Michael Jordan's Height
6ft 5 (195.6 cm)
American Basketball Legend. At age 18 he was being described as 6ft 4, and in the NBA regularly called 6ft 6, a height he himself claimed in 1994 "I'm 6-foot-6". Pat Riley was once quoted saying "Did you know that when Jordan was measured he was only 6-4 and a half, not 6-6 the way he's listed".

@Junior: Jordan was not 19 when he was drafted. He was 21. He played 3 years in college and was drafted in 84. He was born in 63. Better chance he didn’t grow after as he was an adult

@Junior: Jordan is without a doubt over 6’5” peak when he woke up. I would say 6’5-6’5.5 range out of bed. Probably 6’5.25

@Junior: I’m not seeing how it’s a myth. 6’4.5 at a low is very possible. And Kobe is not 6’5 flat he’s 6’4.75. Jordan only had Brady by little. 1/2”-3/4”. I don’t rule out a peak 6’4 5/8 for Jordan but 6’4.75 seems too high

@Tunman: imho a good listing on the site may be 6’4.75 or 6’4 5/8. Lunchtime height (5 hours out) he may be either of those. Afternoon height would be 1/8” less at 6’4.5 or 6’4 5/8 though. The key factor is that looking close to 6’5” is not hard when you’re wearing 1.25” sneaks and thick shoes all the time. The other is that he did look over 4” shorter than Larry bird and close to 2” less than rodman

Still I think 6'4.75 could fit him better than 6'4.5.He honestly looks too close to 6'5 to be much under it.Pat Riley was certainly not a Jordan fan,but if anything his words suggest that Jordan was indeed measured under 6'5 the question is how much.I mean in that interview he seemed so disgusted so may have tried to undermine him in terms of height by saying 6'4.5(but it could have been anywhere from 6'4.5 to 6'4 7/8).So 6'4.75 could be a good compromise

Canson, Jordan was drafted at 19. He had a little potential to grow a little taller. 6'5 is at least a morning height. To be fair for Tom Brady and Michael Strahan being 6'4 a low. MJ stay 6'4.75" and Kobe 6'5 the 6'4 1/2 stuff is myth for both of them unless we met them in real.

@Junior: only thing is that Barkley measured 6’4 5/8 in 92 and Kobe 6’4.75. Barkley is also guessed 6’4-6’5 or just 6’4 in person when people meet him. As for Jordan he also was supposed to have measured 6’4.5. But for all of these guys the ones we have specific measurements for Kobe and Barkley specifically, it’s not as right to doubt those as being too low versus Wade or someone else being too high. When someone is drafted there is money and their career on the line. Those are the measurements that I would question. I mean look at Shawne Merriman. We have all but debunked that myth. He’s not 6’4 3/8 or even close. There are others too such as kyler Murray. He is not 5’10”. But I would less likely doubt an Olympic measurement when someone has been in the league for 9 years and they already not only know how he performs but they have an idea of how tall the guy is already. They’re essentially being measured for Sh1ts and giggles versus for their standing in the draft and essentially their careers. That is where the frauding would expect to play in (if at all). But it’s also that those guys were measured at lows. Whereas the others were not

Although Canson point out 6'4 3/8-6'4 1/2 for MJ but that is respectively his estimate. I would still go 6'4.75" a low for Jordan and Barkley and 6'5 a possible chance for Kobe Bryant. Kobe's real height has become some myth to go when the few version came out 6'5(late 90s claimed),6'4,6'4 1/2 and 6'6 by his own words and his wife claim to measured him 6'4.75" and 6'6 with shoes on.

@Never: his height wouldn’t matter because he was a guard. He was a big 2 guard in his era as most of them were 6’3-6’4 barefoot whereas he was 6’4-6’5 barefoot. I would say someone like Charles Barkley 6’4.5 or Draymond Green 6’5” or Larry Johnson or Clarence Weatherspoon 6’5 and and a bit were truly undersized

@Mickie: I have him strong 6’5 out of bed. 6’5.25 maybe 6’5 3/8 and 6’4,5 or 5/8 at a low. He’s probably not over 6’4.5 really. I think Brady is 6’4” flat or at absolute worst if he dips below the mark it’s 6’3 7/8 but not lower on a normal basis

Brady measured 6'4 3/8", that was probably a fairly early measurement but I think it suggests that anything below 6'3 7/8" - 6'4" at a low is pretty unlikely (unless it was conducted closer to waking up than I suspect). It could even mean more 6'4" - 6'4.25" - it's difficult to say. I have Jordan more like 6'4.5", probably a strong 6'5" in the morning.

