Michael Jordan's Height
6ft 4 ¾ (194.9 cm)
American Basketball Legend. At age 18 he was being described as 6ft 4, and in the NBA regularly called 6ft 6, a height he himself claimed in 1994 "I'm 6-foot-6". Pat Riley was once quoted 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". For the Barcelona Olympics, he was listed as 6ft 4.75.

I'm the tallest. My Father's about Five-Ten, my Mother's about Five-Five. Everyone else is about Five-Six and a half, Five-Seven....the Milkman's about Six Seven.

Doesn't change the fact that he was one of the best basketball players of all time. 6'4 is still frickin tall.

@Canson, I also have Jordan at 6'4 and 1/2, probably a height twin of Lennox Lewis.

The pic with Obama seems skewed by the angle, but I’d bargain that’s a 4 inch difference if any

@Alex: he measured 6’6 at the combine but I think that’s early early morning. He looks more of Christian’s height at best. Comparing him to draymond green or grant Williams in the series against the Celtics, Williams looks taller. Butler looks 6’5 at times up to 6’5 1/2”. I’d have listed him 6’5 1/2” had I been rob. That’s a good fit

Seeing MJ with Obama is eye-opening. This like like a near 6-inch height different, not 3.75 inches. Obama's head is below MJ's eye-level.
Either MJ is 6'5+ and Obama is 6ft max, or Obama is 6ft 1 and MJ is 6'6+.

Editor RobMaybe he was viewing it from 'about 6ft 3' perspective.

@Editor Rob: I’ve been saying that for almost 8 years. He didn’t look a legit 6’5” at times and he looked just barely taller than guys who are solid 6’4”. Not to mention, he measured 6’4 1/2” at one point when he was drafted per Pat Riley. Jordan knows he’s only about 6’4 1/2” barefoot. I still see the 6’4.75” as a measurement about 2-4 hours out of bed and see 6’5.25 out of bed and 6’4.5 at his afternoon low.

Canson said on 3/Apr/23
6’4.5” to .75 range is possible for his afternoon height and once you add the orthotics that he admitted to wearing and some bball shoes, he’s 6’6” or very much near it (within 1/8”). But I’d bet money that 195 is not his lowest. He may have dipped to 6’4 5/8 peak as a best case if not 6’4.5”

I agree completely with the estimate.
Ballers "ALWAYS" give shoe heights.
Esentially his shoe height is .25 rounded up.
Obviously not a millimeter below this...or 8th inch.

Jordan is a real area of focus for me, as a 90s kid who gre up in Chicago while he was a megastar. All my childhood (including the games where I saw him personally) he was introduced as “Head Guard, 6’6”. However I remember receiving for a birthday one of those life-size cardboard standees of Jordan. I distinctly remember my whole family puzzlers that it wasn’t much taller than my 6’3 father. Certainly not 3 inches!

in the photo above with obama he really can look close to 6´6 but i guess he is standing tall and obama relaxed. in the other photo canson just put up when both are relaxed it looks to be around 10 cm. I believe obama is in that josh holloway peak range of over 185 flat at worst 185,5 and on a good day could measure 186. That makes Jordan at worst 195 and probably closer to 196. But still if he was measured at 195 then its hard to argue taller but to be honest i just cant see jordan shorter than vince vaughn 20 years ago.

Jordan wears orthotics by his own admission but he doesn’t have a full 4” on Obama. He looks max what Rob lists him here maybe 6’4.5 which he measured originally. This is also how he looks when Obama is putting the medal on him. That wasn’t a full 4” I still say 6’4.5 and 6’1 are their respective afternoon heights

If Jordan is 6'4 3/4" as listed then Obama is solid 6'0.5". In this case, Stoltenberg is about 6'1" and Trudeau/ barely 186cms.

In the picture with Obama, if Obama is 6ft1? Jordan looks a comfortable 6ft5 in comparison and that's being generous to Obama, judging from that pic alone I'd guess his height as 6ft5.5.

Lunchtime. He wasn’t as tall as Ron Harper who was a true 6’5 or 6’5+ guy. Harper was 1-1.5” shorter than Rodman and a good 1.5” or so shorter than Pippen

I suspect Ray Allen is taller than 6'3.5". It's anecdotal, but I saw Ray photographed with a guy I know who is nearly 6'3". Ray looked at least 6'4" in the photo (possibly a bit more) so I think 6'4" could be a better estimate than 6'3.5".

