Dwight Howard massive growth spurt ( went from 5'8" to 6'3" to 6'9" in one year)

[Shep]

How did he skip all those inches in-between?

5-8 to 6-3 to 6-9 in one year? why not say from 5-8 to 6-9 in one year?

Presumably because it happened in short spurts. Grows 5-8 to 6-3 over the course of a month or so, stays about the same for a few months, and then grows to 6-9 by the end of the year.

If Dwight Howard were 6'3'' and not 6'10'' he wouldn't even make a college team

I personally think Howard is still 6'10 ish,
but it's still some amazing stuff,
I wish I had a growth spurt like that lol
