Question by : Could I go far in Basketball?
Hey everyone. So I’m just a 14 year old kid, I’m 5′10 1/2 and 150 pounds. I’m pretty fast, and I can touch rim on some jumps. However, I feel like I am different from other kids, I love the game of basketball.. I always want to play more, when I come home from the gym after 4-5 hours of basketball every day, I still go outside and dribble and play more. Even now as I sit on the computer I want to have something to do with basketball, so I can get better in every way shape and form. I have a passion for this sport, I have played basketball seriously for only 1 YEAR, and I am already better than 95 % of kids my age. As I player I usually play with adults at the gym who all tell me “good job” “nice shot” or “good work man” and I’ve had a few come up to me and ask my age or say I could play college ball if I keep it up. I practice every day, I’m a great shooter, a good dribbler for my height, I can rebound, I hustle on every play, I can pass the ball, I love driving (however I need to work on driving with my left hand) and I’m good at faking out the opposing player. Could I go far in basketball? I spend a lot of time and I will most likely start practicing even more than I already do… could I play college? Thanks guys

Theres only one way to find out, try out for your schools team. See how you do.

I mean not trying to be rude, but how are we suppose to answer this unless you show us some clips or stats or something, cause all youve given us to work with is the fact that other people give you compliments.

This question is pretty much asking “Hi guys, im really good at basketball and everyone tells me Im really good, do you think im really good?”

lol

is a pair worth the money? do they work? etc.

Basics:
Height 5′9″
Age: 15 and 4 months
My height two years ago: 5′5″
Mom’s height: 5′3″
Dad’s height: 5′11″
My shoe size:11.5-12 US mens
Dad’s shoe size: 11 US mens
Background: White/Caucasian
My you-know-what size: 6.5 inches.,..and was 7 inches few months ago till I became overweight.

My stage at puberty( I don’t know what.):
I think I am a late bloomer. No sudden growth, pretty consistent. No body hairs at all (armpit hair like 3 on each pits, leg hair some, arm hair very little, facial hair almost none, body hair none at all, but I have pubes) I don’t get acnes/pimples…..ughhh body shape hasn’t change by much.

Family:
My dad has average genes..he is the tallest among his siblings…..but he had taller grandad/uncles like above 6 feet. My mom has tall genes…male cousins on her side( around 6 feet or up) I have 2 adolescent cousins (age 16&17) who are now near 6 feet…………..I have a 24 year old cousin who is now exactly 6 feet..but when he was 15 he was like shorter than I am now and his parents are like both 5′6 or shorter….not sure.

Questions.
1) What could I do to ensure my maximum height that my gene has for me?
2.) Any ideas on my maximum possible height? What could I end up growing to?