Jordan looks at least 4.5" taller than Tucker. Granted, he's slouching in the last two photos. Tucker at 6'0" flat would safely put Michael at 6'4.5" minimum.
I would argue that 6'4.5" - 6'4.75" is the most realistic range for Jordan. He's in the weak 6'5" category.

@Malcolm, Warren and Editor Rob: Kobe likely edged him by 1/4”. I can see the 6’4.75 for Kobe at his low whereas 6’4.5 for Jordan.

I honestly think they’re neck and neck. Not only are the average guesses for both the same, the have similar proportions too (not to mention they’re exact same play style and everything in between!). 6’5 chance for both, maybe on a good day.

6’4 1/2 at a low and 6’5 don’t look that much different. If someone is 6’4 1/2 at their low, 6’5 is not impossible to look since other guys who claim 6’5 even the most honest ones, will fall slightly under that mark.

I’m 6’4 1/4 at my low which I consider my true walking height. Jordan at his peak was no more than maybe 1 cm if not just 1/4” taller than me. He was a strong 6’4 1/2” peak

@James B: very possible. I ran into a guy at a bar recently that is from Chicago and he said point blank Jordan was 6’4ish in his prime. I take that to be 6’4 1/2”. He is probably 6’3 and change now but said he was 6’4 peak and Jordan was at most half inch taller when he met him. He also admitted he’s lost some height and is 6’3 and a bit now. I think Rob has him listed ok since he did measure it but I don’t think this was an afternoon height. I think this may have been 2 hours or maybe 3 out of bed and be lost another 1/4” throughout the day or he was a 6’4 5/8 guy at a low maybe in his prime

Between 6'4.5" and 6'4.75" barefoot during his prime. He's pushing 60 years old now and could be a flat 6'4" at his age.

@Andrey: nope. I haven’t ruled it out. Either one could’ve been that you’re right. But that’s as high as I could go for an afternoon height for either of them. I feel that both come down to 6’4 1/2 peak whether it’s both doing so in the afternoon or either being a bit under their normal low (approaching extreme low territory)

@Vincent: this is interesting. The guy who met Jordan called him 6’4 and change (which signals to me 6’4 1/2 range 3/8-5/8 perhaps) but not sure if he had lost height. The interesting part is the same guy said Pierce is closer to 6’7 or half inch taller than he was which doesn’t sound right. I’d have guessed Pierce 6’6 max. Maybe even a weak 6’6. Maybe his perception is off

@Ice: Jordan would edge Haysbert now. But remember Jordan wears orthotics. That can give up to 1/4”. As for listings, you mentioned it just now on Steph Curry’s page. Rob doesn’t usually list in 1/8” increments so this is fair for Jordan’s lunchtime. He may have been 6’4 5/8” lunch and 6’4.5 afternoon. If 6’4.5 was his afternoon peak height, he could’ve been 6’4.25 at an extreme low like I mentioned to Dom. I also don’t rule out 6’4 5/8 for Jordan’s afternoon. Rob even stated below that 6’4.5 range is possible for his afternoon height

@Viper and Celebheights 6’1.5: Jordan is also favored in the video by a bit. I’ve seen an article where Jordan has admitted he wears orthotics. I posted it on this page a while back I believe. I’ve always had Jordan as weak 6’5 range. Could mean 6’4.5 at a low or 6’4.5-.75 range at a low. But I doubt Romo is 6’2 either. He’s probably 6’1.5 max and Celebheights 6’1.5 is right that he can look 6’1 at times. Here is Romo with Caron Butler. Butler is favored in both. Even with the camera advantage, I’d have said Butler is taller next to him than Jordan. Butler in a good pic would have around 4” on Romo. That would mean a max of 4-4.25 if Romo is 6’1 or 3 5/8 if Butler is 6’5.25 and Romo 6’1 5/8 afternoon. I have a hard time seeing Butler as sub 6’5 (could look the 6’5.25 honestly) when he stood next to me but he has considerable height on Romo as well which means Romo likely isn’t as tall as he was measured or it was early in the day

Many of these celebs hang around and visit downtown LA a lot, but most don't actually live there. More like the northern and western areas like Hollywood, San Fernando valley, Malibu etc., as well as the beachside (the rich areas). Even Palos Verdes to the south too.

@Christian,
I’ve met them at a number of basketball events. Some of them are very socialiable, while others will just stop and stare blankly since they’re disinterested in talking with fans. Shaq was originally like that, but I discovered it was because he saw that a friend of mine was wearing a Steve Nash shirt since Shaq despises him. Once I randomly brought up Michael Jordan, he was suddenly interested in carrying the conversation since Shaq never stops praising him.
I imagine that Southern California has quite a few celebrities living in the whereabouts, especially in downtown Los Angeles.

