This guy could knock out Rachmaninoff's chords with ease.

The term "more than a handful's wasted" takes on a new meaning in this case.

That can't be a regulation 1.2748 cinderblock diameter ball.

Jewel Kilcher wrote a song about this. Wait, no, the opposite of this.

That's like me with a mini basketball - and I'm 6' 1" !

I'd be real curious what the official measurements are. I can just barely palm a basketball and my hands measure 8.75" (outstretched thumb to pinky (http://www.topendsports.com/testing/tests/hand-span.htm)). While hardly a comprehensive list, this (http://www.foxsportsradio.com/articles/the-locker-room-486404/the-largest-hands-in-the-nba-12467252/) site has several greats' hand span measurements. The Greek Freak, Giannis Antetokounmpo is rumored to have almost 15' hands.

I don't know what the measurements are but doesn't Kawhi Leonard have the largest hands in the nba?
Nvm I just checked. The Freak has him if the rumors are true

I would say that 15-foot hands would put him more in the "civilization-destroying monster" category than the "freak" category.

Wow, that's just ridiculous! At one point this season he had a bad game with a few turnovers and people were saying he needed to stop using one hand so much. I didn't agree (thought it gave him an advantage). After seeing this picture, I'm even more OK with Jah waving the ball around with one hand.

From the draftexpress measurements database (should be sorted by hand width, though not everyone was measured historically):

Ha! Could have sworn I was holding the shift key. Good eye.
