I thought Magic Johnson was 6'9"?

[ShaqAttack3234]

There's defintley more than an inch difference between Magic and Kobe.




Kobe isn't 6'6" either. He admits it and his wife measured him at 6'4 3/4"

[QUOTE]Bryant, still holding Daniel, told him: [B]

None of this stuff really matters but here's the deal. Neither Kobe nor Jordan are 6'6". They're high 6'4" to about 6'5". Magic is about 6'5". That dude never sniffed 6'9". That's just part of his "legend". None of it matters because he was still one of the best and Jordan is the best and Kobe is great regardless of his height. Dwight Howard isn't 6'10". He's 6'9" something. I know that because I'm friends with Jameer and he told me that Turkoglu was a legit 6'10" and Howard wasn't. With Howard it's pretty obvious when he plays against taller players. Magic was taller than most point guards of his day so people just believed that crap. Hakeem and Mourning were only 6'10" and Barkley was just under 6'5". I've met Barkely several times and played winter league basketball with a guy that played on the Sixers for four years with Barkely. Again, the most important thing is that the real height of any of these players is unimportant. They were/are all good regardless.

pretty much^^^^^

The heights we commonly see on their cards and websites are all messed up. They re either in shoes or not in shoes.

I tell you what though, it makes me feel a little better though. If Kobe is only 6'4....I'm not giving up too many inches to him and probably have the same armspan. Oooooh how I would love to swat the dudes shot just ONCE

[QUOTE=
And Lebron23 is right, Magic Johnson is about 6'7", maybe a bit over.[/QUOTE]

No, he's about 6'5". When he had Howard Stern on his TV show years ago they were the same height and Stern is is 6'5". It was funny because Drew Carrey was on the show and they were taking questions and Drew Carrey asked Magic why he was listed at 6'9" but was the same height as Howard. Magic didn't reply and they cut to commercial.

If I had to make an honest guess I would say Kobe is 6'5" and Magic just under 6'8".

[LJJ]

Magic is 6'7.

Jordan and Bryant are both 6'4<6'5.

I thought this was common knowledge?

[vert48]

I am 6'4", barefoot. I have stood next to Barkley a couple of times, and he is, is 6'6"+ in shoes, seeming to be around 6'7". People now exaggerate how tall he isn't.

[HeyIt'sMe]

I noticed the Dwight Howard is 2 inches shorter than Odom. So Dwight Howard must be like 6'8".

Howard is 6'10 (6'9 without shoes). He might even be a little taller now, considering he was measured at those heights when he was 18.

[All Net]

I have met Kobe before and would say he was around 6'5/6'6.

[GOBB]

People are too obsessed with these players heights. Cant wait for a thread where someone mentions one of these players height and in comes the "Nope, he is this site ____" as thier way of a "win", "I'm right you're wrong. Ha!".

My only question is what the f*ck was this pic all about?

exactly what i was thinking

To have Kobe and just Magic with Mcgrady does seem very odd

Dude, IMO oppinion TMac isn't the one throwing the pic off. Why the hell is Magic there at all, let alone rocking a current Lakers jersey? Now if he had on an old school I would almost understand, but yea, there is the addition of TMac.

6'4 and 3/4 is basically 6'5 without shoes. Once you put your sneaks on, you are legit 6'6.

Magic appears to be at least 2 inches taller than Kobe, so in shoes he has to be between 6'8 and 6'9 during his playing days. Yes, height get exaggerated, but to make Magic 6'5 is probably going a bit too far.
