how tall is kobe bryant

Kobe Bryant was listed at 6 feet 6 inches (about 1.98 meters) during his NBA career.

Quick Scoop

• Official playing height: 6'6" (1.98 m).

• Some interviews and reports suggest he measured a bit under that barefoot (around 6'4"–6'5"), with the higher number reflecting height in shoes, which is common in the NBA.

Why there’s confusion

• NBA teams often list players’ heights with shoes on, which can add about an inch.
• Fans, teammates, and even forum discussions have debated whether Kobe was closer to 6'4"–6'5" without shoes, but his officially recognized height in records and media remains 6'6".

In practical terms, when people ask “how tall is Kobe Bryant,” they almost always mean his listed NBA height: 6 feet 6 inches.
