i like basketball players with short necks and/or small heads with long arms because they can play so much taller than their listed heights.

Bill is atleast 6'11" and probably over 7'0" in his prime. Bill appears taller than Robert Parish in all the pictures I've seen and Parish is supposed to be 7'0.5"

Kobe does look more like 6'4" flat next to 6'3.75" Dwyane Wade. Click Here Click Here
Kobe has claimed to be only 6'4" and "probably 6'5" in shoes" His wife claims she measured him at 6'4.75" Click Here Click Here
I'd go with the 6'4.75" measurement for Kobe because that puts him right around 6'6" in shoes. The extra inch for the older 6'7" listings is probably because of the small afro he used to have.
Jordan is probably 6'5" or 6'4 7/8" as that one poster claimed he measured at the 1984 pre-draft camp.

It's pretty simple. Jordan's billed height was his height in his Nikes. Most basketball shoes will give you an inch and change. Kobe is essentially the same height. He may be .25 to .5 inch shorter. I wonder where the 6'07" for Kobe came from, seems like a big stretch. I suppose it's easier to do that if you are so much taller than average. I couldn't say I was 5'9" when I'm only 5'6.5" for instance.

Either way, if Bradley is 7'5.5" or 7'6", he's taller than Yao.
It's not that simple.
Bradley was about half an inch taller than Yao in Yao's rookie season when they were back to back but the Rockets Trainer Anthony Falsone says Yao grew from 7'5" to 7'5.75" barefoot and 7'7.25" in shoes sometime before September 2004. Click Here
That looks like a legit claim in these pictures with 7'1.25" Dikembe Mutombo Click Here Click Here Click Here
There is no way that is less than 4.5 inches.
So in reality Bradley was taller than Yao when they met in 2002 or 2003 but from Yao's 3rd season on, Yao was probably taller.

so if basketball players are listed in there shoe height, should strippers be listed in the heels height? then they would be all over 6 foot.

Unofficial measurement meaning a private measurement by the team. The official measurements are from the pre-draft camp.

Of course I meant Jordan is 2 inches shorter than 6'7" Magic. And yes Bradley was measured by the 76ers in 1993. Measured and weighed. His wingspan was even measured below his height.

Bradley was never actually measured at 7'5.5", that "measurement" was only an estimate that seemed reasonable at the time. Bradley is however, a little taller than Yao.
Do you have any links to back up this statement?

3.Shawn Bradley- He was measured 7-5 1/2 and he never grew past that. They just assumed he ended up 7-6 because once again that was his listed height.

by basketball standards if you've got a very small head (vertically wise at least) and almost no neck and ridiculously long arms and hence a very high sitting reach for your height then you are the perfect player proportional-wise. btw, most sites list jordan's height at 6,6" but i think that's with shoes.

I just wish the NBA would be consistent with how they list people. While most players are listed in shoes, a handful of players are listed barefoot and quite a few players are just listed 2-3 inches above their barefoot height like John Starks, Steve Nash and Dwight Howard.
I always thought the in shoes listing was dumb but either way they should list every player one way.

Jordan is a legit 6-6 in shoes. I keep telling people that he may be 6-4 3/4 barefoot which is basically 6-5 and when you add an inch of shoes he is 6-6. Players are listed in their shoe height, why ? Because the game is played in shoes.

This is what a poster said here a few years ago.
"at the 1984 NBA rookie camp, Jordan was measured at 6-4 and 7/8 with out shoes. And weighed in at 196-lbs. So, with his sneakers on, he would have been right at 6-6. he also bulked up to 215-220 lbs in the mid-90's. at his last season with Washington he was 232-lbs."
I did see a pre-draft article that had MJ at 6-5, 197 so it's possible that guy was telling the truth and he mixed up 196 with 197.
If he was measured 6-4 7/8 the pre-draft camp would have rounded him to 6-5 because they don't list players to the exact 1/8.
If the poster who wrote that is reading this then what is your source for the 6-4 7/8 pre-draft measurement?

