Regardless, Canson, they still rounded down with Howard so it does happen. But as for Kobe, I can accept 6'5" now I think and say maybe he drops another 1/4" to 6'4.75".

I can still see 6'5.25. I wouldn't pinpoint his own claim as the truth just because most people who claim their height go the other way

@Shiva: he for sure would in the morning. I used to be a proponent of 194/195 but have seen more to where he looks a full 6'5" most of the time so 195 likely or maybe 194.85 is his lowest during the day

@Rising Force: Barkley was listed at 6'6" long before he played small forward. He played with chuck persons in college who by the way is 6'6.5-6'7 barefoot and clearly a good couple inches taller than Barkley is. Barkley was 6'6" listed in college. As for josh Howard he was listed 6'5" at the end of his career not the beginning. He was always 6'7" then. He "became" 6'5" when he began playing guard when they signed Shawn Marion

Canson, see the pics I cite as good pics on my latest Barkley page post, since I'm not going to retype the same thing here. I always say that comparisons that aren't full, video or series of pics should should be taken with a grain of salt.
As for using heights as reference, well seeing Kirzinger with Kane Hodder and Rob, I thought 6'5" was fair, but even better if he's shorter because that would just prove my point about head size more. As for Krist, I already explained that I sometimes use Rob's height as a reference. You use other heights that aren't proven as reference as well. It's a normal thing to do on this site. Then if we think a reference height is wrong, we can make our case for it in a rebuttal. Krist wasn't 1.5" taller than Barkley in the SNL appearance anyway, but again that's for the Barkley page.
As for NBA listings, there have been plenty listed at their height w/o shoes and plenty of half inch round ups. On rare occasions, we even see players rounded down from their measured height. For instance, 6'5.25" Josh Howard was listed 6'5" for a while and 6'6" Paul Pierce was listed that most of his career until Garnett and Ray Allen were traded to Boston. Barkley also played small forward at times like '90 and '91 with Mahorn and Gminski and then at times on the Suns with A.C. Green. I maintain Barkley is no less than 6'5.5" and closer to 6'7" than 6'6" in shoes, but I'll keep making that case on the Barkley page.

@rising force: both Crawford and Redd received pre draft measurements. Why is Redd's superior to Crawford's? It's also possible Redd is really 6'4.5 or just the same way. In the Nba if someone is at 6'4.51 they can round up. They go even lower sometimes from maybe a solid inch up to 3/4" or could even be that they took place at different times meaning measurements or that one laid down and the other didn't etc. redd is 1/4" shorter than kobe is that's about all. I mean look at the variations in heights with the thousands of people on Rob's site alone over the years. We all measure differently and almost none of us (very few) measure exact on a fraction 1/4" 1/2" 3/4" full inch or even 1/8, 3/8 5/8. One difference with Redd vs Crawford is that redd played some 3 in college whereas Crawford played 1 and 2 in college so he got a measurement that was likely exact and maybe a hair over or under it who knows but 6'5" was tall enough and ideal for him. For Redd he was listed 6'6" at OSU and was the same swing man type as others

@Rising Force: but Part of the issue with your comparisons is that you with those types of pics they are no good for comparison but equally bad pictures or worse that Barkley appears taller in are Holy Grail. That's how it is on this site for Many posters tho. and you take listed or self proclaimed heights like Kirzinger or Krist when they may not be accurate. Krist is guessed on his page as 6'6" barefoot not 6'7. Most posters see that. I don't know how tall the former is but Barkley isn't 6'5.5 sorry. That's his height in shoes. If he were really 6'6 or 6'5.5 (being a power forward) where most are 6'8"-6'9 back then or above he would've been listed as 6'7" on the roster not 6'6". 6'6" came because there was no way he would appear 6'7" next to someone who was really 6'6" barefoot or 6'7 or even a guy around 6'5.5-6'6" like Reggie miller. Miller is clearly taller than Barkley as they've stood side by side on Inside the NBA on TNT before and at the mayweather pacquiao fight

The Crawford comparison is the shorter Kobe we've sometimes seen(with Wade at '07 all-star game as well, he looked about 6'4.5" there) but we can't act like one photo that isn't full nails down Kobe when we have the videos of him with Obama and Magic looking to easily clear 6'5" or the full photo with Kobe side by side visibly taller than 6'4.75" Michael Redd.

In Barkley's case, the front view looks surprisingly in proportion as Barkley's head looks no bigger than 6'5" Ken Kirzinger at just over 10" and his eye to head is normal for a man that size at 5". If you see the distorted ones, you'll get foot long heads on average height men. Barkley could gain a fraction from the front view, but I don't see 1"-1.5". Now the side view is a different story, Barkley's head is an inch longer than the front view, but for the front view, Robert Downey Jr's mugshot appears to have a lower angle than Barkley's.

Rob has already mentioned numerous times that a mugshot on Barkley a taller person where he looks down at the camera (adding height) is not ideal for measuring.
As for Kobe he is the same height as Jamal Crawford in the picture they have below that I posted so don't see how Kobe is "over" 6'5. Rob has him listed about as accurately as he can be here as that 1/4" isn't that easy to detect in pics so he may me taller by 1/4" or the 195cm may not be kobes lowest he may also dip to around 6'4 5/8ish

Editor Rob I'd say with his mugshot had the camera was a few inches below his eyes. How much fake height it adds is debatable and really hard to say exactly.
For an ideal mugshot it really needs to be as tall the subject.

@Canson
Me sometimes claiming 6'6" is not because I want to make myself any taller than I am, because I believe a strong 6'5" is more than plenty. The 2 reasons I claim it is because, 1. A lot of guys 6'3-6'4" claim 6'5", so it makes 6'5" a bit diminished. 2. I feel like I have to follow the trend and claim taller (so people don't think I'm downplaying my height, because pretty much everyone preceives me as 6'6" or 6'7", when I'm not) Trust me, if everyone was honest with their height and stop with all the exaggerating, I would gladly claim 6'5" or 6'5" and a bit.

@Christian: for your height I probably would never claim 6'6" just because you almost never will look it unless in something like the high boots or Jordan's even then maybe 6'5.5 is a very good claim otherwise you said you hit right at or a mm under 6'5" at an absolute low the 6'5 and change or even 6'5" in a casual shoe (you'd be exactly 6'6" at your lowest with 3/4" shoe). We're similar in respective height range just an inch apart as I also hit 6'4.25 on a day where I've been a bit more active otherwise 193.9 but am consistent in that I usually end up 193.7-194 depending on how active with an absolute low more like 193.1 or .2

@Christian: I'm consistent at that too. Btw I measured yesterday and you are right it's more 3.2 or 3.3 than 3 flat. You are absolutely right as you often have been. That makes sense as some jordans are as high as 1.4". 1.2 maybe undercutting it. When I measured I was 197.2-.3 in sneaks and 194 just on the dot yesterday early afternoon

I never claim 6'6" if I'm in rather thin footwear like Vans, Converse, loafers or slides. The only time I claim 6'6" is when I'm in regular sized shoes, but sometimes I say 6'5.5" in them as well. Even if I wear near 2" work boots, I still either claim 6'5.5" or 6'6", never 6'7", despite the fact that I'm 6'7" when wearing them.

