anonymous you are in denial or blind because if you watch the pic very carefully
pippen is clearly 2 inches taller than mj. Look at the shoulders and the eyes.

a friend of mine at 6ft3 bumped into him last time he was in Paris. According to him, MJ is huge. But he didn't really mention his height, it was more his broad shoulders he found impressive, which can very well mislead about his true height (there was the same kind of debate about Wilt Chamberlain).after seeing all your pictures, he can't possibly be be taller than Chuck, or only a tad. And knowing how they measure nba players (round up the bare foot height, and then add an inch), the listed height seems just about right!

Jordan being shorter would make what he did even more impressive but considering Pippen's hair I don't see over 2 inches

Annonymous,
It seems you are the only one who thinks Pippen is not taller by more than 2 inches in that picture. Just take a look at their shoulder even Pippen was leaning a bit. Maybe you are blinded by your too much love to your hero, Jordan.

Jordan could be as low as 6'4 and as high as 6'5, depending on how big his sneakers were when he got measured. He really doesn't look as short as 6'4 to me. I think he's gotta be like 6'5.

NBA players very often list themselves a tad taller than they actually are (for one reason, the taller they're perceived the more financially marketable they are). For most players, you can best estimate their real height by subtracting an inch or so from their listed height. Based on these comments, I guess that's even true for King Jordan.

some people can look shorter or taller than they really are it just depends
of the body frame. in the case of jordan i asume that he is about 6'5 until
i see him in person because most players in nba are listed in their height in shoes.

Michael Jordan is 6'5 1/2. Because Scottie Pippen is 6'7 1/2 & pippen is every bit of 2 inches taller then Michael Jordan. Dennis Rodman is slightly under 6'7 and is about 1 inche and 1/2 over Michael Jordan. So it's safe too say Michael Jordan's height is about 6'5 or 6'5 1/2, but no shorter or taller then that

MJ is 6-5 exact(barefoot). I saw a pic of him standing next to kobe. Kobe is about a quarter of an inch taller than Jordan. I guess kobe is 6-5 1/4 barefoot then.

keep in my i'm 6'4 so 6'5 in shoes, if he is 6'5 then 6'6 with shoes.
guess it makes sense.

I bumped into Michael Jordan at a Starbucks on L St, N.W. about four years ago now--the period of time when he was with the Wizards, whatever that was. To my shock, and the shock of those with me, I was exactly the same height as the man himself--possibly even a hair taller. I am exactly 6'4.5", and we were both wearing leather-soled dress shoes. There is no way on God's green earth that he is the 6'6" he was listed at in the NBA. The 6'5" of his college stats seems more reasonable....

I agree with A_Guy. If he was indeed 6'4, then the fact that he dominated everyone in the league and is that much more impressive.
I work for ISU Athletics and about a month ago Doug Collins (former Bulls coach) came down for the bradley game. Doug is a solid 6'6. 'Old school' 6'6 you might say and in pics MJ looked about in hair shorter than Doug and Doug himself told me that Michael was more 6'5 than 6'6 but close enough.

I believe that he is 6'4" or 6'5". I discovered this page because I wondered if people noticed that he isn't 6'6" as well. I remember that when he returned to basketball during the mid-nineties, I was shocked at how small he appeared, even when he stood near players who were listed at 6'6". If he is 6'4", his accomplishments are only that much more impressive.

I saw many bulls games in the past never looked to me any difference, they are in the same range of height, perhaps dennis got 1cm on scottie or two. In shoes they are in the 6'8' mark.°_°

i don't know if anyone saw the michael jordan celebrity golf invitational on tv the other day but one of the scenes had jordan standing next to tom brady on a level ground and he was easily an inch taller than him. brady is legit 6'4 (he supposely measured at 6'4.25 at an nfl camp) and jordan clearly had at least an inch on him. if jordan is really 6'4.5 like some of you claim him to be, i don't think there would have been much of a height differential at all. i am not saying jordan is 6'6, but my guess is that he has to be at least 6'5. too bad i can't provide at photos to prove my point but i am just reporting what i saw.

