People are getting taller and taller. Hum, I wonder if it's the food we eat. The Worlds Tallest Teenager plays high school basketball in Bradenton, Fla. Fifteen year old Oliver is 7-foot, 5.33-inches tall.
His parents are tall but not close to his height, "My mom is 6 foot 2 and my dad is 6 foot 8. When I was 10, 11, 12, I started growing and it was getting fast. Every week, I was like getting height. I was taller than every kid in my school."
His coach commented, "The biggest thing when you meet him, you're concerned, is he skilled, can he move, what's his motor like, does he like basketball? Those are the things you're concerned about when you meet a 7-foot, 5-inch kid and start to work with him. The first thing is he loves basketball, that's huge, some kids are tall and people make them do it." More here.
