Kobe looked easily an inch taller than weak 6ft5 Cam Newton at the Nickelodeon Kid's Choice awards. And both had similar footwear, plus no camera angle advantage. Sometimes he can look a legit 6ft6, as strange as it is.

@S.J.H: he does edge out most of the weaker 6'5s. And a lot of people underestimate a near 195cm guy in person. TBH I can even see Kobe being middle of the 194 range at night 194.5 or so. That still looks 6'5 to a lot of people esp if he's in sneakers

@Bobby: thanks! Add to that the slew of 6'3 and 6'4 claiming 6'5 lol. or strong or even legit 6'4s that measure earlier in the day (we are the former with us falling below the 6'4.5 mark but over 6'4 flat at night.

When i think of over 90% of 6'5 actors were weak 6'5 down to 6'4 in person then i think kobe bryant is easily 6'5 in a mid day and that 6'4-3/4 could be measure at night.

@184guy: exactly. I have Kobe and MJ as the same as Joe. Point I'm making is 6'4 5/8 and 3/4 and 1/2 are all between 194 and 195. So saying either for Joe M or Kobe aren't unreasonable estimates.

Saying that he looks 194 in the pic doesn't mean that he IS. When i say the minimum he could be of 6'4 5/8 is the very worst case.I say he is 195 because he looks a legit example of a 6'4.75 guy.AT VERY WORST 1/8in below.In the photo with Rob he looks 6'4.5-6'4.75 with a 1/4 inch of advantage.But in GENERAL HE LOOKS 195
You want a draw to understand it ? I think i was very specific now and don't give space to your bologna

And I'm the troll???? You went from emphatically saying Joe was 195CM nothing below. Well "He Canson can look 194 CM with Rob. Well Look at my pics. Well Rob, with a 6'5 guy. Now he;s 6'4 5/8.

Do not take Canson serious guys.He obviously has a problem trying to guess guys around 6'5
Just take a look at his comments at Joe,Kobe and MJ.
Manganiello is easily 195 as I had already post some proofs and Rob has said that he is in the 195-195,5cm range and this troll insistis to put him as low as 6'4.25
Kobe is a legit 196.He is pretty similar to Peyton and had about 3-4 cms on a legit 6'3.75 Pique
But I agree with him in one point.Dwayne Wade isn't 6'3.75,more like 6'3.25 or even 6'3

At times Kobe he can look a legit 6'6", and others he can look barely over 6'4". Whether you see him as 6'6", 6'5", 6'4.75", 6'4.5", or 6'4", it's not as if anyone claimed him to be 5'10", so any one of those above 5 heights is rational.

@175cm: I agree with you and you are absolutely right that it is guessing and is opinion and that it should get like this. I didn't help the situation but it's because I'm a no nonsense type person and just don't like lying stupidity and inflation. As far as I'm concerned 6'4.75 (194.945 cm) or 1/2 (194.3) are both between 194 and 195 so don't see why the argument is continuing. And The estimate is based on what the man out of his mouth said and I keep hearing "well so and so is this height so Kobe is or must be this."

@James: there you go upgrading people now. Pique is listed 6'3 in places and 192 in others. Your argument before was he was 192 now you've switched. Kobe is listed as 198 cm as well and he isn't barefoot. So what is your argument here?

Now James love it how you conveniently left out the remainder of the quote where i said around 6'4.5 like Barkley for the "194" that you are so obsessed with. Since you have such senility and selective memory why don't you scroll all the way down to June 27th and find it. To my knowledge (oh and I am an avg 6'4.5 guy) that is 194.3 cm. that's over a flat 194 but under 195 right? So what is your argument here? Who are you trying to convince?

@James: I understand what you said that he looks 196 in pics. I'm going off what he said both 6'4.5 and 6'4.75. And no don't say he can't be any less than 195 because you don't know. Any legit 195 guy can easily dip under 195. If he did it wouldn't even be noticeable to any of us.

Well James I clarified it enough times. and said between 194 and 195. I mean if you want to get technical about it that's fine but 194 can mean 194 or 194.9 or if someone is rounding could mean 194.5+. You're going off what you see which is fine, but someone else who met him in person also said he's also between 194-195 (I think I mentioned that below enough times). And just to break it down because you don't seem very good at converting that is between 6'4.5-.75 both of which are heights Kobe Bryant, the man, has claimed himself. That could mean either of the two or right in between. At the end of the day, if you are 6'4.77 (195) you could easily get down another 1/8" or so. 6'4.5 and .75 are practically unnoticeable. Oh and not to mention another poster said he's a strong 6'4 as well. So if someone is between 194 and 195 that means they are in the 194 range. Somewhere in the range perhaps near 195, but are still under 195. So yes that's 194 if you can do the math. Interpret it however you want to but I am done explaining this. You want to continue to pout like a baby, and exaggerate stuff ("I can't believe Canson said 194" repeatedly and you can't let it go and wasn't what I meant, like you are trying to persuade me that Kobe is a height he said he wasn't then go ahead and do it. Was he that good to you? Funny when someone doesn't agree with you or see it your way you belittle. Remember this is opinion based and you were the one who attacked me not vice versa.

@Alex: probably more like 194 barefoot and 197+ in shoes."
In this older comment, Mr. Canson doesn't say that Kobe is "194-195 cm range" or even "194.2 or 194.3". Mr. Canson only says Kobe is 194 cm barefoot. Therefore a fast reading made me understand he was saying that Kobe is in fact "only" 194 cm. That was a pretty normal confusion, nobody is perfect.
"Canson said on 23/Jul/16
@Height: Thank You!!!!! Yep That's exactly what I said too! I believe he's over the flat 194 but under 195. i don't see Kobe or MJ (in their primes) below 194.3 or over 195 is what I was really saying"
On this recent comment, Mr. Canson has even proposed that 194.3 cm could be Kobe's real height.
Now, let's approach empirically the 194-195 cm theory:
Piqué is officially listed as 193 cm:
Click Here
Compare Piqué to 191 cm officially listed Kiko Casilla:
Click Here
Click Here
Click Here
Piqué is 192 cm.
The French Thierry Henry is officialy listed as 188 cm.
Click Here
Henry next to 185-186 cm range Cristiano Ronaldo
Click Here
Henry next to 189 cm officially listed Adriano Leite "the Emperor":
Click Here
Henry next to 185 cm officially listed (184 cm real height) Zinedine Zidane:
Click Here
As you can see Henry is a solid 188 cm. But even if he is 187 cm, he still looks 9 cm shorter than Kobe in this pic:
Click Here
In other words, Kobe LOOKS 196 cm next to both Piqué and Henry. He can be 195 cm for sure, but probably no less. And 100% sure he is no less than 194.5 cm.
Anyway, Mr. Canson's approach is non-empirical. He makes a lot of estimations completely a priori, not based on any kind of empirical evidence (photos). I don't like the "philosophical" approach of Mr. Canson. Don't get me wrong, I love philosophy. But when it comes to the height issue is better an empirical approach (based on pictures).

@Height: never saw this pic but it's interesting. Don't know if angle is compromised (or Kobe has a significant footwear advantage). I wondered because at times he looked taller than Manning and at others the same. I'd have figured he Barkley and Jordan were all the same and that they'd look the Same on tv since the cm isn't easy to spot same with he and Manning. But it also may just be what people have said about Barkley not being as tall as advertised 6'6. But If Kobe is really taller he is at least 195 range.