Duhon maybe you didn't realize that Kobe, Carter, Dominique and dr.J are all on the same line while Jordan is a bit more forward than them and to me left to right
6'4", 6'5", 6'7", 6'6" and 6'4" but as I say almost everytime: it's just my personal modest opinion!Most likely I'm wrong since I've never been in the states or even met one of these men in person. The only thing I did I spoke about two years ago with an italian nba commentator and asked him how tall are MJ and Shaq and he answered me: 214 cm for Shaq and then he said to me exactly that Jordan is between 190 cm and 195 cm about 192-3 cm cause he saw him in person more than once

I will say this again. My cousin was a professional basketball player, listed 1`94. And I can tell you he is that tall; I am still surprised at how tall he looks to me everytime I see him. He attended NBA finals in 1996 and he had the chance to see most of the players. He told me they were all much shorter than what he expected. He said Jordan was his height. That means in my opinion that Jordan was probably a tad taller but never shorter than him. I think Jordan is 1`95. To say MJ is 1`92 makes no sense to me. He towered over Morgan Freeman and Freeman is still close to 1`88 this days. 1`95 for Jordan seems accurate to me.
Talking about other guys: Robinson looked at least 2`13 next to at least 2`18 Arvidas Sabonis. In 1986 World Championship he was listed 2`11 but he didn´t look 7 or 8 cms shorter than Sabonis. Ans remember Robinson entered College at 2 meters. He still grew afterwards

Well, we have to remember that, when he was on Chicago Bulls, he was announced as 6'6''. That may tell us something...

it's very difficult to say the real height of a man by photos. iam 6'1 but in some photo can seem 6'3' in other 6'0' etc. But to say jordan 6.3 it's insane cmon guys jordan at minimum will be 195/96cm! max 198cm not more not less

Legend Stopper, on what you base MJ is 6`4 and Steve Francis 6`1 1/2? Have you been close to both of them? Have you seen the video of Charles Barkley with Nirvana?
I have said this before: it is absurd to discuss heights when talking about basketball players. MJ is, according to you, two inches shorter than listed. It makes no sense. Remove one inch from the official height. MJ is 6`5

195 cm is the best estimate for Jordan, I think all the picture evidence 194 cm min and 196 cm max. I think He's also a fraction of an inch taller than Barkley.

Yes, i agree with the editor and with Doug. Michael Jordan is 6'4.75'' .And after have watched some more games of the "Dream Team" i'm 99.9% convinced that Jordan and Barkley have the same height, when they are together is impossible to distinguish who's taller...also Jordi Villacampa (Spain) and Drazen Petrovic (Croacia) are easily seen as at least as tall as Michael, sometimes they seem a bit taller...

I've just watched the Spanish broadcast of some USA games in the 1992 Olympics at Barcelona and at the beginning of each game, when in the screen appears the initial line up, it is given the height of the players and, well, it seems that the American players were measured there in Spain...Michael Jordan height appears as 1.95m (which equals 6'4), so at least for me, Michael is definitively 2 inchs "shorter" than its listed NBA height. cheers

Don't sometimes the basketball is only listed an inch above his barefoot height? I know some sneakers will only give an inch rather than 1.25-1.5 inches.
For example a guy who is 6'1 is 6'2 in sneakers they'll just list him at 6'2. Say if he's 6'1 barefoot then 6'2.25 in sneakers, now would he be listed at 6'2 or 6'3? I know they would round up but 6'2.25 is closer to 6'2 than 6'3.
Jordan I believe could very well be 6'5 barefoot and just listed an inch over his barefoot height. He does look a solid 6'5 guy.

HF: Agree to a certain point. But if you check recent year's rookie measurements, I came to the conclusion that the tallest a player measured at 6-7 is, is 6-6, that is, an inch shorter... a list of players measured at 6-6.5 (1,99m) wo shoes (Carmelo Anthony, Udonis Haslem, Adam Morrison, Ike Diogu) are all listed at 6-8 (2,03)... it seems to be trend to give a player his with-shoe-height, which in most cases seem to be an inch, and then round up.. it also depends which shoes the player is wearing, socks, insoles, etc... think I posted the NBA's policy on rounding up some time ago..

