I love Wade, and I find it amusing how much you can't stand him. But, I have to admit you're dead-on about this. Wade does carry the ball like nobody's business.

Mj was able to palm the ball off of a dribble and go up with it and get bumped and still make the shot... I can palm the ball and I six feet tall but I can't palm it off the dribble and if my arm is hit I will lose it.. Mj could get hit and hold the ball.. Big mittens is a huge advantage in basketball...

Webber had some oven mit hands, just perfect for basketball.

pretty sure he INVENTED palming.
all others are mere imitators.
MJ...he even palms better than anyone else!
Yeah but he was palming in a weak palm era. It's impressive but I'd like to see him do it in today's league.

There are literally dozens of other examples I could post if I had the time to find the videos. Hanging one-handed shots, fake passes, shot fakes, ridiculous one-handed catches. You name it, MJ did it. Fantastic hands.

people also have to realize is a lot different palming a solution, jet or other wilson ball then it is to palm a NBA game ball. Two different textures

I didn't know you still played with a Fisher Price basketball even in the 6th grade.

You do realize you're not impressing anyone, don't you? If you post a video of you doing the same things MJ did I'll personally go to where you live and hand you a box of chocolate chip cookies... **** that, doesn't have to be chocolate chip. You choose.

Re: Which players can palm the ball like MJ?
MJ used to SNATCH the ball with one hand like most people catch a baseball.
Nobody his size can do that today.
