Thanks Robert but I am not trying to grow taller.

It is common for basketballers to mention this myth/fact. Base on Keith idea of stretching, that is what basketballers to when jump trying to reach as high as they could. They practise jumping a lot too, hoping the could dunk the ball.

lim00b, interesting question "If it can be passed on to offspring"

the basketball training is just to practice the basic skill of jumping which is essential to the game.
