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.

You can palm a ball, but he could control a ball. For all of the freakish athleticism and circus finishes, my favorite highlights of his are the one handed ball fakes. Try to do a convincing one without losing the ball
