@Canson
Very true,though I personally thought Barkley generally gave the best impression among the two but I would hardly have thought more than 1cm which clearly excludes anything under a strong 6'4 range.If Pat Riley described him at 6'4.5 I think there's room for doubt about whether he's a full 6'5 or not.Let's take Barkley as the reference and put him at 6'4 5/8 then it could make sense.While it's possible to question Riley words that he was only 6'4.5 it's almost a certainty that he was measured at least once under 6'5.The question is:was he really measured only 6'4.5" or did Riley rounded down a 6'4 7/8 measurement in order to undermine Jordan?close to 6'5 anyways

@123: I respectfully disagree. Jordan for sure is not 6'3 anything and hasn't been likely since High School. I agree He is not 6'6 as listed nor a full 6'5 at his lowest, but I'd be utterly shocked if he's below maybe my height of 6'4.5 (6'4 3/8 at my lowest). I'd personally call him 6'5.25 out of bed and 6'4.5 at his lowest give or take 1/4". This would encompass the measurements of 6'4 7/8 if that measurement is a true measurement as it'd be an hour after waking and 6'4.75 two hours out then after 5 be around the 6'4.5 mark. This is of course guessing but it is how I measure during the day as well 6'5.16 out of bed. And Jordan is not "noticeably" shorter than Barkley. Theyre about the same height. Some pics will make Charles look taller (he is much bigger in the body too) others Jordan will look taller. Sure, one may edge the other by 1/4" inch and not sure which would but having heard from people who have met both. Barkley is the same height as I am according to a friend of mine who is 6'3 and has met him. he said he looked about an inch and a half taller and said he is my height. Someone else I know has met Jordan, he's 6'2 and said the same that Jordan is about as tall as I am Seeing the difference in person. He said not a full 3" taller than he is but at least 2.

@John: I agree. 6'4.5-.75 is the norm for a big 2 guard which they'd make 6'6. he's just about exactly 6'4.5 at his lowest. Anyone who describes him that's cognizant of height shoes timing says he looks between 6'4 and 6'5. Basically telling me that he prob isn't as high as 195 at his lowest or else he would look nothing under 6'5 in higher footwear but more like 6'4.5 to look that way and in a pair of His sneakers that'd almost make him a legit 6'6 if they add 1.2-1.4".

@ john MJ is shorter than Charles Barkley who was measured at 6'4 & 5/8ths MJ is a good decent legitimate six-foot three 6'3/6'3.25 btw proportionaly MJ looks that height as well

MJ is six foot three which is still VERY tall, I don't think he has lost any 6'3-6'3.25 then and the same now
Please explain to everyone how in the world does MJ look only 6'3. Even a 6 year old kid would notice that he's nothing under 6'4.5"

@Shane: agreed and is the definition of a weak 6'5. 6'5.25-.375 like you have him and between 194-195 before 6'4.5-.625. You know too, being your height, if you fall to 6'1.5 like you, do that people wouldn't even give 6'2 a second thought when most ppl claim shoes and especially wearing a higher cut shoe like a Jordan brand and with longer legs and a broad physique. 6'4.5 as a low height is underestimated. Even at 6'4 3/8 on a daily low and 6'4.25 on a gym day low and in a low shoe 3/4" shoe) I still get guessed 6'5 regularly when in reality I'd be exactly 6'5 in shoes at night

I haven´t talked about this with my cousin for twenty years (we don´t see each other very often). From what he told me I assumed that he saw Jordan (and the others, Pippen, Rodman, Kemp, Schrempf) not just on the court but also off the court. So his opinion should be reliable. He said that all players where shorter than their listed heights. And he said Jordan was his height or 1`94. That can mean that Jordan was actually 1`94 or a couple of cms over that. From pics posted here I believe he is 1´95-96 and will edge my cousin

@Joe Jake: they don't lie per Se. That's how they're measured (in shoes). MJ is def close to 6'6 if not a full 6'6 in shoes depending on when he is measured. With his sneaks he can prob gain a good 1.2-1.4 easily. So if he's 6'4.5-.75 that's a weak 6'5 in reality but he's 6'6" for sports and entertainment purposes. One person who met him below described him 197-198 in "public" I reckon that's in shoes as he is frequently described by most in the 194 to 195 range barefoot

@Chris Dude just stop the madness. Kobe was never measured at the pre draft camp because he chose to "skip" it. His wife was the one who measured him at 195cm. In person he looks 194cm-195cm. In pictures Kobe Bryant, Charles Barkley both appear to be the EXACT same height as Jordan. All 3 of these guys also have a very similar body type i.e. average legssuper long torso. If MJ is 6'6 then that would make Dennis Rodman over 6'7 and Scottie Pippen over 6'9! Jordan is 194-195, end of story. Quit upgrading people man.