@Celebheights: that’s surprising that Morant is 6’2”. I would’ve thought 6’1 range as well (like Jawilder said) or maybe your height at best being he is dwarfed by Zion lol. But maybe Zion really is 6’6 if that’s the case. Actually I can almost buy the listing here as his afternoon height next to Draymond Green as he appears slightly taller than him. However next to Brandon Ingram who I have as a solid 6’7”, he looks 3 cm or maybe 1.5” shorter. They listed Ingram at 6’7 in 2019-20 then bumped him to 6’8 when they bumped Zion to 6’7”. Part of that may have had to do with Lonzo Ball being listed 6’6” when he’s not. JT, a poster here on CH, said he’s met Lonzo. He also lives in the LA area (I’m assuming you Also do) and I know Christian does. JT says Lonzo looked about an inch shorter than him and JT is 6’5”
Someone I met once also met Rodman and also asked him how tall he was and Rodman said he’s “maybe 6’6 1/2”. I’ve always suspected he was a 6’6 range guy after he claimed it back in 1996 when he was interviewed. Then I saw him next to Pippen who was probably around 6’7” peak height and he looked shorter. In addition he was only maybe 2” at most taller than Jordan or maybe even 1.5-2” range

@Celebheights: that’s surprising that Morant is 6’2”. I would’ve thought 6’1 range as well or maybe your height at best being he is dwarfed by Zion lol. But maybe Zion really is 6’6 if that’s the case. However next to Brandon Ingram who I have as a solid 6’7”, he looks 3 cm or maybe 1.5” shorter.

@Celebheights: I forgot Muggsy. I’ve seen him as well. I would’ve guessed similar to what you did. And with Blake yea I had him at a solid 6’2” guy like you did. Your list is also impressive!
As for Phelps, yea he’s around 189 cm. I met him at a casino. I’d say worst case, he’s 6’2.25” perhaps but the listing Rob has fits. That makes sense for Lochte being 6’0 range

Ja Morant actually appears to edge out Steph Curry in a lot of photos, while Steph Curry edges him out. 6’1 1/2” isn’t completely out of the question.
I read an interesting article about how Ja Morant was no more than 5’9” when he joined the varsity high school basketball team, and I believe the source the listing came from was Fansided.

No way Morant is 6’2, maybe 6’1. Only player I’ve seen up super up close is Jrue Holliday and he was 6’2 or so.

Man, I wish I'd meet even half of the number of celebs and famous athletes as you guys did. I've met many "lesser known" and "D-list" celebs, but as far as the more "famous" ones, only Darius Rucker, Warren G and O'shea Jackson Jr (the latter whom I couldn't even gauge his height because of the distance). And I live in LA of all places, so one would think that I'd meet lots of celebs and famous figures.

@Canson,
You’ve met Michael Phelps? If he’s 6’2 1/2, then that confirms Ryan Lochte stands in the 6 foot range. This makes sense, given how Lochte is noticeably shorter than McNabb, who looks 6’2”.

A few more basketball players who I’ve met:
Stephen Curry-He did wear a hat, but it seemed like the top of our heads were about the same.
Russell Westbrook-I was surprised by how tall he appeared in person, because I wouldn’t have guessed that he was anything more than 187 centimeters based off of how he appeared in photos. A friend of mine is 6’2”, and Russell Westbrook actually seemed taller than him by a bit. I would have ruled out 6’2 1/2”, but I don’t think it’s entirely out of question now. I’d still go with 6’2 1/4”.
Dennis Rodman-He’s in the 6’6” range. Lebron’s taller than him.
Yao Ming-I saw him one time in the airport, and I remember people were staring at him from all directions as if he was a freak of nature. Even the security guard’s eyes dilated in surprise, and he had to have been 6’6”-6’7”. I then shook his hand, and he turned out to be swell. The guy actually commented on the fact I was wearing a Pete Chilcutt jersey, and Yao actually discussed his experience playing the sport.
Yao claimed to be 7’5 1/2”. I didn’t even need to ask him. Lol.
Tony Allen-He would edge out Russell Westbrook, so I’d give him 6’3”.
Shaq-He was entertaining to chat with in person, even if he’s kind of a hothead. The guy is dogmatic with his thinking, but the man is perspicacious about anything basketball related. I’d say Shaq makes just about as many controversial statements in person as he does in his talk show. After I told him I’m a fan of Michael Jordan, he opened up and acted more neighborly to me. Even if he’s a bit pretentious, I harbor reverence for the man. He’s like a savant with his expertise in this field.
I’d calculate him as standing at 7 feet tall.
Rex Chapman-He acted bumptious and unpalatable to the extreme. He’s in the 6’3” range. I remember him shifting his eyes at me after I asked him a question, and the guy treated a waitress as if she was his slave. He’s unpleasant.
Georges Niang-He’s about the same height as Lebron, making him around 6’7”.
Ja Morant-He was just taller than me by 1/2” of an inch, so I’d give him 6’2”.
Mugsy Bowes-He was the only basketball player who I felt like a center around. I’d give him 5’2”.
Steve Blake-I agree he’s 6’2”.

@Celebheights 6’1.5 and Mickie: yea I’ve met quite a few but you’ve also met quite a few!
Theismann 5’11 today. But he may have been taller peak
Caron Butler: looked easily what he measured at the draft-6’5.25”. I saw an easy inch between us. He can pass for 6’6,5 in basketball sneaks for sure
Jarrett Jack looked maybe 2” shorter than me so maybe 6’2-6’2.5 range. Measured 6’2.5. I’d say 6’2.25 is likely
Michael Phelps looked around what Rob lists him when I met him maybe worst case he’s a full 2” shorter than me. 6’2.5 is fair
Bogans: I played against him and have seen him off the court. I’m still not sure if I’ve lost height over the years to come down to where I am now 6’4.25 but likely not anything noticeable. I remember being 6’4 3/8 before. However I would’ve said Bogans was the full 6’4” and slightly shorter from the times I’ve seen him. But slightly could mean eye level was different. I don’t think he’s under 6’4” though. 6’4” flat makes sense for him
Nick Collison- I wasn’t real close to him when I saw him but he looked several inches taller. Couldn’t tell but I’d buy that he was at least 6’8- 6’9” perhaps. Seeing him with KD 6’8.5 is probably worst case
Lonny Baxter looked a couple inches taller from a distance that I saw him from. I say a couple because I wasn’t very close but it was noticeable that he was taller. He measured 6’6.25”
Steve Blake looked the 6’2” he measured
Roy I was close enough to him and he looked an inch taller so 6’5.25 like measured. Similar to Butler
Kirk Hinrich looked little shorter than me. I’d say 1.5-2” tops. So 6’2.5-.75 is probably fair. Measured 6’2.75 at the pre draft
TJ Ford looked 5’10 up close not 5’11
Larry Johnson was at most an inch taller than me. I also saw him next to a 6’6 and change teammate who looked around an inch taller. I’d say he’s closer to 6’5” than 6’6”. His 6’5.5 could’ve been rounded up or a height a couple hours after waking. But I could buy 6’5.25 next to my 6’6 plus teammate
Carmelo Anthony as listed when I last saw him almost to letter. I was told 1.5-2” but I don’t know if I had a thicker dress shoe or who was up longer. I assumed I was at a low. I had it at two inches and think he’s perfectly listed.
Harvey Grant looked easily what he measured 6’8.5. I saw him as an adult a couple times too. I wouldn’t have been surprised if he were 6’9 but didn’t look at footwear
and saw Charles Barkley from afar. Couldn’t tell exactly but I wouldn’t have guessed he’s any taller than me. He likely had a small fraction meaning less than a cm. But I was nowhere near him
Then as a kid or teen Popeye Jones, Scott Padgett, Jeff Shepard, Darvin Ham from a distance- wouldn’t be able to tell other than maybe Darvin Ham who looked 6’5 or 6’6”, I wouldn’t be able to
Tell when I met him
Cedric Maxwell looked 6’7 or 6’8 next to my father who was 6’4 peak and 6’3.5 today
Michael Adams, Rex Chapman, Harvey Grant, Rick Mahorn, Derrick Coleman, Muresan actually as an adult and as a kid- muresan was too tall to guess lol
Juwan Howard as a kid and Tracy Murray as a kid then others on the court. I’ve probably left out some.
Then football Darrell Green, Gary Clark, Charles Mann and Dexter Manley, Charles Haley, Dana Stubblefield, Dan Wilkinson all when I was younger,
Michael Irvin- looked the full 6’2 up close although I had boots on I remember so I saw 2-3” between us. That lines up to 6’2 imho
Vernon Davis easily looked about the full 6’3” up close.
Jared Gaither 6’8
Terrell Suggs as well looked 6’3” at worst
A friend of mine has met Bradley Beal and thought he was slightly taller but probably had footwear advantage and my friend is 6’2.75 today instead of 6’3” so it’s likely Beal is 6’3” like listed. He met Wall and said he was max 6’2”. Another friend met Wall and guessed 6’1.5-6’2. Maybe he had footwear advantage though
@Celebheights 6’1.5: same friend that has met Beal has met the Rock. I saw the pic of them and he looked a couple inches taller due to the angle but he says himself the Rock was really 6’2 and not much shorter than him so that lines up to what you had him. I agree with you on Affleck. He looks shorter than Butler but not by as much as we would think. He looks 6’2” minimum next to him given Butler’s shoe looked thicker
The others I mentioned I could tell what they were so much. I’ve also seen John Larroquette and thought he was taller (near 6’5) than listed but likely because it was at an angle at an airport and I was much younger. And seeing him with Moll he is 6’4”. He could’ve had footwear advantage or if my dad was not standing straight or Larroquette on an incline when he walked past him.

Jim Carrey-He’s about 6’1 1/4”
Will Smith-He’s my height.
Ben Affleck-He’s around 6’2” at least
Dwayne Johnson-Nowadays, he’s around 6’2”.
Eric Bana-He’s 6’2”.
Samuel L Jackson-He’s a strong 6’1” nowadays.
Matthew Foxx-6’1 1/2”
John Cena-As listed.
Justin Timberlake: He’s a little under 6 feet.
Seann William Scott: He’s a strong 5’11”.
Andy Murray: He claims to be 187.5 centimeters tall, but I would have guessed that he’s 6’2” flat in person. The height difference between he and I was no more than 1/2” of an inch.
Lebron James: 6’7”-6’7 1/4”. I’m still undecided, and this is after spotting him twice!
And there are other names.

@Cold Water: I doubt he’s that low even today. In his peak a very weak 195 range (194.5-195) guy at his lunchtime height or a strong 194 even at his afternoon afternoon height. Fits the build of a very weak 6’5 peak or a strong 6’4 1/2” who maintained it throughout the full day barring the extreme low

That you have played with skillful guys is good, one can learn and maybe even improve from that. Maybe you're height skills to are even better now, since you have met so many.

@Ian: I agree with you on his lunchtime height being 194.5-195. I have him 6’4 5/8 lunchtime and 6’4.5 afternoon height. One thing I will add is that Jordan wears an orthotic. I posted an article about that before too quite a ways back. It looked 3-4 when he put the metal around his neck. At times 4” but at times 3.5” perhaps
@Okidoki: also Dan Marino

@Okidoki: yea I have met and played quite a few players. Some that I’ve met or seen since they’ve been drafted.

I assumed maybe his listed 6’3 or the 6’4 they gave him in the pros because I wasn’t near him to tell, Vernon Davis I stood right next to and is his listed height of 6’3”. I’ve seen Joe Theisman a bunch of times up close and he’s 5’11” but not sure if he was taller when he was younger. I’ve also seen John Riggins who I’d say was 6’2-6’3 range possibly but don’t remember exactly, Laverneus Coles, Steve Smith, and Jared Gaither. I wasn’t real close to Gaither but he had a pic with my 6’7 friend when he stood next to him at the game we were at and he was only an inch taller so 6’8” is where I had him not the 6’9 he’s listed

I wasn’t real close to Gaither but he had a pic with my 6’7 friend when he stood next to him at the game we were at and he was only an inch taller so 6’8” is where I had him not the 6’9 he’s listed

@Canson well it's not like jordan was tiptoeing or something on the picture with obama, he still put Obama on his eye level (4 inches taller) than him on the rest of the clip. i would say this listing is the highest i would go, he's around 194,5-195

@Ian: the pic with Obama is a bit misleading because Jordan is purposely trying to make himself taller as a joke in the video. He measured 6’4.75 and 6’4.5 which I can believe both. I think the 6’4.75 is probably somewhere in the 2-4 hour out of bed range but maybe at most a lunchtime height. I could see 6’4.5” being his afternoon perhaps. There are other shots of Obama when he’s putting the medal around his neck where it’s under 4”. I don’t completely rule out 6’4.75 for his afternoon/evening but I’d say more 6’4 5/8 or 6’4 1/2”. Rob has him close to accurate here for a lunchtime measurement tho as it could be maybe - or + 1/8” 6’4 5/8 at lunch to 6’4 7/8” and 6’4.5 to .75 afternoon although I’d lean toward the lower end of that

