Is it true...?

My friend wanted to know if basketball will help people grow a bit. Also will he grow some more if he is 5'5 right now and his parents are 5'4-5'6? He is Mexican and born there too.

Answers:
yes, with games like basketball and a supportive diet, you can raise height by a few millimeters (only!)
I don't think so. At least I've never heard of it helping. Height is mostly based on genetics.
I don't understand how playing a sport will change your height in the first place...does tossing a ball around make you taller? And no, lifting weights does not affect your growth either, that's just a myth. Good luck to you and your friend.
nothing will effect your growth vertical wise. lifting weight with make you grow muscle wise and weight, but nothing can make you taller, sorry.