Ok Height let's agree to disagree on this one lol. The range is too variant (it's far more likely Oscar and Jean overestimated him). No way in hell MJ is 6'5 1/2 or 3/4 or what they have him esp when ppl who've met him closer in height have said 194-195

Yes Height I saw Gonzalo's post. Gonzalo said "he" thinks Jordan is 195.he didn't meet him his cousin did. His cousin actually said he's "his" height 194. I don't see him as that low So let's split it and say he's 194-195. Jim at 6'4.75 said he looked him directly in the eye and he's no lower than 6'4.5 and then the exact same That means to me He's between 194-195. Either of them could've edged the other honestly and don't know what time either measured. Remember he met him 6-7 yrs ago so he didn't change his opinion just said they're similar. I've heard the exact same from ppl I know who I know that have met Jordan in person. They've all said He's between 6'4 and 6'5 or around 6'4.5 or so. Sure they could be a fraction off and keep it real height varies throughout the day. So nobody knows their exact. So someone being 6'4.5 or .75 in the afternoon chances are they can see the other at a diff point of the day they're that close to each other. Don't know why the people that I know who have seen him aren't reliable. They say the exact same as KROC and Jim Gonzalo's cousin. I bet if i said my friends called him 6'5-6'6 then people would take it and use that but it isn't true so I see no incentive to lie and say he is just because he is Jordan. But Because This site is all about inflating people to make them more standout as people for some unknown reason. These include 6'2 and 6'3 guys who's claims are exactly in line with Jim's and Gonzalo's cousin. Jordan is likely between 194-195 but not over 195 is all I was saying. Or else he'd always get a full no questions asked 6'5. Trust me nobody can see 1/8" that easily or 1/4". But he is a very good and very tall height. All I've said is that common sense (people here don't use it they just want to make everyone taller. People say I'm downgrading or trolling. No I'm going off what I see on this page (below) and what I've heard from people who I know are reliably measured and in circles throughout the NBA. can't count how many times he's been called 6'4 range. Only One person on this page has put him above 6'5 and it's likely an oversight judging MJ with Magic or anyone else he never looks 6'5.5 like he gave him 196.6. btw, KROC also said "look I haven't met Jordan but people who have have described him as about 6'5 or a weak 6'5". That was on Barkley's page previously. KROC also called Kobe 6'5 for rounding purposes. Then said he's 194-195. That just means they're both closer to 6'5 than 6'4

Jim describes him as 194.3 cm - 195 cm (6'4.5" initially and 6'4.75" on his latest comment)
Jean describes him as 196.6 cm (6'5.27")
KROC's fiends that have met him describe him as 195.6 cm (6'5")
Oscar describes him as 197 cm - 198 cm (6'5.57"- 6'5.95")
Gonzalo's cousin who didn't met him but saw him play (distance of seats unknown) about 194 cm - 195 cm (6'4.5" - 6'4.75")
There is one very weak claim form his baseball days, but doesn't sound credible since it was double posted with different user names and 6'3" is also thrown in.
Kobe is virtually the same size and isn't lower than 195 cm and evidence points that could be up to 195.5 cm at his lowest
There is more evidence that Jordan is closer to 195.6 cm (6'5") than to 194.3 cm (6'4.5"), especially from the people who have met him and think in centimeters.
He most probably wakes up at almost 198 cm and remains 197 cm - 196 cm the rest of the day. I can see 195.5 cm - 195 cm as lowest.

Height: to your comment on Kobe's page I haven't met any of the above except Melo but I was an avid watcher and a breather of the NBA. Of course what I provided are all estimates (with the exception of Melo who is 6'6-6'6.25 I'd call him 198.5-198.8). I can't tell a 1/4" of two guys next to each other very well. Just how they appear to me on tv. But these guys you listed here are pretty close in my opinion.

