Top 10 biggest hand sizes of NBA players in history

9. Michael Jordan

Hand length: 9.75 inches
Hand span: 11.375 inches

MJ showed off his gripping abilities in a Jimmy Kimmel segment called “Can Michael Jordan Palm It?”. He could grab a mannequin head and a pumpkin with one hand, but failed to pick up a disco ball.