You guys can be so frustrating. Michael Jordan is without a question, 6'6 inches tall. He has been measured dozens of times and always is listed at 6'6. Besides, in his Hanes commercials he is often standing under a doorway and looks only 1-1/2 inches shorter than the door (standard doorway height is 6'7.5)
Kobe is slightly taller than MJ, and Dwayde is def. not taller than Kobe. Kobe just slouches quite a bit, and Dwayde is slightly above 6'4, no where near the 6'6 1/2 -6'7 of Kobe Bryant GET IT STRAIGHT

I have met and spent time with Jason Kidd, which would mean That I obviously spent some time standing next to him. He is 6-4 in shoes, which is what he is listed by every team he has played for because you play the game with shoes on. When he was measured before the draft in 1994 he measured in at 6-3 barefoot. I am the same height as he is. Pictures are taken at different angles and a lot of times guys are not standing properly.

Sources say that MJ was 5'11" in his sophomore year at high school. He had tried out for a varsity team but was too short. During the summer, he shot up four inches, putting him at about 6'4" or so. Today, MJ is at least 6'5".

Jason Kidd is 6'4, I met him in a store out here in NJ one day and shook his hand. Barefoot, I am 6'1.5. That day I had on my boots, which probably made me about 6'2.5 -6'3, he had on sneakers and towered over me by a couple of inches. (he was probably about 6'5 in sneakers). I was shocked how tall he was in person, cause on the court he doesnt look that tall.

I know Jordan was listed at 6-5 in college. Was he ever listed at 6-6? I dont think he was shorter than 6-5 even at UNC. Maybe a smidge under that his freshmen year or something but basically around 6-5. Id like to know If he was listed at 6-5 his senior year of high school. Probably so.

Yeah, but sometimes even measurements can be wrong. It depends on the quality of the measuring - I came across an article about that. It had examples of college basketballers who had been both over and under-measured -- I'll post it when I see it again.

Well I have a link backing up Shaq's wingspan at 7'7" at his reach at 9'5". A Standing Reach of 9'5" for a man 7'1" with a 7'7" wingspan sounds right. Howard's Standing Reach is so high because his head isn't big so he has the body of a 7 footer but he is only 6'9"-6'10" because his neck isn't long and neither is his head.
BTW 3 years ago ESPN had reported Howard grew nearly an inch and gained 22 pounds so I'll give Dwight 6'9.5" minimum if not 6'10".
Link to Shaq's Standing Reach and wingspan. You'll have to buy the article to read the entire thing but that's pointless because you can see the text about his Standing Reach and wingspan anyway.
Shaq already has a reach of 9-5 and an armspan of 7-7. He's a good leaper, too, and can touch a point on the backboard almost two-and-a-half feet above the

The 35 inch vertical sounds more accurate for Shaq because if his highest touch is 12'4" and his Standing Reach is 9'5" then there you have it. 35" vertical.

I have never heard of a 9'5 Standing Reach for Shaq, that's not much if you think of Dwight Howard when he was draftet. 6'9 and a Standing Reach of 9'4 1/5. Maybe thats fake too. I also thought that Shaqs vertical was 32 inches, and wingspan 7'6.
Some sites say that Howards wingspan is 7'8, but that must be wrong, cause that sounds crazy. When he was draftet it was 7'4 1/4. Does anyone know anything about this?

I have seen a picture on Real NBA Height, where Arenas stands beside Tony Parker, and Arenas is just a little taller than parker who is about 6'1 1/4 so i think the 6'2 1/4 measurement for Arenas is accurate. I agree Mike Zappa, NBA is a joke, its the same thing on the NFL page. Shawne Marriman is listed 6'4 but he is 6'2.
They should be listed barefoot, and accurate, so if someone is 6'4 1/4, he should be listed at that, and not round up or down.
I think the NBA page should list players Standing Reach, cause thats one of the most important thing. For examble Shaq 7'1 Standing Reach 9'8, Yao 7'5 Standing Reach 9'8.

Kidd measured 6-3 at the 1994 pre-draft camp. Do an archive search it will come up. Jordan at 6'4 7/8" makes sense because he usually looks in the 6'4 3/4"-6'5" range.

Over a year ago he called me up to tell me Gary Payton was there so I drove down there to have a beer and check out GP (the best supersonic ever). GP is listed as 6'4" and he seemed every bit of that to me... minimum 6'3" and some change. The point is we all saw GP and MJ together in the 1996 finals and Jordan was clearly taller and broader than Payton. I say Jordan is easily 6'5" !

"Jordan, who is 6' 6 1/2", 201 pounds, emerged last season -- only his second on the varsity -- as merely the finest all-around amateur player in the world."