@Canson it would be unlikely if he's even that low, if he is then Obama would be 6'0,25-6'0,5 max, and it would disrupt many many of the listing

@Okidoki: I think with Kobe it may be a bit more noticeable as he could’ve been the solid 195 afternoon height. He looked 6’5 very often so 6’4.75 was probably his normal low. I saw pics with Metta World Peace and Sasha Vujecic and Rick Fox which made me believe he’s slightly under 6’5 along with Caron Butler who I have met and is maybe what he measured at the draft 6’5.25”. Butler looked to have me by about an inch and I’m 6’4.25”. Butler was slightly taller than Kobe in some pics. Also let Brandon Roy and he looked slightly taller than Kobe and also measured 6’5.25” and looked about the same as Butler in person

@Canson Like you said, he measured that and generally looks in the 194 range too, so it's highly unlikely Ibra is 195 in the afternoon. While Kobe is someone who definitely looks a bit taller, i think he always looked about 195 if not almost 6'5, like 195.3 maybe.
Kobe and Jordan are listed the same height here, but overall Kobe really seems to edge him in most of the events they were together.

@Nice to meet you, heheh. I have noticed that you have been long here. first and foremost, i am a big fan of Ibra, i have followed his career since he was young. We are of course splitting hairs now with even less than a half cm of estimates, but i have generally become good enough at studying proportions of people that i just look at them often and get to about the right height.
I think Zlatan is one of those where you can narrow down the range to a very narrow range. For example, there are some people where you can argue more wider ranges, like let's say Stallone, or Pitt. But i think Zlatan always really looks at least 194, but never more than 195. By looking at him, i just get the feeling he is a couple of mm's above 194 most of the day. I would be very surprised if he was under 194, i deem that as almost impossible in my opinion. I look at the picture of Jordan there with Obama and imagine Zlatan there having the same posture, the same shoes on there...it seems very close to me.
But if i have to give a personal verdict, i would say that at best, Zlatan is the exact same height as Jordan, while Jordan is at least Zlatan's exact height i feel. It is quite unlikely probably that Zlatan is the slightly taller one.
If you are right about Jordan being in the 194 range and not even 195, it's cool that the best Basketball player of all time is over an inch below average.

6’4 5/8 after 5 or 6
6’4.5 afternoon (7-8 hours)
Yea I’d say around what you did 3mm maybe between them
If we went by afternoon consistently like I list myself or Rob does 6’4 3/8 and 6’4.5 or lunch maybe 6’4.5 and 6’4 5/8” respectively

The fact that Zlatan often can appear about 195 cm on the pitch, makes me think he is not only 194 flat. I think he is either 6'4.5 or 194.5 cm, in my opinion most of the day. He really looks that range, looks always at least 194 whenever we see him, no doubt about that, but looks at most 195 though. I think standing at his best for a measurement without busting a gut ofcourse, he would measure about 194 and a half i think. Jordan peak could have been a couple of mm taller than Zlatan maybe, i think they really look quite close.

@Editor Rob: that’s where I have him. 6’4 3/8 afternoon 6’4.5 lunch and MJ 6’4 5/8 lunch 6’4.5 afternoon or at best 1/8” more to give him what he’s listed here at lunch. I really think 6’4.5 afternoon as a person I recently met says he’s seen Jordan a lot in his days in Chicago and he is my size and said MJ looked about our height. He said 6’4.5 was possible but he didn’t see 6’5. He said he himself was solid 6’4 and that if MJ was taller that it was maybe half inch. Hard to tell being only 6’4.25 who was taller

@JaWilder: I’m not even so sure Jordan or Barkley would measure 6’5.5 out of bed. However Kobe I believe would’ve measured it out of bed as he seems the strongest 6’4.75 out of all three. The other two would’ve been 6’4 1/2 or 6’4 5/8” respectively. I think an hour out of bed all three could measure 6’4 7/8 or more (in Kobe’s case 6’5.25 maybe or 6’5 1/8 depending on how quickly he lost) and Barkley or Jordan 6’4 7/8 or 6’5 flat probably

You decreased Michael´s height under 6´5, this is totally ludicrous, Michael Jordan, as well as Charles Barckley and late Kobe Bryant, had an identical height of 6¨5 and a half.
So I guess you measured all of them, huh? Jordan measured 6’4.5 and 6’4.75 so he isn’t 6’5,5. Kobe’s wife measured him 6’4.75 so he also wasn’t 6’5.5. Barkley measured 6’4 5/8 at the Olympics so he isn’t 6’5.5”. Barkley was clearly a good 1-2” shorter than Dr J who was 6’5.5-6’6 peak height. Food for thought, Reggie Miller is a 6’5.5-6’6 range guy and he’s taller than Jordan Barkley and Kobe by at least an inch

Interesting to find out he had a late growth spurt of several inches. Definitely helped out in the end. Almost 6’5: 195cm. Don’t think he’s lost any height though.

