Well it certainly does if you start very young but once you hit the 20's there isn't much chance !

Nope, playing basketball does not make you taller. However, often the tallest basketball players will make it to the NBA because being tall gives you many advantages, such as shooting over shorter players, blocking shots, and making shots easier because you are closer to the basket, which is 10 feet tall.
If you enjoy basketball, though, you should keep playing no matter how tall you are. It's fun, and it will put you into better in shape if you play enough because you will be running around so much.

Tall people play basketball, you have it confused. You only see the NBA, you dont see high school, or local games do you? The tall people make it to the NBA, who are also very skilled. Earl Boykins, Nate Robinson and others are under 5'10. I play high school ball and when we come across a 6'6 center, thats big. In the NBA a guy who is 6'6 will be playing shooting guard.

playing basketball doesnt make you tall. tall people just play basketball because its an advantage over other people. but once you get into higher levels of basketball, amost everyone is tall. basketball players are tall because they eat all of their veggies.

umm... no, taller people are better at basketball...
if you put a 6'0 145 pound guy in football is he going to bulk up and end up a 240 pound mass of muscle.... prob. not...