@Height: I will say that while Miller does "stretch" sometimes I did hear MWP say he's 6'5 1/2. Don't know if it's his lowest but I can see him as no less than 196.2 (he looks marginally taller than Kobe like less than an inch and about 1.25-1.5 shorter than Matt Barnes). Miller estimated him to be between 6'5-6'6. So he was right on that one. Same with MJ where he estimated him to be somewhere between 6'4-6'5

@123: LOL! Are you joking here or smoking the funny stuff? Jordan is certifiably between 6'4-6'5 barefoot. They wouldn't list a guard 3" taller. (he was already tall for a 2 guard even being 6'4 1/2 barefoot in those days). I know people who have seen him in person to say he is 6'4-6'5. Now Height and I are arguing a 1/4" which is reasonable but he ain't 6'3 LOL! That'd mean every player and I mean every. Dennis Rodman would only be 6'5 if MJ is 6'3.25. Pippen would be 6'5-6'6. Not possible. Rodman is 6'6-6'6.5 and Pippen only a little taller 6'7"
@123: LOL! Are you joking here or smoking the funny stuff? Jordan is certifiably between 6'4-6'5 barefoot. They wouldn't list a guard 3" taller. (he was already tall for a 2 guard even being 6'4 1/2 barefoot in those days). I know people who have seen him in person to say he is 6'4-6'5.

@Height: I do agree with you on Reggie doing that. Remember he and Charles Barkley joked and called draymond 6'3 last year lol. But they were doing that being funny. As for Penny I can't see him as over 6'6. If he's a tad shorter than Melo (at least anything that any of us could conceivably see) he'd be a solid 6'6 being Melo was measured 6'6.25. I've met Melo and he looks the height they lost him (but I can see Melo waking to 6'7" or very close to it and not dropping below a full 6'6 maybe even the 6'6.25. As for Boozer, Reggie may have gone far but at the same time Boozer once said something to that effect that he was 6'6. But that from my memory was when he was at Duke. He said they billed him at 6'8 but he was really only 6'6. IMHO boozer may only be a solid 6'7-6'7.5. I have heard people refer to him as 6'7 like Kurt Rambis when the Lakers were looking at picking him up. Rambis mentioned that he's "short for a power forward at 6'7". But he isn't under 6'7 imho

Nice info but I wouldn't take Reggie Miller's opinions on height seriously (even on his height), he has always been exaggerated and a conspiracy theorist (always subtracting 2 inches from american players and adding 2 inches to european players). He once said that Kirilenko was 7'2", Larry Johnson 6'3" and Carlos Boozer 6'6". Reggie has always been a legit 198cm guy if you see him next to Majerle there is a legit 1 cm to 2 cm between them.
I have seen Penny enough and I can tell you that he is closer to 199 cm than to 198 cm. Melo is taller than him, but by just a tad, trust me.

@Height: Penny's pre draft lists him as a solid 6'6. But I'll be fair and say he could've been 1/8" over possibly because back in that draft I didn't see any 1/4" or 3/4" only 1/2 and full. I do know for some players (a friend of mine was a scout and still works closely with the league in some capacities) if they are slightly over they give them the full quarter or half and even others that may be .3 they will call them 1/2". He also said some get the in shoes height in the barefoot column occasionally (Vince Carter). I also wonder about John Wall as from people that have seen him he looks 6'2 ranfe in shoes not even close to 6'3. I doubt that was anything foul, it was more that he may have stretched for more and was measured in the morning early as I can believe he'd be 6'2 range in the AM. It's possible when they saw him that he was in casual shoes and not his sneakers and later in the day. The same people also met Bradley Beal and said he looks "slightly taller than one of them who is 6'2-6'2.5" which would make me think he's a weak 6'3 or maybe a full 6'3 (I honesty can see either for him) and makes sense if he was 6'3.25 in the morning.
I haven't seen Penny against enough 6'6 guys to know (only one who is close to 6'6" in Reggie Miller). I have seen him with Dennis Rodman and they look similar (I think Rodman is taller however) But on the same dime, Miller has also said before he is somewhere between 6'5 or 6'6 barefoot. I've heard him say it more than once. Once when he said MJ was between 6'4 and 6'5 and another time when He described a matchup with Antoine Walker and Ron artest and said Artest is "his height" around 6'5 or 6'6. If I had to be fair, I'd call Metta 6'5.25-6'5.5 and call Reggie 6'5 3/4 esp since he was listed 6'6 in college. Metta claimed 6'5 1/2 on Big Boi's neighborhood. So I'd give Penny 6'6. Melo looks taller (at least in my opinion). Melo's pre draft is 6'6.25

@Height: what I was saying about shoes is when he in public with someone else or against other players. The former with someone else, the shoe will make a difference. Not necessarily Stackhouse. I've never paid attention to Stackhouse's shoes but with Jordan I've owned many and I know many others who have who are taller in them.