@Junior: I didn’t mean that Jordan was that low. What I meant was Jordan’s 6’4.5 measurement would be the same as me measuring 6’4.25 meaning based on time of the day. I would have Jordan at his peak as taller than me. Even if my peak were 193.9-194 I still have Jordan 194.3-194.7 range. I doubt Brady is a weak 6’4. He’s a solid 6’4” Jordan weak 6’5 not dipping less than 6’4.5 probably still or maybe 1 mm worst case today at 56

If you bring down MJ at 6'4.25" then Tom Brady needed to drop 2cm down into 6'3.5" zone no arguement for higher. MJ had him by 2cm. The worst i can only think of 6'4 1/2 for MJ and Brady stay weak 6'4.

Drafted at 6'4.5" which can mean MJ had grow taller up to a 6'5 morning measurement and stable at 6'4.75". Sometime i don't think Kobe is taller nor shorter than MJ. Include Barkley they are all big looking 195cm guy might all fall into 6'4.75" a low.

He should at least get 6’4.75 since he’s not taller than Kobe although he did measure 6’4.5 when he was drafted

I agree with Duhon on the difference between them but for afternoon heights I’d knock off 1/2 for my estimates to solid 6’5 and 6’4.5 maybe give or take 1/8” on both. Carter to me genuinely looks a textbook 6’5” more so than Kobe or Jordan tho

Absolute most I could buy at his peak is 6’4 5/8 at a low which would make him 6’5 7/8 in b-ball sneaks and near enough 6’6” to look it. 6’4.5 would still make him 6’5.75 or so and that won’t look much different or anywhere in between the two figures.

@Jdubbz: if he’s met him. But every person who I personally know whether it be in his prime or today says he’s 6’4/6’5” range. I’ve seen a couple people here say he looked 6’5 or a little under but if he’s in his basketball sneaks he will look closer to 6’5 since they give 1.25” he’d be 6’5.75 in them. I’ve seen people on the internet say the same that he’s 6’4 range or 6’5 at most. Likely that he’s 6’5 in the morning and 6’4.5 range at a low 3/8-5/8 perhaps

@Jdubbz: a lot of people who meet him today still describe him as how he supposedly appeared in his prime. 6’4 and change or “almost 6’5”. Then again I have seen some say 6’4” and some 6’5”. I could possibly say he was something like 194.5 like Barkley peak but today still looks 194-194.5 It’s also possible that his height loss has been very minimal

I doubt he’s as low as 6’3.75 or 6’4”. To be quite honest, Jordan appears to have retained his height since his playing days. It’s more than likely that he was never the full 6’5” at his low peak. He may have been something like 6’4.5-.75 range however. He’s likely not over 6’4.5 at a low today but 6’5 range in the morning

In his playing days I'd give him 6'5" flat. However, for the past ten years or so he seems to be more in the 6'3.75" to 6'4 1/8" range to me.

Some think Jordan is only 6'4 some say 6'4 1/4 some 6'4 1/2 most say he is 6'4 3/4 and fans say 6'5-6'6. I go with logic if Jordan had a measurement at 6'4.88 (195.3) then he qualify for 6'4 3/4 whether he is fraction under or he is a full 195cm we don't know it. I trust 6'4 1/2 previously but he can look alot like 6'4 3/4 just don't see Jordan lost height yet and he look solid 10cm on 185cm Obama so no point argue 6'4 1/2 while he pass for 195cm.

@Christian: I’m surprised too. Even for Barkley, I’m not seeing where he measured that. But I do see where he “officially measured 6’4 5/8” at the Olympics. The sportswriter mentioning 6’4 7/8 “as official” here when he’s also measured 6’4 5/8 at 29 years old in the Olympics makes it more believable which is a crock. But I’ll flip the argument. People always make an excuse about the sportwriter that mentioned Jordan measuring 6’4 1/2 but it’s “too low for Michael Jordan to be” so it’s not accurate because it wasn’t a “credible source”. But because the Sportswriter used a measurement that made Barkley taller, it is more “accepted” and because Jordan edges out 6’4” and 6’3 guys listed 6’5”

Jordan should at least get a 6'4 7/8" listing, since he was measured that at one point. Rob gave 6'4 7/8" for Barkley so I don't see why he still won't give Jordan the same thing.

Jordan is overlisted if we are going by site standards. Best case if we just go with 5 hours may be 6’4.75 but really he looks 6’4.5 at a low so 6’4 5/8” after 5. Either of those three work better than the solid 6’5”.

@Junior: the highest I buy at his peak is 6’4 5/8ish. Maybe somewhere between 6’4 1/2-2/3. People also must realize that he tends to wear a lot of footwear that makes him appear taller. That’s also not known if he wears an orthotic. It wouldn’t surprise me if I’m in a 1” shoe and he’s in something that gives 1.25 and he edged me out that I wouldn’t assume he’s 6’4.75 perhaps if I’m 6’5.25 in a 1” shoe I would see him at 6’5.75 maybe a tad over if he had an orthotic too. I would automatically assume without looking that he’s around 6’5”. I’m not saying he does wear one definitively but if he does that would put him almost right at 6’6” in sneaks from 6’4.5

We don't know if Jordan was really 6'4 1/2 today. If he was measure 195.3cm then he might just lost a fraction under it if is not an early morning measurement so probably MJ still close to 6'4 3/4 and if he really have lost a fraction now then he would be 6'4 1/2 like Canson mention same to Charles Barkley.

