You're most likely not going to get to 6'3. You can't just base it on your parents' height. You've already grown 3 inches since you joined here. That was your growth spurt.

You guys name examples of like 2 people from your country that might make it or have already did ( for canada, theres also jamaal magloire, but him and dalembert are like 7'0 and athletic, and steve nash is 6'3, and really fast and quick.) If only this small amount of people have made it, who basically all have natural abilities, how do you expect to? You guys can become the best shooters you want, I doubt you will even get a shot off against these nba players.
ok, first off, dont talk bout me, u dont know me. u dont know how much i have grown, i have said i grew 3 inches in a couple of months. according to growth charts and DOCTORS i am going to be about 6'3. also everyone in my family is tall on my dads side, and they are all great sportsmen, many at state or australian level. and guess what, i take after my dad. also your feet and hands grow first, i am size 13, and have the biggest hands out of anyone i know. so i am going to be big. big enough for a point guard, maybe even shooting guard. i named 2 people that could possibly make the nba, they were 2 from my local rep team. not to mention people i know like Luke Kendall who plays for Australia. you say none of us will possibly grow 6 inches? NO! coz thats impossible isnt it, none of us will go to a certain school? NO! coz thats impossible isnt it, and none of us will get a 48 inch vert? NO coz of course thats impossible too isnt it. listen, Redsoxfan trained himself to a 51 inch vert, Curtis is still in high school and he is in the 40's. so many of us are training our vert, so lots of us will come close to that mark if we keep it up. im jumping about 33 inches, and i bet you, if i keep it up then i will have a 48 inch vert by the time im 18. trust me, if i work hard enough, i believe i can do ANYTHING. stop trying to find an excuse why i cant because there are none....
