Yeah, ideally I'd like to be around the same height or just a little bit taller so I don't feel dwarfed. All the men in my family are tall, my dad at 6'2", uncle at 6'3", and his father at 6'1". My mom's side of the family isn't quite as tall but my uncle on her side is still 5'11". While I don't play basketball, I do play soccer, a sport where height isn't the most important thing, but going ip against a defender who is 4 inches taller than you is a lot harder than beating someone at the same height, assuming their skills are around the same level. All in all, I'm okay with being shorter than everyone, but it would still be nice to grow another inch or two.

Yep, a few inches, even in soccer helps. One of my daughters played soccer, on the boys team, girls soccer in a small school didn't exist back then. Hey, but it taught her (and me) to take the harder hits. We visited the ER more than once. She went on to play soccer in the Air Force, co-Ed teams. That all changed after 9/11, she was I stationed in Korea. OMG, what a wake up call for all of us. She changed her focus to creating and implementing new programs for our service members; and just retired with the highest of high honor the military awards to enlisted personnel.
Go have a fantastic, possibly 2" shorter💪stature, life that you love. Sorry, this is the mom in me coming out. GO GIVE'EM ALL YOU ARE ‼️‼️