Obviously the 6'6 1/2" listing would be in shoes and most guards wear shoes that add 1 inch or 1.25". Judging by that MJ is probably 6'5 1/4" or 6'5 1/2" even though the 6'4 7/8" measurement sounds accurate.

Basketball players' heights are usually exaggerated at least an inch, sometimes more. The one time they are not exaggerated is during the NBA draft when they are officially measured without shoes. Michael Jordan was listed as 6'5" when he was drafted. He certainly doesn't look 6'6", but I've never met the guy so I don't know for sure.

The Standing Reach of Vince Carter is absolutely wrong. It's the wron info from jumping jack ad. Guys taller with longer wingspan only got 9'11" reach, such as Rudy Gay and Tyrus Thomas.

I think MJ is at least 6'5" tall.

Pippen never measured at 6-8 as a rookie. He was listed at 6-7, 210lbs roughly the first half of his career, then 6-7, 228 the rest of his first period with the bulls. It wasn't until he joined the blazers well into his 30s that he was listed at 6-8. Bird said of himself that "I am 6-9, close to 6-10 on a very good day (laughs)"... Think it was in '92 during the Olympics on Magic being confronted with being clearly shorter than Bird although they were listed at the same height... whether Bird was referring to with or w/o shoes I do not know.

lol basketball players aren't always measured with shoes. Shaq is 7'1" barefoot and 7'2.75" in shoes yet he is listed 7'1". Kevin durant measured 6'9" barefoot and 6'10.25" in shoes yet he is listed 6'9" Vince Carter measured 6'5.5" barefoot and 6'6.75" in shoes and he is listed 6'6". There are many more examples too. Hell desmond Mason was measured 6'6" barefoot and 6'7.25" in shoes yet he is listed 6'5"!

its true that michael could be 6.4.75 because in the nba hes known as 6.6 michael 6.4.75 "bearfoot" with sneakers on would measure 6.5.75 i think that in the nba they round it to the nearest height so thats why hes listed at 6.6 but i doubt that hes 6.6 in normal height.

Your all overestimating MJs height on this thread. I have heard numerous times that mark of 6'4"3/4 but 6'3"3/4 or 193cm is much more accurate, because basketball players are always measured in their footwear.

By the way the 6'4.75" measurement may have not been an actual measurement. The Olympics often knocks off 3 cm/ 1.25 inches when they don't actually measure the player. The 6'4 7/8" is more accurate. Scottie Pippen was listed 6'5 3/4" at the Olympics because he wasn't measured.

196 is more accurate. Everyone thought Kevin Durant would be about 190-200 pounds but he weighed in at 215. These guys are so tall that they weigh more than most people think. Kobe Bryant entered the league at exactly 6'5" and 199 while T-Mac was 6'6.25" and 205 pounds. Jordan was similar in height and weight to them.

I have found a link which state that Jordan was measured in Chicago 84 to be 6'4 7/8 barefoot and weighed in at 196 lbs. If you look at the USA Olympic site it said he was 199 lbs. This is contrary to many books Ive read saying he entered the NBA rail thin at only 185 lbs.

Well... A friend of mine was 175cm (5'7) at the age of 12! He was a giant! We´re both grown-up now and he´s just as tall as me (183cm or 6'0). I was 155cm at the age of 12. My friend had to leave the basketball team because of his height (the guys were too tall). You can not predict final height from the date of birth and the present height.

I had the honour to meet MJ in Milan last year, I was with a frient of mine who plays basketball and is 1,99 cm tall, he was slightly taller than MJ when he passed by us, I assume no more than an inch, but MJ had normal shoes and my friend had sportshoes, so I think 6-5 (195,5cm) is the right height of him.

When you're 6'7 or over, I'd guess you'd be wrongly estimated at 6'9, pretty easily Viper. I'd imagine you'd have to be at least 6'5 to estimate the difference between heights of those extremes.

