Jordan was an incredible athlete during his NBA career. Jordan seemed to be capable of accomplishing anything he set his mind to.
MJ was able to find a lot of success during his career because of his elite athleticism. Jordan’s hands were a major factor in his success.
His Airness once stated that the size of his hands allows him to assess his shots and ensure he has the best chance of scoring. Clearly, MJ was very reliant on his hands and how they palmed the basketball while he was playing the game.
Could his hands cover any other objects? Jordan was asked this question by Jimmy Kimmel ahead of the 2015 NBA Finals.
Kimmel requested that Michael Jordan palm various objects such as a mannequin head, a disco ball, and a pumpkin. Jordan easily palmed the mannequin’s head but found the disco ball too large. Jordan slyly dismissed the doubters and palmed an entire pumpkin in his hand when it came to the pumpkin.
