Every 6'7" NBA Player in 2026-27
6'7" is the most common height in the NBA this season. Here are all 61 players listed at 6'7", the best of them now and ever, and how LaMelo Ball turned the number into a meme.
61 players on 2026-27 NBA rosters are listed at 6'7", more than at any other height. The best known include LaMelo Ball, OG Anunoby, Khris Middleton and the Thompson twins. The greatest 6'7" player ever is Julius Erving.
6'7" is the peak of the league's height curve: 61 of 526 rostered players. Chart by NBA GRID from team rosters on Basketball-Reference.
6'7" Is the NBA's Most Common Height
I counted every listed height on all 30 team rosters for 2026-27. That's 526 players, two-way deals included. No number came up more than 6'7": 61 players, or about 12% of the league. 6'5" was next with 57, then 6'6" with 56.
It's the median, too. Put every player in a line from shortest to tallest and the guy in the middle is 6'7", with 246 players below him and 219 above. The average lands around 6'6.8". So is 6'7" tall for the NBA? Not really. In this league it's about as normal as it gets.

The Best 6'7" Players in the NBA Right Now
Any ranking is partly a matter of taste, so I stuck to the record books for this one. Players are ordered by All-Star selections, then titles and major awards. Each honor comes from the player's career page on Basketball-Reference or Wikipedia.
| # | Player | Team | Career Highlights |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Khris Middleton | Washington Wizards | 3× All-Star, 2021 NBA champion, 2020 Olympic gold |
| 2 | LaMelo Ball | Minnesota Timberwolves | All-Star, 2020-21 Rookie of the Year |
| 3 | OG Anunoby | New York Knicks | 2× NBA champion, 2× All-Defensive, 2022-23 steals leader |
| 4 | Dyson Daniels | Atlanta Hawks | 2024-25 Most Improved Player, 2× All-Defensive, 2024-25 steals leader |
| 5 | Amen Thompson | Houston Rockets | 2024-25 All-Defensive, 2023-24 All-Rookie |
| 6 | Ausar Thompson | Detroit Pistons | 2025-26 All-Defensive, 2025-26 steals leader |
| 7 | Harrison Barnes | San Antonio Spurs | 2015 NBA champion, 2016 Olympic gold |
| 8 | Herbert Jones | New Orleans Pelicans | 2023-24 All-Defensive, 2021-22 All-Rookie |
| 9 | Jerami Grant | Memphis Grizzlies | 2020 Olympic gold, 12 NBA seasons |
| 10 | Dillon Brooks | Phoenix Suns | 2022-23 All-Defensive |
LaMelo Ball is the biggest name here, meme or no meme. He won Rookie of the Year in 2020-21, has an All-Star nod and plays for Minnesota now. Khris Middleton has the better résumé, though. He's a three-time All-Star and was a key piece of Milwaukee's 2021 title team, and these days he's in Washington. What jumps out about this group is the defense. Dyson Daniels, OG Anunoby and Ausar Thompson have all led the NBA in steals, and Daniels picked up Most Improved Player in 2024-25. Want the full numbers? Basketball-Reference has them for LaMelo Ball and Dyson Daniels.
6'7" Point Guards and Shooting Guards
Most guys at this height play on the wing or at forward. A handful handle the ball, though. The point guards are Josh Giddey (Chicago Bulls), LaMelo Ball (Minnesota Timberwolves) and Anthony Black (Orlando Magic). At shooting guard you've got Dailyn Swain (Chicago Bulls), Gradey Dick (LA Clippers), Jaylen Wells (Memphis Grizzlies), Caris LeVert (Milwaukee Bucks) and Micah Peavy (Oklahoma City Thunder). When your point guard is 6'7", he sees right over the defense, and that's a big reason Ball and Josh Giddey can make the passes they do.