We all won't agree on everything but you do it the right way and very professionally and very logically. it is good to have someone like you here that argues points "and strong points at that" very fairly objectively and accordingly and not putting words in people's mouths and don't look at one word in a post and automatically jump at someone because it is out of agreement with what they feel. Keep posting and I agree with everything 175 said because it is true. You are great to have here!

@Johnson: Kobe claimed 6'4 and a half and three quarters both and two guys on this site have seen him. One said strong 6'4 (Brad). Brad is around 6'6. Another is KROC who is 6'5 196cm flat as he has described himself. He has said before Kobe is between 194-195 and that he is taller than Kobe. So I respect your opinion but No way Kobe is over 195 cm range. keep in mind that Pique is listed as 192 cm and nowhere is he listed 193. In some places he's listed as 6'3". I'd say he's at most and absolute most 192cm if that's what he's listed.

So I respect your opinion but No way Kobe is over 195 cm range

Well with no official measurement for Thierry I reckon he could be 6'1 or 6'2
Click Here. I believe in the morning he'd easily be 6'2 but based on the below he is listed 6'1

@Height: the pic wasn't that bad really. Thats similar to how they looked on television at the awards. At times Kobe appeared taller and at times Manning did other times they were the same. Hard to say who's taller bUt they look within 1/2" of each other any way you shake it. Most of your pics have objectivity for the most part. I know there's no such thing as a perfect picture especially on Celebheights, but you put a good effort in on each post and it shows you are objective and you see clear indicators for the differences

@James: ok. Since you insist. We can't see their shoes between Kobe and Pique. 175cm made a good point below. Since you want to use the old "we don't know if Kobe's wife measured him at night" adage then I'll use that. Fact is the poor pics you post are adequate when you want to make someone taller than they are. But when showing they look as listed they aren't any good. And oh btw Rob has him pegged at 6'4.75 195cm above so yes you are upgrading him. At least I said he looks 194-195 (between 6'4.5 and 6'4.75). In the grand scheme of things there is no "negligible" or "visible" difference between a 6'4.5 and 6'4.75 guy unless you use the garbage you continue to post that clearly is biased and favors someone else. Which appears to be the trend here on this site for a lot of people trying to make someone taller

Canson's theory is that Kobe is between 194 cm - 195 cm at his lowest, not a flat 194 cm.

@James: if you believe Kobe is 196 that is fine with me. But my opinion is and I will put it in caps so that you can comprehend it this time HE IS BETWEEN 194-195. THAT MEANS HE IS OVER 194 and prob a bit shy of 195. Would he measure over 6'5 at some point during the day? Indeed he would. I do as well when I wake up. He probably would measure 6'4.75 for most of the day and maybe see 6'4 1/2 or 5/8 in the afternoon or evening which is the norm for most guys who claim 6'5. They don't always measure it legit

@175cm: I will say this and very very sincerely that Height at least puts effort and proof in to his posts and he is logical and methodical in his approach and he makes superb points unlike James and 184guy both. But I wholeheartedly agree with you that none of the pics anyone here across this site posts are very good pics. I honestly believe Kobe is over 194 but under or at 195 tops which is what he has claimed before. In my case being a guy who is a solid 194 at night time I have been guessed 6'5 in my life just as often or more than 6'4. And add to that I have long legs and broad shoulders so I automatically look taller than I am and with MJ and Kobe both long legs as well same with Barkley

No James I am not a troll. I think you tho have a learning disability of some sort or a reading comprehension problem of some sort because you obviously can't retain what you read or see and to add to it I honestly believe you have a crush on both Jordan and Kobe since you like to make them taller than they are. What do you wish that they were in you or something? Jesus.

@James: this is becoming very repetitive. Where did I say Kobe is flat 194cm? Point to a reference where I said he is. Please. I said for the umpteenth time between 194-195. Stop putting words in my mouth. And again I will say that you are comparing a listed height of another athlete to Kobe. I don't know how tall Thiery is and don't know when he was measured. Ok if you want to use morning height Kobe is easy 196 we all know that. But he claimed both 6'4 1/2 and 3/4 because he measured in the afternoon and no on the court he doesn't look 196 with anyone. He looks 195 in many cases like Height said as well but being a bit shy of 195 isn't far fetched and in fact it's hardly noticeable.

Even if Kobe has a little shoes advantange, he still looks a solid 196 cm next to Piqué. There is no empirical evidence (photos) of Kobe being 194 cm.

@ Canson I'm not influenced and I don't have an agenda on upgrading or downgrading. I'm just trying to be LOGICAL on the evidence I have seen since, and based on that MJ and Kobe don't look any shorter than a full 195 cm - 195.5 cm at night. I think you are too judgmental on theories/ideas that differ from yours (for example categorizing my past ideas as better). I think I have never judged your ideas, but opted to disagree and explain why I disagree. I do the same with everyone else here.
The video with Peyton Manning shows Kobe as virtually the same height, that's another piece of evidence for example.

@175cm: I can't see Kobe being that short based on ppl who have met him and MJ both. I'd say he's at minimum 6'4.5 at his lowest and somewhere between 6'4.5-.75 (194-195) regular height. Similar for MJ

@Canson Go to Ibrahimovic section. Below in the comments there is a link to the youtube clip where we can see 194.7 194.8 cm (big screen required to see the figures). In the Soccer section there is a good pic of Piqué and Rio Ferdinand and Piqué is taller than him. About Ibra and Piqué we don't have very good pics only 2 not very clear and can fool us. My opinion: Ibrahimovic 195, Piqué 193.4 Kobe 196.4

@Vegas: I thought Kobe said he's 6'5 in sneaks. If he did say 6'4 it's a lie def. he's over 6'5 in sneaks easy but may be under 6'6 but him being 6'5.5-6'6 in sneaks is feasible maybe just rounded down.

@Height: I honestly can't tell a difference between 1.49cm and 1.6 or 1.7 and doubt anyone can TBH. I agree Kobe is prob inside of 194 between 194-195. As for Pique that 194.7 on the stadio meter I have looked everywhere and don't see any reference to it. I think someone made that up as they do a lot of other stuff to make people taller. I haven't seen him as 193 either only 192. And knowing how newer athletes (in recent years def) are measured in the morning he likely is 191. That's the thing yea you haven't heard anyone refer to him (outside ESPN deportes) because he didn't measure that. None of these heights are lows for the most. They're highs or morning and that's why people don't think objectively. Some of the heights years back were afternoon measurements however like the Melos the Bogans's the Hinrichs you know guys from 2003 all look it. So when I make my points I'm basically saying because someone who was measured 192 in the morning you can't legally compare them to someone else (claiming 194-195 like Kobe has) and say that he is 196 because Pique is 192. It doesn't work that way. Also go look at what KROC said about Kobe on Mangianellos page (Kobe is between 194-195 which he has said many many times and that he can look 6'4 flat in person). So what I am saying has merit it's just that evreyone here inflates heights which I don't do. Also Height in the beginning seeing older posts from you you had Jordan at 194.3-195. It seems like the others who have said 196 have influenced you to change it. It's all a guess but You had better points before with where you were honestly based on points