@Christian: you were right it's more 3.2cm. I gained more 1.25/1.3" so I underestimated the difference saying 3.0. I measured the194 cm flat at 1pm and about 197.2-.3 in the Jordan sneakers. But to answer I'd still say 6'4.5 tops. I don't claim more than that generally as the same can be said when I wear a low shoe I could look a solid 6'4 if I'm in flats evening time as i come down to 6'4.25-.3 evenings when I go to The gym or am on my feet more which make me under 6'5 in flats or a full 6'5 in casual shoes or a hair over. So that's the reason why I don't adjust because the shoes playing the role account for it and being I don't go in sneakers often and I'm only 197 in higher sneaks it didn't make much sense to claim one today and one tomorrow tho

@Christian: the Jordan 10 is 3 solid. I'm 197 in them. I claim the same regardless of shoe never 6'5" really and I wear casual which usually have .75". Puts me 6'5" or hair over. I say 6'4 1/2 6'4 and change usually. But I do agree with most of what you said

Do you claim 6'4.5" or 6'5" if wearing thicker shoes? Because if you wear relatively thick shoes, like Jordans for example, most people will preceive you to be basically 6'5", because those kind of shoes give you roughly 3.5cm, which is more than your average regular shoes which may give you 2-2.5cm

@Christian: I've seen him say 6'4.5 or someone who went to his basketball camp said it online. I don't think he was insecure or downplaying his height I think when he said 6'4" he was in essence telling the kid that everyone thinks he's 6'7" but he's not really .

Christian, yes, but factor in shoes for Ja Rule and many shoes will take him near 5'7.5" so then you can say the camera adds somewhere around an inch. In Barkley's case, we know the camera added an inch one time because he looked 6'8" in shoes from one angle and 6'7" from the other. I think the 6'7" in shoes was about accurate with the camera adding maybe a half inch as you always stand in front of it. Barkley is also bald so he gets no benefit of hair like Ja Rule does. Even in the Ja Rule instance, you have him getting maybe an inch from camera advantage assuming he's about the height Rob lists him. In Barkley's case, he'd need to get over 2" from the one angle that had him 6'8" in shoes for him to be under 6'5" barefoot. Chances are, Barkley was also at his low for his mugshot because he was arrested for a bar fight at night. In short, you have to find a mugshot that adds 2" to someone's in shoes height to really explain Barkley.

Canson, I do know for sure Barkley and Kobe have downplayed their height because both have given a flat 6'4" at times! You and I agree they're definitely not that short, therefor it can't be denied that they will downplay their height at times, the question is by how much and when are they telling the truth. 6'5.5" in shoes doesn't make sense since Barkley has stood in front of a height chart at 6'7" in shoes.
-----
Mugshot height charts are not always accurate. Click Here 5'6.25" Ja Rule looked 5'8.5" based on the chart. I personally even know quite a few people who were up to 3 inches shorter in person, than what their mugshot photo chart suggested them to be.

Michael Redd looks pretty clearly shorter standing behind Kobe and Redd was measured 6'4.75" at the pre-draft camp: Click Here If I'm going to pick who I trust more with an accurate measurement between people who do it as part of their job at the pre-draft camp and a maybe not even 5'4" Vanessa Bryant, it's not a difficult choice. I won't rule out 6'4.75" as a low height for Kobe, but with Rob giving an extra quarter inch to Steve McQueen and Marlon Brando over their far more plausible measurements, I think at least an upgrade to 6'5" to even Kobe up with Jordan would make sense.

I respect your opinion, Arby and I can't tell me what I saw, but unless you can show me Barkley looking shorter, it won't convince me. I've seen Barkley with legit 6'7" Krist Novoselic on video and he's barely shorter. Look at 6'0" or 6'1" guys with Barkley. He dwarfs them. Then finally we have Barkley standing I'm front of a height chart at 6'7".

Sorry Rising Force: I have to agree with Canson as I am 6'4" in shoes that Barkley isn't "6'7" in shoes. Having met the guy as much as I have and even seem a coworker at a legit 6'7 barefoot (6'8 in shoes) there's no possible way a guy is nearly 3" taller if he's 6'7" in shoes. Barkley is 6'5.5 in shoes

Having met the guy as much as I have and even seem a coworker at a legit 6'7 barefoot (6'8 in shoes) there's no possible way a guy is nearly 3" taller if he's 6'7" in shoes. Barkley is 6'5.5 in shoes

Canson, I do know for sure Barkley and Kobe have downplayed their height because both have given a flat 6'4" at times! You and I agree they're definitely not that short, therefor it can't be denied that they will downplay their height at times, the question is by how much and when are they telling the truth. 6'5.5" in shoes doesn't make sense since Barkley has stood in front of a height chart at 6'7" in shoes.

@Rising Force: suggestion. Say you think Barkley downplays his height. You don't know for sure he or Kobe do and if they measured those numbers at some point they aren't fluff. They are more than justified claiming it. Barkley has claimed multiple numbers yes. 6'5.5 is in shoes

I'll tell you, but first I'll tell you I don't think it's at all relevant because of the unique reason Barkley downplays his height. It goes along with his image as an undersized power forward and dominant rebounder. Dennis Rodman did the same thing when he said 6'6", even though Rob lists him at 6'6.5". As for Kobe, you know he's downplayed his height. Kobe himself never even claimed the 6'4 3/4", that was his wife who said she measured him. Kobe himself has said 6'4" and then 6'5" in sneakers. We both agree he's at least around an inch taller than that. You can find some tall men on this site as well as tall women who clearly downplay, but in Barkley's case, as it is he's quite short for his position and his style of playing. So Barkley does indeed have a reason to lie. People lie or exaggerate their height, in most cases it's to be taller, but in Barkley's case, it feeds into the image of the greatest inch for inch rebounder(outside of Rodman) and makes his accomplishments relatively more impressive. Whether you think he is playing it down, he definitely has a reason to. As for Kobe, he'd seemingly have a reason to, but as I mentioned he undoubtedly DOES play down his height because we agree he's not a mere 6'4" barefoot and 6'5" in sneakers like he claims. Btw, look at a few of the tall old time actors like Gary Cooper who only claimed to be 6'2", but most think was at least 6'3". Also, look at the quote Brian Aherne mentioned. "Gary Cooper once leaned over ... and asked me my height. When I whispered '6 feet 2 1/2', he whispered back, 'never admit to 6-feet-3.'" It's not at all implausible Barkley plays it down, since we know Kobe does and 6'3" actors have. If Barkley has no reason to lie, then why would he also claim 6'5.5"? Certainly, there's less reason for a man so far above the average to give himself an extra half inch to 3/4". As for me, I was measured last year on a stadiometer at 5'9" according to the nurse, but I was wearing Converse(0.6") and had my hoodie up(an extra 1/8", maybe 1/4") so based on that I'm a little over 5'8" barefoot unless I was actually a fraction over 5'9" in sneakers and the nurse didn't include it. I've measured myself in socks a few times a little taller than that implies, but between 5'8" and 5'9" either way. Funny enough, I guessed a friend of mine at 6'2" and he told me he was 6'3", then I see a photo of us with other friends and while he could have been on higher ground, I'm standing straight, maybe even slightly on my toes, he's leaning and my head only seems to reach his mouth, so it seems he was indeed a legit 6'3", even though I thought he was a bit shorter, perhaps because he always has to look down to talk to someone my size so he wouldn't be standing at his full height.

@rising force: well Kobe and Barkley have no reason to lie. How tall are you by the way? I ask because someone like me or Christian both of us being 6'4 and change and 6'5+ can tell easier what to look for. I ask too because you think people downplay a lot more than they do maybe the guys you think are 6'4 aren't really maybe only 6'2-6'3 and your perspective may be skewed.

