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

Good call :applause:

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? :biggums: 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.

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. :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: How great is our God?

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

Pippen has a super long face. His chin starts at Mello's shoulder and he seems taller.

Melo's been confirmed 6'6 1/2 for some time now

so what? Pippen must be 6'7 1/2 not a big deal

I never argued MJ's dong being bigger than Pippen's.

You guys who obsesses over heights and wingspans of NBA players should seriously reconsider some choices in life.

Pip is about 1 inch or so taller than Melo who is 6'6.25".

That 6'6.5" measurement from the 92 olympics doesn't make sense to me, as he is certainly not 1 inch shorter than Magic Johnson. He's the same height as Magic, if not a hair taller.

So Pip is definitively around the 6'7.5" mark (Huge 7'3"-7'4" wingspan).

Here he is next to 6'5.5" Clyde Drexler and 6'6.5"-6'6.75" Glen Rice; he clearly has about 2 inches on Clyde (give or take a little)

http://i65.tinypic.com/2iie74k.jpg

Here, clearly edging MJ (6'4.75"- 6'4.88") by more than 2 inches...even though Pip has his head tilted downwards and MJ is not 100% straight up, the much bigger physical presence of Pippen is really noticeable.

6'6.5" measurement at the Olympics seems right. That makes him about 6'8" in shoes.

That measurement still doesn't sound right to me, because on the court he often looked taller than 6'6.5" 6'6.75" guys (6'8"in shoes) like Glen Rice, Chucky Brown, Richard Dumas, Steve Smith, Cliff Levingston.


Scottie was more like 6'9"in shoes.

honestly in a 1v1, pippen would have a VERY hard time stopping me. Not even his wingspan could make the up the differential in quicks and ball handling on my part. In saying that though he would score on me everytime too.

I played with Anthony Parker in college and after he played against Pippen in the Select game (college vs. 1996 olympians), he told us that Pippen was 6'9"
