Former professional basketball player, Dennis Rodman is known for his fierce defensive and rebounding abilities on the court.
About Dennis Rodman's real height
Nature works in mysterious ways like our bodies -- at least until we don't fully understand them.
Dennis Rodman might just be one of the biggest late "growth-spurt" people ever -- his surname Rod-man surely suits him.
Dennis was small as a high school student. In his freshman year, he was just 5'6", consequently, he failed to make the football teams and was "totally devastated".
After high school though, perhaps the gods heard him, Dennis experienced a sudden growth spurt from 5'11" to 6'7" and decided to try basketball again and the rest is history.
Dennis is not alone in getting this kind of growth spurt. Dwight Howard is said to have grown from 5'9" to 6'8" in one year and Scottie Pippen from 6'1" to 6'8" mostly in one summer. There are countless such tales of late growth spurt out on Reddit as well.
Dennis Rodman's height has been listed anywhere from 6'6" to 6'8" throughout his long and illustrious career -- most of the time right down in the middle at 6'7".
But curiously enough, Dennis himself has claimed to be 6 feet 6 inches tall a few times.
After taking a careful look at him and comparing his height to that of some other basketball players like Kobe Bryant (6'5"), Michael Jordan (6'5"), and Magic Johnson (6'7½"), we think Dennis can certainly look close to 6''7" tall at times.
The real height of Dennis Rodman is
6 ft 6½ in (200 cm)
