Height has been a long-lasting theme in the NBA. Tall players have dominated in their own right. Most are gifted with the stature fit for the big league. However, some players go through insane growth spurts. Growing to become giants, a single change becomes a recipe for success in the biggest basketball league in the world. However, a 27-year-old NBA star might be the first to keep his spurt alive even after making it into the league.

Some of the largest players in the NBA were once nothing but average height. Notably, legendary center David Robinson was just 5’9″ in his junior year. However, as a senior, the San Antonio Spurs legend came in at 6’7″. His insane growth spurt was arguably a huge factor in him becoming a prestigious member of the NBA’s Top 75 team last season.

Kyle Kuzma has followed a similar journey to the San Antonio icon. However, his body has refused to stop growing even after five years in the NBA.

Kyle Kuzma still growing after being in the NBA

From high school to the NBA, Kuzma’s size has been on a constant rise. The now Washington Wizards star wasn’t even six-feet-tall as a high school freshman. However, he steadily kept growing in height. From high school up to college, Kuzma was now 6’9″. Coming to the NBA as a near 7-foot talent, the youngster was a high-rated prospect. Surprisingly even now at the age of 27, Kuzma is showing signs of growth.

Shocking himself, Kyle Kuzma took to Twitter to inform his fans. Notably, he is now nearly an inch taller. Kuzma said: “I measured in today at 6’10 1/2 with shoes. I’m confused ….why am I still growing lol.”
