K i need to know how tall i could be when i grow up

Question

k im 13years old and when i grow up i want to be a nba player and i dont care if you guys think thats impossible because my whole life has been about proving ppl wrong so. im about 5 foot 7 inches 13 years old and a good 120(not fat). last year i was abbout 5 foot 2 so i grew roughly 5 inches. i play about 3-6 hours of basketball a day and i can touch a 9 foot 1 basketball rim. i am following all the important stuff like sleeping early eating healthy keeping posture. so i would like to know how tall i will be when i grow up to see if im nba material. any help would be greatly appreciated (my parents are both like 5 8 and im really close to ppassing them) (im aiming to be about 6 foot 4)

Answer 1

wow...over 6'5 if it goes like it is going right now

Answer 2

who knows.

Answer 3

it usually goes by genetics..look how tall your faamily is..if they're short generally you will be short... you cant do anything to grow taller..it's just the hormones and the genetics that you have

Answer 4

I'd say about 6 feet.

Answer 5

Aiming for a height is not an achievable goal in the sense too many things are out of your control: genetics being the biggest and most uncontrollable factor. You can only grow so tall nothing except surgery will get you to be taller than you are as an adult. Your basketball skills should prove to be more important than your height seeing as thats just an advantage but I'm 5'11 and well, fairly horrible with no hope in sight. Wasn't there a basketball player 'Bugsy' who was 5'4 and proved to be one of the surprisingly better players of his time. If you're 5'7 at 13 thats a sign that your growing is going to continue but, you won't see a rate of 5 inches in a year; that was a growth spurt. You will definitely reach 5'9 at least. I think your peak would be around 6 foot, not much higher. If other people in your family are tall you might have the genes that didn't show up in your parents. Again, don't try and stretch yourself or attempt anything drastic because the body isn't to be fiddled with it is to be used properly otherwise you could ruin any chance of the NBA. Your odds of being 'tall' are fairly good seeing as the average male is 5'9 being NBA 'tall' will happen by luck but, remember you could be 7 foot but, without hard work and dedication you won't be able to get far.

P.S. People often don't grow till they're 20. My brother is 6'6 and he's 20. He reached 6'6 when he was 17. Some people do all their growing earlier in their teens than others. Few grow till they're 20.

Answer 6

probably you might be somewhere between 5 foot 10 to 6 feet.

Answer 7

Well lets look at it this way. When i was 13 i was about 5'10. Im now 15 and am only 6 feet tall. I dont expect to grow much taller

In your case i see you levelling out at 6foot.  

Answer 8

since your parents are short I'd say 5-10 maybe 6 if lucky.

"for the ppl saying 6 or 5 10 plz tell me your joking i still have a good 7 years to grow.your telling me in seven years ill grow 4 inches MAX????"

your parents are 5,8 WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY? I doubt you'll grow much more. you've probably done most of your growing over the past year.

Answer 9

i say about 6ft to 6ft 2in.

try and be a pg