Hi
i don't know if anybody here has the "Ultimate Jordan" 2xDVD set, or more exactly the Jordan documentary "Air Time". I was watching it and suddenly there is a piece on the Dream team in the 1992 Olympics where Jordan and Barkley and just side by side chatting and i think it's almost the proof that those two guys have the same height. Charles looks sometimes not so tall maybe because he's much more "large" than Jordan. Everybody who owns the video can check what i'm saying by searching the images correspondent to the instants 41 minutes and 29 seconds. I have also a magazine, "Pro Basketball - The 50 Greatest", where it say that the real height (they use the word "real") of Barkley is 6'4. I bet that Jordan has at the most 1.96m. Please check the video.

Height Freak said on 12/Nov/06
On the full body pic with Barcelona football star Ronaldinho (who´s for certain 1.80m/1.81m tall), Jordan looks around 18 to 20 cm taller than him.
There´s certainly more accuracy in meters/centimeters than feet/inches, no every players height in feet and inches is exactly that. I know the NBA sets player´s height within a certain range: for example, a 6´6" player can be anyone who is in between 1.97m and 2.00m tall. So the height 6´6" has a this kind of range: <1.97m-1.98m-1.99m-2.00m> ()
But then again sometimes a player who is 2.00m tall can be set to 6´7", just because 2.00m is close enough to 2.01m. This is the reason for the so called "legit" and "non-legit" feet and inches heights. You never really know until you see the player in real life or in pic next to a person who you really know their height.
About the pic with Marco Materazzi (listed at 193cm), I´m not certain. I´ve seen Materazzi next to fellow italian goalkeeper Francesco Toldo (1.95m/1.96m) and they´re pretty much the same height, so perhaps Materazzi is slightly taller at 1.94m or 1.95 m. So in that case Jordan would be a legit 6´6" guy (probably on the short side of the range).
@mask
About the video, it seems that MJ himself doesn´t know for sure how tall Charles is! At the start of the video he mentions 1983 and refers to Barkley at about 6´"6. Then, he talks again about 1983 and talks about 6´4" (both Barkley and him). Later on when talking about Barkley guarding Kevin McHale he mentions (6´4"/6´5") and finishes metioning "A 6´5" guy".
1983--> A long time ago. I know that both Jordan and Barkley grew an inch (more or less) from their sophomore year at college to their rookie year at the nba. So I wouldn´t say that 6´6" is inaccurate for MJ.

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.

Viper652, I guess I could have been off an inch or so on certain players, as most of the time I only got to meet them for a few seconds. But I can tell you for a fact that Ben Gordan was not 6'1. Maybe 6'0 but definitely not a full 6'1. I'm exactly 6'1 and he was for sure shorter than me.
P.S. Thanks for the link. Those NBA players sure have long arms! My wingspan is only 2 inches taller than my height. Some of those guys have wingspans 7-8 inches longer!

I saw Michael in Newport Beach, CA walking along the beach barefoot and he was only 5'10" MAX. It's obvious his Jordan's give him an extra 2" and then he wears 4-5 inch lifts in those to give him his guestimated height. I saw him later that evening at an outdoor barbeque. He was wearing platformed flipflops. He was marginally taller than me at around 6'0" flat. You guys have to re-assess your estimations of him and his height needs to be corrected on this site. One of the best-kept secrets in 20th century sports.

I met Michael 6 times while be played baseball & shook hands once, and I'd guess he was taller than 6' 5", but figure in his shoes & 6' 5" might be close. Fun to watch him unfold himself from his sportscar.

