How big of an advantage were MJ's hands really? (alien.top)

People always talk about how huge of an advantage his hand size was, I don't really get it though. It's the NBA, so I'm assuming most of them would have large hands anyway. Like, I can palm a ball and I'm only 6'2, I don't really get it.

Well Kawhi has huge hands and it helps him in defense and he is probably the best mid range shooter in the modern NBA aling with KD and Derozan. I think it's a pretty sizable advantage, especially at this high a level of competition.