@Height: Jordan wore a thick heel too though. As for the 6'4.5 Riley gave him he got that from inner circle. I never heard Knight say it. My guess is MJ measured that at his low (mid to late afternoon after most of the height is gone). Sprewell though (as is the case with Vince Carter) only has a barefoot measurement with no shoe measurement so that is suspect to me. In the Case of Carter, RJ said "Vince is 6'4 1/2, 6'5 on a good day, I take it as he's between 6'4.5-6'5. But an excerpt from a game when spree played for the Knicks when Pitino said he's 6'6. Sprewell said "I'm 6'4. I appreciate the extra inches." Someone I know and played men's league with is friends with him from high school and has seen him and confirmed he's "at most 6'4" or "about 6'4". I highly doubt he's any less think he was making a point tho to say he isn't 6'5 as he's listed on the roster. He told me that I look taller than him (of course we aren't standing next to each other and I'm thicker than Spree as well).

I get your point, but to me discussing shoes in this case is nonsense because Stackhouse wore Filas with thick soles. Nick Anderson is 6'4"alright, but not a flat one that is, most likely a weak 194 cm from what I've seen.
As for Penny, he's 6'6", but like Nick he's not a flat 6'6" he has always edged flat 6'6"players by a little, he is more a weak 199 cm guy as he always seemed very similar in height as Melo (Melo being just tad taller). That is 2 inches.
Horace always was about 1.5cm - 2cm taller than Harvey at about 205 cm, hence the difference with Anderson (almost 12 cm difference = 4.5 to 4.7 inches)
There is no actual record that MJ was 6'4.5" when drafted (or that he was measured at that) other than opinions of Basketball people like Pat Riley or Bobby Knight who could have said 6'4.5" of any player between 193.1 cm and 195.5 cm. In their eyes, all the Jordans, Andersons, Stackhouses, Sprewells,Houstons, etc are 6'4.5"...they see the general picture as they think in feet and inches and not cms, that is a fact for me as I've seen numerous times where the subtle height differences between players are ignored.

@Height: Stackhouse and Jordan look the exact same to me always. I've never seen a pic where stack is shorter than him. I've seen some where stack can look taller but he's the same height. If anything One may have an 1/8" on the other which we can never see. Jordan remember too wears high cut shoes. I have his sneaks and am close to 6'6 in them in one pair I have even at 6'4 3/8 at night. They're a good 1.4" easy. From pics I see of Jordan in public he looks my height (Colin Kapernick is similar height as well) and he looks similar to him so does Kobe. They all don't look as tall as Howard Stern or Cam Newton. They're legit 6'5s. And Jordan is also built the exact same way as I am too. Very long 36 inseam and avg torso. That automatically gives the impression he's taller. Believe me I've been asked if I'm 6'6 many a times in my life. I see a lot of 6'3 1/2 guys or 6'2.5 guys say 6'5 and 6'4 claiming their morning and shoes. Nick Anderson is about 6'4. i have to honor what he claimed. Penny looked 2" taller than him to me and saw pics with Grant and he was a good nearly 5" taller than Nick. I've never met Horace but have met his brother. Prob 6'8.5 looked 4" taller than me

Height: I guess anything is possible but if Jordan gets guessed at 6'4 by people close in size to him he def comes down below 195. To put in perspective there's no way he's as tall as Klitschko is. He's 198 out of bed and 196 at his low. 197 is 6'5 5/8. And a strong 197 is 6'5 3/4-7/8. I'd air more toward 196.2 from bed maybe 196.5 (6'5 3/8) the latter would mean he'd be in the 7/8" category for height loss and with his build I can't see that. I see 196.2/194.4 at his lowest esp when he was 6'4.5 when drafted

Nick Anderson never looked a flat 6'4" and is not shorter than 6'4.25" (193.7 cm), that is virtually 194 cm. Stackhouse has always been slightly taller than Nick and slightly shorter than MJ, about 1 cm shorter.

@Canson I agree at MJ not being a full 6'5" (195.6 cm) at night, but considering that he can be a strong 197 cm during the day, and he genuinely looks more than 2 cms taller than legit 193 cm people, I think the absolute lowest he can drop at night is inside the 195.5 cm - 195 cm range (very similar to Kobe).

