NBA legend Larry Bird says he doesn't think he'll make it to the age ...
Because he's so tall, Larry Bird is very aware of his own mortality.
www.cbssports.comLarry Bird is widely listed at 6 feet 9 inches (about 2.06 meters) tall. There isn’t a single “latest news” update on his height since it’s a fixed attribute from his playing days, but sources consistently report his height as 6'9".[4][9]
Key points you might find useful:
- Common listings in credible sources have him at 6'9" with a wingspan around 7'3" for his prime.
- Some outlets (including fan sites and video content) occasionally speculate about slightVariance in measurements over time, but the official tallies from his Celtics era remain 6'9".[5][4]
- If you’re curious about historical context, Bird’s height was often noted relative to his elite scoring, passing, and rebounding skills that made him legendary despite not being the tallest forward of his era.[9][4]