@Canson - you could be right about Mullin and Drexler, although they do look above Jordan in height in the dream team photo. How much exactly could be debated. They could just be 6'5" guys.

@Mickie: I would have Magic 6’7-6’7.25. I agree about MJ and always have had him at that height 6’4.5. That’s likely his low however and he would measure a hair over 6’5 out of bed. Drexler I actually have at 6’5 flat and Mullin could be 6’5 or under. He and Barkley looked similar. Unless Barkley had more footwear. If they’re actually the same, Mullin is 6’4.5 too. He looks that with Sprewell who admitted to being 6’4”. Mullin was listed 6’6 when he came in the league. He used to be a guard. He was boosted to 6’7” when he began playing forward

Check out the '92 dream team photos. If we accept Bird is a legit 6'9", he's is standing in between MJ who would appear 6'4.5" and Magic Johnson who would appear to be perhaps 6'7.25" - 6'7.5". Chris Mullen and Clyde Drexler are on Magic's other side, they appear close in height to each other. Maybe Drexler at around 6'5.5" if he equals everyone else's posture and Mullen perhaps 6'5" - 6'5.25" without his hair. Anyway, both of those guys look taller than MJ.

Go to 6:48. Barkley describes Jordan as having the perfect body and as being taller than himself. He also describes him as 6'6. Now, I'm not saying either proposition is true--he's clearly not 6'6--but Barkley at least at one time believed Jordan was taller than him.

He might be slightly shy of a full 6'5. Barkley seems to think that Jordan was taller than him, but he also thought that Jordan was 220-230lbs, so he seems terrible at gauging physical stature. I'll bet a lot of money that Jordan is within ½cm of 195cm. He's somewhere in the 194½-195½cm range, but it's extremely difficult to tell, where he would fall.

@Christian: 2Chainz may even just be 6’4 but I could buy his current listing here. I see some where he edges Jordan some where Jordan edges him. It’s not much tho. Maybe a cm or half inch maximum. But I think 6’4.25 is ok for him but Rob should’ve just left Jordan at 6’4.75 as he was previously listed. I personally think he’s 6’4.5 and always has been but 6’4.75 is closer to it

@Junior: the only time that 2Chainz is favored is when he looks taller than Jordan. Even in the video I posted, Jordan is favored at times and is slightly taller. For most of the video, they can be the same height as the difference between them is the same when Jordan is favored or when 2Chainz. That leads me to believe that they are roughly the same height. Maybe Jordan has 1/4” but it’s also possible that 2Chainz is only 6’4” flat. Jordan looks 6’4.5 with Magic, Barkley, Larry Bird as well as Ron Harper and other ballers I’ve seen him with

@Junior: maybe 3/8” but we need to determine footwear. My guess is that there may not be a noticeable difference. Jordan at 6’4.5 and 2 Chainz 6’4.25 is possible. Or the latter may be closer to 6’4”. I believe MJ would be 6’4.5 at a low and 6’5.25 out of bed

@Canson bad angle in that video. 2 Chainz is closer to camera angle and Duhon post make Jordan closer to camera take a little advantage look like he was easily over 6'5 when leaning. Overall i believe 2 Chainz is 1/2 inch shorter than Jordan if there is a better straight line standing picture to compare their height.

Pat Riley said that Jordan was measure at 6'4 1/2 that would put Peyton Manning down at 6'4 3/4 and Joe Manganiello not over 6'4 1/4 or less. Which accumulated out all NBA/NFL and all sportsman measured their height in the morning between 6.30-10am which they're 1/4 to 5/8 shorter than what they all be measured depends on the sleep and the time they get a proper measurement. Added a random example like a unmeasured actor who claim 6'4 and a touch like Jeff Goldblum would be only 6'4 at his low not the 6'4 1/2 peak guessing all over the place.

Why i always feel that is many 6'5 listed actors look shorter than Jordan. 6'4.88 (195.3) get round up 6'5 but could it be more like 6'4 5/8 (194.6) my guess for MJ. Those 6'5 claim actor most are 6'4 1/2 only a few look to be close to what they claim. One example 6'4 1/4 Armie Hammer look no way 6'5 but still claiming it ever since his Social Network movie appearance. Some are still not nailed by Rob for a downgrade. MJ deserved same listing as Barkley.

@Gracian: he looks 6’4.5 with larry Bird which is what he was when drafted.
Editor RobI would need to find a good reference for the measurement.

I can not understand people who want to argue the zone 6'4.75-5" for him... For me Jordan looks closer to 196 cm than 195 and think that zone 6'5-5.25" is more likely for him. Here's Jordan's full performance next to Obama: Click Here
Obama can look very often 186 cm, but even if he has only 6'1" Jordan does not look under 6'5" next to him. In addition, here are more of his photos next to Ne-Yo: Click Here

Editor RobI think Jordan is somewhere close to 6ft 5. I cannot confirm whether he really was measured under it. He might have been, but for the moment 6ft 5 I still think is ok.