Height I agree on the metric system being better. I'm not saying Jordan can't measure 6'4.75 earlier in the day but I think he would be 6'4.5 or my height (6'4 3/8-.42)at his lowest. In fact I firmly believe he'd still be 6'4.75 two hours out of bed and 6'4.5 at night. he and Stackhouse along with Kobe all look 6'4.5 and they can even look shorter than Carter as well or same height. 6'4.5 is very possible for Jordan 194.5 which is why some people even 6'2+ guys have said he's 6'4 others 6'5. That really is dependent on what time of day that specific person describing him measured and how much (degree of rounding) the person does. I often get 6'5 more than I do 6'4 (at 194.5)

Like I said on another thread, I think 6'4.5"and 6'4.75" are interchangeable, and 6'4.5" is one of the common ways for Basketball people (in USA at least) to refer to anyone who is between 193 and 195.5 cm. That is why I'm an advocate of the metric system.
I once believed MJ could be as low as 194 cm 194.5 cm as full grown pro, especially considering that Barkley looked 1cm - 1.5cm taller than him most of the time, but then after carefully comparing him again with other players who are legit 6'6" (Reggie Miller or Penny Hardaway who is actually more like Melo's height at 6'6.25") he honestly seemed like a flat 6'5"guy.
MJ is no way shorter than 195 cm or 195.5cm, he genuinely edged legit 6'4" players by about an inch (thinking guys like Mitch Richmond). Or how he edged player that are true 194 cm like Nick Anderson or Jerry Stackhouse by a little less than half an inch (about 1cm).

@Sal agree with most of what u said. But him saying Rodman is half inch taller than him I heard him say the same but it was to illustrate that Rodman really isn't "6'9 260 he's 6'6 220 in Jordan's words". Jordan is comparing his listed height in the league (his shoe height rounded up) to Rodman's legit barefoot height (Rodman is prob 199cm 6'6-6'6.5)

My food for thought. He always looked the same height as Barkley, occasionally taller, usually slightly shorter. He was described by those who looked at him in the NBA draft as a 6'4" guy as opposed to a 7'1" Bowie, which doesn't look correct when you saw him next to Ralph Sampson who was exaggerated 7'4". The Olympic measurement we can't verify said 6'4.88" And Michael Jordan described Rodman as being a half inch taller at 6'6" and at North Carolina I saw a roster with him listed at 6'5.5" so I'm saying the 6'5" estimate sounds about right. The picture of him with Russell though makes me wonder how much height he would have lost. He regularly looks 6'10" to 6'11" with modern listed guys and he was measured at 6'9 and 5/8" but wanted to be rounded down. If Russell was around 6'8.5" now that would make Jordan closer to 6'4" or so as per your comment on the height difference Rob.

Canson, how can you be so sure? Have you met him?
Many people claim what you say, but many others similar in height claim he is a legit 6'5 guy, which I believe. Honestly he doesn't seem as low as 194cm (maybe at age 17/18 or so). The absolute lowest I see MJ is at 195cm-195.5 cm and during the day he certainly gives the impression of being a full 6'6", so I don't see why he can't be at 197cm at his highest.

@Rampage: a little off on this one. But close. He's 196 out of bed and 194 at night. He's the same as me (a hair over 6'5 out of bed, 6'4.5 afternoon and maybe 6'4.4 or so at his lowest). You get people close in height to him describing him as 6'4 pretty regularly. He isn't that low but he spends time in both ranges during the day to get classified as both

He's the same height as the 3 guys you mentioned as well as Kobe. RJ said during his biography for dunking that he's 6'4 1/2, (6'5 on a good day) so right on the money there too.

Canson,
Of course all of this is debatable, but I truly think that's about 4 inches between him and Federer. Maybe just under 4 inches, but not less than 3 and a half.
If he is 6-4 3/4 or 6-4 7/8 that is irrelevant to me as both are still the same height (with just millimeters in difference), and still puts him at a 3 and 3/4 inch or 4 inch difference with Roger Federer.
Both Stackhouse and Nick Anderson where fractions shorter than MJ. MJ always edeged Stackhouse by a fraction and of course on some angles they appear the same, but the actual truth is that MJ edged him by a fraction, just the same way as Vince Carter (about 6'4.8-.9 ) edges MJ by a fraction.

@DRE: I'll split the diff between you and Matthew and say 3-4. def not a full 4 tho. 6'4.5-.75 is about right which makes him just about what you said in your last post, a weak 6'5 (1/4" isn't noticeable on anyone). Not a full 6'5 but between 6'4-6'5 as people like Reggie Miller have said about him. And remember in his shoes he wears (high sole and basketball shoes both) he will be almost a legit 6'6 coming out of that range barefoot.

He clearly looks 4 inches taller than Roger Federer like Height said...that's what 4 inches / 4 and half inches looks in real life.
I just don't see him as a 6'4 and a half guy...I believe that was his height coming out of high school and then grew slightly more. Plus the guy looks 6'6"/ 6'7" in real life, and tad taller than real 6'4 and a half guys like Nick Anderson or Jerry Stackhouse. So just a hair under 6'5 or a flat 6'5 sounds about right.

