People always talk about how huge of an advantage his hand size was, I don’t really get it though. It’s the NBA, so I’m assuming most of them would have large hands anyway. Like, I can palm a ball and I’m only 6’2, I don’t really get it.

    Its over stated. Kyrie has the GOAT handles and is almost, if not the, best finisher ever.

      Nah.

      With big hands MJ could swing the ball multiple directions, including backwards (think pushing ball fwd then backwards).

      Most other players can’t do that, so they’re committed to the action thus is more guardable.

      Along with his hangtime, big hands and agility, MJ is able to avoid blocks where virtually every other player would get blocked (he would get his shot off after waiting for his defender to land first, even if the defender jumped with perfect timing for a good block).

      Youtube “Michael jordan voyager” and “Michael jordan historic mixtape”.

      Nobody has highlights with the frequency and consistency like mj it’s actually insane. Nobody lol.