My ex-girlfriend works for the Nike's Advertisement Department and I was lucky enough to meet a lot of NBA players before we broke up. I'm not sure how tall Jordan is...I met him 2 years ago but couldn't get a true grasp because it happened so fast and I'm only 6'1. I can definitely say he's taller than 6'4. But the NBA absolutely overstats the height of a lot of their players. For example, I met Bobby Jackson a few years back when he was on the Kings and he was noticably shorter than me. He's listed at 6'1 and I would say he's more about 5'10.5 or 5'11 at the most. I met Devon Harris of the Mavs just a couple months back and he is not taller than 6'0 even though he's listed at 6'3. Ben Gordan of the Bulls seriously seemed to be around 5'11...and he's listed at 6'3 also. I was really surprised at how short he was when I met him in NYC. I could be off an inch or so but he was definitely shorter than me. Mike Bibby seemed a legit 6'1 though...I met him at a niketown earlier this summer.

Come on Louie that pic you have isn't an accurate showing of how tall Jordan is. Just look at their feet. The camera angle makes it look as if Rodman's feet are about 4 inches above Jordan's which obviously isn't the case. So obviously because of the camera angle this is not evidence we should use to determine Jordan's real height. All the times I've seen them close up Jordan looks close to Rodman's height so I'd say 6'5" isn't a bad guess if Rodman is really 6'6".

All the times I've seen them close up Jordan looks close to Rodman's height so I'd say 6'5" isn't a bad guess if Rodman is really 6'6".

Jordan is obviously 6'4.5" - 6'5", just look at all the picture proof. He looks 2" shorter than Pippen, at least 1" shorter than Rodman, and 5" shorter than Bird.

You overestimated Rodman by an inch Brad. That is easy to do for a guy as tall as Rodman. A legit 6-6 guy can look 6-8 easily to a lot of people.

Kobe could be 6'5 and change. My friend is actually anywhere from 6'5-6'6, closer to 6'6 I am pretty sure of. When I see him I'd think Kobe would be at least the same height. when you get to 6'5-6'6 its tough to tell the difference.

The NBA listed Kobe as 6'7'' once, which is not true, and Dennis Rodman was 6'7'', definitely not 6'6''. This is the only website that says that MJ is 6'5''. I will never be convinced that he is. He's definitely taller than John Corbett who's listed as 6'5''. I mean come on, it's Michael Jordan. He's been listed 6'6'' ever since he started playing basketball in the NBA. Every website agrees with me.

Man MJ is 6'6'' legit. Pippen was always taller than Jordan, and if I remember correctly, he always looked taller than Michael. The height difference depended on the camera angel you saw them in. MJ was Kobe's height when they played each other too.

If every one would take a look a the olympic photo's, you can clearly tell Jordan's as big as chris mullin ( listed at 6'7") and bigger as Clyde ( listed at 6'7"). so i geuss all players are about 6'5".

He showed up to sign stuff at a Footlocker store in Aurora Colorado his rookie year. He was the same height as me 6'5". Not long after I ran into him in Vegas, yeah, 6'5" again.....then Vegas again almost 20 years later, yeah 6'5". Kobe is the one that is surprisingly taller than you'd expect.

To 6'5 project dude- First of all I did measure myself correctly and I am 6'4 5/8. Your theory of MJ being 6'5 1/2 is obviously wrong because MJ is smaller than myself. You say you see him like every week, somehow I find that hard to believe so I doubt the validity of your story! Just accept the fact that Jordan is under 6'5. I don't know what you keep crying about. If he did what he did at about 6'4 instead of 6'6 how much more of a better player does that make him? As Jordan's measurement was in dress shoes and I was in Running Sneakers I would put Jordan at about 6'4 1/2!

I just measured myself without shoes. I call myself 6'5 but I just measured 10 minutes ago at 6'4 5/8. I put a pencil on the top of my head and made a mark on the wall. I did it several times to make sure the pencil was level. I saw Clyde Drexler in Kansas City Airport and I was in a line right behind him. He was atleast an inch or 2 taller than me. The Vegas Statue deal is crap and I told them so. The manager took me over to a mark on a wall in red ink. He said that it was Jordan's and that he was wearing dress shoes. It was shorter than me by atleast an inch but I had on Running sneakers. I'm quite confused.