@Shane: I actually believe he’s slightly over 6’5” out of bed. Going by afternoon heights, he would be a weak 6’5 (6’4.5ish). But if we went by morning heights he’s a legit 6’5”

@Canson: I think clarification would help. You accurately stated celebheights uses afternoon barefoot heights as the standard. But then you also said Jordan isnt a legit 6'5". That is true IF ONLY going by this site. But he likely is 6'5" out of bed so in the bigger picture that makes him a legit 6'5" barefoot.

MrTBlack said it well in a previous post here. Jordan measured 6’4 7/8 in college which is likely a morning height but that still makes him around a weak 6’5 (6’4.5ish maybe 5/8 peak) perhaps somewhere in between since Celebheights is based on an afternoon height. Fact is he is not a legit 6’5” like he’s listed

I tend to considering the measured heights when available. Jordan has been quoted as having measured 6'4.5", and when you really look at him next to other tall guys, it starts to look about right. Larry Bird at 6'9" looked 4.5" taller than MJ.

@Brad: didn’t you just say that he was a weak 6’5” on Stallone’s page as you admitted that you weren’t 6’6”? You admitted you were more like 6’5.5 in the afternoon and said several times that Jordan was an inch shorter than you? You even said before that You wore Chuck Taylor’s and pretty much said that Jordan had a footwear advantage on you? That puts Jordan at 6’4.5 like he was when he was drafted

Does he look 6'4-5?Hmmm,maybe more chance for being nearer to 6'5.The thing is that we unfortunately don't have a recording of the 6'4.5"Riley spoke about.knowing that the guy wasn't exactly a great fan of MJ there is always a chance he rounded to 6'4.5" a measurement like 6'4.75"or so.Not impossible.If anything Riley's words suggest a sub 6'5 measurement but again the question is by how much?6'4 7/8"has appeared too often not to have been a measurement but that's only my opinion.

@Junior: he def isn’t as low as 6’4”. But 6’4.5 at a low looks accurate as that’s the most common 6’4/6’5 or 6’4 and change. That also explains how he looks “a little under” 6’5 as that’s how that would look

Yeah, if Barkley has four different measurements (6'4 5/8", 6'4.75", 6'4 7/8" and 6'5"), then it only makes sense to go with the lowest one since no one's gonna be any taller at their low than what they measured.

I think going off afternoon heights, Pat riley’s Claim for Jordan is believeable which is why he looks “a little under” “almost” or a “weak” 6’5” to most. He would measure 6’4 7/8 or 6’5 if he got measured an hour out of bed like most guys are today. But Celebheights is based on afternoon heights (at least it’s supposed to be). Some guys are listed morning but that’s because Rob doesn’t have anything else to go off of other than another athlete in the same sport who also measured morning. Rob also won’t rarely underlists he would overlist if anything

@Christian: Barkley’s 6’4 7/8 measurement is even no more official than his 6’4 5/8” in my opinion. People only take it more seriously because Barkley looks taller next to other over listed celebs and players and because the quote contains the words “official”. Barkley has always been one of the most inflated celebs here in this site. I agree that if Barkley has this then Jordan should get the 6’4 7/8, 6’4.75 (although no direct reference to but he was listed this before), or 6’4.5 since that’s what he actually measured when he was drafted. The thing is Jordan at 6’4.5 is probably his normal low which is why people think he’s “closer to 6’5” since he would measure maybe 6’5.25 out of bed (in my opinion) and be a weak 6’5 for virtually the whole day. People who think him being “almost 6’5” etc don’t realize that 195 and 6’5 won’t look any different (Kobe is a prime example of this) whereas 6’4.5 at a normal low will look “a little under 6’5” not to mention he wears a thicker sneaker often enough

But Barkley's 6'4 7/8" measurement is no more "official" than Jordan's. You even listed Kobe as 6'4.75" which wasn't even an official NBA measurement but a measurement by his wife. It doesn't make sense for Jordan to not get a 6'4 7/8" listing now.

@Canson Thinking of someone like Alexander Skarsgard and Joe Manganiello i don't think they were same height as Jordan. The two guy is in the 6'4 3/8-5/8 zone mid day. Jordan look solid 10cm taller than 185cm Obama. 6'4 3/4 is possible when he stand straight.