Thanks Jim! I wasn't too surprised to hear that number. Most people that I've heard along with the folks in the NBA have said around 6'4 1/2.
Just curious. Is the 6'4.75 a measurement after you've been on your feet a while or is that a measurement early in the morning? Just curious to see how MJ would compare to me because all 3 of us are probably similar in height (I'm about 6'4 1/2 if I were to measure late in the day maybe early evening, pretty much a weak 6'5).

I'm 6'4.75 w/o shoes and when I met him I looked him right in the eyes. We were the exact same height. I was actually a bit surprised, I figured he'd be a little taller than me. So yea. I'll never forget how massive his hands were too. They swallowed mine when I shook his hand.

Lol,you seem a big fan of MJ,that's clear.The guy was so perfect that even stating his qualities is useless.Watching him play would be enough to convince even the most skeptical ones about that.
BUT I must point out that James was a better jumper.MJ vertical leap is listed as 48" but actually it's only 43" (8'10" hands up with 12'5" as the highest reach).James has a 44"vertical leap.
Obviously some qualities of MJ are simply present in every player,one can't take those qualities as decisive since they aren't measurable but you summarized quite well the player,in one word the best.

Editor Rob some guys will reach his age with minimal/negligible height lost, while others I think can look 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch under what they did...maybe in their 40's, some lifestyle changes or wear and tear has a toll and they ship over half inch by early 50's.

Adding to what Tunman said,
If Barkley is 6'4.75" (195 cm) then Jordan should be downgraded to 6'4.25" (193.5 cm). Otherwise, at peak height it could be Barkley : 6'5" flat (196 cm) and Jordan 6'4.5" (194.5 cm) as stated by Pat Riley.

Jordan is on the lower end of 6'4 (6'4-6'4.25). Barkley is between 6'4.5-6'4.75 like he says (I've seen him in person and am 6'5 and definitely was not looking up at him). Chuck is taller than MJ. I'd say rodman is 6'5.5-6'6 barefoot since 6'6.5 seems to be his height in shoes as he has claimed that numerous times. And remember pippen was drafted at 6'6 1/2 barefoot and 6'7.5 (shoes). Pip is closer to 6'7 tho barefoot and is taller than both Jordan and rodman.if you look at the picture of the 96 all star team below that was used to compare pippen and Jordan, pip isn't much taller than penny and Reggie miller so he may still be in the high 6'6 range

Now they put them in fake classes at UNC. He was described as 6'4 his freshmen year.

It seems headsizes varies alot at tall heights as Schaubs head is a lot bigger than mannings, which is a lot bigger than Bolt, his is a lot bigger than Jordan, which is a lot bigger than kobe's head finally. Also those guys are within an inch of each other. Sorry rob if this was a strange but probably a very funny comment though. I don't have much of a social life I guess. :p

195-196cm is a good estimate. Surprising thought he got cut from his high school basketball team at age 15 due to only being 5'10 and for having average basketball skills. Guess he prooved them wrong in both ways.

Manning's head could be 25,5 or 26cm at most and his forehead possibly 13 cm.
Maybe a little big indeed though at his height 25 cm could be average.
I think he's slightly closer to the camera with Bolt
Maybe MJ and Bolt are both 195 after all?

That picture of Bolt and Peyton is funny. If it wasn't for Peyton's ridiculously sized head/forehead, it looks like Bolt would be physically taller overall.

On the other hand, Usain Bolt seems to be shorter than Peyton Manning (196cm) Click Here
So, my guess is Jordan is no moore than 194cm. Same height as Usain Bolt. Charles Barkley says he is 195cm, so reckon that's what he is.

I'd say list him at his more accurate measured height, which is 6'4.75".
The thing about this site it's that it list MJ as being taller than Barkley, when it's actually the other way around. Barkley has always been taller than MJ.
MJ is 6'4.75" / 6'4.88" (195cm) barefooted and 6'6" in athletic shoes.
Barkley is 6'5.5" (197cm) barefooted and 6'6.5"+ in athletic shoes shoes.

To be fair, he doesn't ever look 6'4.5". But you guys should realize how massive 6'5" is. Also factor in that alot of shoes give people 1-1.5" gain so if you see a 6'5" man, he'd be 6'6.5" in shoes and would have to duck through doors since most door frames are 6'8".

@Chris Dude just stop the madness. Kobe was never measured at the pre draft camp because he chose to "skip" it. His wife was the one who measured him at 195cm. In person he looks 194cm-195cm. In pictures Kobe Bryant, Charles Barkley both appear to be the EXACT same height as Jordan. All 3 of these guys also have a very similar body type i.e. average legssuper long torso. If MJ is 6'6 then that would make Dennis Rodman over 6'7 and Scottie Pippen over 6'9! Jordan is 194-195, end of story. Quit upgrading people man.