@Canson the point is not Pique's height, I don't consider it gospel, but a 191 cm theory for him is unheard of. He is often referred to as 193 cm and sometimes 194 cm, so 192 cm at his lowest sounds reasonable, especially because he looks a legit 10/11 cm taller than 182 cm - 183 cm guys.
The point is that Kobe consistently looks 4 cm - 5 cm taller than him when they were together, and that his lowest is at or inside 195 cm
That height still maintains about a 3.8 cm difference with Melo (1.49")

@184guy: no I didn't say that. Wtf are you putting words in my mouth? I didn't say anywhere here Kobe is only 194 nor did I say that Wade is 187. I clearly said I think he's 190 and Kobe 194-195. Don't know how many times I said it. But don't get angry at me. You started this and it's because I don't agree with you that's all. And Why don't you go learn to comprehend what you read before you make comments like that. And Melo (who I have met is 6'6.25 as listed) That is 198.8 cm. I just clearly said he's at least around 1.5" taller than Kobe. It doesn't take too may pics with them together to tell that. And no Carmelo isn't taller than he is listed if that's the route you were planning on taking. They wouldn't underlist an already by many standards short small forward. Are you telling me it's less than that? I'd put Kobe between 194-195 like I've said over and over and like KROC who has met Kobe said. Get your s**t straight.That's between 6'4.5-.75. And btw any time anyone else has posted the exact same pic it has been a good pic. It's not for me just because everyone here comes in wanting their idol to be taller than they are. For God sakes are you attacking me over a cm? I said 194-195. 195.58 is 6'5 so yes we are really arguing childishly over it.

And no do not give me a story about Kobe downplaying himself or being measured at night like all the other fanboys such as James have done. It's always an excuse like that just because others like Pique (who likely got his 192 in the morning) aren't as tall as they claim. KROC 196cm flat himself noticed an advantage on Kobe and called it so it's now more than one person just on this page.

Wade was an inch taller than Zach Levi on video backstage on tonight show and rob has been photographed with levi so no wade isn't 6'2 range.
Paul is on video with kimmel and looks every bit his stated measured height
Arguing measured height is usually a complete waste of time..btw soccer listings are hit and miss across the board. We all remember the glasgow Celtic player listed 5'8 by his former club and rob caught him fir a full length photo and he turned out to be 6'2.
Btw on topic it looks like Kobe was telling a bit if white lie when he claimed to stand 6'4 in sneaks..

Again. Kobe is at least 1.5" shorter than Carmelo so explain to me how he is 6'5 1/4. He's at most 195 like KROC said before. There are angles where Manning has him as well. A 1/2" is not easy to detect unless they are in full view right next to each other or back to back. End of the day Peyton 196 Kobe 195. Period

@James: the pics u posted comparing him to Wade are beyond atrocious. I apologize. Not to mention one of them they are extremely close nowhere near 4cm. And Wade doesn't look anywhere near 192. Paul is said to be 5'11.75 by pre draft standards and two people who met him (one is 5'11 on his page) have said he's 5'10. Don't know if he got a shoe measurement moved over like Wade likely did. But We'll split it for the sake of it and call him 5'11 because he can look taller than Iverson imho. But Wade doesn't have 4" on him. Wade isn't anything over 6'3 tops and that's a gift (191) and the posts I've seen in other places outside of here have merit now. He may be under 6'3" flat and only 190. (if you see other places here two or three people have said that have met him he's under 6'3. Nobody who has met him has said he's near 6'4.) he's nowhere near 6'4 with Melo. Melo has 8 good cm on him maybe even 9 in these pics. Wade can look as small as 6'2.5 with him in some

@Height: please show me "a valid reference" legitimately where Pique was measured 194.7 cm. I don't think there really is one. I think it was said somewhere on this site by someone else and is being used by everyone as gospel now just as a lot of other quotes and nuggets of info that usually favor someone being taller. Every place I've seen he's listed 192 and I am willing to bet any amount of money that this is his morning measurement. Meaning he'd likely be at absolute absolute most, a solid 6'4 out of bed and 6'3-6'3.25 (191) at night like I mentioned before. ESPN lists pique as 6'3 not 6'4. If he "truly" measured over 6'4.5 194.7 is 6'4.6+, then he'd prob be listed as 6'5 but no less than 6'4. I suspect that this "mysterious" 194.7 was a shoe measurement or was something that was made up and that he really measured 192 which I can easily see in the morning. Now if he measured the 192 then he measured it but it is likely that Kobe's measurement was at a different time so the comparison is not valid. If anything the afternoon or lower height should be the one considered when "comparing" two people unless they measure and claim the same time

Do not take Canson serious guys.He obviously has a problem trying to guess guys around 6'5
Just take a look at his comments at Joe,Kobe and MJ.
Manganiello is easily 195 as I had already post some proofs and Rob has said that he is in the 195-195,5cm range and this troll insistis to put him as low as 6'4.25
Kobe is a legit 196.He is pretty similar to Peyton and had about 3-4 cms on a legit 6'3.75 Pique
But I agree with him in one point.Dwayne Wade isn't 6'3.75,more like 6'3.25 or even 6'3

@James: With Carmelo Anthony. That is more than an inch it's at least 1.5" and no Melo is not taller than his listed pre draft height 6'6.25 in case that was getting ready to be said. I've met him. It's verifiable in other pics with guys like Kyle Korver and Paul Pierce. And no, shoes aren't in an issue. Kobe has almost the same diff with Melo that I had when I met him. If anything maybe an unnoticeable diff like maybe 1/4" which I'll give him which would put Kobe in the high 194 range (194.6-.7) which is close enough to call him almost 195. He isn't over that.

@Canson
I would regard ESPN as generalists on heights and not the best of sources, if ESPN counts more than comparisons, then Kobe is the 6'6" listed there and Wade is the 6'4" listed there. Truth is they don't include heights with precision like in here with .25, .50, .75 for example. So if someone is 192 cm, they could either list him or her at 6'3" or 6'4".
I posted a video where Pique has a clear 10 cm/ 11 cm on 182 cm - 183cm measured Ivan Rakitic. He is often referred to as a solid 192 cm guy because he measured 194.7 cm in the morning or afternoon. It is logical that he drops max to 192 cm.
@BIGgame he looks taller on certain angles while they are both slightly moving, and on others he looks the same. So My guess is that, if there is a difference between them, they are within 1cm max of each other. I'm not a follower of Manning, so I only know he is not considered any lower than 196 cm.

@James: I respect your opinion I really do. And you are thinking logically. But you keep doing the same repetitive thing. Using someone else's height for reference. ok. We do know that most athletes are measured in the morning? Right? They do. I have seen Pique as 6'3 on ESPN. That counts more than someone who is "supposedly" 191 and you comparing Pique to him. Time of day is the standard and should be but few here think of that. I think it's well beyond known that these measurements occur in the morning. But if you can find the time where Pique measured 192, please do. I will bet and guarantee that isn't his lowest. everyone here is going off claims or what someone "appears" to be when in reality you can't tell. I am 194cm myself and have a friend who is 191. The latter is built like I am and he is honest but at times people say you two are about the same height and sometimes if Footwear is diff then he can look as tall as me almost. Oh and basketball shoes are higher than soccer cleats.
So if Pique measured it in the morning at 192 which he likely did and I don't doubt it, then at the end of the day he wouldn't be. If he received a 192 measurement then he likely wakes to 193. That's common sense. And he is likely 191 at the end of the day. I have no doubts that Kobe would be over 6'5" in the morning so not arguing there. He likely if Pique measured 192 would be mid 196 out of bed and drop to mid to high 194 which is what I have said many times. However if the man himself claimed 6'4.5/6'4.75 why are we all of a sudden inflating him and undermining his claim just to make others taller? That is what you are doing. so who are we to argue. Height varies throughout the day. That is all I am saying and if Kobe measured and desires to claim his afternoon height then there is nothing wrong with that. You do see above Rob has him at 6'4.75 right? I don't simply inflate people to boost someone else or to "fall in line with people." That's what others here do. Kobe knows himself better than anyone else and if that is what he measured "and claims" then that's what he is. Not to mention we have a reliable enough claim from a 6'5 guy (KROC) here on this site to say he edged him out and enough other people that also say 194-195. Let's agree to disagree if this is the case but I will clarify again 194 flat is 6'4 3/8 (which I measure at the end of the day). I doubt Kobe is that low. My guess would be that he's around 194.4-195 That's 6'4.5-.75. I think that is close enough to be honest and nobody could tell a difference unless standing right in front of him (KROC and Brad both have said he's a strong 6'4 to weak 6'5").

