    Default Michael Jordan and Elgin Baylor's hand prints scaled 1:1

    Baylor and MJ both had HUGE hands. Identical length from palm to middle finger, but Jordan's thumb appears to stick out further for some added spread.

    hand size = underrated attribute. You got one of Dr J as well?

    I was looking, unfortunately i've found nothing similar to what Baylor and MJ did with these hand prints so far.

    P.S. if anyone finds any hand prints of other players WITH some associated dimensions of the object the hand print was made on post it! Doesn't matter who the player is! Would make for interesting comparison!

    I should add for clarification that Elgin Baylor's 10.75 x 9.5 signed handprint is the dimensions of the PAPER that his hand is printed on, not the dimensions of his hand print itself. For those curious, the actual impression of both MJ's and Baylor's hand came out to just under 9.25" from the lowest point of the palm impression near the wrist, to the top of the index finger. This does not equate to what their actual hands would measure wrist to the tip of the finger, because if you've ever taken your hand print the print it turns out smaller than the actual dimensions of your hand. By how much I don't know, but I've read mixed sources for Michael's hand length. Most state 9.5" one stated 9.75", and one even stated 10". Based on the impression of MJ's hand I would GUESS 9.5" - 9.75" is probably accurate hand length for both Baylor or MJ wrist to the tip of the finger.

    Don't know about the MJ story, but it was well known back in the day within the entertainment industry that Madonna would pick guys up in Limo's. So at least that part of it sounds plausible.

    What's funny is I was rewatching your Elgin Baylor video yesterday(updated version), and I realized how unique his game was. I caught myself assuming he must have had really huge hands, then I came here and found the answer.
