Top 10 biggest hand sizes of NBA players in history
NEW YORK (BVM) – The biggest hand sizes in NBA history grasped greatness, quite literally, in the palms of their hands.
“Physically, if I could change one thing, the one thing that Michael Jordan had, some of the other players (I played with) had, is massive hands,” Kobe Bryant once said.
The Guinness World Record for the largest hands ever belongs to Robert Wadlow, whose hands measured 12.75 inches from his wrist to the tip of his middle finger. In comparison, the average length of an adult male’s hand is 7.6 inches.
Here are the 10 biggest hand sizes in NBA history – considering both hand length (base of the palm to the tip of the finger) and hand span (tip of the thumb to the tip of the pinky finger).
Editor’s note: This is an unofficial list put together using multiple online sources, including the NBA’s combine stats. Tall players like Victor Wembanyama didn’t make the cut because official measurements aren’t available for everyone.