Kobe can look 6'4.75" at times, I agree, but clearly looks taller at other times. As for Barkley, for all I know they got that figure from Chuck himself. But 6'4 5/8" is closer to 6'5" than 6'4". Check my recent post on the Barkley page when it goes through. I have a 3 pic series, a near full shot, a pic from the same angle as the Barkley/Kobe pic and one more to suggest Barkley is only about 1.5" or 2" absolute max shorter than Magic, but we can continue that on Barkley's page and try to stay on Kobe here.

@123: Strahan is 6'4.25 so puts Kobe as 6'4.75 if he has a half inch on Michael strahan like you said. This is more likely as he can likely dip even a hair below this mark (mm or two) as can any human being

@Rising Force: doubt it. Why would they say 6'4 5/8 for Barkley then? They would've said he's closer to 6'4". But 6'7-6'7.25 I agree on. Pat Riley calls magic 6'7" as well. And he isn't significantly taller than Cooper or Wilkes and shorter than Rambis is who is weak 6'8" guy rambis isn't much taller than Phil Jackson and wasn't as tall as robert horry who's 6'8. Barkley by the way is 3" shorter than magic or very near nothing less than 6cm

@Rising Force: Kobe looks 195cm almost always on the court. If you see Kobe by Rick Fox (196/197) and a guy like Metta World peace he's shorter by 1/2-3/4 than both guys. Fox has said himself he's "6'5 while ballin 6'7 actin". My guess strong 6'5" 196.5-197 as Dob said Joshua looked taller in person than him not to mention nobody's eye is perfect Christian is 6'5 3/8 afternoon and someone could see him and guess him 6'5.5-6'6" because it's less than a cm here or there. MWP said he is 6'5.5 but again could be combine measurement earlier in the day and could only be 6'5.25 or could be 6'5 3/8 (they don't do 1/8" increments instead they round up). They also rounded up more a long time ago so the 6'7.5 you mentioned pippen being even if he did measure close to that it could've been 6'7 1/8 or 1/4" and rounded up since they didn't do 1/4" before. I've met Larry Johnson in person as well as played against Caron Butler. Notice Larry Johnson is listed 6'5.5 and butler 6'5.25. Butler is 2cm taller than I am when I stood next to LJ the same as my 196.3cm friend. They don't look any different in person ether. Id say LJ is Christian's height.

Well, 6'7.5" would be closer to 6'7" than 6'9", even 6'7.75" would be, but I do remember how Magic was noticeably shorter than Larry Bird, who did seem a pretty legitimate 6'9" to me, but must have shrunk with that awful back of his. Strong 6'7" is possible for Magic since he was really dwarfed by Kareem. I really think anything from 6'7" to 6'7.5" is possible. I think a wide range is arguable for Kobe, sort of like Barkley. Even if Magic is 6'7", Kobe is definitely looking 6'5"+ there and I remember the Laker championship photos where Magic wasn't that much taller than Kobe while both were dwarfed by Shaq.

@Rising Force: he can look taller but have to remember that magic is listed 6'7.5 here he's more 6'7" flat is how he appears which makes Kobe around 6'5". 1/4" difference isn't easy to tell. Magic next to rambis was noticeably shorter and same with Wilkes and copper or stern barely taller than they were. It also said at the olympics closer to 6'7" than 6'9 (you saw how specific they were with Barkley 6'4 5/8) maybe magic is 6'7-6'7.25

Typically, Kobe looks more like a 6'5.5" guy to me, such as with Obama, but surprisingly, these pics with a 6'3.75" do lend credence to the 6'4.75" measurement: Click Here Click Here He did look pretty much identical to Michael Jordan as well. But if Magic is 6'7.5" then Kobe looked to easily clear 6'5" at Michael Jackson's memorial service: Click Here Maybe the 6'4.75" was an evening measurement at Kobe's low or Vanessa was off slightly because with a few exceptions, Kobe does look to easily clear 6'5". Obama is around 6'1" and his head struggled to come even to Kobe's eyes. There's a case to be made for 6'4.75" as shown in the pics with Wade, but then Obama is looking around 182 cm and Magic, only in the 6'6" range.

@Nick: 193 for Cam? No chance. May drop to 195 but he isn't any shorter than Kobe is. Both would clear well over 196cm out of bed and probably are 6'4.75 worst case they dip to weak 6'5" 6'4 2/3-3/4. Cam looks as tall as Roethlisberger does and about as tall as Peyton in most pics.

@Kei: it's tough to tell with no objects. I'm not sure if you watch Dave chapelles new show out. He looks way taller than '0" on their because of how they magnify him so in truth proportions and build can throw things off a lot. I agree with Christian on that. Me at 194 cm I easily pass for 6'5/6'6" the way I'm built when I'm really 6'4" avg height and closer to it at 6'4 3/8 so he could be 6'8" your height or could be 6'10 like Johnson and I thought too

Well said Christian and that is why people often underestimate or overestimate peoples heights. Like Kobe Bryant as an example because of how he is built and looks in pics next to "unmeasured" people who self proclaim a height. An example would be you as a strong 6'5" me as a strong 6'4" if I were to claim 6'6" (I would never do this of course) people would assume with you next to me that you were at least 6'7" and if camera angle is favoring you even taller than 6'7". Word to the wise some of these guys like Charles Barkley and Kobe and Howard stern may actually and likely are actually telling the truth about their heights

He is the tallest guy that I have ever seen
--------
I would have guessed that the taller guy is maybe 6ft8-ish, while the shorter one is maybe 6ft2. But you can't usually predict height just by looking at a person's body proportions. Skinny people with long limbs, short torsos and small heads can give the impression of being very tall, even if they're only of average height, if you have no objects to compare, like Canson said. This is why models look very tall, they are slim and typically have long limbs, short torsos and small heads.

One reliable NBA comparison is to Brandon Roy when he played. I've balled with Roy and he's a legit listed strong 6'5 close to his pre draft (6'5.25) no less than maybe 195.6-196. In game he looks 1cm taller than Kobe 196 vs 195

She really can look like 5'3 and nothing next to kobe but sometimes look near 5'3.5 range, she round up her height more possible then round down. I totally don't see her 5'4. Kobe shoulder tip level is like 5'3.75 and basically look a little higher than vanessa when she not in heels. You may check out her instagram with kobe. 5'3-5'3.5 is possible than 5'4. Guys like us over 6'3 and up our shoulder tip is usually 33cm measure from the tip of our head.

Click Here How tall would you say he looks here with 6ft1.75 Thierry Henry, Rob? I'm seeing about 4.5inches difference, but that would put Kobe at just over 6ft6??
Shame we can't see footwear. Maybe that's where the difference is...

Editor Rob can seem near 4 inches, always a chance Henry is 186, he seems like he is closer to Tony Parker who claimed 186cm too.

@Johnson: she can look 5'4" sometimes. But I don't believe her losted height as a cheerleader of 5'5". 5'4" or weak 5'4" maybe looks legit for her. She looks about a foot shorter than he is which could also mean 13" hard to tell that difference between 12-13

Rob,
What do you make of Kobe standing next to a strong 6'4 Bill O'reilly (pictured with Howard Stern before and Conan and so on)? Kobe seems to have at the very least 1 full inch on Bill. Kobe's posture is terrible to boot. A 6'5 upgrade for this webpage seems reasonable at this point, no?

