I'm thinking kobe is a legit 6'5" myself. Seeing him next to other "tallish" celebs he holds his place pretty well. Whether his wife actually measured him at 6'4.75" or not could be irrelevant as she would be far from a professional doing that measurement.

Kobe and Jordan both are about the same height . Kobe himself says the he is in the 6-4 range . Most likely 6-4 3/4 . Like the measurement his wife did .

Michael Jordan is looking like a legit 6-6 in shoes next to Neyo . NeYo is 5-8 or about 5-9 in shoes . I see 9 inches between them . Michael Jordan isn't a legit 6-6 . He is about a inch shorter than Dennis rodman . Rodman is a legit 6-6 or maybe 6-6.5 tall . Jordan is atleast 2 inches shorter than scottie pippen . In person Jordan will look 6-6 to almost everyone . The difference between 6-6 and 6-5 is barely notable .

Rob, have you seen this:
Riley gave me one of those condescending looks he's so good at. "You see," he said, "this is the problem with you media people. You just don't understand basketball. Did you know that when Jordan was measured he was only 6-4 and a half, not 6-6 the way he's listed?"

In the pic with Danny Ainge he has a huge camera advantage and hair that makes him look even taller. in the pic with Drazen Petrovic look at the way mj is standing. and there is only 1 pic with mj and kobe that you can judge height off of, and mj is wearing house slippers and kobe is wearing thick heeled dress shoes. He has atleast an inch on 6'3.75 d wade.

I prefer the 1992 Olympics measurement of 193 cm. He looks no more compared to the european players of the era like Alberto Herreros, Villacampa, Petrovic or Perasovic.

Rob, he has at least 0.25 inches on Kobe who is at least 6'4.75 in this pic that was taken in 1998. And Jordan might be even slouching a bit since his hands are on his hips. Could Jordan be 6'5"+ Since he was always slightly taller then kobe? I think we need an upgrade. This right here is spot on.

Yes indeed, looks about an inch shorter than 6'4" Eli Manning, good catch. Seems the NFL height listings seem to be pretty accurate from what I've seen. If you were to start a page for Phelps the most decorated Olympian in history then I'd go with 6'3".

I think Rob's right, its very difficult to buy anything over 6'3" next to Kobe and Deron. If he is 6'3" tops though a lot of the other swimmers need a downgrade by an inch. Height is tough to call sometimes as in some pics people who are supposed to be the same height look taller depending on angle or footwear/posture and it can baffle you at times. Phelps can look 6'4" but he looks barely 6'3" in those basketball comparison pics.

Its strange Rob as Phelps does have about 2 inches on 6'2" listed Ryan Loche. I've seen a photograph of Prince Harry and Ryan Loche standing barefoot inside a pool and they looked the exact same height, although one cannot rule out slope or one on toes or something but the photograph it looked like one of those side pools which don't slope and are used for parties and chit-chat and stuff. Prince Harry is what, 6'1.5"-6'2"? I saw a pic of him and Kate Middleton recently and thought he looked 6'2". Odd as I thought 6'3.5" seemed spot on for Phelps but Kobe owns him.

Yeah, that can be a problem! Kobe has apparently been measured barefoot at 6'4.75" and I quite believe it as he passes for 6'6". Guys like him, Michael Jordan, Tim Robbins etc who are 195cm all generally look 6'6" which they actually are in footwear. I believe though Kobe is wearing sandals and Phelps barefoot though, if you google Phelps Kobe there should be one where you can see it. But they don't give him much advantage.

Does anyone know if even the nba pre-draft measurements are completely accurate? Because I've noticed some strange things.

Also bear in mind Kobe is closer to the camera. The man is 6'5" if he's lucky.

Scottie, once again if Kobe was 6'6 barefoot he would be listed by the NBA as about 6'8. Look at all the pics I gave, Kobe is absolutely not 2 inches taller than Wade or Jordan. He and his wife have both even admitted on numerous occations that without shoes his measurment was 6'4.75- 6'5.25 in the morning is the tallest he will be barefoot. I showed you several pics that factually prove that Kobe is at best 1 inch taller then Wade.

