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".

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

Rob maybe closer to 6ft4 1⁄2 today?

Rob maybe closer to 6ft4 1⁄2 today?
Editor RobPossibly at an age which he could have lost 1/4, but I think still looks closer to 6ft 5 than 4 in recent years.

@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

@Viper: No, as a matter of fact i don’t like, nor do I support Alex Jones and other conspiracy theorists like him. I’m personally very close ideologically to the establishment Republicans like Bush, Cruz and Rubio. I support Israel, legal immigration, internationalism and foreign intervention when needed in order to insure U.S national security and strategic interests. There’s a big difference between the conservative/neoconservative wing within the Republican Party and right-wing populism or the so called alt-right.

Calling anybody something derogatory won’t get you anywhere, you’ve already lost the argument – which happens to be about height – by turning to pejoratives and ad-hominem arguments; It seem to be working out great for you however, so by all means do continue along your puerile, but non the less effective path. It’s very cute and all to see you so worked up and blushed, but please stop stalking me like some crazy ex-girlfriend on every CH page will you? I’m here to discuss height, not argue with you about non-height related subjects
P.S – You didn’t address a single height-related criticism.

Let’s keep it to the discussion, It’s tiresome to read your constant deviations and name-calling tactics as soon as someone argues with you. Learn how to engage in a factually based conversion with opposing viewpoints without getting emotional for once.
It really doesn’t matter that other individuals have pinned down Jordan below 6ft5, that’s not something that can be taken at face value. We should always judge someone’s height based on measurements and/or height-comparisons. Jordan himself claimed 6ft6 by the way, why doesn’t your logic apply to his claim?
No one with any knowledge about intelligence would argue that there’s any connection between someone’s mental capacity and knowing whether or not NBA-players are measured with or without shoes, you are talking above your head once again...

Gary Payton was supposedly measured 6'2.75 and I would bet that was closer to his morning height.
Yes. Payton is nowhere near 6’4. Payton is shorter than Wade at times and Wade is no more than 6’3”. I don’t believe 6’3.25 for an afternoon height for him when someone I know has met him and said that he didn’t even look a full inch taller than him at 6’2”. You can’t take what Willes is saying seriously. For someone who attacks people when they disagree with him, and says that he’s smarter and had a higher IQ than they do, he sure as hell doesn’t show it when he uses a basketball player’s listed height. Even with Jordan, I could respect someone saying 6’4.75” because he measured 6’4 1/2 and 6’4 7/8 but clearly not “at least 6’5.25”. But this is someone who inflates almost every celeb he comments on and he calls those who estimate below Rob “lefty liberals” like he did me. Again, not reflective of a person with a high IQ as someone who estimates below Rob would be estimating conservatively

Proof? Also can you link me pics of Jordan looking below 6ft5?
Look at the top of the page where Pat Riley said Jordan was 6’4.5” in addition he measured 6’4 7/8”. Where is your proof that he is 6’5.25? Or that Payton is 6’4? That’s Payton’s shoe height and as for Dr.J everyone knows that about him. You arrive at those estimates by inflating everyone. Maybe you aren’t aware (surprising being you boast about your IQ to everyone who listens) that NBA players are listed in shoes. They didn’t start measuring barefoot (or so they say) until 2019. Even then not all of them are believeable as Lebron is not 6’8.5”. Hes 6’7”. Jordan has always been a weak 6’5 guy at best. It’s funny that your entire tenure here you admonish or criticize people who estimate below Rob even once criticizing Rob and calling him a downgrader. Yet you take anyone who estimates at or above Rob and think they are always correct? And you called me a lefty liberal 😂? That is about as as asanine and as retarded as you get

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

@Fried Chicken: I don’t think it was at the olympics. That was supposedly at UNC when he measured that. But yes 6’4 7/8 would be a better listing for him than 6’5” flat because he has that measurement on record (along with 6’4.5) but doesn’t have a 6’5 measurement anywhere to be found

If he was meaaured 6'4.88 at the olympics age 29 wouldn't that be 6'4 7/8 or is it closer to a full 6'5 rounded up?