He could've also measured a full 6'5" or over another time as well. I saw one at 6'5.25 for Fiba. but has also said that he's 6'4 1/2" once barefoot as well and 6'6 in triple socks and shoes. Then of course this 6'4.75. My guess is the FIBA was just earlier in the day or maybe when his hair was longer. My guess is:
196.5-197 out of bed
194.5-195 at his lowest
Absolute low could be 194 cm which would be in his feet all day but normal low should be around 194.9 6'4.75

(well as long as you look as good as Kobe and are on the taller side also)

Editor Rob: it could be within a fraction...he can pull off 6ft 5 a fair amount, so maybe you could call 6ft 4.75 his lowest.
I think that's fair. Seeing as this was just some measurement his wife chose to do it could have been in the evening after a game even when she measured him.

@SJH: that could mean she was measured early and Kobe may have been for all we know. But I believe Kobe as 194.95 maybe dips a hair under at night because most guess him 6'5". My former AAU coach is a scout In the pros and has met him and said he looked about 6'5 ish but believes the 6'4.75. Also has met MJ and Barkley and said they're similar to me in height 6'4-6'5

Agree Rob. He looks 6'5" to most at 195cm. Virtually no difference even if he were 6'4 5/8 wearing his Nike he'd be about 6'6" which people would assume 6'5 or 6'6

@Rob and Johnson; that shouldn't be a surprise though that he isn't 6'6" barefoot. No NBA players are listed that way. Carmelo Anthony is for sure 6'6-6'6.25 and he's clearly 1.5" taller than Kobe is. I've met Melo in person and he was 1.5-2" taller than me so 195 or more specifically 194.945 (6'4.75) is perfect for Kobe

@SJH: this is a different angle. Cam is not shorter than him. If you had them both at same vantage point Cam looks physically taller. My guess is they're the same height. I've heard of people who have met cam one of which is a 6'5" friend of my cousins who did and says they're the same height. Now no guarantee my cousins friend is 6'5" flat could be 6'4.75 as well but my cousin did say his friend looks about 1/2" taller than me. My cousin is about 190cm himself 6'2.75 or so and he said about 2".

If you look at the top of ear will give you clue. they're an inch apart as kobe looking straight at camera and newton tilt up head a little and kobe shoes maybe 0.5-1cm more heel than newton sneakers. Newton is only 6'4.5 max like i say before 194cm since kobe is 195cm simplify it as 1cm apart. 6'4.5 Colin kaepernick, cam newton and other NFL players were just like NBA players draft measurement in the early morning and all look half inch shorter than their without shoes listing.

Kobe is dropping height in that picture though so Kobe 194.9cm-195.5cm, Cam newton 193.3-194cm (morning measurement taken), I will admit Kobe does look taller than the flat six four I originally thought he was I'm starting to believe his wife's measurement of 6'4 3/4" was real afternoon height, and that Kobe was downplaying with flat 6'4 193cm claim

@Dillon: that's the same with with Jordan or Barkley or anyone else. They can all appear taller than someone else or shorter. Pictures are not a good vehicle for comparison at least not always. I have one with my 6'3 friend where we are standing next to each other at a bar and he appears slightly taller in one and the same height in another. Then we stood back to back and it's 1-1.5". At the end of the day Dr J prime is 6'5.5. I even know someone who is close in height with me (he's maybe 193) that said he thought Doc was a full 6'6" but again 1.5/2" is hard to tell and most people round up heights just for effect so a 6'4.5 guy like us especially with a 6'3.5 guy will call us 6'5" even tho we both dip closer to 6'4 than 6'5 at night which is why Kobe appears more 6'5 than 6'4. But I've seen Kobe with Michael Redd or Melo in good pics and he's clearly shorter so 6'4.75 looks good for him. Redd is likely our height more or less. They do round up the numbers from 6'4.5/6'4.625 in some cases and he and Kobe are maybe 1/4" apart

Although Julius Erving who is supposed to be 6'5.5, edges Kobe out by 1/2 to 3/4 of a inch or so which would put Kobe at about 6'4.75. This is a tough one. Is he 6'6 or 6'4.75? I suppose we will never really know for sure unless the someone where to ask him.

I found a photo worth looking at. Kobe appears to be the same height if not slightly taller than 6'6 Jalen Rose. Seems like every time I jump on the 6'4.75 bandwagon, I find some other photo that makes me jump back on to the 6'6 bandwagon. I got to say I'm 50 50 on Kobe being 6'6 or 6'4.75. His height is really mysterious to me.

@S.J.H: I believe it truly! He's always been a hair taller. I think a peak Kobe may have been 194.8/194.9 while MJ peak 194.4.-194.5 and essentially in that 6'4.5-.6 range while Kobe probably was around 6'4.7-.75 peak he looks about 1/8-1/4" shorter and looks about 1/4" or so lower than Vince carter as well. My guesses would be:
Vince 6'4 3/4-6'5 (6'4.83-.85)
Kobe 6'4 2/3- 6'4 3/4 (6'4.7)
MJ 6'4 1/2 (6'4.5)

Vince 6'4 3/4-6'5 (6'4.83-.85)
Kobe 6'4 2/3- 6'4 3/4 (6'4.7)
MJ 6'4 1/2 (6'4.5)

@S.J.H: Kobe is taller than he is. Yep and I posted that pic before but nobody wants to believe Barkley isn't even 6'5. They instead will come up with an excuse "Oh we can't see the shoes etc etc etc". Barkley may have lost a fraction but any way you slice it his teammates have all said he's 6'4 range not 6'5" meaning he probably never was unless he was measured almost immediately upon waking and that's prob where the 6'4.75 came from maybe 2 hours or so out of bed or after some stretching or laying down. Kobe at 6'4.75 I can believe tho and kobe's head is tilted down which makes the top of his head higher making him taller because of the way his head is shaped. I know because I have stop on mine and it's the same thing

@Johnson: my suspicion is he wasn't measured at all at the Hopps Summit and they listed it.for sure theNBA isn't going to under list someone especially the number one pick with all he has riding on this selection and his status

@Johnson: yes I saw that but again how is he "appearing" 6'1" to the people on this page who have met him? How is he 5" shorter than Carmelo Anthony? And no Melo isn't any taller than his pre draft states that's the most he'd be

@Johnson: Rose was drafted in 2008 my man. He's about 5" shorter than Carmelo Anthony minimum. Like I've said I've seen and stood next to Melo he is at very very most his predraft measurement no taller. No he didn't grow because I saw him last year same footwear stance etc. it's just that his pre draft is one of the few that is accurate out there.So if he is 6'6-6'6.25 explain to me how a guy 5" shorter is 6'2.5? Rose's Afro doesn't even come up to Melo's eyebrows so that should tell you something there. Rose is 6'1" range at very most he's 6'1.5 like Rob has him but I believe that is a stretch like everyone else below has said. You keep using your soccer players who you claim you email and receive insider trading like Enron about but you are wrong. They can lie about their players just like anyone Manny now or joe on the street could self proclaim theirs. I'm sorry but you have no argument here and your story changes every time you reply to me to where you are honestly beginning to sound less and less intelligent and like you are one sided at looking to inflate people to accommodate someone else's height.

@Canson I meant errors of copy paste figures anyway. Just compare Rose on shoes 2007 and 2008. You guessed Zidane 184.5 too much for evening... that is what I give him

@Dillon: I used to measure 194.2 afternoon but lost small fraction like 2mm and get down to 193.9 at night I say 6'4 as well because I have taller friends who are precise and one that rounds down like a 6'5.33 friend who claims 6'5 and doesn't say change

@Johnson: no offense you are naive. Anyone can tell you that someone is taller on the inside of the org. It's called stat fudging and boosting. If I had a guy who was 6'0" as a basketball player I may call him 6'1" that's what they do. You probably haven't verified a thing in reality

@Johnson: I respect your opinion but you make no sense whatsoever. "If someone can assure you Rose and Melo are the heights they are measured". What the hell does that mean? So you're saying they're both taller than what they are listed or are you judiciously want to make them taller to make the "math work with everyone else you comment"? Not many people 18-20 grow. That is overblown. If you look comparatively against one another what they measured as it's a 5" diff. In fact one looks 6'1" the other 6'6"-6.25 imho. If you look at Lebron next to Melo he's 1-2cm taller. An you previously made Lebron 6'8 on his page. How? He's shorter than Kevin love or carlos boozer. He's max 6'7 and I agree with S.J.H maybe 200cm as how he looks next to Melo. Looks 1/2" tops. The person below was right who said he was taller than rose and he said rose is 6'1".

