Drink milk and jump a lot. Jumping extends your hamstrings and stretches your cavs. Drinking milk helps your bones grow by nourishing it with Vitamin D. Combine these 2 elements and you've got a major growth formula.

Here is a little trick from a former college basketball player who stands 5'10". Try wearing about 3 pairs of socks on each foot. That will add about another inch to your height while playing. You can also fold some paper towel and place it inside your shoe under the sole, that will add about 1/2 inch.
Unfortunately for me, I did not learn these tricks until my playing career was over. I could have been listed at 6'0". Good luck!

Yes. There is a device used in medieval times called the rack. Get one and lie on it every night for the next 6 months. I guarantee you that you'll be longer.
This is a God-related issue. Why do you want to mess with His plan ? Spud Webb, Ernie DiGregorio, Muggsy Bogues. Hear of any of them ? They were all players UNDER 5'6" who played in the NBA. Why do you really want to change yourself ?

You can't. Your height was written in your genetic makeup, the chromosomes that formed you when you were conceived. You can't take a magic pill to make you grow more. So short of wearing high heeled shows, you may be stuck at the height you are. You could have a little more growing left to do, but I doubt you would have much.

wear high heels during basketball games.. juz kidding.. uhmm.. 17 yrs old huh.. let's see, first thing, get more sleep.. sleep like 9 or 10pm, coz it is during these times until myb 12mn that grwoth hormones are released.. and also the more sleep you get, the more time the cells have time regenerate.. so first things first, sleep more.. drink some growth supplements, something with growth formulas and anit-oxidants.. seriously.. you might still b able to grow a couple more inches.. 1in myb, or 3 the most.. your weight is ok though.. myb juz add a bit more..

There are certain things which are beyond our capabilities. Such things occur or happen without human beings control. These things are mystereous. Apart from nature, nobody can influence such occurrance. Therefore, adding some inches into your height can not be possible through any means.

I heard Human growth Hormone (HGH) will make you grow. But , it is illegal, unless perscripted. Maybe basketball wasnt your calling, or maybe, your going to be the best short basketball player ever, no need to alter the natural flow of body to satisfy your ego. Though you may hit a growth spurt and doing a lot of exercise and jumping will not hurt.

Pretty hard to add to your height unless maybe you hanged upside down from your ankles a couple of hours every day?
One way would be to grow long hair and spike it up straight!
Maybe it would be easier to learn how to jump higher which is possible to do with practice and training.
