6"5' is pretty tall. I don't need to be that tall. If I hit 6 foot tall I'll be satisfied.

Damn son, now you got me all excited. I want to be over 6' so badly.
6.1 point guard
6' - 175lbs and am usually the all purpose player for my teams. I play the center on D, I post up on the block like a PF, I can have the offense revolve through me in the high post (automatic midrange). I consider myself a scorer in a sense that I'll pull threes when it's really necessary, other than that I will never roam beyond the arc; my 3ball is OK. I can break and run the floor with the best of them. With the perfect angle and clear path to the rim I can 1 legged bang it hard.
Oh, I play mostly in asian/filipino leagues unless it was college intramurals so being 6' makes me a legit 3, undersized 4-5.
6'1". I usually end up playing SG/SF.
6'2 170lb PG/SG
im 5'8", 22 years old
lately (a month or so) i feeling like im getting taller
did anyone experience something similiar here?
6'2, 155, 15 years old

I'm 5'7, 21 years old. I noticed I grew to a solid 5'10 the past few weeks. But than I woke up.
True story
6'0, just turned 16, and on my ball team i can play from pg - center.
My dad and mom are both 5'9, is there a chance that i can grow taller, lets say 6'3?
6'5" Point

Anything is possible of course but realistically that chance is pretty small.
Especially your dad only being 5'9'', that's really not working with much. Do you have any tall aunts, uncles, cousins or grandparents?
You'll probably level off at 6'2''
I'm 5'9'' and shrinking.
I play guard but where I am from not a lot of tallies, so I can play down low if needed.

can you dunk at 5'9?
depends who i play with. if its with the guys i play everyweek (poor standard) then c/pf.
Then the crap league i played in (better than the usuall guys) i would start at the C then as the game went on i would mark the best player...usually thier PG for the last Q. i played an average of like 35mins per game using internaional rules ie 40 min game....knackering.
im 6'2 160ish. looking to bulk over the summer for the 1st time and push up to nearly 180. still young only 19...looking to play uk univeristy ball (2nd team) so in US terms like high school standard. i wanna be a solid sf
5'11" usually play PG/SG

That's very light for your height (but not very surprising from the one pic of you).
I am skinnish yet I am 140 lb at only 5,9 1/2 (at best and I am barely 5,9" in the evening because of daily height fluctuations).
I've got high shoulders, though. My shoulder height is the same as many ppl who are an 1-1.5" taller than me. I have refrigerator-box shoulders and a neck that seemingly doesn't exist:D
Man all of you are tall.
I'm 5'5, 14 years old.

Nah, we are just representative of the average population. Your not very short, but slightly below average in height. 5,3" or under is very short for either sexes though, imo.
btw, I saw a 4,10" girl at summer school today. She was so short that she didn't even come up my shoulders as walked by her (and I am only 5,9 ish). By comparison, I felt like a giant (like the photoshopped pic of me)! Actually, she's probably not even 4,10", but I found her very cute. By legal standards, that's midget height.
However, she was well proportioned despite her diminutive stature. She was only a scaled down version of an average sized teen unlike dwarves.

Well I'm asian, and that probably has something to do with it. Also my Mom is 5' and my dad is 5'10. My dad is a normal height, but my mom isn't.
I hope I can grow to about 5'8 or 5'9 and I'll be happy, almost 5'6 :rockon:

The girl I saw at summer school today was white (and she's probably at least grade 10 given the class she walked out of). She's towered over by already short girls (who are only 5,3"). She's probably only 4,8-4,9" which is unusually short (and why she got my attention). She still has some room to grow, but if she doesn't, then she'll just end up as a pituitary-challenged individual :bowdown:

Your very comforting considering the fact that all your examples have been about girls.
:confusedshrug:
5'6 ..age 16
[QUOTE=Basketman]How tall are you? And how does it affect your game?[/QUOTE]
Now that I think about it, height should not affect your game or what you choose to work on in anyway. You should still perfect your footwork, ballhandling, jumpshot, driving and finishing, defense and agility. Unless you are really set on being good at just one aspect, it should not affect your game at all. Granted in game situation if you are the tallest guy out there you should be playing like it, and if you are the shortest out there you should be taking advantage of your quickness and peskiness over the bigger guys

I am deriving these conclusions about you:
1. Your a girl (because your sarcastically mentioning the comfort of my behavior)
2. You think I am a perv because I am using girls as examples of demonstrating short height
3. You find my posts of a particular girl in the Rate That Girl Thread bizarre and even abhorrent! Who in the world would continuously post pics of the same stereotypical white chick on a basketball forum?
4. You think I am strange and maybe even psycho...:confusedshrug:
I don't really care what a particular individual on a forum thinks about me because I probably don't know you.

Nope, I'm a male. I'm considered short for a male.
:roll:
I don't think there are many girls on ISH anyways.

Of course. But being short is alright as long as it doesn't affect you in daily life.
5'11 Is My Height I'm 6' In Shoes Can't Palm Da Ball But I'm A Small Combo Guard At School So When I Play High School Ball N Go Against SG's I Use Quickness to go past em but at da PG Kinda Strugle Aint Much Of A Passer
I Avg About 15.5ppg 6 RPG N 7 Ast
I'm 6" .. nowhere near dunking :ohwell: I prolly need to gain another 8 inches of vert to be able to ..
Im 6"3, 14 years old. I can dunk but not consistently.I play the off gaurd for my team.
Right now I am 5'8 and am 17 years old. I matured kind of late. From the ages of 12-15, I probably only grew like 4 inches. I just started growing and still am. I probably grow to be 5'10, but maybe I can get lucky and reach 6'0.
I am 6'3''. I like this height because (ideally) it provides me with the speed and agility of a guard while still being tall enough to venture into the paint at will without fear of being vanquished.
Automajic raises a good point as well. I encourage all my players to never limit themselves due to their height or size. My thought process is this, if a kid is taller than all his classmates throughout school, there's a chance he may just stop growing and bam ~ the kid that only developed his post game (because he was "tall") through his early high school life is now 5'10'' with no guard skills.
Conversely, if a tall kid works on all of his game (ballhandling, shooting, etc) and continues to grow throughout schooling, then there is the potential he'll turn into a 6'6'' player with guard skills - a nasty combination.
I see no reason to limit skills or believe that you are pigeonholed based on one's height or build.
im 6'2 and 16, the people i play with are either my height or shorter than me but still, im not so good in the post
5'7 and 130 pounds, and I usually play PG/SG. Doesnt really affect me that much, unless I'm playing a really tall team.. where there point guard is like 6'1 or something.
6'1 with shoes on, and just turned 16 this summer, and i can play from 1 - 4 position, because i lift weights and am a tough defender/rebounder
5,6 and 13 think im gunna be a guard this year:pimp:
