The Hawkins measurements seem weird to me. His hands were 10.5 inches long (2nd biggest of all time) but his span was supposedly only 11 inches? Only .5 an inch difference when everyone else’s span measured well over 1 inch (some even 2) difference? Idk, it just seems weird (or inaccurate) to me. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Jordan is eighth on this list and nobody could finesse the ball like he could.. he have a left hand dexterity as well,there a difference.Kinda like Mike Tyson got knockout power in both hands.

Supposedly the furthest interval stretch on a piano has been a 13th (i.e. C7 to A8) done only by Franz Liszt and Rachmaninoff. Liszt was 6’1” and Rachmaninoff was 6’6” so unless they have the most unbelievable hand proportions of all time, I’d love to see these players see how far they could go past that.

Being a guitarist this video interested me being that having large hands is a major advantage in both sports and music, what’s interesting to me is how most people on this list, although have huge hand sizes it’s not that surprising being that most of them would forehead tap you with their nuts when they walked past you, with musicians however it’s strange seeing relatively average people with giant hands, Hendrix was under 6’ but hand a hand length of 10.5 inches, just look at pictures of people like tal farlow, Steve vai, Stevie ray Vaughn etc