Derek, if you look at the Olympic photograph(the one where they are all lined up from tallest to shortest) you will see Kobe is at least 2 inches taller than Wade and even taller than the 6-4.75 Michael Redd. In the other photo, where they look almost identical in height, the angle is strange, and the picture is from the waist up. It seems that all the people on this thread who claim Kobe is 6-4.75 are only using pictures to substantiate their claims. I have seen him several times in person at UC-Irvine...I'm about 6-5 in shoes myself and he was 2 inches taller than me. A Staples Center security guard, who is also quite tall (6-4.5 barefoot), also commented earlier on this thread that Kobe is 6-6.

Scottie, Kobe is 6'4.75 without shoes. I don't know why you refuse to accept this. Kobe was obviously not joking when he said his height because has said it many times and was measured at it for the olympics. If Kobe was 6'6 barefoot he would be listed at 6'7 or 6'8 by the NBA. Look at him next to Wade, he is not 2 inches taller at all, barely 1 inch. Also look at him next to Jordan who is also 6'4.75 without shoes, they are almsot identical in terms of height when they are wearing similar footwear.

Kobe has said in his own words many times that barefoot he is not over 6'5. If his barefoot height was 6'6 then his listed height would be 6'7 or 6'8.

Kobe is 6-6 barefoot. I lived in Newport Beach and saw him quite frequently.I'm in the 6-3.5 to 6-4 range barefoot, and Kobe was a solid 2 inches taller than me. If you look in the Olympics pictures (the one where all the players are lined up from tallest to shortest), you can see he has a solid 2 inches on the 6-3.75 inch Dwayne Wade. He is 6-6 barefoot until I see an official measurement from predraft camp that says otherwise. His wife's claim does not count.

Based on the picture linked below of Kobe near Michael Phelps, who's 6'3", Kobe is about 6'6". That would make Michael Jordan about the same height (6'6").

Hey Clay,
i believe you when you say that Wade is roughly 6'4'. But I can guarantee that Kobe is no shorter than 6'5.5'. I'm a strong 6'4' and standing beside him myself, I know this for a fact (He was wearing chucks at the time so it was a pretty fair assessment).I would like to see a picture where Kobe is only 1 inch taller than Wade please. None of the pictures below are a great indication as they're usually photoshopped, different footwear, odd angles,and one person is closer to the camera than the other.
Also, one thing to note is that Kobe has a serious hunch. He's notoriously famous for this, so that's one thing to take into account.
Cheers.

Before Kobe was drafted, at pre draft workouts he was measured without shoes at 194 cm(6'4.37), he was only about 18 then. Recently he was measured again without shoes for the Olympics and his height was 195 cm(6'4.77). He has never been 6'6 barefoot. Even he himself would laugh at that 6'6 claim.

Calvin, Kobe has said on multiple occations that without shoes he's less than 6'5. He was measured without shoes many times not just by his wife and each time it came out to 6'4.75. Look at him next to Wade, they look barely 1 inch apart, if Kobe is at least 6'6 like you claim then Wade would be about 6'5 which I can confirm to you he is not having met him, plus at draft workouts Wade was measured without shoes to be 6'3.75.
NBA regulation basketball shoes add about 1 inch and half to height because of their thick soles(meant to cushion their feet when they land after a jump).

I will say this once and for all Jordan is 6-4 3/4 barefoot. He is 6-6 in shoes. That's why he was listed at 6-6. You play basketball in shoes and you walk around in the street in shoes. If the game were played in feet he would be listed at his height barefoot. Kobe was never listed at 6-8 either. You would hear commentators say he was 6-8 but he's always been 6-6.

Here he is being interviewed by Jim Nantz, who stated his own height at 6'3" in Golf Digest. Given that, Jordan looks just about 6'5", but not more.
And to Angelo, Jordan's got an extra little bump at the crown of his head that adds some height. It's possible for him to be "eye-to-eye" with a 6'4" guy and still be close to 6'5".