@Canson If predrafts measurements are fine I would not argue over them. If I do it is because I heard someone one day saying some of the figures were wrong in draftexpress. If people could assure me Melo and Rose were measured at that figures then it would be ok. Another thing it is some players can grow up after 18-20 some fraction
The difficult thing is to agree about hours in listings. As I work with data of footballers in website and they are morning heights I work onto that base. If in some job we judge heights of our medicals at 2-4 hours after waking up, I consider them as ok. It depends, so I normally claim heights for this site earlier than Rob's. If it is 0.5 cm of difference it does coincide but if I see a whole centimetre or 1.5 cm I discuss them and give my opinion

@Dillon the very first pic does favor Kobe. He's closer to the camera. Manning is further back. We would need a back to back or one where they are behind one another like the olympics to tell that. And when two people are that close in height it can go either way. I have pics with my father who's 1cm to 1/2" shorter that can make him look even with me or taller depending on angle or shoes

@Johnson: you just said exactly what I was saying all along and no it isn't what you said before your story has changed.yes I agree Most people will claim especially on this site what they measure at the given time. Most measure afternoon and use that as a rule of thumb here as most follow rob's method.
But one thing jake mentioned on Lebron's page he use right about they do manipulate measurements. I know because I have a friend who is a scout who says they do it when the spine is at it's peak often and they even throw shoes in the barefoot column so my best judgment is off of people who have seen them in person or myself as a gauge. But You're saying that rose is 6'2.5 when he measured 6'1.5 he's not even that out of bed esp when you have guys that have met him in person saying he's 6'1" flat. As I said earlier, most people when assessing the athletes on this site (I don't myself but most do) use the pre drafts as their rule of thumb. We do not know what time they occur in every sport. But in basketball they are very early as shown since 2009. But you instead are inflating pre drafts. So most people for example with Isaiah Thomas will say he is 5'8.75 if he didn't say himself he's 5'8. Carmelo Anthony measured 6'6.25. Point im making is you're giving melo 1/4" extra justifying that his measurement should be 2-3 hours out of bed. I on the other hand am using rob's method of 5-7 hrs out of bed (my own height) yes I am 194 exactly in cm (come down to 193.9 at night usually sometimes 193.7 if I go to the gym and can come down even lower if I'm on my feet. However I consider the 194 my true height as I always have (I actually have said 6'4 1/2 mostly which is 194.3 because I round and because I don't feel like arguing with strong 6'3s who claim 6'4 because like you said a lot do measure in the morning. What I am saying is that a morning measurement shouldn't be any more superior to an afternoon and I agree with Rob it should be what you measure most frequently and the longest throughout the day. I am about 194 most of true day. You're essentially adding fractions on people like Melo or Kobe who were measured quite accurately. Kobe is 1.5" shorter than Melo approximately. He's 6'6" in shoes and about 195 in bare feet. He looks 195 next to melo or next to Devaean George or Matt Barnes or Metta world peace or Rick fox. MWP has claimed 6'5.5 as his height could be that or 6'5.25 he's 1/2" or 3/4 taller than Kobe is.
@Dillon: Kobe is 6'6" in shoes. That's what his dad referred to. 6'6.5 maybe early in the day in Jordans. We have someone at 6'5-6'5.25 KROC on his page who has met him and said he's 1/2" taller than Kobe is. You also have another person who met him Smoke on Allen Iverson's page that said Kobe is 6'5" on a good day which is how Richard Jefferson described Vince carter and Kobe isn't any taller than Vince if even as tall. My friend a NBA scout has met and played with Kobe. He told me Kobe doesn't look more than maybe 1/4-1/2" taller than me in person and that at a solid 6'2 like he is Kobe is 2.5-3" taller. He said Kobe looks "at most" 6'5 on a good day as well. So how is Kobe 6'6 or 6'6.5 when he's shorter than Melo is. I've met Melo he's 1.5-2" taller than me. He's 198-198.8 precisely a strong 6'6". Kobe is about identical with Jamal Crawford who measured 6'4.5 so no he isn't 6'5 and not 6'5.25. Just some food for thought Peyton manning isnt 6'5.25 at this stage of his life. He is shorter than JJ Watt by 1/4-3/8" in the papa John commercials. Also how do we know 6'5.25 was his low either? He could in his prime have gotten to 196 flat or 6'5 1/8 too. Manning is 6'5" tops today. And he is not shorter than Kobe in some pics he edges him. But to keep it real pics aren't always a good way to judge because of camera angles. My guess is he's 1/4" taller than Kobe is max. Or they're both about 195cm. Manning looked about 2" shorter just about than Osweiler did as well so he for sure isn't over 6'5". Osweiler is 6'6 7/8 combine which is morning so maybe 6'6 5/8-3/4. But more food for thought when someone is in their 40s now when height loss can begin, has been a pro athlete for nearly 20 years and taken beatings and has had 4 neck surgeries how is him not losing height possible? It's more likely he did than didn't.

@Canson: By the way, I'm the same exact height as you. Every single time I go to the doctor except one time they've measured me at 6'4 and a half. The one exception was 6'4 and a quarter. I've had a lot of people think I'm 6'5 or 6'6, but I tell them I'm 6'4.

Kobe is not even 6'5 at most 6'4-5/8th like a younger charles barkley. Both mj and barkley look dead on 6'4.5 nowadays. On the youtube clip peyton manning look 1 cm or half inch shorter than kobe when the camera is on the corrected angle. I did daring to say peyton is only 6'4 if kobe at lowest he claim 6'4.5 and at most 6'4.25 for peyton and kobe 6'4.75 max. None of them is 6'5 or 6'6. Check out dennis rodman as the true solid 6'6 fool many people think he was 6'7-6'8 he was not

He's also two inches taller than 6'4 Conan and taller than 6'5 Cam Newton. Kobe is 6'6. I'm sorry that's just a fact. You can make excuses all you want, but it doesn't change the facts.

@Canson my point actually is to valid the measurement done in a medical test. Perhaps it was a missunderstanding. I mean, if a speak to a footballer and he tells me "I am 177, I am measured every year", or a typical person, that would be their height, if they are not forcing the posture of course.
I don't know if you know what I mean. Rob is 173 cm in medicals. If you are not doing medicals, then you go by the measurements at home. In your case I see you are 1.94 m exactly. My case is weird that is why I became obsessed with my own case. I am normally 175.5 evening to night. Never under 175 cm. 177.5 out of bed. 2 hours after waking up I am 176. This year I was measured in a medical, in at 17:20 and I was 175.3, and also I have done a medical in the morning but 4 hours after waking up and doing walking in the park for 2 km and I was said 175.

