Question
well i just wanted to know if 5-11 is tall for a 14 year old and i play basket ball and well i can almost hang on the 10 foot rim and i wanted to know if i have good ups or bad
Hi Jr.
I would say 5-11 is definately above average for a 14 year old, although kids seem to be growing taller, ealier these days. I would say if you can hang on the rim, your doing well. Do a lot of Calf exercies and stetch all the time to keep limber, and that will help you with your verticle jumping.
