How big of a factor was MJ's hand size really? (alien.top)

Whenever people bring up what made Michael Jordan great, one of the things is always how big his hands were, but I never really got it. Don't all NBA players have big hands and the ability to palm a ball? Like, I'm only 6'3 and I can do that shit pretty easily.

Imagine how much easier rim finishing would be if you could palm a basketball like it was a volleyball. That’s how much control they had over the ball.