@Junior: 194.3 and 194.5 aren’t much of a difference. Same case with if he were guessed 194.5 and 195. Only thing I say is that he’s guessed 6’4 or 6’4 and change more often than 6’5” which is why I don’t believe he’s as high as 195cm and doesn’t look that tall in a handful of pics. Looks 194ish a lot esp with Bird
Kobe on the other hand looks 6’5 more often than not which makes me believe he’s probably around 6’4.75 at a low. A guy at 6’4.75 isn’t going to look different than 6’5. And when someone says weak or a little under it typically means the person is around 6’4.5 or 1/2-5/8 at a low as opposed to 3/4” since nobody could tell 6’4.75 and 6’5 apart. Have to remember Jordan wears his thick sneakers more often than not and even in a thick dress shoe he gets 3cm which puts him around 6’5.75 or so and a 6’6” in shoes can’t tel a difference from 6’5.75 and a full 6’6”. They look the same. It wouldn’t surprise me if Kobe also wears thick sneaks often which is why he can look 6’5” or over as well. If we were to redo the measurements in the AM they would probably be 6’5 and 6’5.25 respectively an hour out of bed as I see MJ 6’5.25 and Kobe 6’5.5 out of bed

Kobe: 195 approximately

I would give Ron Harper something like 196-196.5 as he looks closer in height with MWP than those two.
I base mine off lows for the day so I would say MWP is probably 6’5 and change. 196-196.5 at a low and would likely be 6’5.5 or near it for a while during the day

@Christian: the two variables with Carter are that he doesn’t have a shoe measurement and two that he might have measured something like 6’5 1/8 early AM. Not to mention, he played the 3 a lot in Toronto. They listed him 6’7” back then but when he moved to the 2, he was put at 6’6”. I can’t remember if they had 1/4” back then and know they don’t do 1/8” even to this day. But also because of how he looks with MJ. He looks taller than both imho. Now to Caesar’s credit Richard Jefferson did say Vince was 6’4 1/2, 6’5 on a good day. I could buy 195 however or at best 6’5” flat. Not 6’5.5 as he’s not as tall as Dr J either in their pics and Dr J was way past his peak in 2000 when Vince won the dunk contest

the only listings that have merit are 6’4.5 and 6’4 7/8. Most simply believe that he’s 6’6” because he’s listed that way.

Jordan, Kobe, and Vince Carter are all 194 guys. You can google their picture and see that there's practically nothing between them. Dominique Wilkins is in the photo as well I believe and looks 6'6-6'7 next to them.

@Junior: if he measured 194.7, that would likely be closer to an extreme low imho. I used to think Kobe was 6’4.5 as he claimed it once before as well but he often looks closer to 6’5”.

@Height: that was actually me that said that not Christian. I don’t think anything is unreasonable per se but I find it hard to believe that he would measure that at a normal low, which is the way Rob classifies celebs here. He’s been guessed by some who meet him who are close in height as 6’4 and 6’5 both. And He measured 6’4.5 before as an adult coming into the NBA. At the end of the day that’s a 0.7cm difference which none of us can see that easily

@Height
If he grew since his 6'4.5" measurement at the draft, then I don't completely rule out 195 for Jordan, but I know for a fact he's not over 195.3 since he was measured that (6'4.88") once later in his career.

@Christian, then again in the picture you use Kobe has a slight camera advantage. 195cm isn't hard to believe, it's a possibility.

@Junior: 195 is hard to believe for MJ. At least for me. A lot of people have met him that are taller and have put him closer to 6’4”. A 6’4.75 guy especially in a sneaker is gonna be 6’6”. They would look 6’5”. I also see how Jordan has stacked up with other players and how he was measured 6’4.5 when he was drafted

@Christian: unfortunately nothing reputable. I’ve seen it on one of the sites like you posted for the 6’4 7/8 measurement. It’s probably something heard 3rd person and said he’s 6’4.75 but then again maybe someone had some knowledge of it from a historical site that doesn’t exist anymore and posted it there.

@Canson One thing we have to suspect was that Vanessa Bryant using what kind of height instrument to get Kobe 6'4 3/4? Because if is some sort of ruler on the wall or height chart wallpaper that paste on wall it may have given a cm more or less and if is a stadiometer we could say Kobe is only 194.7cm because the device give about 1/8 more and if is a measuring tapes then would be most accurate of all. I have the experience measure 1/2 inch shorter from a wallpaper height chart with my wife both at a sports club and that makes us curious of questioning it and when we headed home in the evening my wife took out a measurement tapes and it show a 1/2 gain back compare we measure at the sports club height chart. My point also is Jordan could be taller than you think a min 6'4 5/8 than just 6'4 3/8 that low.

@Junior: it’s funny because I see a lot of pics where Kobe doesn’t look under 6’5” too but that means he likely isn’t under 6’4.75 at a low. Then with MJ he looks “almost 6’5” to many because he probably gets down to 6’4.5 or maybe 194 but no less

@Christian-6'5 3/8" I see 1cm even 1/2 inch too and this picture i look at it many times and notice Kobe had a little camera advantage. There is some zoom in version of this picture or other similar ones that was a fraction between them at most and we could easily tell because they were both bald it's easy to look at it.