Maryland's Robert Carter looked extremely similar to Pippen physically on the court and he measured 6-6.75

@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: I could buy Strawberry being more of a 196 range guy at times as opposed to 195.5. Jordan I’ve never imagined (outside of my childhood when I didn’t know better) being anything close to 6’6” barefoot. Lol I wanted to be 6’6” when I was younger but of course knowing what 6’6” really looks like now I wouldn’t want it

@Viper: I wear a 13 at 6’4.25” so Jordan’s isn’t too small for his height as he’s likely not more than 1/4” give or take, taller than me

@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

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.

Kobe should not be listed 195 and Jordan 196. They should be the same at 195 or Jordan at 6’4.5” being he also measured that mark. He’s not taller than Kobe

@Shane: my money in his prime he was actually 6’4.5 or max 6’4 5/8 (something like 194.5cm). But I agree with you that he’s def under 6’5 afternoon height. 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

Jordan is under 6'5" by this sites afternoon barefoot standard and I think that is clear. I'm surprised you haven't adjusted this to 6'4 3/4" max, Rob.

@Roderick: lol I know right! That’s the second time I’ve done that with the picture. If you google the two Starks and jordan you’ll see it when They’re face to face on the court. Jordan is about 2.5” taller than Starks which adds up being Starks admitted to 6’2” so MJ 6’4.5 ish. I don’t rule out maybe 194.5 for him but that’s as high as I could give Jordan

Actually,Christian 6'4.5"is not impossible although you can discuss whether he was this mark or the 6'4 7/8" that did appear too often.Both are reasonable opinions.The whole thing is about how we can interpret Riley's claim in other words did he claim Jordan's exact mark or did he round down a mark like 6'4.75 or 6'4 7/8".Ultimately I'm still convinced that 6'4 7/8"was a true measurement although probably like Barkley it was an evening one so he wouldn't have lost much more than that or maybe 1/8 at most.And Barkley's at 6'4 5/8" is certainly the lowest arguable.I would still leave Jordan at 6'4.75 as the best compromise.It's not completely absurd to think he was exactly the same as Kobe.

@Duhon: an evening measurement would be more legitimate than a morning measurement. Rob has mentioned before that he assumes each person has been awake for 5 hours and that they measure around their low or maybe 1/8” above that mark. I think kobe is probably an afternoon measurement though. I doubt he goes below that by much. He does look more than just a solid 2” shorter than Lebron. I have Lebron pegged as solid 6’7” for site purposes

At the worst I can see Kobe and Jordan being identical, but I still give the edge to Kobe. If by a miracle Jordan's any taller, it's still not more than 1/8" since Jordan measured 6'4 7/8". And that's ignoring the fact that Pat Riley claimed that Jordan was measured 6'4.5" early in his career.

@Christian: I would still have Kobe maybe 1/4” taller In that picture. Kobe could look a weak 6’5” with Lebron to be honest whereas he looks 6’5” with others. I believe the 6’4.75 or maybe he dropped below by a mm or so. Jordan I would say 6’4.5 tho maybe even a mm under or over

@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.

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.

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.

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

His parents are below average height people plus his own brother is only in the 5 ft 8 range so MJ really got lucky with genetics

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 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

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.

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.

@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

He needs a downgrade. This is a morning height for him equivalent to someone else measuring an hour after waking but by CH standards 6’4.5.

Atually Jordan can look a bit over 6'4 1/2. Most of time he look 6'4 5/8 or 6'4 3/4.

@Dream(5'9.5") Well say Dream. He def get guess over 6'5 all the time. One point to say most of the 6'5 listed actors are not legit 6'5 like MJ too, prob most of them measure 6'4 1/2 and round up. Peter Cambor call himself 6'5 look more like MJ height or lower. I believe on the 6'4 1/2 is a low MJ get. He still look this range alot while Tom Brady is def a weak 6'4 with him.

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: fast forward to 3:03. That’s not even a 4” difference as President Obama is above Jordan’s eyebrows. If Obama was still a full 6’1” at that time Jordan would be 6’4 1/2 like he was when he was drafted. He likely was a guy who woke up to 6’5.25 and dipped to around 6’4.5 at a low in the afternoon

@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.

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

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
