Dude was/is at least 6-8, and only listed shorter because he had the KG syndrome.

Good call

Scottie Pippen according to draftexpress is 6-7 and 1/2 without shoes (though it's based on an old newspaper... I've heard 6-6 and 1/2 from another source so it may actually be an "in shoes height" in the wrong category.

Carmelo Anthony measured 6-6 and 1/4 without shoes in the draft. So there is no mystery to be had here. One guy measured 1/4 to one inch and 1/4 shorter than the other.

Also Pippen's wingspan was 7 feet to 7 feet 1 inches (depending on the source) for those that are curious. Melo's is 7 feet.

He is 6'6 1/2" without shoes, so 6'7 1/2 to 6'8" with shoes. What is with the obsession with Scottie? All these pointless threads being made over and over for no apparent reason? When did Pip become such summer fodder?

Melo was a couple of years younger than Pippen when measured, so he might have grown.

Man thanks for this thread. After watching his whole career, I often wondered if he was 6'7" or 6'8" or 6'7.23" or 6'7.77" but now we know he was at least 6'8". Thanks man.

he has grown alright, but not in the upward direction

Pippen had a 7'3 wingspan if you look behind Ahmad Rashad.

Nah, I've seen that wingspan poster or whatever you want to call it before. I mean eyes don't lie and this has it all sort out. 6'7", 6'8" with an ridiculous 7'3" wingspan. Only being long doesn't mean you can ball, but Scottie had a genius basketball IQ and was a great baller and basically put that length to being the greatest defensive player not a PF/C. How great is our God?

It is a screen capture from a Bulls vs. Magic game on NBC (1996).

MJ once said that that Scottie was "a good 4 or 5 inches taller than me" That puts Pippen at around 6'10 or 6'11 or maybe even near 7 foot.

He wasn't talking about his height, I think he meant below the waist
