You could tell he genuinely found this question interesting and refreshing. He loves his hands. I wish more reporters would ask players questions outside the box.
-
Who else looked at their hand to see if they had the M
-
there's an article which said his parents were short (5'9/5'5). he grew up to be 6'6 with relatively small feet (sz 13) for his height which meant he had greater potential for quickness. usually small feet=small hands but he defied the odds again with exceptionally big hands. it's like all the stars aligned to create a basketball god
-
He seems so much more intelligent than athletes nowadays. He had everything going for him which made him the greatest athlete ever. Intelligence, drive, huge gripping hands, and of course top athleticism
-
highest vertical, biggest hands and just so happens to be the most talented and most relentless. it will never happen again
-
How many of ya'll are looking at their thumb to hand ratio right now? 😂 😂👌
-
Man, this guy is so cool. Most distinguished athlete of all-time.
-
People don't realize how much his hands helped him all over the court. Not only around the rim but especially with passing - he could make bullet passes from any trajectory, with velocity and accuracy.
-
I just read that, proportionally, MJ has the hands of a man standing 7'9".
-
I just love the way he speaks So much composure
-
Add the fact Mj has small feet (13) for his size makes him very nimble. Easier to move and run, truly the ideal basketball specimen.
-
Don't forget MJs spring. The only human that stayed in the air for one second. (while doing his artistry) Just amazing.
-
From this interview it isn't just the hands, but Jordan's understanding of their value that really helped him be great.
-
Literally was built for basketball in every physical aspect.
-
Which is just more proof that he was the most perfect basketball specimen.
-
This dude had frickin baseball mitts for hands!
-
I studied MJ for like 3 months straight this past year and mann the things i learned about his mentality and work ethic influenced me greatly.
-
An underrated skill of Jordan. A very important reason why he becomes the best among the other competitors in the game. He just could do things mixing his hands size and strenght with his skills, that no other player even today can do. Kawhi and Antetokounmpo have the tools (big hands) but not yet the grace and abilities Jordan possesed. I have the Rare Air book from him, which features his actual hand size in two pages. Crazy how huge they're. Thanks for sharing this rare content!!