@S.J.H: I agree with everything you said. I have never for the life of me gotten why people feel the need to claim to be taller than they are or claim someone else is just for the sake of it. I honestly believe most people (usually shorter guys and taller guys who want to be taller or have egos) inflate others because they are insecure with themselves. But you and I along with select others here know that inflating does no good. You being 6'7 and me being 6'4+ know that inflating our heights has no incentive in our lives as it is just more problems. Back problems which I have doorway problems and vehicle which you would have in a high soles shoe and the latter for me in vehicles. I love when you see a 5'9" guy ask how tall you are and I say 6'4 and change and they argue with you because they believe they are 5'11. Then when you prove it to them " it's always well in shoes you're so and so such and such". It's always an excuse. I've never gotten it. Just because they want to be taller or are insecure with their height doesn't mean you have to follow suit just to accommodate their insecurity with themselves

@Johnson: sorry but your post made no sense saying all "normal people" say their height 2-3 hours and not 6-7 hrs. Rob is the site master and most people on this site use their afternoon or evening. So what you are telling me is that if I don't go to the doctor (if I cannot) two to three hours upon waking that the doctor is full of shigoogle when he gives me a measurement at 3pm as opposed to 9am? If I had no knowledge height varied I wouldn't even know nor would I care. So what James said to you is correct you do inflate heights and likely your own. In my case I could care less about 6'4 or 6'5. I have said 6'4" and change long enough so that's what I stick with and I list myself as 6'4". Let's be honest when you are a certain height what does me "saying" I'm 6'5" gain for me that I don't get already saying I'm 6'4"? Absolutely nothing. So don't see why a morning measurement is more superior than an afternoon. If anything I'd take the average what I measure most easily and frequently for the day and what I can replicate. My philosophy is if I measure someone who says they are 6'4 and they are 6'3 3/8 or 6'3.25 afternoon that is what they are 6'3 and change not 6'4. So your argument is wrong and is weak
@Johnson: sorry but your post made no sense saying all "normal people" say their height 2-3 hours and not 6-7 hrs. Rob is the site master and most people on this site use their afternoon or evening. So what you are telling me is that if I don't go to the doctor (if I cannot) two to three hours upon waking that the doctor is full of shigoogle when he gives me a measurement at 3pm as opposed to 9am? If I had no knowledge height varied I wouldn't even know nor would I care. So what James said to you is correct you do inflate heights and likely your own. In my case I could care less about 6'4 or 6'5. I have said 6'4" and change long enough so that's what I stick with and I list myself as 6'4". Let's be honest when you are a certain height what does me "saying" I'm 6'5" gain for me that I don't get already saying I'm 6'4"? Absolutely nothing.

@Johnson: you answered your own post to me. And james I agree with as well. You do inflate heights. First off read your post about Ibra. You told me as a matter of fact that "we can't Hearn the number after the 194 so that isn't his true height and we're trying to justify why he is talllwe than 194. And it's not to make him a height it's to make pique taller. You are telling me rose is 6'2.5 when he measured 6'1.5 and people who have met him say he is 6'1. I think I know my height better than anyone else. I am 194cm flat through afternoon and 193.9 at my lowest not 194.5. So yes you are inflating.

@Thereel: at most they are the same height. The pics favor Kobe. Kobe is at most 6'5" and this is from a guy who is 6'2" saying he totally believes he's "almost 6'5". So the 195 cm is completely believable for me as I've seen what a real 198-199 in Carmelo Anthony looks like and he's 1.5" minimum taller than Kobe is

@Johnson: thanks for clarifying and I do respect you as a poster. All I was saying is melo has 5" or near on rose. At most they line up to their pre drafts.
@S.J.H: we had the same footwear. I looked. But I doubt Kobe is as Low as 6'4.5. I used to but he looks more legit a 6'5 than Jordan does to me and to most. My friend is a scout and has met both Jordan and Kobe and he's a legit 6'2" barefoot and claims his shoe height of 6'3" some days but he is honest when classing basketball players. He said Kobe looks 6'5 in person or near it Jordan looks my height according to him as does Barkley and my 6'3" friend who has met Barkley more than once standing right next to him looks exactly how I would next to him. Jordan looks tall because of his build. I'm built the same way super long legs for a guy who is truly only closer to 6'4 not 6'5 in my case and I look taller from a distance or up next to a shorter person and when I say I'm 6'4 and change it's always I thought you were 6'6. But I'm not. Kobe looks taller next to rob Harper than Jordan too imho.

@Canson reading your measurements then you are 194 cm or 194.5 cm maximum. But please don't tell me that I inflate heights when I have seen Piqué has measured barefoot 194.7-194.8 and he claims 194 and I am giving him 193.5.
I am against gut busting and I din't consider it valid. Don't make me laugh about inflating...

@Canson I said that my estimations are 2-3 hours after waking up. I stay clear with that affirmation. So when I say "this celebrity is X cm tall" I am saying it according to that philosophy.
Please read it. I don't believe Rose is 189 6-7 hours after waking up. Just read. All normal people say the height in morning in whatever medical test. Saying 6-7 hours is a freak thing!! Haha. As for me I say my evening height but that is why I never got measured early in medicals and because I hold good my height until night.

I believe carmelo is 6'6.5 in the morning and 6'6 lowest but those fractional point could be just illusion like if you're 194.0cm at night he would be like 198cm flat depending the footwear he had more on you or less or same i'm not sure but i think kobe look max 1.5" shorter than carmelo def not 1.75 or 2" like some people say. One fact is just 7 months ago when i visit NYC to my cousins apartment i met ben affleck , who get listed 6'2.5-6'2.25 here and i seriously can't see him higher than 6'1.25 in person and just a week later i'm surprise to meet john wall at a weak 6'2 whose listed 6'2.75 without shoes in draftexpress and in person wall look a strong half inch taller than affleck but still fanboys argue he is like 6'2-6'3 no way this low as a fact i've see them up close no posture issue or shoes and could easily tell their height difference like it's a little hard for others to believe stephen curry is only 6'1-6'1.25 in real. I read up a fan visit south korean meet dennis rodman in real say that he was no taller than 6'6 in person and doesn't look as heavy as he get listed (i have doubt on NBA players weight listed higher just like their height), in fact most celebrities and atheletes were under their listing all the time. A few were just 0.25-0.5 shave off listing and most of them get 1'-2' listed higher it's common nowadays just like wrestlers height often get described couple inches higher and right now many people saw 6'4-5/8th charles barkley close up photo with the rock and they still want to believe rock is 6'3-6'4 peak and described barkley as 6'7 plus guy just because they had 3 full inch different in those shots and i've to say rock is 6'2 peak and probably from the shaq and charles barkley comparison he had already down to 6'1-5/8th. As we know that kobe bryant, mj and barkley are not 6'5.5-6'6 range now but there are people will still argue they were taller and give false comments to put up their favourite celebrities here example giving others a brainwash make them think a 5'7 tom cruise being 5'8 tall and shaquille o'neal being 7'1 but not even over 7'0 and i find it a fact that kobe is taller than 6'5.25 listed peyton manning by a 1/4 or at least same height not under and a only real 6'5 taller than both of them is howard stern.

