maybe abnormally small hands for a 6'11" man who weighs more than 250 lbs. and has a 'wingspan' of 7'3", but that's still a damn big hand.

jokic has baby hands thats why his nickname is baby honey hands

When the universe is aligned I can palm a leather ball just about as easily as a quality synthetic. I can barely palm a synthetic so the fact that I can sometimes palm a leather shows there's not much difference

I bet you could count the number of nba guys who can't palm a ball…on one hand. But there's palming and then there's doing in game shit with it with ease like it's a tennis ball.
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Monday, 18 January 2021 22:10 (three years ago) link
Exactly. Allen Iverson couldn’t palm it and you could tell. I guarantee Durant and Jokic can hold the ball palm down
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 18 January 2021 22:13 (three years ago) link
Durant misses a lot of one handed dunks

yeah i can palm the ball but having full control of it while palmed is a different matter
― ciderpress, Monday, 18 January 2021 22:15 (three years ago) link
If you ask someone if they can palm a basketball that’s what they mean, they don’t think Scottie pippen ballfakes are the test
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 18 January 2021 22:17 (three years ago) link
It would be funny if Durant just never worked on grip strength and that’s the entirety of his issue though
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 18 January 2021 22:18 (three years ago) link
When he entered the league he couldn’t do a single rep on the bench press...
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 18 January 2021 22:19 (three years ago) link
lance stephenson loved to do that showy one handed pump fake, but he also had some of the largest hands in the league. youd think that if it was easy more players would do it but i cant recall seeing it except maybe from kawhi
― micah, Monday, 18 January 2021 23:26 (three years ago) link
Risk/reward issues i would imagine; unless you can be absolutely sure that it won't slip out of your hand in a full speed game scenario, you're gonna get benched for showboating if you cause a turnover with that shit

It appears that Anthony Edwards might not be able to shoot the ball very well
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 19 January 2021 01:58 (three years ago) link
Durant needs to learn a couple tunes off Me and Jerry to get that finger strength

the nets plan to play every game in the 120s and win by less than 5 is going great

crazy how whenever it comes down to the last possession Budenholzer always seems to draw up his lowest percentage play. its always contested corner 3 for Khris and he never makes it

his reaction seemed immature/scary but tbh they kinda did him dirty w/ the locker situation
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 19 January 2021 03:35 (three years ago) link
if i was out of work for a few weeks because of ... "personal issues" ... and i came into the office one day and there was a new hire sitting at my desk i would be pissed

can't imagine giving a fuck where my locker is but in fairness i have not had a locker in a long time
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 19 January 2021 03:38 (three years ago) link
apparently they moved his locker to the section of the locker room reserved for end of bench guys who don't play. i get why he felt disrespected... obv there's lots more going on w/ him but it seems like a reckless decision on the team's part w/ someone they know is in a mentally fragile place to begin with
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 19 January 2021 03:44 (three years ago) link
like, hey we're not letting you play and we just traded for a guy and now he has your locker. i would feel disrespected or like a message was being sent to me... not that i would've have thrown food. now i'm dying on kevin porter jr hill
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 19 January 2021 03:46 (three years ago) link
yeah, i get it, otoh they have taurean prince coming in and i'm sure they want to make him feel welcome and like he's part of the rotation which he is, and currently kevin porter is not.
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 19 January 2021 03:48 (three years ago) link
it does seem like a clear example of message-sending that in this case did not work out.
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 19 January 2021 03:49 (three years ago) link
he "threw food"? Feels like we are getting half the story. did he throw the whole tray of oysters or just the bowl of parsley chiffonade.

every basketball game should end with an iron chef like meal, where a team earns 0 to 50 points making multiple courses for the refs.
