses were just rounded down. I've been guessed at just 6'5" sometimes as well, despite being 6'5" and change.

@Christian: I wonder now because he’s looked 6’4 to many people too and that was when he played. That’s why I suspect he was middle of the range and maybe looked it to some that were precise or slightly over and looked 6’5 to others but it could be lifts. I still say a best case was something like 194.5 or 194.6 and worst case 194.3 perhaps

You always see most basketball players in their shoe heights 1.25 taller than their barefoot height so i always found 6'4.75 for Jordan quite reasonable. Add 1.25 more and you get bang on 6'6 flat as he was listed throughout his career.
Then you get some like Jimmy Butler that got 1.75” from his alleged measurement. I’d have given Jordan something like 6’5.75” in shoes

Editor Rob6ft 4.75, 5 are figures that are quite arguable.
6ft 4 7/8th is also a figure that's been brought up on here...the issue with that is it came from a forum and was repeated without knowing for sure who reported it originally.

He measured 6’4 1/2 and 6’4 7/8 (that may be a morning height) in his prime so I doubt he was ever 6’5 flat. Even if he grew it would’ve been something like 6’4 2/3 max afternoon height in his prime. Looked over 4” shorter than Larry Bird and close to 3” shorter than Magic

@Canson would you agree MJ has a larger frame than Kobe? We know he had larger hands and I believe a larger wingspan too. His frame seemed fuller than Kobe's as well, when you compared them to their younger years before they got into weight training.
From the height of their head it's very close but I'd give the slight edge to MJ there as well.
I agree Duhon. MJ definitely had the larger frame especially in his later days when he played for the Wizards and even when he played in Chicago. Phil mentioned that once I remember that Jordan had a bigger body. But I have Kobe as slightly taller. It’s not much though. Maybe a small fraction. Especially seeing the video to that picture. But I will say that Kobe could’ve been 195-195.5 possibly and Jordan 194/195 range. So could be something like 6’4 5/8 vs 6’4 7/8 or 6’4.5 vs 6’4.75

He really needs to be downgraded 1/8” minimum being that (6’4 7/8) is the measurement of record although 6’4.5 is also believable. Rob was not listing celebs at 1/8” increments when he first listed Jordan back some 10 or 15 years ago

@Canson, I posted a comment in March and I just noticed your reply.
I give Jordan so little mainly due to his college measurements. When he still had hair in his younger days he looked to be a strong 6' 4.5", not small by any means, but also not very big on a basketball court.
I think you are about dead-on in your guesses for Rodman and Pippen. I would give a prime Pippen a little more than you, I think he may have brushed the 6' 7" mark but 6' 6 7/8" is also a real possibility. Rodman also wouldn't be caught dead without tall heeled shoes, so he's a bit of a wildcard.
I remember after the first or second Night of the Documentary, UNC head coach Roy Williams who was an assistant there at the time Jordan was there said he was 6’4.5 his freshman year and 6’6” now. Now I take that to be that Jordan either grew and was 6’5.5-6’6 range in his shoes yielding 6’4.5-.75 barefoot or even the 6’4 7/8 he got; or that Williams is exaggerating. I can tell he’s definitely not 6’6” especially when Reggie Miller has claimed to be under 6’6” before himself and he has said that Jordan is 6’4/6’5 range. In pics Jordan is at least an inch shorter than him

@Viper: the documentary is the best. I’m sad that this is the final episode this Sunday. MJ’s suits look amazing. I actually disagree as far as his height in a baseball uniform. I get a taller impression (physically) from Darryl Strawberry than I do MJ. Strawberry was a true 6’5” guy maybe even a hair over the mark. I would still put Jordan at 6’4.5 or so. He looked similar to how Matt Ryan looks in appearance in my opinion

Here they list Jordan at 6’5” and this is his Junior year when he was likely done growing. If he were really 6’5” plus barefoot, he would be listed 6’6” more than likely. I’m willing to be money that he was 6’4.5” barefoot or maybe 1/8” taller and when he came to North Carolina was under 6’4” barefoot. He likely grew

Jordans size 13 feet are around average for his height.
But they are small in relation to his gigantic hands.
Tells you even hand and feet size do not correlate

That pic Duhon posted showing the difference between Jordan and a 6'1.5" Obama shows a solid 4-5 inch height difference. I'd say 6'6" peak height, and likely still that tall, or no more than 1/4 less.

In this pic if Obama is the full 6’1”, Jordan looks 194-195 range. He also looks it when Obama is putting the medal on him. It’s odd that I was listening to iHeart Radio today in the office and heard Colin Cowherd interview Roy Williams and he said Jordan was 6’4.5 freshman year and 6’6 sophomore year. I don’t know if Jordan really grew and they measured him in shoes when he first got there or if he just said it for effect

I would give Jordan 6' 4 1/2" for sure. He is lanky and long so he looks really tall. I'm regular 6' 3" flat, but lean and I look taller than I am. Jordan has giant hands and a huge head, his feet are small for his height. I was a huge 90's Bulls fan and around Pippen and Rodman, Jordan fits 6' 4 1/2" with an extra 1" from his Nikes. I wonder what Pippen's take on Jordan's height is...
I agree with your estimate of 6’4.5” and prob like 6’5.25” out of bed. But I don’t think Jordan’s head was that big for his size and I’m around the same height at 6’4.25” and my foot size is similar to his. But agreed Looked around 1.5-2” shorter than Rodman and 2 shorter than Pippen. I guessed Pippen around 6’6.5-6’7 (i try to see 6’7 but it’s hard). and Rodman 6’6-6’6.5. Pippen just didn’t look the full thing with a 6’9-6’10 Toni Kukoc or a maximum 6’9” Horace Grant. What were your guesses for those two in person?

