At this age, you are probably at the end of your puberty growth spurt, you should take advantage of this period and make sure your body is producing enought HGH (human growth hormones) to sustain any more potential height increase, check out http://www.hghforheight.com there are many lifestyle factors that you can adopt to optimize your natural HGH production. If unfortunately that your puberty period is over (your growth plates is completely closed), you can still grow taller with spine lengthening technique which has been shown that it can add up to 2-3 inches to your overall height. Spine lengthening can be done with various stretching exercises, they are well-documented in http://www.giantscientific.com Exercises like yoga or pilates have been very effective in elongating the spine, http://www.thepilatesguide.com

I'm not sure if you can increase your height unless you are short enough to recieve human growth hormone. However, my entire family is very short: dad and mom both 5,4, and my brother who drank tons of milk growing up is nearly 6 feet so that might work.

just work on juming exercises if you love basketball you probabaly want your vertical to be increased so what i would do is do leg exercises like squating that will work on your calves which is the muscle that you use to jump and also when you wake up in the morning make sure to stretch your muscles that will increase your jump.