@James: number one, get your facts straight and do not put words in my mouth. I have never said here on this site that Kobe Bryant is 194 flat. Never. So cut the crap and stop exaggerating my claim because I don't agree with you. That's exactly what you are doing. Clearly I said he's between 194-195. Please James. Find me a place where I said he's 194 flat. Oh you can't can you?
Number two quit telling me so and so is this height or that height. That is what a lot of people on this site do and mysteriously it is always a claimed height of someone else being bounced against the other. And always one person (example Wade who is 191 not 192) is used and it's Oh Kobe can't be just 195 because Wade is 192. Doesn't work that way. Wade from pics and LeBron's mouth is 6'3 tops. I have seen many people who are 6'2 all over the Internet say Wade is their height. KROC described him as 190 when he met him. And Never does he look almost 6'4. I will take the word of KROC who has met Wade and Kobe both and put them right where I have them. KROC at 196 cm flat, James, said Kobe is 194-195 (195 tops) that obviously implies to me that he saw a difference in height with him. Jim on MJ's page described MJ as 6'4.5-6'4.75 (don't know what time Jim measured himself). Also how many times has Kobe said "I'm 6'4 1/2 and 6'4 3/4" which oh coincedentally comes out to 194-195? I'm going off what he has claimed and what everyone else who has seen him in person has said James. Jordan has never been a flat 6'5. His peers have even called him 6'4 range but nope let's not take their word. Let's continue to inflate other people and make MJ taller.
And it doesn't matter if they are because two 194-195 cm guys are both sure fit first ballot hall of famers and two of the best to lace up and prob number 1 and 2 at that position. Their height means nothing. Oh and when was Pique measured at 193 cm (height said 194.7 but he was 193 according to the Internet) on the stadiometer? If it was in the morning which it likely was, he's 191 then not 192 or 193. So yes if Kobe is 4cm taller which he likely is or about 4. I know people who have seen and met jordan and have seen pics of 6'2 and 6'3 guys next to Jordan (who you call the same height as Kobe) and they aren't 2 and 3" shorter. They are maybe 1.5 and 2.5. I don't get how people close in height with these guys can call them 6'4-6'5 if they were in reality truly 6'5" at their lowest. That implies that they aren't. Keep in mind both wear sneaks most of the time so they'd always look 6'5 or more to the public always and wouldn't be called 6'4 by 1/2 of the general population and other half 6'5". What you don't understand and most don't is that I am a legit 194 cm guy myself. Friends who have met MJ said he's about as tall as I am. Of course he could be closer to 195 but I doubt a full 6'5 if more than one person has described a guy with egregiously long legs as 6'4 to 6'5 and are close in height with him.

It seems Kobe looked taller than Manning at the ESPYS. There was only one photo in which Manning looked taller and he had obvious camera advantage. Kobe is at least Manning's height.

I don't agree that Pique is shorter than 192 cm Canson. He was measured with a stadiometer at 194.7 cm (morning most probably) and has a clear 10cm, if not 11 cm, on 182-183 cm Ivan Rakitic: Click Here
His absolute lowest is a solid 192 cm.

@Canson
Pictures where you can't see players feet/stance or where one of the players is closer to the camera are not good for comparing height with precision. Perhaps they are good for giving a general idea, but are not good for comparing with precision.

@Jake: I already said I haven't met those guys he mentioned. But do me a favor since you are so demonstrative. Why don't you enlighten us all with a picture of a 6'5.75 Lebron and explain how he slept in the gym where they were measured. Otherwise you have cause for suspicion. This site is subjective as we all know and we all just give our opinions and mine come from people who have met them and I've provided pics for my comparisons. So why don't you do the same or shut the eff up

@Height: the definition you have for "strong" 6'4" is incorrect. If that's his lowest, he'd be 6'5 at worst a weak 6'5. (Typically give people the full number if they're within 1/4"). My suspicion is Kobe is below 195 flat at his lowest. A strong 6'4 is what I am 6'4 3/8 194 cm at my lowest. 194.3-195 is weak 6'5. I do agree tho that MJ and he are the same height virtually. What I was saying is if one is taller than the other it'd likely be Kobe. I wasn't saying he def is. And I say it because Kobe looks the exact same as Carter while Carter is taller than Jordan by a hair. I'm beginning to think Carter is around 195 and the other two are 194.3-194.6 at their lowest
@Height: the definition you have for "strong" 6'4" is incorrect. If that's his lowest, he'd be 6'5 at worst a weak 6'5. (Typically give people the full number if they're within 1/4"). My suspicion is Kobe is below 195 flat at his lowest. A strong 6'4 is what I am 6'4 3/8 194 cm at my lowest. 194.3-195 is weak 6'5. I do agree tho that MJ and he are the same height virtually.

@RP: I noticed that too. Manning looks to be around 196 cm flat (in the papa john's commercials JJ Watt edges him out).
@Height: I agree with you but this is all subjective, all of us are. We all have our viewpoints and we are both pretty close in our estimates 6'4.5 vs 6'4.75 which isn't really noticeable. We really can't see a diff unless someone is a cm or more unless you look strictly at eye level. But 195 at Kobe's lowest is possible I agree, but I honestly think he drops to around 194.3-195 range. One thing to take into account is if his wife measured him at home at that height, we don't know what time of day or whether he was lounging around. I've done the experiment myself, if I lounge around and don't leave the house or lay down most of the day I don't get down as low either. I use KROC as reference as he said 194-195 which implies to me 6'4 1/2-5/8 from a guy who is a solid 6'5 maybe 6'5 1/8 himself. If I had to guess Kobe's as low as 6'4.5 but as high as 6'4.75 at his lowest so I'll split the diff and call him 6'4 5/8ish. I say what I say because I'm similar in height to these guys (he MJ and Barkley) and often get class'd 6'5" when I'm under 6'4 1/2 in reality. People round up so much.
But I will say as I know legit 195 people who are never guessed as 6'4 they always get 6'5. even someone like me who is an average 6'4.5 guy when I take into account my lowest of 6'4 3/8 then look at someone in a mirror. If that person is 3/8" taller I would not be able to tell if they are 3/8 or 1/2" just by looking at them and I'd class them as 6'5 myself. But another thing we all have to look at. Some of these guys we use for comparison in the NBA are self claiming their heights and even in later years the pre drafts while most are "at the time they measure in the morning" not all are correct. I see a lot of people using the pre drafts for reference but unless u compare two people in the same draft class that are verifiably measured at a certain time or same time the comparison is no good. For example if one person was measured in 04 (let's say Iggy) and one in 2010 (let's say Steph curry) Iggy will look closer to his height because we know for a fact that in 2009 that all measurements were morning going forward. My estimate for Iggy is in line with yours I'd say he's the same height as Draymond or maybe 1/4" taller. I suspect in other years that was the case as well but it's on record for 2009 and beyond.

