Exum's Highlights from last night #6

How easily can you palm the ball? I baaaarely can.

I can palm it easily. Probably from 9th or 10th grade onward (finally stopped growing in the 9th grade after a crazy 8th grade growth spurt)

How wide is your hand though?

Think width is the length between your hand outstretched from pinky to thumb.

Just measured - stretched my left hand out and it comes in between 9.5 - 9.75. And oddly enough, when I measured my other hand it was a lower number - roughly 9. That explains why I've always had an easier time palming a basketball with my left hand.

So much wider than my hand! No wonder I can barely palm the ball.
 
Was wondering who had the biggest hands in the NBA. This article mentions both past & present players (it appears they only list stars and omit scrubs) - was really surprised MJ is at number two:

Interesting to see at the bottom that Giannis is rumored to have 15" hands. See the link provided:

I'm 6 foot 3
My hand is 8 inches long and 8 inches wide
I can barely palm a bball for a few seconds

Another promising game.. he's really stepping up his effort and it helps to have Hayward there as another solid ball handler to take pressure off of him.

One other striking thing about this video is that kanter had some decent passing on a couple plays.
