Anthony Davis has some of the smallest hands ever measured... next Kwame Brown?

9" long (normal) but only 8.5" wide (very narrow). Combined this is well below avg for a bigman, his hands are smaller than most point guards hands.

Do the measurements go from tip of thumb to tip of pinky while the hand is spread?

For hand width yah, they should change it to hand spread so as not to confuse but yes its thumb to pinky for width - and for length it is break of the wrist to the tip of the middle finger

Please clap.

Kemp supposedly had small hands yet was still an effective player. The downfall of Kwame Brown was all about his weak mentality. If Davis has an aggressive mindset he can overcome that kind of minor detail.

Still, hand size isn't going to make or break a player's success in the NBA. As RMWG said, it's all about mentality. Davis has got good height and good athleticism. Small hands are something that can be easily overcome.

Wow! I just measured my hands and they are 9 inches long and 9 inches wide. That's not very good for Davis considering I'm 6'1" and played guard in high school

This must be part of his deformity.
I've never heard of a hand length being longer than hand spread.
I'm 5'11", have a hand length of 8" and a hand spread of 9". I don't consider my hands to be wide at all.
His hands don't seem THAT narrow.
Maybe your info is wrong?

at you for thinking that Rondo's hand size is the reason for his success.

Kwame was mentally abused by MJ

Maybe it has to do with the palm length/finger length ratio. His palms are a big part of his hand length, so I guess that makes his spread much smaller.

Ya. It's small fingers. And you skewed his numbers by averaging them to the low (?).

That guy could have tentacles sprouting out of his ass and no one would notice because of that creepy shit on his face.

Obviously. Are you stupid or what ? The length of his arms and the size of his hands, mostly the size of the hands, are the main reason he is so good at rebounding.