@Johnson: no disresepct but no. Now you are inflating my height. I am 195.8 out of bed and 194.9 after 1 hour. After two 194.5 but after 4 usually 194.2-.3. Anyhow rob's definition is 5-7 hrs out of bed. So I claim 194 flat as I am between 194-194.2 after 5-7. So you are the only one talking about something 2-4 hrs. Usually people consider the afternoon (lowest) or just take the pre draft measurement listed whether evening or morning. Now you see that this is a terrible way to compare when two are measured differently maybe even one fraudulently. And clearly I said he's 1.5-2" you automatically took the best case of 2" didn't consider it being inside 2". Either way you're wrong. If Melo is 199.5 that's under but Near 6'6.5. That still puts Rose as 6' 1.5 tops. Melo has him by 5". He's under his eyebrows very clearly. By your logic Melo would be 6'7+ which he only is upon waking up. Height loss by the way for me:
195.8-.9 out of bed
1 hour 194.9
2 hrs 194.5-.6
3 hrs 194.4
4 hrs 194.2-.4
5 hrs 194-194.2 depending on how active
6 hrs 194-194.1
7 hrs 194
After 7 can be 193.9-194 unless I go to the gym or am on my feet then 193.2 is my absolute low I've seen well past midnight
Anyway you slice it you are now increasing other people to make athletes taller

I said that because you said "He had close to 2 full inches on me and I'm 193.9-194 at night". So then if you are that height at night you are 194.5 or 195 2-3 hours after waking up. Then Carmelo being 4-5 cm taller than you he would be 199.5 cm.

Johnson: just like James said you and your pseudoscience bs. You come with excuses just to make someone taller. I didn't say anything about 199.5 in any of my posts. Melo is 6'6.25 tops that is what he measured in his draft so no he isn't 199.5 he's at most 198.8. I don't know when Rose measured what he did but any of at you slice it if he is 6'1.5 afternoon (I doubt he is), he'd be 6'2-6'2.25 out of bed. More likely he's at least 5" shorter than Melo is how he looks. You want Rose to be 6'2.5 just to make Griezzmann taller that is it.

@S.J.H: Melo is at minimum 6'6" nothing less and could be a full 6'6.25. I stood next to him. He had close to 2 full inches on me and I'm 193.9-194 at night. Worst case he was between 1.5-2". I wouldn't go lower than 198.12 cm maybe 6'6 1/8. Kobe in some pics looks 2" shorter but others it's 1.5". I'd say Kobe could be maybe 6'4 5/8 is possible.

It's confusing because different pictures tell different stories. Some pictures indicate he's 6'4.5 to 6'5 and others indicate he's 6'5.5 to 6'6. I posted several pictures to show what I mean. He's shorter than 6'5.5 Vujacic and 6'6.25 Morrison. He's only just barely taller than if not the same height as 6'4.75 Kareem Rush. But then he's taller than 6'5 Peyton Manning by like an inch or so and taller than Conan by like 2 inches.

@S.J.H: my guess is Kobe is at least 6'4 2/3 or probably more likely closer 6'4.75 Draymond 6'5-6'5".25. In addition to morning measurements they also inflate (you've met Wall in person as had a friend of mine who is 190.4cm (at night) 6'3 and he said he was 1-1.5" taller). Alvin gentry has said before that green is closer to 6'5 than he is 6'6 and Steve Kerr says he's 6'5" below. My guess is if draymond got measured an hour out of bed he's 6'5 1/2 or 6'5 5/8 and was rounded up and is 6'5 1/8 or 1/4 at night or even 6'5". That makes more sense as I have met Carmelo (as stated several times) and melo is at most 2" taller than I am (193.9 at night on a normal day) so my guess is that melo is 6'6.25 as he looked it. My wife and others all said about 2" one even said 1.5-2". Melo is also 1.5" or so on Kobe Bryant.

Kobe is the same height as Draymond Green who is just about 6'6. He's also at least 2 inches taller than 6'3 and 3/4 Dwayne Wade. Not to mention he's taller than 6'5 Cam Newton. I could go on and on. And by the way, Carmelo is not 6'6. He's at least 6'7 if not 6'8. He is 2 inches taller than Draymond Green. I'm pretty sure Kobe is 6'6.

Rob, it would be nice that you meet basketball players. I do not know why but I know that many myths will fall. About Bryant I'm not sure, he seems quite smaller than Dennis Rodman

Honestly most celebrities and atheletes just claim higher or get listed higher than their real height. So far i realise all celebrities always look 2-3cm mostly 2cm under their listing standing with kobe bryant.
Click Here minus off rick fox hair he only look at most 0.5' taller than kobe
Click Here minus off ron artest hair look like only 1cm taller than kobe. Artest and Fox is similar in height
Click Here 6'1.5 henry thierry overall look 4" shorter than kobe
Click Here 6'2.5 blackie chen overall look 6-7cm shorter than kobe. Kobe look to be dropping fraction or 1/4' posture leaning
Click Here Kobe look a comfortable 6'6 next to 5'11 david beckham and 5'5 jack ma
Click Here Kobe look an inch taller than 6'4.75 usain bolt minus off bolt hair. Even if bolt had slightly shoe disadvantage kobe is at least 0.75 taller
Click Here Kobe look easily 1.5' taller than 6'4 2 chainz
Click Here Kobe look a least 4.25" taller than 6'1 obama not a 3.75' difference
Click Here how can jay Z be 187cm if kobe is 195cm and this picture obviously tells a solid 4" apart
Click Here jason kidd is say to be 6'3 without shoe and look at least 7cm shorter than kobe from eye to eye and head to head
Click Here similar posture with 6'4 conan o'brien overall look 1.5' taller than conan. don't fool by conan hair look the top of their head and conan head is slightly closer to camera
Click Here 6'1 obama head closer to camera still look 4" shorter than kobe
Click Here kobe looks a head taller than 5'8 jay chou
Kobe is 195/194cm if is true height while the others just listed 2cm or 1" higher like given a morning out of bed height. I found it fine with it even it was height with an inch footwear. I've know a few friends claim their height with shoes. Just example a 5'11 friend claim 6'0. There is some people who claim up 2-3inches and get suspicious by others easily and that is the real cost of lying

@S.J.H: Kobe has also claimed 6'6" before so I don't think it's him being uncomfortable with claiming 6'5". I also saw online at his basketball camp that he claimed 6'4.5 barefoot and 6'6 in triple socks and shoes. I'm not sure that's right I'm thinking he's at least 194.6 (6'4 5/8). Maybe he got 6'4.5 after a long day of weightlifting and playing ball which is possible if he wakes to 196-197 out of bed like he does (has to be at least 196.5-.85) if he drops to 6'4 5:8 or 3/4.

@S.J.H: only problem is KROC has met Kobe and listed him as 195cm as well and KROC is 6'5-6'5.25. He said he had Kobe by cm or 1/2". My guess is it was correct and that's his lowest and the guy your talking about may be hair Lower. Other 195 guys look similar to Kobe like Vince carter and don't see Kobe 1/2" taller than Jordan

Blackie chen claim 6'3 but was measure 6'2.5 for a medical statement he show it on his variety show earlier years ago and i have see more picture blackie close up with kobe bryant and their real height difference look solid 3" that put kobe up at 6'5.5 and i was wonder if blackie is measure morning and was atually 6'2 and that would put kobe bryant 6'5 and close to rob listing here. There is always a chance a fasle measurement gone wrong like kobe was atually 6'5 but measured by his wife at 6'4.75 due to loose posture but kobe just didn't care much for the little extra height. I feel that rick fox is 0.5" taller than kobe but not 1.25 or even 0.75 so rick fox could be 6'5.5 like rob mention he before he look this tall in person and kobe a good 6'5

Agree with 184Guy. Kobe at 195cm maybe a worst case 194.5, would put Conan around 191 maybe at most 192.

For sure 6"5 but small head makes him look nearer 6"6. measurement from wife was probably a small fraction off . She would definitely need a chair to see the top of that tape.

