basketball makes you taller.. fact or myth?

I was just wondering.. I've heard from people that if you play basketball you actually get taller.. is this a fact or just a myth???

Answer #1

That is definitely NOT true lol. My friend is 5 foot and she hasn't gotten any taller. I'm pretty sure she'll stay this height since she's almost 18 and basically done growing. DEFINITELY A MYTH!