Big King why would you want to be 6'7"?? 6'6" is outrageously tall in itself and anything above that things really start to get awkward in public. If you are a legit 6'6" you will be head and shoulders above most of the world population, I can't understand why anybody at 6'6" would even consider that they could be taller as they stand 9 inches above average height unless they are in the NBA, the worlds tallest guys where 6'6" is pretty average.

When Kobe first came into the league he was listed as 6'8. A couple of years ago I noticed that he was listed at 6'7 and I think ok hes just got shaq syndrom. Shaq once was listed at 7'1 as a magic then at 7'2 in LA only to end up at 7'0 in phoenix. Now Kobe is listed at 6'6? Are you kidding. I remember watching Kobe in his first 4 seasons and everytime someone would compare him to Michael Jordan the one thing that someone would always say Kobe had over Michael is height so I don't know where all this is coming from. They list him at 6'6 so he can be more like Michael. Just like hes number 24 cause what comes after 23? Bingo

Anonymous, Jordan is standing closer to the camera and they're never side by side evenly so that's a terrible example. They are the same height of 6'4.75, Kobe's wife even measured him at 6'4.75, not sure if that was during the day or evening but he's not taller than 6'5.

If Jordan is listed at 6,6" w/ shoes on it would only make sense that he's 6,4 3/4 barefoot.

He is a legit 6'6, Phil Jackson, his old coach on the bulls is a legit 6'8 and when he stands next to him he looks the same height, his shoes on the court have to be like a 1 1/2 lift prob, all basketball shoes do, so that would mean at that deficit he would be a legit 6'6.

Well Kobe's wife ACTUALLY MEASURED HIM and she says "6'4.75". Kobe himself says 6'4" or "6-5 in sneaks".
That looks accurate next to Dwyane Wade who was officially measured 6'3.75" as well as Michael Jordan who is said to have been measured 6'4 7/8".
That's enough for me.

Ok Shaq, you seem to be of the combative type, let's not turn this into a pointless quarrel. I will say that I know a few people that are a LEGIT 6 Ft 5 IN and when I bumped into Kobe at Niemen Marcus in Newport Beach, My cousin who happens to be 6'5 was with me.(He was a D -lineman at Cal Poly San Louis Obispo in the early 90's) We all had sandals on (including Kobe) my cousin looked the same height but when he moved right next to Kobe, Kobe appeared to have .5 to an full inch on him. I would scan a picture and post it on here but we didn't have a chance to take one. Just got autographs. I don't know what else to say...

Kobe slouches more than any basketball player around, its very easy to notice and he has even said his posture is horrendous. When he stands correctly he is easily his pegged height. The conspiracy of him under 6'6 or even 6'5.5 needs to end now. This is erroneous and just plain dumb. Here is another pic for all you dedicated doubters.

Michael Jordan is a tall man, but for a basketball player in the NBA he looked average among giants. Taller than some, shorter than some, but he stood up there. He's the GOAT man, no matter what. And his figure made him look pretty tall. He's maybe I think 6-5 or close to it without shoes on so with shoes on yeah 6-6 is about right. I think he's just a lil shorter than Kobe and a tad bit taller than DWade. Theyre all in that 6-4 thru that 6-5 area or close to it.

Duncan I'm pretty sure was measured at 6'10". He was originally listed at 7'0", but about 2-3 years ago, was dropped to 6'11".

I saw a former NC State player recently from around that time (early-mid 80s) that looked his listed height of 6-5. He was actually listed at 6-4 his freshmen year. Might have grown an inch through college.

lillo thomas that makes no sense. How does Jordan being listed 6-5 at UNC make him 6-4 at best at UNC? Not all listings are inflated, some are accurate.
Jordan's exact measurement from 1984 was 6 foot 4 7/8, that's his height. There isn't much of a debate, he's pretty much 6'5".

I'm sure that Jordan got measured 6'6" with shoes. Without shoes, he may be 6'5". He doesn't look tall enough for a NBA player although.