Canson, claiming that he is taller than MJ is simply speculating and being subjective. The difference between both is so little (maybe 2/3 mm or maybe no difference at all) that both should be considered the same. Both have similar body types (with Jordan having an edge in wingspan and hand size) and are virtual clones.
The evidence (next to Kaka, Pique, Djedovic) points out that Kobe is no lower than this listing 195 cm (precisely 6'4.752" /"strong 6'4") and perhaps even 0.5 cm taller (a hair under 6'5"), but I'm going to keep that half cm to myself and say he is 195 cm at his lowest.

Don't know how MJ is 197 cm. Rodman has nearly 2" on him as does Phil Jackson. Don't think if Reggie Miller is 198cm himself that he'd call someone 0.5" shorter between 6'4-6'5. It's more likely Pique is only 191 and Kobe is 195

@James: you actually make valid points as well. Some pics are good. But enough people (in the NBA) have described MJ and Kobe between 6'4 and 6'5. I agree both aren't flat 6'4s and both likely over 6'5 when they wake. Kobe if anything would be the closest to 195 (194.8-.9) and MJ 194.5ish at least in my opinion subjectively. If someone is 195 at their lowest (6'4.77) and in higher shoes, they'd almost never be classified as 6'4. Be always 6'5 esp when people inflate heights the way they do

Some of the pictures you have used to compare aren't useful for comparing since you can't see the stance or feet, especially the ones with MJ.
I used this one to compare them, MJ has a slightly wider stance than Kobe (making him shorter). So I'd say the are virtually the same height (or MJ is a hair taller):

In pics with Metta World Peace (6'5 1/2 out of his own mouth more likely 6'5.25-.5) and Rick Fox (6'5.5) Kobe looks 3/4"-1" shorter. I wouldn't put him above where Rob has him at the 6'4.75. He looks similar to Vince Carter as well (6'4.5-6'5 range too). If anything maybe he edges Jordan by 1/8-1/4"

Honestly he does appear to be more than his 195 claim. A lot of other people that are celebrities in that range doesn't appear as tall as he does. Maybe 196 would fit better.

I could see one as 6'4.75-.8 (maybe Kobe as he looks almost identical with Carter) and the other as maybe 6'4.5-.6 these are there lowest of course). Jordan can look maybe a whisker shorter than Carter

Rob, this page needs your attention more. As linked in my previous message on here, throughout the site and elsewhere on the web as well as in person, to firmly establish that Kobe is at the very minimum 6ft 5 or 6ft 5.25 up to 6ft 5.5. Again, as it must be stated, Kobe has very bad posture. Far worse than the average NBA player or someone of his stature. When he stands up straight (which does not happen often and may not have happened when his wife measured him) he is shown to be taller than Jordan (this is one example). This can be seen in innumerable YouTube videos of their match ups in the 90s and beyond (1998, for a salient example). Again, Kobe has been shown to be over an inch taller than strong 6'4 individuals. Multiple google image searches of Kobe and Bill O'reilly will show you this. Again Rob, this needs your attention.

@Joao:absolutely right he doesn't look much taller and isn't. Draymond got a morning measurement. He likely is more like 6'5.25. I see guys on his team Iggy (legit 6'5.75) Iggy can look a solid 6'6 at times to be completely honest and Livingston 6'6'.25 edge him out. I'd say green would prob avg 6'5 3/8-6'5.5 for the day and drop to 6'5 1/8-.25 once the half inch is lost. In some pics tho he is taller than kobe

Similar stance and body position (kind of mirroring each other), although MJ has a slightly wider stance, giving Kobe a slight advantage in height:

They look the same.
If there is a difference between them, Jordan has it (since his stance is a tad wider), and it isn't more than 0.5 cm

I've always understood your points and you make great ones by the way, and agree that all of this many times is opinion based. I upgrade or downgrade depending on my experience of watching these guys together on video and pictures. at the end of the day I think most people here are Basketball enthusiasts.

That picture is not a good one, since you can´t see their feet and stance.
Can't you see the obvious pattern there? 3 cms knockoff NBA listed heights. Chris Mullin 3 cm taller than MJ? 1cm perhaps if you happen to have watched both of them during their careers. Although some of the alleged Barcelona measurements may be a match, all of them are still a 3 cm knockoff, just like in many of the other olympic tournaments (like atlanta 96 and sydney 2000)

@James: I respect your opinion but seeing your posts you tend to upgrade the majority of the people that I've seen you comment on, just like you claim I don't know what I'm talking about. And saying what if his wife measured him at night? I highly doubt it but So what. Who the hell cares? If we give credence to a "bogus" "inflated" out of bed measurement why is that no good? That's the problem with the mentality here is to "slob" on someone just because they're Kobe Bryant or MJ etc instead of being objective. They have to be a certain height because they're them. Common knowledge is that 1.5" is added. Either way how can you tell a difference between 194.3 cm and 194.9? That's 1/4". I sure can't and I am 6'4.5 myself (194.3 avg) even if I am right in front of someone. Even then I have 6'5 friends who are sometimes close in height with me or can appear the same or even a lot taller depending on footwear or if one is on the feet longer etc

@Height: as for the 194/195 thing you mentioned. Two of the primary people Thst met Jordan and Barkley both are 6'2 and 6'3. One of them the 6'3 guy says they're 6'4-6'5 the other the 6'2 guy said Jordan is "my height" and when he met Barkley he said Charles looked 6'4 to him. Another friend met Kobe who is 6'1. He said Kobe looked 6'4 1/2 as well. Of course none of these is 100% accurate but then again one thing nobody here takes into account. And I mean nobody does. What if person A measured 6'4 an hour to two out of bed. He could be 6'3 1/2 or 5/8 at his mid or late afternoon height, Person B may have measured 6'4 3/8-1/2 at their afternoon height). So yes person B will be nearly an inch taller. I have to give more credence to the afternoon measurer especially because an hour out of bed you are still under the "laying height". So when I say these things I'm using common sense. But you are more than right in that I have not met Kobe Jordan Barkley or Carter up close. Now Barkley I did (didn't say this earlier) see once but from a distance same as DR J and of course if we are close in height I can't tell unless I'm in front of him

