He was actually officially measured during the 1992 Olympics. In barefeet at the Olympic games he was measured around "6'4" or "6'41/2" Barkley was listed at around the same height. I seem to recall that Pippen, Drexler and Chris Mullin were listed a little taller at around "6'5" or "6'51/2". Bird, Magic and Malone were all listed around "6'7".

not true sir.

mike is clearly six six.
if mj was six four.
he would only be an inch taller than his son and mike clearly has more than four inches on his sons.
if mike was six four. He would be exactly the same height as my homie as well. In which i seen for myself mike is six foot six. For you to list pr carnie mythical white legend bird may kinda hurt your argument as well. As you are speaking on tricknology. That your verbiage does not express you knowing at all as far as carny-ism in sports. Especially as far as bird is concerned.
charles barkley is six foot seven.
even his fukk'n mug shot says that.

plus in any duel pic of mike and barkley. Mike is clearly an inch shorter as well.

maybe you got your info from wiki and someone with an off european tape measure.
.
i seen it numerous times for myself.
that mike was six six.

you can take the word of some wiki link or some Europe carnie shyt.
yet i know from the actual eye test for real.
that mike is six. Six.

if mike was six four. Joe dumars would have been exactly mike's height.

When clearly dumars in the old guard of nba skematics was the typical height for what was in nature at the sg.
mike is the advanced model of that six foot four standard model in every way.
plus was clearly bigger and two inches taller than most at the position.
including being the industry's best at the position in pre game weight prep.

as egotistical as some people make LeBron out to be it is interesting that he isn't trying to turn his son into a clone of himself.

Yeah he somehow lost his basketball knowledge

fukken idiotic casuals on here man
Gil lives and breathes basketball. He used to ride around in his car before games because all he knew and wanted to do was ball. You need someone with that kind of passion for the game teaches youngsters. He'd be a great coach for the youth. Yes he an a$$hole but hell ain't most coaches?

He’s 6’6” in shoes and that’s really all that matters.

Regardless, this is a good look for Bronny. Offensively, Gilbert’s knowledge is elite and probably up until the last few years, had a very high work ethic as well.

It doesn't matter if he is "6'4" or "6'6" he was still the most dominant player of his era and arguably in the history of the NBA. It is not a big deal. All I was pointing out is that his sons are actually closer to him in height than an earlier poster was inferring, because his sons are somewhere between "6'1" and "6'3" or some crap like that.

I have no idea what this character Art Barr is writing about. Whether "6'4" or "6'6" the dude is still tall and everyone is an inch or two taller with heels on anyway, which is what you correctly pointed out. So Jordan's "6'4" is really "6'6". Not a big deal and I really don't care.

Yeah but I think that most NBA players are measured with their shoes on. It is not until they go to the Olympics that we learn their actual height. I think that Jordan is only about "6'4" or "6'5". So his sons got near his height. Manute Bol was about 8 or 9 feet tall and his son is about the same height. So most guys get near their dads in height.

To get an idea of how tall Jordan actually is take a look at him standing beside Gary Payton:

Payton is listed at 6'4 tho