Jordan and i played a game of bball a couple of years, and i'm 6'5, and he was bout a good half inch over me, he still got them ups, i also seen his son there to. Poor kid didn't inherit his pops tall genes, the kid's prolly 5'10-5'11, i also saw that jordan has pretty small feet for his size, he wears a size 13, i mean he should be atleast a size 14. So my verdict is that jordan's 6'5 and 1/2

Players sometimes exaggerate their heights in order to play in a cetain postion, e.g Cahrles barkley listed himself st being 6'6 and even 6'8 even though his true height is 6'4.5. This is because he wanted to play power forward.

Guys wat ur all forgetting about is the effect perspective and camera angle has on many of the photos listed below. if jordan is behind pippen its obvious jordan is gonna appear to be a lot shorter, the only true way u can say how tall he is if u have them side by side and they're standing at their full height and not leaning or bending down, only then can u truly estimate how tall they r.

Yes, if Jackson is 6'8" Jordan looks 6'5" or 6'5.5". But next to 6'9" Larry Bird he looks more like 6'4", maybe 6'4.5", but definantly not more. I think 6'4.5", maybe 6'4.75 would be accurate.

Howard Stern posed with Magic Johnson both were the same height!....BUT Stern claims 6'5"....and made more than a few asides about Magic "fibbing". Jordan looks 6'4" flat, Bird (met him face to face twice)a really solid 6'8". It's funny when the Klitschko boxing brothers were on TBDSSP only John Salley didn't really get up noticably to greet them...perhaps he would appear a little too close for comfort to their honestly stated heights 6'6.5" & 6'8.25" when he claims 6'11+"?

The more I look at the dream team picture, the more I see 6'4" even next to 6'9" Larry Bird. He is below the eye level of Bird, (eye level is about 4.5".) To me he looks 6'5" in the first picture with Jackson, and 6'5" and change in the second. I still think he is 6'4.5" though.

HEY!!! Michael Jordan looks short but he is 6' 6" 1.98 meters!!! He gave me an autograph and he also said that his height is 1.98 meters!!! Guys, wake up!!! Some guys are f.E.: 6' 5" (196 cm) tall and look taller, other guys are also 6' 5" tall and look shorter. The reason is the neck length.

it looks from the olympic photo that larry legend is a legit 6-9, or over 6-10 with shoes on. no wonder he can shoot over people without jumping, especially the almost impossible off balance turnaround set shot he often drops on his defenders.

MJ is clearly shorter than Pippen(right) by at least 2 inches and taller than John Paxson by 2 inches well if Pippen is almost 6'6" and Paxson almost 6'2"
then I must guess that MJ is around 6'4" or not?

The first time I recognized that Jordan wasn't 6'6 was during the 92 olympics. I said to myself hold on, he looks like he's only about 6'4 or shorter. But I didn't question it because back then I just took the heights they gave as fact. I think 6'4.5 would be just about right for him.

pictures can be deceiving but if that picture is telling the truth, it makes Jordan look in the 6'4.5 range. Magic Johnson and Larry Bird are both listed at 6'9 and Bird looks to have a good 2 inches on him in that photo making Magic actually 6'7.

Editor Rob it is slightly tricky, in so much as bird is a little closer. This might effect it 1cm, but tellingly both jordan/magic appear similar distance...
if Pippen is just 6ft 6, then yes he looks 6ft 4.5ish, but then, he looks 6ft 5 if freeman is only scraping 6ft 2...
there was a pic of him and that old terrell fella, unfortunately he was closer to camera...

The first pic I couldn't access, mask. The second pic I would actually say Jordan looks more 194cm. I would place Larry Bird at ~6'8 1/2''/204cm in his socks, and Jordan is level with his eyes despite Jordan being slightly further back which would be losing him maybe a cm visually. It's good proof Jordan IS NOT 6'6'' without shoes, though.

That picture with Wayne Gretzky makes Jordan look about 6'2 or 6'3 max. But I still think he couldn't get away with saying he's 6'6 and not at least be a little over 6'4.

