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.

Go watch some of his highlights and it’s apparent how much it helped him. He could move the ball out of the way and just do ridiculous stuff. I’m actually surprised more big handed players haven’t attempted some of these things. But I think what is really underrated about MJ is his balance that along with those hands is what made him absurd around the rim.
