around 6, but i don't know many people much shorter.  i don't see much on the nba, though i guess the guys who had it probably stayed off the courts.  to ME the connection would be that we grew taller drinking heavily hormone-laden dairy stuff in childhood, which led to both effects, and i've said here before i've suspected that connection for years, especially as a trend in the post-ww2 years.

Mom 5' 2"

Dad 5' 9"

Me 5' 10" Now age of 72 years either old or young depending on how the day is going.

My sons are all my height or taller. Some say this is due to the fact that we are healthier generally than previous generations and have more to eat. I heard somewhere that the average height has increased about two inches over the last hundred years. It might be worth looking into.

mom- 5'0
dad- 5'9
me- 5'3, almost 5'4

im only 16 and i grew like 4 and a half inches this past year.  i am "supposed" to grow to 5'7 says my doctor, but they are always wrong.  they told my friend he was "supposed" to get to 6'4 or 6'5 and he is at 5'11 right now and hasn't grown in almost 2 years.

hopefully they are wrong and i can get onto the taller side.  i have grown a half an inch in about 2 months...i really want to hit one huge growth spirt.

Interesting that there are alot of tall guys...

My parents are around 5' 6-7", however I am the tallest in my family and I am 6'3".

Personally I dont think there is a relation between the 2 but you never know.

I remember Levick saying to me that the left side of the moob was in his experience always larger then the right side, I was the same case...

Personally, I think a lot of it has to do with when you hit puberty and what you do when you are just going through it. I don't want to speak for everyone but I would take a guess that a lot of the 6'+ guys hit puberty at a fairly young age? Or started it at least?

Maybe hitting puberty before everyone else put stress on us and that caused an imbalance in hormones and here we are now? haha I'm stretching it maybe..

I know for a fact that my diet was really poor when I was going through puberty and I think that would have played a factor on my hormone levels a bit.. a long with stress.

And btw:

Dad - 6'2
Mom - 5'7
Me - 6'5