If Jordan was 6'5.5, he would have been listed at 6'7 at least. I think Kobe is around 6'5 and he got listed at 6'8. So Jordan is probably a little over 6'4.5 in the morning and 6'4.5 throughout most of the day.

Well, there was another shot in Morgan Freeman`s height page. I always thought (and agree with you Rob) that Freeman was 6`3 barefoot. Jordan was 6`6 with shoes on; that would make 6`5 barefoot. I said in this page that my cousin said that Jordan was as tall as him (a little bit under 6`5). Well, in this pic Jordan looks 3 or 4 inches taller, so what`s going on? I think Freeman is very tall, at least 6`2 this days.
And the same happens with Michael Clarke Duncan. He looks shorter thatn Dwayne Wade (listed 6`4); I guess in this case posture has a lot to do with it. And he looks slightly shorter than Kobe Bryant, listed 6`6 with shoes on.

I'll have to change my mind with jordan. This is the best picture you can ask for ROB.......www.geocities.com/zadeh1979/jorpip
Now there is at least a 1.5 inch difference and a maximum of 2 inches between JORDAN AND PIPPEN. Pippens barefoot height was measured by the olympics at 6'5.75 (Thus, add 1 inch for shoes and he's listed at 6'7 in the NBA). This makes Jordan at very most 6'4.25" and it also means Jordan could be a minimum of 6'3.75".
Look, Even if you asssume Pippen slouched 1/2 an inch at the olympics (BY the way... this is fairly difficult to do..Try it some time when measuring yourself) then that would make Jordan a maximum of 6'4.74" - and a minimum of 6'4.25"

i am 6'5 barefoot . I can get away sayin that i am 6'6 but no if i say that i am 6'7 or 6'8 . nba players height are in shoes and basquetball tenis usually add 1 to 1.5 inches . 6'6 minus 1 or 1.5 inches is 6'4.5 to 6'5 . So jordan height must be about 6'5 minimum 6'4.5

Actually, I think people wouldn't notice. Only people about that tall would really see it. Average Us Male height is 5'9.1 inches and only 4.0% of the population is over 6'2. 6'3.5 actually makes sense. Morgan Freeman and Jordan. Freeman stands 6'1-maybe 6'1.5 today. And jordan seriously appears no more than 2-2.5 inches taller.

something's really weird with these b-ball heights. Players seem to get boosted up all the time. But Jordan's height seems well exaggerated. 6'6 is really hard to buy. I could accept 6'4 reluctantly.

Jordan, in any shot, looks a MINIMUM 2.5 inches shorter than Pippen, and 3 inches shorter seems way more likely. The distance from your eye to your lips is 3 inches. Look at the shots below (Olympic shot in particular) with Jordan and Pippen. Jordan's eyes look like they are right at Pippens lips. Jordan, therefore, is 3 inches shorter than Pippen. Pippen probably isn't quite a full 6'7 at peak (morning height). WHY, do i say this?. Because the NBA takes height measurements in the mornings AND ROUNDS UP, so 6'7 is likely rounded from Pippen's 6'6.5 morning height. The olympics measured Pippen at 6'5.75 , which is 'probably' a later in the day figure. Im guessing it's fair to say Pippen stands at an average of about 6'6 through the day. This puts Jordan at a surprisingly low 6'3.5 average as a maximum estimate and 6'3.0 average as a minimum estimate. Another piece of evidence to support this height is the photo with wayne gretzgy. Even if you assume Gretzgy is 6'0 even. Then Jordan would seem about 6'4 max. Truth is Gretzgy is probably like 5'11 and that makes jordan 6'3. Wow am I surprised :)

Im sorry. In that picture below (jordan giving peace sign - Olympics?) Jordan looks about 3 inches shorter than pippen. (This is a pretty good shot by the way.) If Pippen is 6'7 on the nose, jordan is 6'4 indeed. I still feel pippen isn't really 6'7. The olympics, as stated below, measured him at 6'5.75 - and the olympics would seem to be accurate. So, Yeah 6'3.5 (w/o shoes) for jordan is a possibility.