In Barcelona '92 he was measured as 203 cm. (6'8"). He's clearly taller than Magic but I don't know if Larry is as big as 6'9"... My guess is 204 cm

6-2_Baskman I agree with you but I think Magic was about 201 or 202 cm (6'7.5") barefoot and 205 (6'8.75") in shoes and so for everybody 6'9" the "tallest point guard in the nba" but as everybody can see there are at least 2 inches between him and Bird listed also at 6'9" (more than legit).
As for Gasol I believe he is 214,5 cm tall but his brother Marc is really 215 cm I think he is more 212 or even less after seeing them standing face to face

Most NBA players are listed with wrong heights. Their teams or publicists give them 4 or 5 extra centimeters. In 1987, Fernando Martín, a good spanish player (now deceased) played in Portland Trail Blazers. In Spain, he was always listed as 204 cm. (6'8.25"). His NBA team listed him as 6'10"... ¡4 cms more than his real height!. In european leagues are playing a lot of american players and after they cross the ocean, their height decrease between 3-6 cms (1-2 inches, more o less). Few years ago, Magic came to Spain for a promotional tour and he appeared in many pictures next to Epi (a legendary spanich player) who is a solid 6'6" (198 cm) but no more. Magic is only a half inch taller so he´s 199 or 200 cm tall max.(6'6.75"). NBA is spectacle and a form to increase it is exagerating heights. By the way, Pau Gasol was measured in Spain as 214,5 cm barefoot (7'0.35" more or less). This is absolutely accurate and he confirmed it during an interview for the spanish TV. People in Spain isn't as short as you think. Nowadays the average is 177 cm. (5'9.05"). I,m 6'2" (188 cm.) and I,m beginning to feel short in this country.

Kobe is 6'6 1/2" with shoes that is correct but Vince Carter is 6'5 1/2" BAREFOOT I have the pre-draft measurement if you don't believe me. Jordan was also listed 6'6 1/2" in an old sports illustrated(Probably in shoes height and he is the exact same height as Kobe). Also not every player is listed in shoes..some are listed barefoot heights like Kevin Garnett, Shaq, Shane Battier, Richard Jefferson ect.

I'm 6'3 1/2" or slightly taller with shoes,6'2 1/2" w/o shoes
size 12.5 to 13 shoe
wingspan 6'4"
Standing Reach height: about 8'
MJ IS 6'4.75" WITHOUT shoes!
Most shoes,even basketball shoes add exactly 1 inch to your barefoot height (unless u have a giant foot like Shaq!).I wear Nike B-Ball Shox,even they add exactly one inch!A rare exception of more than an inch is my bro's Nike Running Shox.He's only 5'9 1/2" barefoot,but he's about 5'11" with them on!
All athlete's listed heights r with shoes ON,even in hockey!U can witness this even in video games with many players being edited year-to-year,listing estimated heights at the nearest half-inch.
Many of the B-Ball players listed here r "half-sizes"!
WITH SHOES ON:
Barkley is still lucky if he's 6'5 1/2 or EVEN 6'5" period!(...He's a fat boy!)
Jordan is 6'5 3/4"!(Note)but b/c of age,he's probably now 6'5 1/2" or shorter.
Vince Carter: 6'5 1/2"
Kobe: 6'6 1/2"
Many players like Jason Kidd r about 1/2 inch shorter than listed!He's really my size!Last,I once knew a kid at b-ball camp who was only 6'5"+,and a huge,bulky 250 lbs and had a 9' Standing Reach!!!He was Only 15 Years Old!!!

Actual heights of the members of the Team USA Olympic basketball were released, and they're lower than those in the NBA Register.
Player List Actual
Charles Barkley 6-6 6-4
Larry Bird 6-9 6-7
Clyde Drexler 6-7 6-5
Patrick Ewing 7-0 6-10
Magic Johnson 6-9 6-7
Michael Jordan 6-6 6-4

Karl Malone 6-9 6-7
Chris Mullin 6-7 6-5
Scottie Pippen 6-7 6-5
David Robinson 7-1 6-11
John Stockton 6-1 6-0
Obviously that is BS because there is no way Karl Malone is 6'7", Robinson is 6'11", Bird is 6'7" or Pippen is 6'5". For the dream team here are my best estimates
Michael jordan 6'4 - 6'4 3/4
Larry Bird 6'9"
Magic Johnson 6'7 1/2"
Scottie Pippen 6'7"
Patrick Ewing 6'9 3/4"

Its quite debatable whether those measurements are legit, dwyane wade is a hair under 6'4" and has a long wingspan,has a recorded 8'6" reach. Which i beleive is at the high end for sommeone 6'4".