Charles Barkley was well over 6'7 in his police Mugshots. He's almost 6'8 in them. Shoes add about an inch. So Barkley is probably close to 6'7 flat footed. Barkley is about half an inch taller than Jordan in photos. An inch at the very most. It's pretty obvious Jordan is close to 6'6 if not over it

Jordan, in my opinion, is a very strong 6'5" flat. His height was never more deceiving than when he tried to play baseball. His legs are so long, he was so lean (just over 3% body fat in his prime, NOT NOW!) and he has a 7 feet wingspan. Those features made him appear to be much taller than 6'5." As most people know, he also has absurdly large hands. Those huge hands hanging off super long arms also made him appear longer. I remember when he used to rebound basketballs in a full palming motion. Very very few NBA players can come close to doing that. Finally, most of MJ's footwear choices make him look, if anything, shorter b/c they are usually low heels, especially in dress shoes. He's a tall guy, with even taller features, but still noticeably shorter than former similarly sized teammates, Pippen and Rodman. I grew up idolizing this guy but from lawyers that I know in D.C., I hear that he is a straight-up egomaniac jerk. Also, a terrible NBA General Manager and identifier of talent. Ironically, he is the best of all-time on the court but that's about where it ends. His riches are not a fluke but they are nowhere near his creation. Faulk, his agent, is to thank for just about everything. Finally, no accusations toward MJ, because I don't know if this is true at all....but I have heard, from unnamed people in the know, that he read at a 3rd grade level when he got to Carolina. I hope that is not true. Majored in Geography, which is where I heard that UNC puts all of their academically-challenged athletes. Once MJ made the NBA and people realized that he was so good, Nike and the Bulls hired a swarm of people to further educate and polish him up for being a commercial-making, product-selling god. Despite all the bad things I've head about MJ, the kid in me will always idolize him. 6'6" in his frequently worn golf shoes.

Barkley in his police mugshot is nearly 6'8! He was obviously in his shoes. But that means he's obviously 6'6 barefoot. He's probably taller than that in fact.
Jordan is about 0.5 inches shorter than Barkley in most pictures. So he's obviously between 6'5.5 and 6'6

Rob,did Riley lied when he said Jordan was 6'4.5?Actually the more I see the more I think he was a solid 6'5.He towers over almost everybody.Well someone here said he was measured at 6'4.7/8 so maybe this was the true measurement and Riley said 6'4.5?

@Editor Rob: I'm just curious: in comparison, Michael Jordan looks taller by 5'8 listed NeYo than Joe Manganiello does with you. What's the explanation here? Joe being more 195 cm and NeYo nearer 171? Poor camera angles and/or a lack of knowledge on the footwear situation (in Jordan and NeYo's shot)? Jordan being taller than 6'5?

I'm Carl and exactly 6'5 1/2 to 3/4. Am a former college player and have measured this height for last 30 yrs. I just met Kobe at a restaurant in OC on 5/24/14, See pic below. Kopbe looks about 1/2 to 3/4 in shorter than me. So I think he must be almost exactly 6'5" in bare feet. The below photo is proof.

My cousin was a professional basketball players listed 1`94. He saw the 1996 NBA finals live in Chicago and Seattle and told me all players were much shorter than their listed heights. He said Jordan was his height.
IMO Jordan is at least 1`95

I'd say you are in the ball park but every video or photo I've seen with Jordan and Barkley, Barkley is about a half inch taller. If Jordan is 6'5" then that would make Barkley 6'5.5" as he claims he is. If Jordan is 6'4" which is what the olympics measured him at then it would make Barkley 6'4 and 5/8" which is what the olympics measured him at.

Chris are you blind ? Neyo is taller than jordan shoulder level . From the top of the head to the shoulder is 1 feet difference. Neyo is exactly in jordan chin level. That's 9 inches. By the way jordan was never a legit 6'6 in his peak. Infact I don't think he lose any height yet. Young jordan looked taller because he weighted considerable less. Still the same height.

Who cares about Dwade everyone knows that he grew 4inches from his 5'11" hieght his senior year in high school. To what he is listed at with shoes on 6'4". Jordan is 6'4" 1/2 barefoot he also grew about 5 inches from 5'10 to his current height. Who cares about height unless your an athlete and have to perform with it. Everyone else is very very sad in life for arguing hieghts of strangers.