@Thereel: yes he can give the impression but there is no way humanly possible that he is 6'6" barefoot? he was measured at 6'4 3/4 by his wife and looking at him next to Carmelo Anthony Brian Shaw Eddie Jones Vince Carter or Rick fox it's how he looks. Keep in mind a couple posters here (one of which is 6'5" himself) have met Fox and Kobe and described them as 196/197 respectively and 194/195. Rob himself met Fox too. I can believe Kobe at 195 (roughly) since that's 6'4.77 but a legit 6'6 would mean he is the same height as Carmelo Anthony just about and taller than dr J. Now I myself have met Melo and he's 198-199 barefoot. (6'6.25 pre draft) and he isn't anything above that. He's specifically a strong 198 weak 199 guy standing next to someone who is 194 at his lowest. Face it most of Hollywood lies about their height. By deduction a "6'2"" guy who is really 6'0-6'1 is going to make a guy who is 6'4.5-6'5 look 6'6".

I really though this Kobe 6'4 3/4" stuff would of ended in 2010 when that video was posted of him having VIRTUALLY five inches on 6'1" obama what's your excuse there guys camera angles again ;), i feel at this point people minds are made up so why bother say anything else, I'm out peace. Kobe is pretty much six-six though.

Kobe's noticeably shorter than Peyton Manning, so 6ft4.75 is perfect, no more, no less. If I had to pick Kobe or Barkley though, I would say Barkley is the taller one, although that's just my gut feeling, because in all the photos I see, Kobe wasn't any taller than Jordan, whereas Barkley at times, was.

Kobe was out of his prime in his mid thirtees unlike MJ who showed no sighn of slowing down at 34-35, Kobe left the league too prematurely, that's why you should complete college before getting drafted as your body will age too fast, too much wear and tear, anyway Kobe is six-four obviously that is the height he claims

Thinking of it a 6'3 the rock can really be 1.75" shorter kobe bryant? No way for 100%. I rather believe kobe is 6'6

After looking at the video from the all star game in 2003 when both were standing in front of each other in plain view Kobe does edge out Jordan by a hair. Most people who have met Kobe say he's 6'5 whereas most that meet Jordan say weak 6'5 or 6'4 and change. I'd say:
Kobe: 196.6cm out of bed/ 194.7 at night
Jordan: 196.2cm out of bed/ 194.3 at night
Barkley: same as jordan
----------------
I would have to disagree with you a bit. IMO Jordan is a legit 6ft5 or at worst 6ft4.75. And Kobe was measured at 6ft4.75 by his wife, so he can't be anymore than that, so that means he's virtually the same as Jordan. Kobe probably just had footwear advantage over him.

Animus: well said! A person who is 6'4.75 at their lowest is going to appear a full 6'5 to most unless we are talking a person who is a little over 6'5 or a little over 6'4 who is doing the judging. 1/4" difference isn't that noticeable even when looking someone in the eyes of exact because the top of the head could be the difference maker

@Mark
Virtually anyone who is only a quarter of an inch below any given height will easily pass for that height. It can be hard for people to even distinguish differences on the order of an inch.

Kobe is the exact same height as 6'4.5 Jamal Crawford. And Jamal Crawford was measured 6'4.5 at 20 years old so he was fully grown by then. But in some pictures he appears to look more like 6'5. I think he's 6'4.5-6'5 range without a doubt.

@Joe: I don't think Barkley would be that much higher than I am. At most he's Kobe's height but in pics Kobe honestly looks a little taller than he is. So if Barkley did reach 194 it wouldn't surprise me. Maybe 194.3. Kobe may be around 195 (194.945)

@Steve5: you have first hand encounters that met him on this page (more than one that put him as a weak 6'5). Wallace said below 6'4.5ish compared to a 6'5 friend and KROC who is 6'5 classed Kobe 194-195. I believe that could be anywhere from 6'4.5 up to where he was measured 6'4.75 is also possible. 6'4.5 for Kobe may be a weak measurement on a longer day. Jordan I can see as 6'4.5 though

@James: I believe Kobe is taller than me but I don't think by much. I'd say 1/4" is reasonable if I fall to 6'4 3/8 and he may fall to 6'4 5/8 at most he may have a full CM and be 195 flat. I believe he's taller than Ibra by a hair as well.

Here's what I don't get: Why do NBA players become authority on their own height but only provided that they downgrade? Durant said he's 6'7 on twitter so does that make that correct? Kobe clearly looks over 6'5, put him against any legit 6'4 on this site and he'll be an inch or more taller. Similar with Barkley, both him and Kobe could be 6'5.5. Plenty of NBA players are exaggerating but I see no evidence of Kobe being under 6'5 but people will go to the length of downgrading every single NBA player by 1-2cm just to prove Kobe is this height he was allegedly measured

LeBron is 6'7 and Carmelo is 6'6 the more photos I look at. And Kobe is at least 2 inches shorter than LeBron and at least an 1.5-2 inches shorter than Carmelo. Kobe can't be anymore than 6'5. 6'4.75 is probably about right. I even saw these measurements this guy posted on a forum that said Kobe was 6'4.75 without shoes with a 6'11 wingspan. Not to mention he's also shorter than the 6'6 Rob Gronkowski.

It's hard to see Kobe at 6'4.75 and then somebody like Derek Theler at 6'6. To me they look about the same sort of height. I completely agree with Andrea on how some guys in 6'4-6'6 range can really look noticeably bigger than others.

I will say that if one of the two were taller between he and MJ I'd say it's Kobe. By maybe 1/4".

@Joe: I wholeheartedly agree. Barkley is at worst my height where he'd see 194. I was saying teammates who have described him on TV have said he's "closer to 6'4". But I seriously doubt he falls to 193. If I had to guess he's around 194.3 at a low maybe 196.2 out of bed

@Dillon: I've met Carmelo and he is that height 6'6.25. Metta World Peace is 6'5 1/2 (out of his own mouth and Reggie Miller said Metta is between 6'5 and 6'6). I don't think Kobe is taller than Peyton or Cam. You really can't go off a pic especially one like Nick posted that favors Kobe. If anything they may all be about the same height. Peyton is shorter than JJ Watt who was measured 6'5 3/8 in the morning meaning more likely around 6'5-6'5 1/8 afternoon. I don't doubt Manning having been 196 in his prime for sure but It wouldn't surprise me with the neck surgeries that Peyton is Kobe's height now. Cam may also fall a hair below 6'5 if that was a morning measurement. I think Kobe having said both 6'4.5 (which is Crawford's height) and 6'4.75 a possibility he is in that range between the two.

The weird part is Kobe is shorter than 6'5.5 Sasha vuijic, 6'6 Rob gronkowski, 6'6.25 Wesley Johnson, 6'6.25 Carmelo Anthony, 6'6 Ron Arrest and same height as 6'4.5 Jamal Crawford. Yet he is taller than 6'5 Peyton Manning and Cam Newton. I've also seen him with several 6'4 guys and he has them by 2 inches. I'm just confused at this point. It doesn't all add up.

@Christian: I agree and Kobe is likely in that range too 194-195. According to Richard Jefferson, Carter is 6'4 1/2 (6'5 on a good day) in his biography. But I don't believe Wade's measurement. That looks like a shoe measurement esp when some people have described him as low as 6'2.5 that have met him.

I used to think Kobe might be 6'4.5 to 6'5, but looking at the pictures or him with Cam Newton and Peyton Manning, Kobe is clearly taller than both of them and they are both legit 6'5 guys.

@Christian: I couldn't see it but the one pic I saw where both stood straight he looked taller because favored the other because Cam was not standing straight. It is strange because I would've easily had Cam being taller or at worst shouldn't be a difference between them that we could see (1/4 or even the same).Wish there were better pics of the two.
