Is shooting a basketball easier or harder with big hands?

[The Jewnited States]

I imagine it would be easier with big hands. but maybe only to a certain extent? how big was shaqs hands? nh

Harder, most guys with big hands have struggled shooting. Kawhi is one of the rare ones who has been good.


Rondo, Shaq, etc

a rare case where size doesn't matter. pause. a lot of good to great shooters can palm a ball like it was a grape fruit. the reason some have trouble at the strip and shot in general is due to bad techniques and not enough reps and practice

 

[G-Zeus]

apparently harder..

for what they get in dribbling control, they lose in finness..

too much hand on the ball.. save.. Kawhi who i have no idea how, has one of the smoothest shot ever for big hands.

Michael's hands were even bigger than Leonard's.

You can tell MJ has huge hands because anytime photoshoppers use his hand it looks too big for the gif/smiley lol

Ya'll saying big hands but I recall Ben Wallace having small hands being a reason he was such a bad free throw shooter.

I have small hands and I can't shoot to save my life, but I can make free throws tho.

Phil Jackson said that MJ's hands were almost as big as Shaq's

I know one thing........................................






















































It's hard for me to shoot WITH THIS BIG ASS dikk

I've heard guys blame Shaq's big hands on his poor shooting, but I don't believe it. Other people have told me it's easy as hell to shoot a woman's ball.

Sabonis must have had gargantuan hands, and he had a fine shot.

It's hard not to think of a bit of susness when reading this thread, but I think you're ideally looking for a medium between the two extremes

Right. Yao, too.

I can just imagine how awkward it is for some people though putting two huge hands on a relatively small ass ball. Like it'd be awkward where to place the guide hand