Heights are strange. It depends on the height of the person measuring you...the tape measurer itself...the type of shoes you're wearing? Since the age of 22, I've been measured from 6-0 1/2 to 6-4. From the Army to my doctor's office, to measuring at home, they're all different measurements. I'm a legit 6-3 1/4 barefooted and in dress shoes I'm exactly 6-3 3/4. I've stood next to pro ball players over the years and I can tell you...the guys in that 6-3 to 6-5 range are the same height. Those 6-8 and up to 6-10 are often legit. From 6-10 to 7-0 are exaggerated. Those 7-1 and up are pretty accurate, but if you're over 7-1 it doesn't matter if they list you at 7-3...its all the same. Pros I've been around...
John Starks - Listed 6-5, I'm taller, he's 6-3 maybe (in shoes)
Charles Oakley - Listed 6-9, pretty close...6-8(played against him in college)
Anthony Bonner - Listed 6-8,...6-7 1/4
Julius Erving - Listed @6-6 and 6-7, is 6-7
AI - Listed 6-0, definite 5-11
Majic Johnson - Listed 6-9, saw him up close...6-7 1/2
As for Jordan, my brother met him in the mid '90's. He said he had some "meaty hands" and was taller than him (he is 6-2 1/2) by a couple of inches. So on his best day, in his best dress shoes...he is 6-5, no taller. That makes him about 6-4 1/2 barefooted.

Well then Jordan is close to 6-6 next to Owens because there is a 3 inch difference there. I believe Jordan's 1984 rookie camp measurement of 6-4 7/8 to be accurate but I wouldn't be surprised if he was a little over 6-5.

I believe the 6'4 7/8" rookie camp measurement for Jordan. That sounds very accurate.

Rob, I have a question.
If you listed him at 6-4 3/4 based on a fans word that that's what the Olympics listed him then why didn't you take the fans word who said the NBA measured him at 6-4 7/8?
You said on the Kareem Abdul Jabbar page that you are always aiming for the most exact fraction and 6-4 7/8 would be as exact as you can get.
By the way the poster who said he was listed 6-4 3/4 at the Olympics is wrong. They listed him at 6-4 and I have the links to prove it.
Click Here Click Here
However as you can see the Olympics just knocked 2 inches off every players NBA listed height so what are the odds every NBA player on that team was exactly 2 inches below their listed height?
So as a result as of right now 6 foot 4 7/8 seems like the most accurate listing.

same goes with other no-neck players like amare stoudimere, shawn marion, and elton brand. their short necks (and possibly longer than average wingspans too) make them play an inch or two taller than their listed height because their shoulders at attached at the same level as somebody who's an inch or two taller. a long neck is more like wasted or useless height imo, then again, you could have slightly better vision with a longer neck (but that obviously isn't going to help you much). Dwight Howard's got a short neck and small head so he his shoulders are about as high as somebody who's maybe 6,11" or even 7,0" even though he's only 6,9-6,10".

Thats why Dwight Howard can play as he does (beast in the paint). His long arms make him play like a real 7 footer. Hi's 6'9 - 6'10 with a wingspan about 7'5 now (pre draft say 7'4.5).
There's a picture with Bosh and Dwight standing next to each other. Bosh is at this time 6'10.25, and Dwight about 6'9, but their shoulder height is the same. Pre draft measurements say: 9'1 Standing Reach for Bosh at 6'10.25, 9'3.5 for Dwight at 6'9.
Bosh has what i call a "Weak height" because of his long neck.
You don't use your neck in basketball, don't You...?

unfortunately, i've got a very big/tall head (although my neck isn't particularly long) and even though i've got a good wingspan and not so broad shoulders (6,0") at only 5,9 1/2" barefoot my Standing Reach isn't as high as expected because my big head makes my about an inch taller than i should be. btw, my head looks like it's about the same size as many NBA players (when compared to the basketball) even though i am at least half a foot shorter than them lol.
