Because Estrogen closes growth plates not testosterone, testosterone helps growth thats why men are taller
Late bloomer: less testosterone than average or more estrogen(rarely)
Late growth spurt: less estrogen

Testosterone does accelerate growth plate closure.
But not as much as estrogen
My friend(back in school years) was the same height as me(around 5'5) and had voice mutation etc, looked like he probably won't grow(he still was 5'5 around 17-18yo).
I recently met him and now he is around 5'8-5'9, it was quite a shocker tbh since his parents are shorter than mine.
I dont think NBa players take HGH because if that was the case they'd all look like Antonio Silva. ugly and with acromegaly lol

QuoteAdam Rainer (1899 – 4 March 1950) is the only person in recorded history to have been both a dwarf and a giant.[1] He is believed to have suffered from acromegaly.[2]
Rainer was born in Graz, Austria-Hungary.[3] In 1917, at age 18, he was measured at 122.55 cm (4 ft 0.25 in). A typical defining characteristic of dwarfism is an adult height below 147 cm (4 ft 10 in). Then, likely as a result of a pituitary tumor, he had a dramatic growth spurt so that by 1931 at the age of 32 he had reached a height of 218 cm (7 ft 2 in).[4] As a result of his gigantism he became bedridden for the rest of his life.[3] When he died in 1950 (age 51) he had reached a height of 234 cm (7 ft 8 in).[5] His feet measured 33.3 cm (13.1 inches)[citation needed]. His hands measured 24.8 cm (9.8 inches).
This guy sure had some late growth spurt