Christian, what you said makes sense though because I’ve seen Kobe 6’5.25 by FIBA. So Kobe could be 6’4.75 or maybe 195cm or a hair over and Jordan 6’4.5 or a hair under at a low

@Christian: true. my guess for MJ is maybe he’s 194 barefoot (6’4 3/8) or 194.1 whereas Kobe maybe is a full 195. That makes sense for MJ if he measured 6’4 7/8 since some only lose 1/4” height if they’ve been awake for an hour vs a full cm. That could’ve been the case with him as well. Kobe’s looks like his low

1cm difference is actually noticeable if you analyze close enough. 1/4" is where it starts to look virtually the same. The pic I posted is about a 1cm difference and you can tell that Kobe has the edge. Click Here

@Dream: they say Kobe was 6’5.25 when he was measured by FIBA. Not sure if that was with his fro or in the AM. The latter is likely. There’s a chance he may get to the 6’4.75 at a low but could be a mm or so over as well

@Junior I definitely agree that 6’4 7/8” is a great listing for Kobe Bryant.
@Canson actually, my final answer is that Kobe Bryant would be taller than Michael Jordan based on the draft measurements. Like you said, it’s very hard to tell a difference. Like Rob said, 1 cm can really vanish in a photo. It’s like trying to look at the size of tiny pencil leads.

@Junior: the logic is definitely there but only problem is that they don’t do 1/8” increments. But I could see him measure that in the AM and be 6’4.5 at a norm. Agreed on Kobe though. He was 6’5.25 at FIBA I believe

@Canson Jordan was probably drafted at 6'4.88" (195.2) it was def a morning 6-7am measurement came down a low 6'4 1/2 and Kobe 6'4.75" was never being verified measured during drafted. I bet Kobe will measure 6'5 1/4 between 6-7am just half an hour out of bed. I still think possible Kobe was 6'4 3/4 or 6'4 7/8 at his low of the day.

@Christian: The thing with MJ is that he measured 6’4 7/8 at one stage but it wasn’t the draft because they don’t do 1/8” increments. That was said to be at UNC then some say the 92 olympics. The latter is possible but it’s likely that it was a measurement early in the day or after he had been laying down, meaning after a nap. I believe 6’4 1/2 for him like Pat Riley said. And believe 6’4.75 for Kobe as he appears it with Richard Sherman. Kobe also stacks up a bit more against Horace Grant than Jordan imho and same with Ron Harper

@Dream: you make good points. It’s often really hard to say who is taller with two guys who are likely very similar in height like these two. I would say a cm, at most, separates them. I would go with Kobe being taller compared to how they stack up next to Horace Grant or Ron Harper. But it’s also possible that if you took a picture of them today that the edge may be more pronounced assuming Kobe may not have lost any significant height. Not saying Jordan has either because he still looks the same but I’d believe Jordan having dipped to maybe a flat 194 today before Kobe losing height. My guess for peak for MJ would be somewhere in the 194.2-194.5 range imho of course at a low. And he’s still likely 6’5 out of bed

@Christian: agreed! I’m still curious as to when that actually occurred. Meaning was it at the olympics or at UNC. I have heard both actually. I do believe he measured it as he is, in essence, a weak 6’5” even if he’s measuring 6’4.5 at a low. It’s odd to me because of Barkley’s Olympic measurement of 6’4 5/8. I would have them either identical or Jordan a touch lower. My guess is that if this did occur at the Olympics that Jordan got measured closer to when he woke up than Barkley. I could see that measurement being a normal low or close to a low for Barkley (no lower than maybe 6’4.5 at a low for him) but for Jordan it seems high imho. The highest I could buy for Jordan at his peak is maybe the same as Barkley 6’4 5/8 or maybe 194.5 since those wouldn’t look different than 6’4.5 either

@Micky: well said! I think he would measure over 6’5” slightly like 196cm maybe 6’5.25 when he wakes up and around 194-194.5 cm at a low. Maybe he could be a mm or two over 6’4.5 or under but he looks 6’4 1/2. And you’re right people don’t realize how tall that is at a low especially. A guy who measures that at a low will often look 6’5 since I’m sure a lot of guys that are honest 6’5 claimers May measure 6’4.75 or so. It’s also worth noting that he has long limbs and if he’s in his signature footwear he would measure close to 6’6, say 6’5.75. 6’5.75 in shoes will get him 6’5 all day especially since he’s in higher footwear than the avg person would be. People don’t realize that many of these basketball heights are not people measuring at a low. They’re earlier in the day. Nor do they realize that 1/4” increments didn’t even come until late 90s

I agree. Cam was actually measured at 6'5", while Jordan was measured 6'4.88" or 7/8" once. Click Here So if anything, the listings should be switched.

@Micky: yea that was one of his measurements along with 6’4.5. I think that would be a start as he’s never measured a full 6’5”. He would clear the mark out of bed and be around 6’4.5 at a low however

@Junior: that’s probably fair since they would measure it at some point in the day but if I had to guess the only one who would measure it properly (at a low) is Kobe. MJ and Barkley most likely dip to 194-194.5cm

Kobe, Barkley and Jordan leaving them barefoot in a room with a 10 audience they might all see them looking the same height without a differences. They're all 6'4 3/4 and 6'6 with leather shoes on.

