I forgot what height I was, but I wasn’t short. But the summer after 8th grade I had a growth spurt and grew hella inches. I even had stretch marks on my back from that shyt. But I’m only 6’5, not 7’1. But I don’t think big growth spurts where you grow a couple of inches over a year are not uncommon. Of course, a whole foot is extreme

I remember them saying he grew a few inches just from the 2 years he spent in the Navy.

dennis rodman was similar

Rodman never played high-school basketball and was characterized as someone who is not athletic standing at only 5’6″ during his freshman year and would later fail to make the football team which completely devasted him. After high school, he found a job as a janitor at a nearby airport where he tried to steal watches from a jewelry store. Of course, he was caught, but luckily for him, he only spent one night in prison but did lose his job. On top of that, his mom decided to kick him out of the house, which left him in a really bad situation.

at age 19, he suddenly became 6'8'' from 5'9'' :wow:
