You tend to stretch a lot while dunking the ball into the hoop

You're tall or short regardless of what you do to yourself, unless you perform some surgery to break your fibia/tibia and have them stretched out, ouch!
It's not that basketball makes you tall, it's just that being tall let's you be better at basketball, that's why all the players you see on TV are tall, because their heights made them successful
the only thing that makes you tall is genetics, not what sport you play

it doesn't, you just grew like you were supposed to, you would have grown the same amount if you weren't playing basketball
