Some players are more believable. I doubt there was an actual measurement done by Olympic officials. There haven't been any since for the NBA players in subsequent Olympics. I think in they might have heard NBA players measured themselves in shoes and just arbitrarily knocked off 2" of everyone's NBA listings. I forget how much of and advantage Magic has with a higher eyelevel, it really helps him at times.
That was him pushing 60 when that video was aired. People round too. The former commissioner called it. Rob has him as high as he could possibly be Click Here. If they aren't smoked out at the pre-draft camp, padded heights get exposed at USA Basketball team trials. Likewise, it was a measurement in before the Games citius, altius -- but not unduly altius that exposed Danny Manning, who had been a freshman at Kansas, as a NBA draftee-to-be.
And Rambis looks to be slightly taller. If anything there is a better chance he was under the Mark. Another shoe height of course. That's how we all know what height we are from doctor visits. No contradictions here. People do lie about height Magic just isn't one of them. Sly Stallone lies, Tom Cruise lies etc.. Everything isn't a conspiracy. Not everyone lies about height. Lastly who says Kurt Rambis is taller?? Show me a quality pic like bird and magic back to back exact footwear for both.
Where Rambis and Magic are back to back or shoulder to shoulder. Quality not quantity. Again too many people would need to be downgraded for Magic to be under 6'9. He was shorter than all of the guys we compare him to when they were in their primes and they are older than he is. I also think that if it weren't for rivalry with Bird, he would still have his 6'8" listing from his early NBA years to this day.
I honestly think that even Larry bird wasn't a full 6'9" in the afternoon, but more of a 6'8. In that video, it does look like a 3. Possibly because it needs to fit a specific narrative. Conan is listed as 6'4" on celebheights. No way in the world Magic is only 3. At the 12 second mark Magic looks all of 6'9".
When he first got in the league he was 20 and grew another inch. You just contradicted yourself. Which one was measured? Magic was not Conan. But 3.
I doubt very much that I'd have the faintest clue as to his height if I bumped into him. The tallest fellow I knew - in recent years - was 6ft7, and I couldn't help but ask him how tall he stood from the ground. He said it was hardly the first time! Example Dennis Rodman who I believe had a peak of a little over 6'7. However if we go with the fore mentioned height for Magic then we would agree that that there is an inch in height difference between the two.
Now that is impossible. Rob has Rodman at 6'6. In the 6'9. And that's were I have him at. Larry is 6'9. Kevin McHale 6'10" and Robert Parish 7'1". I think 6'8" was a round up height for Magic at that time. Consistently claims 6'9 and seems every bit of it still today.
Taller than Lebron. Certainly has 5 inches on Conan. At 60 years he is taller than Walton who was measured 6'8" barefoot at draft, also is taller than young Lebron, and Tyson Fyry! Magic is slouching in his neck almost on e every photo! Click Here. He was described at that mark a fair bit, also claimed 6ft 9, which could be in sneaker. Green look like 6'8 with Magic. Or other Celtics, etc from those days?
It seems like Magic has retained his height better than Larry, I suspect Larry has crept down closer to 6'8" these days. Seeing the pics in the ring the other day and others with Carmelo Anthony etc. Bird was never over 6'9 flat. Tyson Fury isn't shorter than Magic for sure. Mark D. I'd say 6'8" since he was also inches taller than Tyson Fury , who is about 6'6" to 6'7".
His posture is still good and he stands straight in pictures. Magic still don't look a flat 6'7 when standing straight. It's funny how many people don't really understand how tall a legit 6'7"-2m guy is, so they exaggerate it by increasing it by an inch or two. Because then, we would only be debating how much they seemed to lose in a day, not who's the liar or not.
I don't think he lost a full cm, i will argue mm lost of height. Click Here Luke Walton was say to be a weak 6'7 in real look to be fracton if without hair shorter than Magic. He was initially listed at 6'8" by the NBA before they started listing him at 6'9" likely due to the Larry Bird rivalry. If Tyson is 6'7. Click Here Click Here. He towers Kobe in the one video of he and Magic. I think some of the older measurements maybe prior to the 80s and even into the 80s may be later in the day.
That is his full height. But if still going by a low I would say he can dip slightly under 6'7". I'm not convinced he was ever quite 6'8" barefoot at any time of the day. I know he had me. Kareem was a building. My height is At least in his 50's, he can't be too much taller than me and fit in the same size suit.
I'd put him around 6'7"-6'7. In some cases, guys can exaggerate a whole 2 inches of height. My guess is a peak Magic had 2. He still could be an inch taller than Carmelo.
Click Here Well 5years ago in this clip but Magic look 3cm close up taller. Kobe at makes perfect sense and Magic maybe Or Kobe could be Maybe still 6'7 and Kobe has to be solid cm guy.
But 6'7 might be now today. I just always assume that was a legit barefoot measurement. Most likely in his physical prime.. This meant outside of them meeting in the finals they would only play each other twice a year excluding the All-star game. Magic used to say that the two regular season games against the Celtics were the only ones that really mattered to him, while Bird regularly checked Magics box score as one of his morning routines!
They entered the league at a time when the NBA was struggling. Pushed out the way for prime time shows and replayed in their entirety for the first-time hours later. The league was said to be on the verge of bankruptcy.
The gritty collar play of Bird and the Celtics, going up against the Showtime play of Magic and the Lakers re-ignited fans imaginations. Suddenly the league was buzzing, pulled back from the brink and set on a path to become what it is today, a pure hybrid of competition, drama and entertainment.
His ability to read the game and create plays and excitement out of almost nothing would have seen him flourish at almost any height. However his heght set him apart, allowed him to set the NBA alight and start the boom that we are still riding today. Converse Weapon: Choose your weapon.