I think barefoot he was about 6'4.5" and with shoes near 6'6". I don't know if he has lost any height due to shrinkage now, I've basically assumed that this was about his peak height.

no, Dennis Rodman himself confirmed he's 6-6, and he's listed at that height at numerous places. He's no taller than 6-6.
Leung, Pippen is listed as 6-7, based on that photo, do you think there is only 1 inch separating him and Jordan??? Come on now.

Editor Rob he also still says he's 6ft 8, he said it a few months ago on big brother...but of course beside the guy who was 6ft 5 he didn't look it!

Sing, I did convince Rob to downgrade Jordan from 6'6'' to 6'5'' a while back, but he's since been brought up a notch to 6'5 1/2''. I think because people were arguing Dennis Rodman was over 6'6'' based on his appearance on UK Big Brother.

I tend to think that Jordan was a legit 6'6" because during his playing days he was always distinctly taller than his opponents that were 6'4". . In fact, in terms of size MJ could match up with the oppositions team's SF most nights.

If we use Pippen as a point of reference, I can only draw the following conclusions: If Pippen was 6'8" as he was listed in his later days, Jordan would be about 6'5.5". If Pippen was 6'7" as he was listed for most of his career, Jordan would be about 6'4.5". If Pippen was really struggling with 6'6" as some people say, Jordan would be about 6'3.5". I personally tend to believe that Pippen was 6'7" like he was listed for most of his career, making Jordan about 6'4.5", give or take a little.

agreed, 6-4 or 6-4.5 sounds about right for Jordan since he's obviously shorter than both Rodman and Pippen, who are both legit 6-6 guys barefooted.

guys, mj is definitely 6'4.5. if he weren't, scottie would be like 6'9. scottie also had an inch on dennis. also, i am wearing a pair of jordan cross trainers. they give me almost as much height as my wolverine work boots. not saying that all jordan brand shoes give you that much height, but i do know that basketball shoes in general vary in the amount of height they give you. i wear and 1 shoes or New Balance shoes to play ball and they only give me an inch. i wear some crappy Reeboks sometimes too, and they give me an inch and a half. going further(i have a lot of basketball shoes if you couldn't tell!), i have a pair of cheapy shoes that give me an inch and three quarters and then i have a pair of nikes that give me an inch and a quarter. this can also be proven by looking at the official nba draft player measurements that someone linked in the allen iverson section. this shows some guys getting as much as an inch and three quarters from their shoes.

Jordan is 6'4.5" - 6'5". He was listed at 6'6" because that was in his shoes. He was listed as 6'5" in college.

as much as I idolize the man, he's not 6-6. Dennis Rodman is a legit 6-6 (although listed as 6-8 for much of his NBA career), and he is visibly taller than Jordan (photo below). I would give Jordan 6-5, max, most likely less...

Agree. Pippen is dead on 6-7 (201 cm) I think (although I've heard claims that he is 6-5.5 bearfoot). Jordan at 194-96 cm seems right, as does:
Barkley at 193-95,
Clyde at 197-99,
Magic 202-204,
Ewing 209-11,
Shaq 212-15,
Lebron 200-202
Duncan 208-210
KG 210-212
I think an inch off the listed heights in most cases seems about right.

Everyone, I want you to know I am not the same Jake who said Jordan was 6'3".
But I still think he is a shade under 6'5".
Rodman is 6'6" - 6'6.5 Pippen is 6'7" (first picture)
Ewing is 6'10.5" (second picture)
Barkley is 6'4" - 6'4.5" (third picture)
Pippen is 6'7" Drexler is 6'5" - 6'5.5" (fourth picture)
Magic is 6'7.5" (fifth picture)

I think he is nearly 6'5", however, not quite. 195cm is an accurate height for him.

jordan is no more than 6-5. 6-6 is his nba "with shoes on" height. If he woulld be 6-6 his nba height would be 6-7. its simple.

Lebron is 6'7'' minus shoes. 6'7 1/4'' is his measured height.

I don't see Jordan under 6'5. 6'5 to be exact he probably is plus shoes which makes the listing 6'6.