@Editot Rob: He really should be lowered at least 1/4” to 6’4.75 if Kobe is at that. Since he had 6’4 7/8 maybe that’s ok for him but If you see him with Ron Harper or Larry Bird or other 194-195 guys he’s the same size. Maybe 6’4 7/8 is the college measurement since they do measure early morning like I received in the past when I played in college. But he’s Not a full 6’5” guy in the afternoon. I believe the 6’4.5 that he measured as a rookie is his afternoon height or maybe 194.5 at most but 195 is almost accurate if going by lunchtime. He’s likely within 1/2 cm of it after 5 hours of being awake (194.6 around lunch perhaps and 194.3 afternoon or 194.8 and 194.5 afternoon). Seeing him with Damon Wayans he also looked 194-195 range same with 6’9” Larry bird

Just saying MJ worst lowest could be 6'4 5/8 and i have see him look a solid 4cm taller than D Wade. Wade i can could agree with Canson now he is 6'3 a low which link back to 6'6 Carmelo often look 3" on Wade. Or could say MJ never lost anything yet as he was always 194.5cm a low and Kobe Bryant 195cm a low just like i wonder there is always a fraction between them and i would specifically throw Barkley into 194.75cm worst low just in between MJ and Kobe. Making some sense as Pat Riley mention MJ measure 6'4 1/2 that could be donkey years ago during his drafted year and grow a bit or a fraction over, 1980s drafted players might be measure in the afternoon we wouldn't know that for sure like on the sights of Pat Riley sees MJ as 6'4 1/2 a low but MJ could be close to 6'4 5/8 since he was always bald. Worst MJ could be 6'4 1/2 now but not under it.

Being 6'4.5" and calling myself 6'5" because people wouldn't accept me saying 6'4" to round it off, I can say though I've not met Jordan, in pictures I see of him standing next to various people he looks to be around 6'5.5". In good shape with normal posture so he hasn't lost any now. The 6'6" was a simple rounding up in my opinion.

@Tunman: I understand what you’re saying. But when Kobe came into the league Jordan at 33 would’ve still likely been at his peak. I don’t argue the 6’4.75 listing for Kobe being his low and Jordan may have been 6’4 5/8”, but Pat Riley saying He’s 6’4.5” shouldn’t be seen as bitterness. People need to stop thinking just because someone says a person isn’t as tall as they claim or they say that person is shorter than they are, that they’re hating on them. Riley was answering the reporter’s inquiries as to why he wasn’t drafted over Olajuwon and Bowie. And Riley saying someone’s actual height is just him doing that. Riley was known as being very honest during his career. He wasn’t going to lie, either. He wasn’t slighting Jordan and people shouldn’t see it that way being it’s just his height not his character. People assume when someone claims someone’s actual height that they try to make someone shorter when they’re not. And furthermore, I honestly don’t think Riley had a problem with Jordan per se. remember, Pat Riley retired Jordan’s jersey with the Heat which is the grandest of gestures bring Jordan never once played for the franchise. He’s the only person other than the Bulls to do so and Jordan is the only player who never once played for a franchise to have his uniform retired by them. Riley did not hate Jordan all that much as he didnt have to do that. And that was early on. If he really had reason to hate MJ it would’ve been in the 90s when Riley coached the Knicks and Heat. But Riley calling him 6’4.5” was just answering (in an honest manner) why he wasn’t drafted first and he was likely either giving an exact or maybe just approximate measurement. Riley has met him so he could give an assessment as to how tall he was. Next to Larry Bird I tend to believe 6’4.5” and having played ball myself through college that’s common for a guy to be listed 6’6” and be as low as 6’4 or 6’4.25 as the same happened to me. But Jordan being listed 6’4.75 would look much better than 6’5” imho because that could’ve very well been at 5 hours for him and maybe dip to 6’4 5/8 perhaps. 6’4.5 tho or .75 would work imho

6'4.75 for Kobe is fair and so is it for Jordan.I still think a peak Jordan and Kobe could have been reasonably the same.6'4 5/8?Not impossible you can argue that but I'm still convinced he was measured at evening and had only little height to lose so 6'4.75 still makes sense.I would take Riley's words carefully though as he seemed quite bitter towards Jordan,so maybe tried to undermine his height to 6'4.5(although maybe he was a little over?)195 is the best compromise if you ask me.

I think 6’4.75 is a fair listing for him as it’s clear he’s not taller than Kobe. If anything I think Kobe would actually edge him as he really does look the 6’4.75 afternoon height