@Height: I understand what you are saying and I don't take any offense at all. We are all debating (in good fun) and It is a good question. Unfortunately, I do not have any that I can upload with NBA players. Many were Long in the past (when I played in HS and college for a few yrs) and not on a phone. I met Melo in the last few months but unfortunately didn't get a pic with him. I am honest in saying he looked as listed 6'6.25 looked adequate enough. Definitely not under a flat 6'6 at his lowest. He had me by 1.5-2". Looked a very weak 2" to where it could've been 1.5 but he isn't anything under 6'6. That I know. It wasn't professional to take a pic in a restaurant in that area but I did stand right in front of him to talk to him (I actually met him years ago but he was in high school as he is a few years younger than me). I do have some with FB players however and a hockey player. But as for NBA ball players I've met Muggsy (he was very short). Caron butler (looks as listed, definitely isn't under 6'5 not over 6'5.5) he was slightly taller than me, with Keith Bogans (we are very close in height- as listed). (played against him), Harvey (6'8.5ish). I also saw Dr J but was not directly in front of him was from a distance so couldn't get a read on his height. I've also met a few others like Larry Johnson (when I was in college years ago and he was at the end of his career with New York). LJ Wasn't much taller than me and was "similar" to Butler. Both Are easy 6'5-6'5.25 likely. Brown is 6'10 (of course it's hard to tell with him because he towered me). Jason Maxiell 6'4-6'5. He didn't look any taller than I am and is listed 6'7 lol. Maybe he had me by a cm and couldn't tell. TJ ford (was under 6'0 is all I can say prob 5'10). Kirk Hinrich is 6'2, Scott Padgett looked 6'8/6'9. Devin Ebanks looked 6'6 1/2-6'7. Some of the other guys that play today I played against over the years as well.
However you are correct. I've never met those 4 you mention but I do trust the eyes and words and knowledge of their teammates over some of the comparison we use here esp older players who have no measurement on record. In addition others here on Celebheights have said something to the effect of Kobe being 194-195 (KROC who is 6'5 said it), MJ being 194-195 (two people on his page have said he's either 6'4.75 or about the same height as another 194 guy). I've heard many people say he is between 6'4-6'5 and 195 at someone's lowest will be 6'5 esp in his sneakers. But I don't think any of them is a solid 194. What I said was "average" 6'4.5-.75 for all of them (said it many times). I don't see them below 6'4.5 at worst my exact height 6'4.4 at my lowest. But For some reason everyone takes 194 as 6'4.25 or something and I never said that. Btw 6'4.25 is still 193.7.
Problem is, The other guys that you, me, and everyone else compares these guys against, it is possible they aren't the height they claim #1, #2 knowledge that height varies throughout the day, it's not far fetched. Really, none of us is good enough to tell what a 6'4.25 person looks like vs a 6'4 person up close. None of us can tell from pics and none of these pics is ideal. Proportions, etc vary. But I will say, that when people have met MJ or Barkley or Kobe etc and one half says 6'4 the other half 6'5, that conventional wisdom tells me they are all somewhere in between. It's also possible that a "supposed 6'4" like Pique if he measured 6'4 flat on a stadio meter in the AM (just using an example) that he may not measure that at the end of the day. Proportions vary and height varies through the day.
Lastly, I know for you that you are objective and are looking and "see what you see". But others here automatically want to "upgrade" or make someone a certain height just because they Are Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant or anyone else. They tend to bring everyone else up along with them (like Charles Barkely) because he is taller or "appears taller" than other guys do next to him. I trust enough resources that have met Barkley to know he's not over 6'5 and doesn't even look that to most people. I trust his teammates, GMs, opponents, Etc. I've never heard one person say he's 6'6 or 6'5 1/2 etc. they all say he's under 6'5 some even say 6'4. I mean Dan Majerle, Moses Malone, Joe Klein, etc. To be honest that is far more credible than pictures posted here with compromised angles and some of the biased people here who compare him to others esp Jordan just so that don't have to downgrade his Airness. That's what I'm getting at. So me I'm not downgrading anyone. I go off what "reliable" sources have said and also have common sense to know someone like Barkley isn't any taller because he (as a power forward) would've easily been overlisted more than under. it is also common knowledge that many players usually were 1.5" shorter than listed almost all players were. Now a days it's closer to 2" when they measure early like they do.
@Height: I understand what you are saying and I don't take any offense at all. We are all debating (in good fun) and It is a good question. Unfortunately, I do not have any that I can upload with NBA players. Many were Long in the past (when I played in HS and college for a few yrs) and not on a phone. I met Melo in the last few months but unfortunately didn't get a pic with him. I am honest in saying he looked as listed 6'6.25 looked adequate enough. Definitely not under a flat 6'6 at his lowest. He had me by 1.5-2". Looked a very weak 2" to where it could've been 1.5 but he isn't anything under 6'6. That I know. It wasn't professional to take a pic in a restaurant in that area but I did stand right in front of him to talk to him (I actually met him years ago but he was in high school as he is a few years younger than me). I do have some with FB players however and a hockey player. But as for NBA ball players I've met Muggsy (he was very short). Caron butler (looks as listed, definitely isn't under 6'5 not over 6'5.5) he was slightly taller than me, with Keith Bogans (we are very close in height- as listed). (played against him), Harvey (6'8.5ish). I also saw Dr J but was not directly in front of him was from a distance so couldn't get a read on his height. I've also met a few others like Larry Johnson (when I was in college years ago and he was at the end of his career with New York). LJ Wasn't much taller than me and was "similar" to Butler. Both Are easy 6'5-6'5.25 likely. Brown is 6'10 (of course it's hard to tell with him because he towered me). Jason Maxiell 6'4-6'5. He didn't look any taller than I am and is listed 6'7 lol. Maybe he had me by a cm and couldn't tell. TJ ford (was under 6'0 is all I can say prob 5'10). Kirk Hinrich is 6'2, Scott Padgett looked 6'8/6'9. Devin Ebanks looked 6'6 1/2-6'7. Some of the other guys that play today I played against over the years as well.
However you are correct. I've never met those 4 you mention but I do trust the eyes and words and knowledge of their teammates over some of the comparison we use here esp older players who have no measurement on record. In addition others here on Celebheights have said something to the effect of Kobe being 194-195 (KROC who is 6'5 said it), MJ being 194-195 (two people on his page have said he's either 6'4.75 or about the same height as another 194 guy). I've heard many people say he is between 6'4-6'5 and 195 at someone's lowest will be 6'5 esp in his sneakers. But I don't think any of them is a solid 194. What I said was "average" 6'4.5-.75 for all of them (said it many times). I don't see them below 6'4.5 at worst my exact height 6'4.4 at my lowest.

@James: have you ever met Kobe Bryant? I have not but I doubt you have either. But KROC has met him tho and he said he's between 194-195 (KROC is 196) so he could tell. I think if Kobe isn't 6'4.5-.625 that Brad wouldn't have seen a difference like that. He would've just said he's 6'5. Brad is 198 and said Kobe is a strong 6'4 on Jordan's page. By the way, I didn't say he is a solid 194. I put him around 6'4.5 (194.3-194.5). Kobe did claim he's 6'4.5 before as well. Everyone here goes off "because so and so claims this and looks this in a picture." You do know that many of the people here can't tel a difference (I sure can't) between 194.5 and 195 if I'm not standing right in front of the person nor do we know if the objects (people comparing against are truly what they claim). Instead we inflate people to keep them in line.

Could you please share some of the pictures you have taken with the basketball players you have met? I bet you have at least one picture, you seem to be be pretty sure about Kobe's, Carter's, Jordan's, and Barkley's height even though you haven't seen them or met them. I hope you take this the right way but my guess is that you are only being logical from what other people have told you and not by the experience of meeting/watching them, and that they are actually a tad taller than the alleged 6'4.5" people who have met them (how can a 194 cm guy in front of a 195 cm guy on the street or hotel/restaurant notice such a subtle difference? Even me with my sharp nit picky eyes wouldn't notice).
99 % of the evidence through the years points that they are not below 195cm (and for that not any taller than 195.5 cm).
The evidence of Kobe with measured people who are shorter and a little taller is very clear to point he isn't as low as 194 cm.