It could have been a discrepancy of some sort. More then likely he was really measured at 6'2.75. There's a reason why his teammates tease him about his height. In reality he's pretty undersized for a 2 guard. To put it in perspective, if he was really measured at that height, they would have him listed at 6'5...

these combine measurements are in the morning and so are the nba pre draft measurements.....morning height is a little off because when you are laying down you are taller due to compression of the spine and most of the day you aren't that height when you get out of bed....gravity makes you lose that height during the day

Only 6'5"? When I see him in pics with other celebrities(non basketball players) he just towers over everyone. He's a head taller than Wayne Gretzky who's official height listing is 6'0" and he's also a head taller than Kevin Kostner who is supposedly 6'1". I still believe he's a legit 6'6".

Rob, is it possible that big guys like Jordan, Barkley and Kobe could lose up to 4cm in a day? It is just mind boggling. MJ was measured 6ft4.88(or somewhere round there) which would make him 195cm evening, yet he looks legit 6ft5, and indeed you upgraded him from 194cm to 196cm. Kobe was supposedly measured 194-195cm(can't remember which) yet clearly is a 6ft5 guy. Barkley I believe is the 195cm he is listed at(though can look taller) so his measurement is legit. But MJ and Kobe are both taller than they're measurements. Could it be they vary more than a regular person? For example, Jenny can drop under 5'8 at night, yet wakes up 5ft9. Could it be Jordan is a guy who measures over 6'6 out of bed and drops to 195cm evening???

MJ is 6' 6", yes, when he wears shoes like everybody else. He has mentioned that Dennis Rodman is half an inch taller in one of the youtube videos, you'd figure the man who has been with Rodman in person from 95-98 with the Chicago Bulls would truly know that for himself. I guess we should tak his word for it and upgrade MJ's height to 6' 6"? if Rodman was listed 6' 6.5" before on this site.

I don't think that he is under 6'5". I think that he is a strong 6'5" guy.He looks .5" taller than Barkley and very close with Larry Jonson.

Taken from the Charles Barkley Thread:
For most Basketball players, take their listed height and remove 1,5 inches and you will have much closer to their true height.
For those that are over 7ft, usually there is not much tampering with their height and they get listed at their true heights.
Example: Manute Bol was 7ft 6.75 in, they listed him at 7ft 7in. Had they listed him at 7ft 9in, Guiness World Records would have refuted it, since they also measured, Mr. Bol.
Basketball players (at all levels) height's are measured first without their shoes and then with them, their listed height is based on their height with shoes rounded to the nearest inch.
In his book, I May Be Wrong but I Doubt It, Barkley states his 6ft 4.75in height. This is consistent with his US Olympic 1992 Measurement, and with his previous statements. Also it is identical to Michael Jordan's measurement and Jordan himself stated in a video that they were the same height.
So at 6ft 4.75in, he is still taller than 99.5% of the world population.

I thought NFL measurements were accurate.He must be a 6'2.5" guy rounded up to 6'3".Yet with Sharapova looks a strong 6'3"(if not more) guy.

Lol!!! This guy Terrell Owens is listed 6'3".Michael Jordan is closer to camera but he is losing height by leaning his head and yet he looks at least 3 inches taller.Anything under 6'5" for MJ is not acceptable.

I met Jordan when he played baseball. We were almost eye-to-eye. I would say he's about 6'4". I'm 6'2". He was listed at 6'3 when he was at UNC.
---
Jordan was sometimes listed at 6'5" at UNC, but never 6'3". Pat Riley is quoted as saying "Did you know that when Jordan was measured he was only 6-4 and a half, not 6-6 the way he's listed?" I think Jordan is somewhere in the 194 - 195 cm range with along with Barkley and Kobe, 6'4.5" - just under 6'5" for the 3 of them.

I'm 6'3'. I met Ray Allen in the Fall of 2011 at a Boston Hotel nightspot. He was with Paul Pierce. Ray Allen is 6'5" while Pierce looks to be 6'6" or 6'7"...both legit heights...

Charles Barkley has also claimed in his book 6-4 3/4 in his stocking feet, and Jordan always looked a similar height.

Michael Jordan & Kobe Bryant must be 6'6'. Over the years, I've seen Jordan and Kobe stand next to Paul Pierce and Ray Allen at the free throw line but obviously at different times and they all look about the same height. I'm 6'3" without shoes. On one ocassion, I met and spoke with Pierce and Allen in Boston. They were both significantly taller than me. Pierce is an easy 6'6", (probably closer to 6'7"), while Ray Allen is a legitimate 6'5". No doubt.

@LeBron6 I've met Ray Allen on two occasions at NYC's infamous Rucker Park. He looked about 6'4. In that picture, although he's standing closer to the camera Kobe still looks taller.