Viper, it's the combination of being 6'5" and having wingspan close to 7'.
Someone like Iverson also has wingspan well beyond his height.
Someone like Nate Robinson is short at 5'7.5" but he has wingspan of 6'1".
It’s common for NBA players to have proportionally bigger wingspans. Anyone in the NBA who has wingspan equal to their height is considered to have short arms, for example Yao Ming.
These days basketball scouts don’t just look at height when they are considering a players physical attributes, they consider their arm length and reach as well because there are cases like Ben Wallace who is short for a centre but because of his long arms he can still rebound and block shots.
Scouts sometimes use the following terms in regards to a player’s wingspan to height ratio, Condor (long arms) and T-Rex (average or short arms)

Big Ben where did you get these measurements?
Jordan is 6'4", standing vertical leap was 42", wingspan 6'11", Standing Reach 8'10", highest touch 12'5".
Kobe 6'4", standing vertical 38", wingspan 6'11", Standing Reach 8'10", highest touch 12'0".
Vince Carter is 6'5", standing vertical leap 43", wingspan 7'0", Standing Reach 8'11", highest touch 12'6".
End of discussion
I know for a fact Carter was measured 6'5 1/2(197cm) I have a link to the pre-draft measurement. Did you mean Kobe and Jordan are 6'4 1/2 or 6'4 3/4? I'd believe that.

Jordan can look as short as 6'4" in some pics. Does'nt mean he's just 6'4" flat though. He's no taller than 6'5" at the absolute max though.

Regardless of how tall he is he will always be the greatest ball player ever. In my opinion i think 6'4.75 is a little off. Hes gotta be at least 6'5.5.

Jordan looks way taller than Kobe in that first pic (well over an inch), not so much taller in the second, and they look the same height in the last. Pics are deceiving ..... I think both are close to 6'5".

Met him three times. He's 6' 5" dead on rookie year & 20 years later. He's listed 6' 6" which is typical stat crap. Correct about Melo: he's 6' 6". Rodman is a weak 6' 7". I saw Shaq in a Sunset Strip parking lot. His posse looked too mean to get close to...I'll say this, he's like a big bear on his hind legs: Giant.

i think when it comes to long wingspans and low Standing Reaches, and vice versa, you have to consider whether a player has long arms and/or broad shoulders. for example, you could have two guys with 6'10" wingspans, but one had longer arms and the other had broader shoulders. the guy with longer arms will have a higher Standing Reach than the guy with broader shoulders. but then you can also factor in huge hands and how long the guys neck is too...

It is said that MJ was 5'9" at one point in varsity high school ball, 6'4"+ as a senior in college, and that he grew to 6'6" in his first couple of pro years. I do know that he was taller than Barkley even though they're listed the same on this site. There is a famous shot of him rubbing Barkley's head on the court to tease him about his shortness.

GP may only be about 6'2. Ray Allen is listed by the NBA to 6'5, but he is no more than 6'3.5 So they get 1-2 inches with shoes. I'm 6'4.5, I would be listed as 6'6 or maybe 6'7 by NBA. Thats crazy, i think they should measure players barefoot heights, so their would be know doubt. All that guessing makes me sick.

I agree, Jason. I really doubt that Payton is 6'2 3/4 barefoot. Kidd measured 6'2 3/4, barefoot, before he was drafted so that should be correct. GP is probably not over 6'2 to 6'2 1/2 barefoot.

More likely Kidd isn't quite 6'2 3/4''. The 2000 Olmypics, from what I recall, just seemed to knock off *exactly* 3cm from each NBA player's listed height. In fact, I'd wager that's probably what they did. They also had Gary Payton at 190cm come to think of it, and I don't think he's that...

It's NOT THIS DIFFICULT jordan was measured at 6'4 3/4 barefoot making him about 6'6 in shoes. It's that simple. 6'4 3/4 is about as tall as Jordan could measure from what I understand and I am a big NBA follower and have always looked at all the NBA pre draft measurements for a number of year. In short, NBA players on average are listed 1 to 1/5 inches taller than their barefoot heights. There are a few exceptions on each side as occasionally someone will list his height within a 1/2 inch of barefoot height to the other extreme such as Boston Celtic guard Delonte West who measured 6'1 1/2 barefoot and is listed at 6'4 giving him an extra inch even above what shoes would put him (6'3). Jordan is right around 6'4 1/2 to 3/4 barefoot and 6'6 and shoes without question. Carmelo Anthony was measured at 6'6 1/4 barefoot (6'8 listing) and Lebron 6'7 1/4 barefoot (also 6'8 listing)
It's NOT THIS DIFFICULT jordan was measured at 6'4 3/4 barefoot making him about 6'6 in shoes. It's that simple. 6'4 3/4 is about as tall as Jordan could measure from what I understand and I am a big NBA follower and have always looked at all the NBA pre draft measurements for a number of year.