@Canson And 195 cm is strong 6'4". All I'm saying is that him under 195 cm doesn't make sense especially with all the evidence of him with measured people like Kaka, Pique, Djedovic. If he can pull off a 196-197 next to Pique and Kaka and a 196 next to Djedovic, it makes sense that his lowest is 195 cm.

@Canson Piqué was measured 194.7 cm in the morning with a stadiometer. There is very little chance that he drops below 192 cm at the end of the day. Plus he is not the only proof, Kaká and Djedovic close to Kobe proof that is not 193 cm or 194 cm, which are too low. There is no way he can appear 4 cm-5cm taller than Piqué or 10 cm-11cm taller than Kaká at just 194cm.
195 cm -195.5 cm barefoot is more precise.

Rob, I think you should consider upgrading Kobe to 6'5, or even 6'5.5. He has notoriously bad posture. This is uncontroversial. I have some images of him next to Conan O'Brien and Bill O'reilly - two men with strong 6'4 statures. As a bonus, I included a picture with Michael Jordan - where Kobe is exhibiting his terrible posture once again and it is clear he has the advantage, even with his less than mediocre posture.

Just use in cemtimeters that kobe mid eye level look like 11.75cm to 12.0cm as most 6'5 guy mid eye level were right on 12cm to 12.5cm. This account kobe to look slightly taller than average guy his height. But i strong doubt that obama might have loss 0.25 at 6'0.75 since he make kobe look a comfortable 6'5 guy. Just my estimate below
Kobe 195-195.3cm
Obama 184.8cm-185.1cm

Editor Rob for 6ft 5 he doesn't have a big head, but a smaller eyelevel than average for his height and is more prone to having a positive tilt (raising his eyelevel slightly). It probably still is a fraction over 9 inches

The more I see of he and nick young and he and other similarly sized players the more he looks a weak 6'5 than 6'4. He is likely between 6'4.5-.75 somewhere in there with the former being close to his low most likely. I def see at least 6'5 maybe even a quarter above out of bed.

Further proof of what we already know; that NBA heights are taken I'm the morning.
Click Here
As you can see, Pat Conn. measured 6ft4(barefoot) at the combine, yet earlier this year he measured 6ft3.75.(oddly enough, his reach was longer in the New England measurement!).
But it's clear to me that was a later measurement. So this guy(whom I actually like; he seemed like a solid player at Notre Dame, though I don't watch college b-ball, except Notre Dame playoff games this year) is touted as a 6ft5 SG prospect, yet he's actually a fraction under 6'4. Boy, I bet Hollywood loves getting pics taken with B-ball players. :)
(And FYI, he didn't grow a quarter inch between measurements, the man is 22 years old, and both measurements were taken this year, likely within weeks of each other.)

Stephen curry supposedly measured 6'2 barefoot...
Anyway, here is a list of the 2015 NBA pre-draft heights, both barefoot, and in shoes.
And it's ridiculous. They're are several players gaining a full 2 inches from footwear! And this one guy, at the top of the list(last name Brown) is supposedly getting 3 inches of footwear! (6ft5.5 barefoot, 6ft8.5 in shoes)! Surely that is an error, but the large portion of players gaining 1.5-2 inches from footwear shows me that these players know exactly what they're doing. No b-ball shoe I know of gives 2 inches, even Shox give like 1.4.
My point/question is, are some of these guys wearing lifts to the combine???
(And, having watched some of the draft coverage, height was mostly given in shoes)

Kobe does look to be about 6'5" or a little over 6'5" barefooted, quite possibly be 6'5.75" right after we gets out of bed. I think her wife might of had underestimated his height by half an inch, and he could of might been a little more over 6'5" like 6'5.25". I am saying this because I had the same experience back when I was 17 soon to be 18 when my mom measured me at 5'11.5" (182cm) which I knew it was wrong, as I had measured my self before at exactly 6 feet. Though, now at 27 years of age I am now measured 6'3.5" (192cm) so I grew about 3.5" to 4" inches in height. The thing that I find funny is that at the DMV office right before we were leaving with my mom the place, she noticed they had a height ruler thing and told me to stand straight to measure me against door and apparently she told I was a little over 6'6" which I find hard to believe. Anyways, I wonder how how tall will I be measured if I was in the NBA, when I am only 6'3.5" in height.

Anyone have a guess on Tim Duncan? He's taller than Deandre Jordan(pre-draft measurement 6ft9.75) and really can look 6'11, yet is shorter than Kevin Garnett(6ft11-11.5). I'm guessing 6'10.5 or so?

@Andrea: 192cm is definitely possible for Harden, I didn't mean that he was 6'3 flAt, but I simply can't see a full 6ft4. I mean there looks more than an inch between him and Kobe(who is supposedly "just" 195cm), and he's a bit shorter than Nick Young, ho you yourself pointed out can look barely 6'4 himself(though I do think he could measure 6ft4.25). But it's hard to tell with basketball players, because there talk, and the measurements aren't always reliable. Harden can look anywhere between 6'3 and 4; and could very well be 6ft3.5-75; but he just doesn't look 6'4 to me.
King Felipe, can look between 6'4 and 5 himself, but the pics would be interesting.
It's funny you mentioned Harden, a sportswriter who wrote an article about how both the NBA and most universities lie about players heights,(I can't recall the exact players) but he specifically mentions Hardens 6'4 measurement as matching up with his university height(which also listed him 6'4.) So maybe he's closer to that mark than the other players I listed. :)

Lorne, that James Harden guy actually looked very similar to King Felipe (in some pictures slightly taller, in others slightly shorter) while having maybe a bit more shoe! I doubt Felipe would be more than 0.5 inches taller than that guy. So, James Harden at 6'3 would put King Felipe at 6'3-6'3.5! You sure about that? He was listed at 6'5.5 and clearly never looked that tall to me but i don' think he'd be below 6'4 to be fair! Of course Arch even guessed him near 6'6, based on his proportions, which is madness :)

Ok, I am starting to believe that even the NBA's so called pre-draft "measurements" are crap. I mean I understand that many may be morning measuremnts, but I have found multiple players who are at least 2cm less than what they supposedly measured, and in some cases 2-3 inches shorter than their team listings. Here are some examples:
Nick Young: listed 6'7, pre draft measurement supposedly 6ft5, yet in reality he is shorter than Kobe Bryant, who has claimed 6'4.75, though he could very well be the full 6'5. So that means Nick Young, is maybe, 6ft4.25, and can barely look 6ft4 at times.
Jeremy Lin- He has been listed 6'4(a height he has also claimed), and supposedly measured 6ft3, yet he doesn't really look over 6'2 at time, and Rob now has him listed 6ft2.25.
James Harden's pre-draft was supposedly 6'4, but he's clearly closer to 6ft3...
They're are other examples, but did all of these men really measure nearly an inch taller than they are by the afternoon? To be fair, talk guys like them will likely drop a full inch from morning to night, and could very well drop a good 3cm. But still, morning height drops incredibly fast; I know I can drop half an inch in 2 hours. Just seems quite odd.
Anyway, my point is that even the pre-draft measurements seem quite dubious, although some look accurate(for example, Kyle Korver is listed 6'7, but his predraft measurement was 6ft5.25, I think, an he really does look around 6'5, and I can believe Jeff Teague measured 6ft0.25(hi tem listing is 6'2, pre-draft 6ft0.25) so it seems a 50/50 split.
Also, I'm not sure what Steve Nash measured(pre draft measurements weren't required at that time, and they are hard to find) but I don't even think he's quite a full 6'1, he could be as low as 6ft0.5, but I give him 6ft0.75. A slightly unrelated note, just saying)