@Arch: when he’s putting the medal around his neck he can look around the 6’5” mark. I personally feel the 6’4.5” is accurate that he measured when he was drafted next to Larry Bird or some others but 6’4.75” from the olympics may be a fit. He would certainly measure 6’4.75 at some point even after he’s been awake for a couple hours maybe even 3 or so

@Recapa: I think Jordan would retain his listing esp being most other top tier superstars did. Kobe would have too or maybe since he was honest maybe 6’5”. I’m talking LeBron gaining an Inch when he didn’t , Harden staying the same, Durant gaining an inch (although he was heavily scrutinized as being taller than he was when though it was .5” barefoot) and some others such as Kawhi. So for the following
Anthony Davis lost the inch off his but because he didn’t want to be 6’11 so he was reduced based on his accurate measurement
Kawhi may have gotten an early morning 6’6.25-.5
Westbrook could’ve gotten earlier in the day or maybe 6’2.5 is his low now
Beal lost 2”
Kyrie lost an inch
Curry retained his until this season. Now he’s listed 6’2
Luka D kept his but early morning he would be near 6’7
Porzingis no chance he’s that tall
Wall lost an inch
Giannis kept his but he would be 6’11 or near it even after a 2-3 hour after waking measurement
Zion at 6’6 is prob decent being he’s that out of bed and near it after a couple hours (worst case is he’s maybe 6’5.25 or .5)
Lonzo: no chance. He should be listed 6’5 like Lavine
Jimmy Butler is ridiculously listed at 6’7”. He should be listed no higher than 6’6”

Barkley had a massive butt that really helped him when he posted up taller guys or got into a rebounding scrum. I think it is very possible he lost a full inch or even 1.1 during a full day.

@JaWilder: I remember when he was in Houston he said his normal playing weight was 252-255 then he said he was 272 that season and still getting up 😂 😂. He was a lot to handle on the court at only 6’4 and change

@Canson Yeah Big Barkley got up for sure. I’d imagine he lost an inch throughout the day due to his weight during his playing days.

@JAWilder: excellent assessment! I wonder if Barkley lost an inch throughout the day due to his weight. He was pretty heavy despite his leaping ability when he played. Barkley got up lol

@Canson I think you might be right and he is a 6’4 5/8 er at a low, maybe 6’4.5” at worst! His good buddy Barkley on the other hand is at most a small fraction inch shorter imo. Somewhere between 6’4 3/8 at worst and 6’4.5” at best.

@Cansont: well id trust the measurement he got in 1992 over what someone thinks. At least we know he’s not taller than 6’4.75”. Now he could be lower if he measured the 6’4.75 earlier in the day. But when he was drafted he was 6’4.5” and he looks shorter than Kobe was and Ron Harper who is 6’5 range and taller than both Kobe and Jordan. So chances are he’s 194-195 like Barkley

I doubt there is any discernible difference between Jordan and Barkley. Also Jordan measured 6’4.75” at the olympics in 1992 so he’s not taller than he measured. Barkley measured 6’4 5/8” at the olympics in 1992 so he’s not a solid 6’5 either

Maybe his wife measured him at an extreme low. Kobe always looked taller imho. But then Brandon Roy and Caron Butler who I’ve seen looked slightly taller than Kobe. Wasn’t much though

Almost every NBA combine since 2009 -- if not all -- have measured guys early in the morning. And there could have been some mixed in before then, too. I personally miss the standard NBA shoe heights, simply because that's how 95%+ players were listed since late 70s and early 80s until this recent change, which can make things confusing for people who don't follow height closely like us, and think today's players are shorter than five years ago, etc. I'd have preferred just to leave that standard alone -- right or wrong -- and just know virtually every listing was something near a typical basketball shoe height. I hope they drop this policy next season, because it's very inconsistent in how it is used from one player and one team to the next, which has only added to the confusion, not reduced it.