Some of those pics Marbury appears to have close to 4 inches on Iverson but I have also seen pics where Marbury is less than 2 inches taller than Iverson.
Jason Kidd does look deceptively small in those pics but he is still closer to 6’3” than 6’2”

i originally thought that 2 inch inflation in nba are the minority with most
players being inflated 1-1.5 inches on average but it seems that 2 inch inflation are very common in the nba , many players more that i thought are in reality 2 inches shorter . if i and my brothers play in the nba we if we want
would be listed at 6'6 , 6'8 and 6'7 to inches taller than our real heights.

I think Jason Kidds heights is right (6'2 3/4), but Iverson has to be a little taller. Look at the picture with Marbury and AI. I think Iverson is 5'11 to 5'11.5

Not sure i am buying everything this Lebron poster has to say e.g. he says Jason Kidd is 6'2 3/4 and Allen Iverson is 5'10" and posts two pictures on page two of that forum which shows nowhere near 5" between the two.

That Lebron poster on that forum is amazing. He seems to know every NBA players height with all of the evidence to back it up. But a lot of those Standing Reaches seem like such utter BS.

Maybe it could be the hight of the shoulders that makes a different. One of my friends from my basketballteam is exactly the same height as I (6'4.5), and he has a little shorter wingspan than mine, but his shoulders is 3 inches higher, and therefore he reaches 2 inches more than i do.

Right, a Standing Reach of 8-10 for a guy who is 6-8 is more beleivable, but that is still incredibly long at that height. There was a player at this years draft camp who is 6-8 and has an incrdible wingspan of 7-6, yet only has a Standing Reach of 8-8? That doesnt make any sense.

I know it sounds crazy Viper. I got the stats from a friend who send it to me. Its from a website that is closed now. I agree that it has to be shorter than 8'10, even though he has long arms. One of my friends has a Standing Reach of 8'10, but he is 6'7.5 I have seen some of the pre draft measurements, and some of the players that has a Standing Reach of 8'10, is around 6'5 and taller. So jordan, kobe and vince probably have their standing reasches a few inches shorter. Below here is the stats from the website.

Yao Ming
According to the Houston Rockets strength and conditioning coach, Anthony Falsone, he is still growing. Falsone says Yao was 7' 5" tall without shoes on (7' 6 1/2" with shoes) in October of 2002, but that by September of 2004, he had grown to 7' 5 3/4" in height barefoot, and to 7' 7 1/4" in height with shoes on.
At the 2004 Summer Olympic Games in Athens, Greece, he was listed as having a 7' 5" wingspan, a 9' 8" Standing Reach, and a size 18 shoe US.
His team media guide profile in China, stated that Yao had a 26 inch vertical leap, jumping from a standstill. However, Yao himself has said since then that two foot injuries he suffered since that time, lowered his vertical leap after this by about 4 to 6 inches.

Im starting to think Kobe is more 6-4. He looks the same height as Dwayne Wade in this height comparison thread. Click Here Big Ben, how can you have a Standing Reach of 8-10 at 6-4? Thats mind boggling. Even If Jordan has very long arms thats still hard to beleive. My Standing Reach is 8-0 or a little shorter at 6-3.

I give MJ max 6'5 barefoot. In some pictures he does look taller than other, and in most of them, there are someone who is leaning forward or not standing straight op, so its hard to tell.

Well in my pic where the three are all standing together MJ is roughly 1.5-2" shorter than both Rodman and Pippen. If Rodman is just 6'6 barefoot then MJ is max 6'4.5"

Yeah ... I think they're about the same height. Pippens fro and the angle is clearly an issue. Maybe give Pippen an inch on him.

6'5 barefoot is Jordan real height either 196 cm
6'6,25 barefoot is Rodman's height either 199 cm
6'7 barefoot is Pippen' height either 201 cm
With basketball shoes they reach in order 6'6 for MJ (198) which is also the official nba measure; 6'7 (201) for rodman and 6'8 (203) for pippen even thogh rodman was listed several times they were listed inverted (rod at 6'8 and pip at 6'7)