Totally agree with you, Tunman. It is true that he can pull off looking over 6'5 in most of the photos but there are also pictures where he doesn't, like those with Rob Gronkowski... He also doesn't look taller than Rick Fox, who is 6'5 range too! 6'4 or 6'5 in sneaks is indeed a big joke! I mean, if he really were as low as 6'4, most of the people on here would need a drastic downgrading! I think he was talking "in general" and just came out with 6'4, but there's noway he's as low as that! In any case, his wife has measured him, i'm wondering how reliable is a "measurement" like that!

yeah,Lorne Young is more likely 6'4 range.
Anyways Kobe is really modest about his height.6'4 or 6'5 in sneaks is a joke.
I don't know but I'm feeling his wife measured him after a long day of training.
A real possibility that 6'4.75 is his absolute lowest.
That could be a first explanation to why he looks so often a strong 6'5
yeah,Lorne Young is more likely 6'4 range.
Anyways Kobe is really modest about his height.6'4 or 6'5 in sneaks is a joke.
I don't know but I'm feeling his wife measured him after a long day of training.
A real possibility that 6'4.75 is his absolute lowest.

Rob, what is the "shot of all player"? Kobe looks taller than him in every picture i've seen and it is not just a cm or something like that, it seems quite a noticeable difference! I would have guessed Nick between 6'3 and 6'4 next to Kobe, if i didn't know the "measurement"...

Editor Rob there's a group shot and difference might only be a fraction.
We know a proportion of nba measurements might be within an hour out of bed.

Yeah, pictures are deceptive. But the point is, Kobe is taller than a guy who supposedly measured 6ft5,(believe me, I actually watch lakers B-ball). Personally, I'm thinking the 6'5 is maybe a morning measurement, and young is closer to 6'4(a la Tim Tebow) but either way, it is yet another incident of Kobe looking 6ft5+.

I thought Lebron was listed 6ft7.5, that is why I asked about downgrading. But 6his 6ft7.25 draft measurement I can live with. I'm still not sold on 2.5 inches between them, though.
And that first pic is terrible for judging height, but they're looks 2 inches between them. Believe me, I'm an NBA fan, and Kobe looks a 6ft5er, though as Rob has mentioned, small head, eye level gives illusion of being taller.

2 inch difference (5 cm aprox.) between Kobe and Lebron is right.
Kobe Bryant: 6'4.5"/ 6'4.75" (194.3 cm / 195 cm)
Lebron James: 6'6.25" / 6'6.5" (198.8 cm / 199.3 cm)

Are you going to downgrade Steve Nash and Lebron James, Rob?
No way in hell Nash is 6'1 with Kobe at 195cm(though I always suspected Nash was more 184cm anyway) and Lebron looks barely 2 inches taller than him, so even 6'7 is generous.
But I am glad to see some NBA heights on here, I actually watch the NBA. :)
Good job, Rob, you keep improving the site!

If Kobe stand no taller than 6'4.75 therefore Dwyane Wade should be 6'2.75 and Lebron James 6'6.75 at best

My co-workers still think this guy is 6'6" when he claimed 6'5". (Shakes head) people just get so upset when they find out that their favorite aren't as tall as they are listed.

Well he indeed looked nearly 3" shorter than Kobe but he seemed at least the same as Tony Hawk,if not a fraction taller.
the pic with Colin proves he's no more than 6'2.5 and possibly even 6'2.25 but as I said many people will need to be downgraded and Hawk can't be 6'3 any longer.
Quite funny that even tall guys want to boost themselves,I could have understood that need from a short/average man.

Tunman, even 6'2.5 is pretty generous next to a Kobe! He doesnt even look 6'2 with him, let alone 6'3! Of course i'm not saying i believe he's under 6'2 but i think he might measure anywhere between 6'2 and 6'2.5! His "almost 6'4" claim is pretty optimistic!

Is tony hawk still 6'3?
Also phelps at 189 max would put Missy Franklin at 183 max,and Ryan Lochte at 184 max...hmmm,are most sportsmen's listings fake by 1"+?

Rob,maybe this guy is downplaying his height?I'm really 6'4 I'm probably 6'5 with sneaks.Clearly he's taller than that.Now his wife said she measured him at 6'4.75 is perhaps not the most "scientific"measurement
Did she use stadiometer,aerosol,book?did she stood on a chair to perform the measurement?all legit questions that deserve answers.
I have no doubts he's near that mark but I wouldn't exclude a full 6'5.I'm not sure he's shorter than guys like Jordan or Bolt,actually he's rather taller.

Yeah, but you still didnt't explain how he looks so tall with guys like Lisa, Michael Phelps, Redfoo, Neymar,... I can certainly buy this listing, when i look at him with measured people but when it comes to people who didnt get officially measured it just doesn't "match"! Could Michael Phelps be under 6'2? I never bought his full 6'3 listing but i wouldnt have guessed him under 6'2-6'2.5... Lisa is supposed to be a quarter inch taller and she looks at least a couple cms shorter... Neymar looks nearly a full head shorter! Could he be 5'7 range?

A chance? There's more difference between Redfoo and Kobe than between Joe and Grant (and Joe is supposed to be even taller than Kobe)! And again what about Michael Phelps? Lisa Leslie? There's a big number of celebrities listed on here who look noway near their listing when you compare with Kobe... How do you explain those? And who knows how the hell Kobe's wife measured him, there's a big room for an error! I'll trust only Big Rob's measurements :)

Editor Rob there's always a chance of error, but Kobe is supposed to have had a pre draft of 6ft 4.75 aswell, although the data on this I can't find, others from years ago on BBall forums mentioned it.

Rob, Kobe actually looks between 6'4 and 6'5 in that picture... So i'm guessing that it's not him that is underlisted, but the others who are overlisted? Take a Michael Phelps, he's noticeably shorter than him, "much more" than this guy who is a real 189-190! And again Lisa Leslie! You realize you can't have all these guys at their listings and Kobe at 6'4.75! When i said to list him 6'6 was just a way not to mess up with the other listings... Even that Redfoo guy who claims 6'2 seems near 5 inches shorter than him! So is he 6'?

Of course, you're considering Morgan Freeman at 6'0.5-6'0.75 range in that pic! You think he's that low today? And you also don't look so much shorter than Kobe in that picture. Take a Neymar, you said he's 5'8-5'8.5 (so similar range to you) and he gets dwarfed by Kobe, certainly more than you! And Michael Phelps? And Lisa Leslie? You certainly can't have Lisa at 6'5 and Kobe shorter than her since he's clearly taller by at least 2 cms!

Editor Rob no, I wouldn't have said he really is that low, but yes Kobe if Morgan is 187 could appear over 6ft 5 in the photo. I'm not convinced he really is 6ft 5.5 though, he looks over an inch smaller than the 6ft 6 nfl player in 2 photos with him!

But my friend graduated high school with him and told me that Kobe was about an inch over him, my friend's about 6'4".
