Eh, not so impressive consdiering guys like LeBron, T-Mac, GG, Josh and JR smith could all do that at the same age.

My point is that getting hand above the box isn't extremely impressive (although don't get me wrong, it still shows he has always had great athletic ability).

I'm not saying this play is ridiculous or anything. It's just impressive and relatively rare so I thought I'd share it.

As you can see in these pics with him standing next to VC/MJ/T-Mac:http://artfiles.art.com/images/-/Vince-Car...-C11729946.jpeghttp://www.jordanextreme.com/time9903/jordan3_370_030209.jpghttp://www.showkool.com/sk/usr/design/small/1006/100601.jpgIt is rare, but IMO just not overly impressive.

I can pull out picks of him standing next to D Wade or even a quote from him himself saying he's closer to 6'4 then 6'6.

Do a simple search on google and you will find a pic of him standing next to Bron and he is only 2 inches or so shorter.I fully believe he is 6'6'' from my judgement, as you are correct, NBA measurements aren't always accurate.
It wouldn't have counted, and that's pretty much no different from the dunk that Nate tried at the dunk contest. It's pretty unimpressive, if anything.

It's extremely hard to tell with pictures and "official" measurements are garbage. Kobe's said himself that he's 6'4 or 6'5. I'll take his word.

In the pics, he was as tall as MJ and VC, and slightly shorter than Bron and T-Mac...he is 6'6'' to me.
