    I am 6'1 now 43yrs old. I was a late bloomer I was 5'0 when I finished 8th grade but I had a growth spurt and grew 6inches over the summer before 9th grade and got to my current height by the time I was 18. The growth spurt around 14yrs runs in my family my father had one as well but he is only 5'10. I had two uncles on my fathers side who were 6'2-3 so thats where I got my height from.

    I'm a shade or hair under 6'3". I was 5 feet tall when I entered junior high school and did all of my growing in 3 years. By the time I was a sophomore, I was close to my present height. I'll be 39 this coming Thursday. And I am taller than both my parents but I had a grandfather that was 6'5" and some uncles that were over 6'3".

    Basketball is simply a sport for taller people. It's amazing at how little skill a tall person can have, yet still retain so many advantages in a game of basketball.

    I've been stuck at 5'11" since junior high, a.k.a. the Rockets' championship years. :(

    I've been 5'11'' for the past 36+ years. I have no desire to be taller what so ever. I do desire to be younger, but oh well.

    5'9". Stopped growing at around 19. 34 now.

    I'm cool with my height. I wouldnt mind being an inch or two taller but that's it as I prefer to blend in.