@Viper: I see several people years back (10 or so) that have met Jordan on this page and say 6’4.5 or 6’4 and change or 6’4. That’s exactly how he looked to the people I’ve known that have met him. One of them is your height a mm or two under 6’3 at a low and He specifically had both about 1.5” taller than him. Another one that met him is a scout and he’s a straight 6’2 and said Jordan looked about 2.5” taller (2-3” is what he said). He said Barkley was about the same. He also has met Kobe and said that Kobe appeared taller than both Jordan and Barkley and that Kobe looked slightly taller than Jordan in person. He pegged Bean at 6’5”. But a 6’4.75 guy and a 6’5 guy won’t appear any different in person so it’s possible that because Kobe is closer to 6’5” than Jordan that he saw that or there was a footwear advantage. Another friend met Kobe as well and he said “at best 6’5” but looked standing next to him 6’4.5-6’5
Jordan has long legs and broad shoulders and is built like I am. I have the same being 6’4 and a tad. That’s why he looks 6’6” to so many people and a 6’4.5 range guy and 6’5 esp if the 6’5 isn’t a full 6’5 at a low or if Jordan is wearing his thick sneakers will easily pass for 6’5 if he’s 6’5.5-6’6 in sneaks. Half the time people don’t pay attention to footwear from what I’ve noticed and that applies even on this very specific site as the guy that was a bouncer who claimed he met Barkley said Barkley was 6’6”. I think he was full of crap tho and either never met him or he himself isn’t 6’4 like he claims because Barkley isn’t even 6’5”. Or Barkley was wearing some thicker shoes (lift like). Maybe that’s why he appears taller at times. Because in pics where he is right next to Dan Majerle (outside of the all star pic), he is clearly shorter than Majerle and even looks shorter than MJ at times. His own teammates like Dan Majerle Danny Ainge and Mo Cheeks and Joe Klein have all said that. Not to mention a 6’9” Danny Manning towered him.

@Animus: good points. But then saying Barkley is 6’4” I think that’s them saying he’s 6’4 Range not just 6’4 flat. I also say I’m 6’4” and don’t come all the way down to 6’4” flat. I’m some days even 6’4.33 others 6’4.25. And even before I came to the site and realized I varied like I do I thought I was 6’4.5 and still claimed 6’4” some times. Now it’s justifiied but it’s also because I don’t see the benefit in being any taller at the height im at. However even if I were 6’0.25 and 6’1 out of bed I would still likely just say a hair over 6’0”. I just don’t believe in claims.
I believe Riley because Jordan looks the height. It’s hard to tell a diff beteeen 6’4.5 and 6’5 tho. Not to mention he has super long legs for his height sorta like me. I’m guessed taller from a distance all the time

I don't claim to know tall Jordan is to within a ½ inch contrary to a lot of people here, but let me play devil's advocate and refer to some evidence suggesting he is close to 6ft5. With Terrell Owens, Magic Johnson and Lawrence Taylor, I think he can look about 6ft5. I admit Jordan also can look closer to 6'4½, but his posture seems extremely variable. Dr. J is supposed to be 6'5½ (I haven't verified his height) and Jordan does seem nearly an inch shorter than him. With Pippen I think he can generally seem 2 inches shorter.
It's hard to pinpoint his height. 6'4½ is the absolute lowest he could be and 6'5 is probably the highest he could be. I wouldn't go below Barkley's listed height on the site of 6'4¾, so either 6'4¾ or 6'5 should be Jordan's height.
By the way, we have no grounds to think Riley is correct in stating that Jordan was measured at 6'4½. Lots of people claim Barkley is 6'4 flat, which is blatantly false.

@Christian: agreed! I’ve heard him say he’s similar With Barkley before (6’4 range) but I think that was to show Barkley wasn’t really 6’6” as listed (which most players aren’t as they’re listed in shoes). That’s a lot of why people believe Barkley downplays his height because he makes it a point as do others to reference his barefoot height and possibly even round down a touch at times to 6’4”. Couple this with the fact a legit NBA power forward back then even was 6’8-6’10” usually and he was listed 6’6”. But yea other times Jordan will say he’s 6’6” which to me is a rounded shoe height. I can buy maybe 6’5.75 in a pair of his sneaks at a low and easily over 6’6” in shoes in the morning when he first wakes up. I saw once where he claimed 6’6 1/2. That’s gotta be a morning shoe height rounded up. Lol he basically gave it away tho when he said Dennis Rodman was “6’6 220” lol but maintained he’s only half inch taller than Jordan when it’s clear it’s at least 1.5-2”.

