6-6: Michael Jordan -
The arguments start with the heights themselves: Was Bill Russell 6-9 or 6-10? Did Bill Walton insist he was 6-11 because he didn't want to be regarded as a 7-foot freak? And how many short guys tacked on an extra inch? SI consulted the best sources and rounded fractions to the nearest inch, then made the tough calls on the superior player at each height. Here are the best at 6-6 and higher. Follow the link on the last frame to see those under 6-6.

Runner-ups: Kobe Bryant, Charles Barkley, Harry Gallatin.
