People talk about it all of the time. It's one of if not the main advantage Phil always said Mike had in comparison to Kobe.
They talk about them being bigger than Kobe's a lot but they don't talk or harp enough on the fact that his hands are among the biggest EVER to play including some of the goat big men.

Hand size and explosive athleticism are the only things. Mike could just run a little faster and jump a little higher.
Better shot selection too. MJ was efficient in ways Kobe only really ever came close to his last two seasons with the bulls(and the wiz years if u count them)

MJ’s biggest advantage over Kobe is playing in a man-to-man defense era.

His next biggest advantage is his hand size that was the main reason he could hang in the air and adjust his jumper releases and finish at difficult angles like that.
And he was bigger and stronger.

Jordan was across the board better
RIP Kobe :mjcry:

Thats actually what separates Kawhi and MJ. The hand size is basically the same but you can just notice that MJ is a lot faster and more explosive.

Good points. Kawhi is very athletic but MJ was more "quick twitch" if that makes any sense. Like a bigger Russell Westbrook but maybe not quite as fast running in a straight line. Kawhi seems like the midpoint between Kobe and LeBron. Not quite as smooth as Kobe but not a freight train like Bron.
