Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Height VS WWE Legend Andre the Giant and NBA Legend Wilt Chamberlain – Who’s the Tallest?

WWE boss Vince McMahon has an affinity toward tall men. The Great Khali, Big Show, and Andre the Giant are some of the notable superstars. Significantly, they look huge and provide a unique visual experience for fans. Likewise, even tall bodybuilders have a certain sense of aura while they flaunt their muscular anatomy. It goes the same for basketball players. Thus, what if we compare the height of three legends in their respective sport- Arnold Schwarzenegger, Andre the Giant, and Wilt Chamberlain!

These three are legends of their sport and are incredible in every sense. Putting their respective sport on the map, they paved the way for legends to perform at the highest level because of their influence. For now, let’s look at how tall they are.

How tall is Arnold Schwarzenegger?

The seven-time Mr. Olympia is a colossus with a spectacular body. He is the benchmark for most bodybuilders and stands at around 6’2″. However, there are many people who don’t approve of those claims. Some people think he is below 6 feet. Schwarzenegger ended those claims by delivering a statement about his height.

“I’m 6’2″. I’ve heard rumors that I’m really much shorter in real life – like 5’6″ or something like that – which is ridiculous. I can assure you this is not the case. People look up to me, and not just because I do a lot of work in the community. I mean, most people really LOOK UP to me,” said Arnold.

After he turned 60, Arnold stated how he was 6 feet 1 and 3/4 inches while shortening down to 6’1″ in his 60s. With his height now clear, where does he stand with mammoths like Chamberlain and Andre? Well, way shorter than those guys. 

A significant difference

The NBA star Wilt Chamberlain dominated the game for a long time with his stunning feats in the center position. He scored tons of points while rebounding at the highest level. He stood at 7’1″, standing taller than most other players in his era.

On the other hand, Andre the Giant was an iconic figure in the pro wrestling business. He paved the way for many young, taller WWE superstars to come to the limelight. Standing at around 7’3″ inches, Andre had the perfect tag for his name; A giant!

The trio stood together for an iconic picture that keeps coming up on the internet. We see both Andre and Wilt picking Arnold up in the photograph in an iconic moment on the sets of Conan. The height difference is quite visible in the image, but the heights they have achieved in their respective fields is quite massive.
