Paul Pierce, standing at an exact 6ft 6 (198.1 cm), leveraged his impressive height to become a dominant NBA small forward over 19 seasons, primarily with the Boston Celtics.
His towering stature enabled versatile scoring, rebounding, and defense, culminating in NBA Finals MVP honors in 2008 when he led Boston to the championship.