@Cbrady and Chaos: the funny part is that he would still retain his 6’6 listing in today’s NBA even under the new rules just because he is MJ. I’m sure Kobe would’ve too. The only two players maybe 3 that lost height were Davis (6’11 to 6’10” which he wanted to be listed all along) Kyrie (6’3 to 6’2 which was obvious), and Bradley Beal 6’5 to 6’3”. Beal is satisfied with being 6’3” and Kyrie has said 6’3 in shoes before. Both guys are more impressive being listed shorter. Then you have other guys who gained such as Nick Batum when he went to 6’9 from 6’8 then back to 6’8 this season. But Notice Steph Curry had a clear morning measurement (see Blake Griffin’s measurement video and it was 630 AM)? I also posted about his measurement and posted the article on multiple occasions stating they took place early morning in 2009 on this site. Harden Curry and Griffin Are all part of the 2009 class so easily knock 1/2” off at minimum. All three players analyzed gained at least half inch (Wayne Ellington, Ty Lawson, Danny Green). Ellington went from 6’3.75 to 6’4.25 so he’s appropriately listed at 6’4” today. One comparison on there (I believe Danny Green) gained 3/4” from 2008 to 2009. Maybe he grew or maybe it was one where his 6’5 1/8 was rounded up to 1/4” or just under 1/8” and he was 6’4.5 the year before. Next to Kawhi Leonard and Lebron he looks weak 6’5” like when measured. So to add to this, how in the world did Lebron get taller? Or Kawhi Leonard, Steph Curry, James Harden retain their previous listings? Not only that but other guys retained theirs who are of lesser status such as Thaddeus Young, Joe Harris, and many others such as Danny Green? If they had someone certify the measurements like they should have, Lebron may get away with 6’8” (6’7.5 earlier in the day rounded up), Kawhi would likely be listed 6’6”, Jimmy Butler 6’6” (wouldn’t surprise me if he ended up listed at 6’5 if they measure in the afternoon being he never looks much over that Mark), Curry 6’2, Etc. The players growing an inch or two after being drafted is overblown. Rarely does that happen. Maybe Embiid Anthony Davis and a handful. Davis was measured 6’9.25 when he was drafted but that was likely a morning height and he was probably 6’8.75”. He’s probably 6’9.75 like he measured last year now. He did claim to grow an inch so it adds up esp being he was slightly shorter than Durant when he was drafted

Interesting how NBA like to lie about heights. I think 6’4.75 is pretty accurate. The fact that he’s slim makes him look taller. Doesn’t look like he’s lost much height.

Canson, Jordan looked taller in a baseball uniform than Giancarlo Stanton.
I guess because he's lankier

Funny story, I was watching the Netflix documentary the last dance and my mom happened to walk into the room right when MJ was walking through a hoard of people. She says “ wow he is tall! How tall is he”? I say “ almost 6-5 maybe just under it”. She says “ oh, so he isn’t a giant? I thought he was at least 6-7”. Goes to show how tall a guy over 6-4 can look I guess.

@recapa I don't think anyone on this site believes Jordan was 6'6" barefoot it's more the question of if he was/is 6'5" or under it? I think he could look 6'5" depending on the person he's next to. He looked 6'5" next to Obama. Click Here

to those who think hat jordan was ever 6ft6 barefoot here he is next to a real 6ft6 if not a touch over guy aka carmelo: Click Here looks about 3cm to 4 cm shorter to me.

@Editor Rob: how about a page for Vince Carter? He measured 6’5.5” barefoot in 1998 but next to Bakari Sellers looks 6’5” flat. Sellers claims 6’5” on Twitter but doesn’t quite look it with Barack Obama

@Editor Rob:
Take a look at this. Not sure if Pippen lost height but I doubt that much. 6’4.5 was probably an afternoon height for Jordan in his prime. 6’4.75 probably 2-3 hours post waking up. Meaning a 9-11 AM height after waking at 7

@Vincent: he looks 6’4.5 with Phil Jackson too who was max 6’7” and Ron Harper who was probably a little over 6’5” at best maybe just 6’5”. I always knew Harper was taller. Rob made a good decision to go with 6’4.75” but in reality, the 6’4.5” figure fits better given Kobe is taller. Jackson has less footwear on and his head is tilted down

6'4 3/8 like MCW is the worst of worst i guess for Jordan, Barkley still had the edge.

@Viper: he wears an orthotic too so likelihood is you may view him as 6’5”. I bet he’s 6’4.5 afternoon height though.

If I met Jordan and didn't know his height I'm sure I would guess 6-5 and nothing under it. Same with Kobe.
