Re: Which players can palm the ball like MJ?
I dont think modern NBA players palm the ball as often as MJ did, but most NBA players should be able to palm a ball pretty easily. I am barely 6' tall and I can palm a ball (obviously not like MJ could, but I can definitely palm it)

Dwayne Wade...no doubt.
Edit: My bad, didn't read thread close enough. Thought you were asking who "palmed" the ball, or carried like MJ during his dribble penetrations. That would no doubt be Wade.

MJ and Dr. J had million dollar hands, extremely rare to find any swingmen who can control the ball as easily as they did, that's why they pulled off such spectacular moves. The ball was like a grapefruit in their hands.

Only person close today would be Vince but he doesn't really operate like MJ or Dr.J.

Re: Which players can palm the ball like MJ?
This. Seriously, any player in the league can palm it, hell even high school kids can palm the ball. Just because you don't see it a lot doesn't mean that MJ has magical massive hands. Watch when there's a dead ball, most players will palm the ball and toss it to an official. Originally Posted by KeylessEntry