The Best 6'7" NBA Players of All Time
I went by listed height here, and that knocks out a few names people usually throw into this debate. Scottie Pippen, Tracy McGrady, Paul George and Grant Hill? All listed at 6'8". And Kawhi Leonard and Jimmy Butler are down as 6'6" on their current rosters.
| Player | Career | Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| Julius Erving | 1971–1987 | Hall of Fame (1993), 1981 NBA MVP, 3× ABA MVP, 11× NBA All-Star, 1983 NBA title |
| Rick Barry | 1965–1980 | Hall of Fame (1987), 1975 NBA champion and Finals MVP, 8× NBA All-Star, 1967 scoring title |
| Clyde Drexler | 1983–1998 | Hall of Fame (2004), 1995 NBA champion, 10× All-Star, 1992 Olympic gold |
| Paul Pierce | 1998–2017 | Hall of Fame (2021), 2008 NBA champion and Finals MVP, 10× All-Star |
| Bernard King | 1977–1993 | Hall of Fame (2013), 1985 scoring title, 4× All-Star, 2× All-NBA First Team |
| Shawn Marion | 1999–2015 | 2011 NBA champion, 4× All-Star, 2× All-NBA Third Team |
Listed heights and honors from each player's Wikipedia profile.
It's hard to argue against Julius Erving at No. 1. Dr. J won three ABA MVPs, then the 1981 NBA MVP, made 11 NBA All-Star teams and finally got his ring with Philadelphia in 1983. Rick Barry was Finals MVP in 1975. Paul Pierce won the same award with Boston in 2008. And Clyde Drexler? A title with Houston in 1995, plus gold with the 1992 Dream Team.
Why 6'7" Is a Meme Now: LaMelo Ball and "6-7"
Heard kids shouting "six-seven" and wondered what's going on? Blame a song. "Doot Doot (6 7)" is a track by Philly rapper Skrilla that first came out in December 2024 and got its official release on February 7, 2025. People on TikTok started cutting LaMelo Ball highlights to the beat drop (he's listed at 6'7"), and in 2025 those edits blew up.
After that it turned into a joke that could mean pretty much anything, all over TikTok and Instagram. Skrilla has said himself that there's no set meaning. Dictionary.com even made "67" its Word of the Year in October 2025. The basketball side of it is simple enough: 6'7" is LaMelo's height, and it's the most common height in the NBA.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which NBA players are 6'7"?
61 players on 2026-27 NBA rosters are listed at 6'7", including LaMelo Ball, OG Anunoby, Khris Middleton, Amen and Ausar Thompson, Dyson Daniels and Brandon Miller. 12 of the 61 are on two-way contracts.
Is 6'7" tall for an NBA player?
Not by NBA standards. 6'7" is right in the middle: it's the league's median height and its most common one this season. Of 526 rostered players, 246 are shorter and 219 are taller, and the average listing is about 6'6.8".
Who is the best 6'7" NBA player of all time?
Julius Erving has the best case. Dr. J made 11 NBA All-Star teams, won the 1981 NBA MVP plus three ABA MVPs, and took home three titles (two ABA, one NBA). Rick Barry, Clyde Drexler and Paul Pierce are 6'7" Hall of Famers too.
Are Kawhi Leonard and Jimmy Butler 6'7"?
Not on paper right now. Both get called 6'7" a lot, but their 2026-27 roster listings say 6'6" (Leonard with Toronto, Butler with Golden State). That's why you won't find them on our list.
What does "6-7" mean, and what does LaMelo Ball have to do with it?
"6-7" comes from the song "Doot Doot (6 7)" by Philadelphia rapper Skrilla. TikTok edits paired the song with highlights of LaMelo Ball, who is listed at 6'7", and the phrase spread from there. Dictionary.com named "67" its 2025 Word of the Year.
What NBA player is 7'6"?
Tacko Fall, who is on a two-way contract with the Philadelphia 76ers, is listed at 7'6" on 2026-27 rosters, the tallest listing of any player attached to an NBA team this season.
