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.

Look at the difference between Paul George and Kawhi. PG has big hands but Kawhi's are huge. MJ's hands are the same size as Kawhi's. It's not just palming, it's palming through all sorts of contact.