@Johnson: he was measured 6’4 7/8. It’s likley that the heels measured him earlier in the AM. Having played college ball I was measured at an early morning practice before myself like less than an hour out of bed. I don’t think the pre drafts were as early back then as they are now. Or maybe his 6’4.5 was a team workout and they did so in the afternoon. Here George gervin calls him 6’4/6’5 which is what Reggie Miller called Jordan as well as Patrick Ewing. Maybe he peaked at a 6’4 5/8 when he had some hair

@Tunman: Jordan had a thicker sneaker then Michael Jackson. That can account for the 1/4” or so. But the measurement Christian was talking about was actually said to be from UNC not the 92 Olympics. I’ve seen what he said too that it was at the Olympics and I’ve seen where it was at UNC before he graduated. I can buy MJ measuring 6’4 7/8 an hour or less out of bed but evening 6’4.5 normal walking height. I look at Jordan next to larry bird and can say the same as Michael Jackson being 5’9” next to him Bird isn’t just a solid 4” taller than Jordan that looks more. I can see Bird as a full 6’9” peak but MJ as 4.5” shorter. But to be fair a guy measuring 6’4.5 and 6’4.75 aren’t all that much different which is why it’s hard at times to tell Kobe is taller than MJ like he actually is. Phil Jackson also said Kobe was slightly taller when describing them which leads me to believe Kobe may have been a hair over 6’4.75 at one stage like 195.2 maybe or MJ could’ve been flat 194 at a low which is also possibly given I know people who met him and said he’s my height and a poster here Gonzalo’s cousin played pro ball in Europe and attended the 96 finals with Seattle and Chicago and said that all players were overlisted by a decent amount. He said that his cousin at 194cm, said that Jordan was his height.

Yeah,that's why I said he looks not is 6'5.6'4 7/8 and 6'5 is virtually the same thing,I mean it's impossible to tell who is taller when 2 persons are that close.I reckon that a fraction under 6'5 is possible but if you look at footage of Jordan with 5'9 Michael Jackson I don't think there is much less than 8".For some reason the 1992 listings seem honest in many cases,could be that the dudes were measured in the evening.6'4.75" is still my opinion.

@Tunman: I don’t know. Barkley has said many times he was 6’4.75 and 6’4.5 both and came out 6’4 5/8. Barkley is shorter than Kobe these days and was said to be 6’4-6’5 during his playing days by teammates and coaches and even measured 6’4 5/8 at the Olympics. Knowing people who’ve met both Jordan and Barkley and Kobe too Kobe appears the tallest as they put him around 6’5. But only one person I know has met him. Jordan I know two that have both say 6’4 and change or about my height same with Barkley. 195cm is a bit high for someone to be 6’4-6’5 as they would look more 6’5 like Kobe does. As for pat riley I don’t see why he would undermine him in that way. He’s met him and interviewed him when he called games too. Magic at 6’7.5 is high for a peak height imho. See him next to Kurt Rambis who is listed 6’8 he is shorter than he is and only about an inch taller than Jamaal Wilkes assuming Wilkes really is 6’6 and not less like 6’5.5. My guesses are below:
Jordan 6’4.5
Barkley approximately 6’4.5-5/8
Kobe 6’4.75-6’5 peak
Magic 6’7-6’7.25 peak
Keep in mind for Jordan that 6’4.5 barefoot would get him 6’5.75 min in sneaks so that makes him like he claims “a little under 6’6”. I know myself as I can come to about 197 or slightly over it in a pair of sneaks and my low is 6’4 1/4 at night.But to your credit he would easily clear 6’5” out of bed and would don’t see him under the 6’4.5 peak

I don't know,Canson.He could often look the full 6'5 imo.Certainly 6'4.5" is arguable but here he is with Federer Click Here
If anything he's closer to 6'5 than 4 assuming footwear.I think there is always a chance for him to be 6'4.75".I know that Riley called him 6'4.5" but maybe he's trying to undermine him.The 1992 listing of the Olympics had him at 6'4 7/8" and Barkley at 6'4 5/8".I wouldn't argue anything less for Charles as he looks taller than most people listed at 6'5 on this site,so maybe that source was fair as even Magic Johnson at 6'7.5" is probably the lowest he was.

6’5.5-6’6” depending on the shoe. Hence why he mentioned he’s “a little under 6’6” before. But a peak Jordan was probably not much different than Jordan today. Likely was a guy who woke up anywhere between 6’5 1/8-3/8 and went to sleep 6’4 3/8-5/8. Hes always been right around 6’4.5 barefoot

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

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

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

Rob, where would a 6’7.5” guy land compared to Michael Jordan?

Editor Rob: about 2.5 inches is quite a noticeable amount, he would be halfway between the eyes and top of the head of the 6ft 7.5 man

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

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

@Jalen: he was 6’4 1/2 when he was drafted. He was never as tall as Reggie Miller who has admitted he’s himself 6’5/6’6. Jordan’s 6’6” is a shoe height rounded up

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

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

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