Christian Eyenga reportedly grew two inches during the offseason.

Eyenga, Cleveland's second-year small forward, is now 6-foot-7.

Wtf? The dude is 22 years old. It's a christmas miracle!!!

I've heard of this happening, for a NBA player that would be a blessing. I'm kinda hoping that happens to me too, not that I'm complaining about my height or anything, but it would at least give me a reason to buy new clothes.

I'm 20 years old and have been 5'11-6'0 since I was 11. I originally played at the 2, then grew literally 9 inches to my current height in 2.5 years. I was pretty tall for my age, and played the 4 or 5, then by high school others kids caught up and surpassed me and I was back at the 2.

This concludes my autobiography.

Most males continue growing into their mid-20s, but it just becomes progressively slighter usually. (i.e. something like you were a bit over 5-11 at 21 and by 26 you're truly 6 foot.)

IIRC, KG had a growth spurt around Eyenga's age.

This is about height?
I thought those two inches were about something else. Was hoping I could increase two inches for myself. "Dream deferred."

Apparently Paul George also grew 2 inches and is now 6'10".
