I’m 5’ 10” and can palm a basketball. My thumb to pink measurement is a hair shy of 10 inches. Yes, huge hands for a short, white dude.
I also have extremely short arms for my size. |

I was laughing at that MJST post all day yesterday. There's something about the way it was worded and just presented without any explanation that was just truly special. Like I was just going about my day at work and driving home, making dinner, walking my dog, and then I would remember that damn post

I heard there is a pill you can take to temporarily shorten your arms six inches, but then the next day they grow back  . |
I searched an online list of drug names and I think I found the culprit. It's a drug called Armodanfinil.

Does Svi have enough sauce to win the lakers’ 1v1 tournament? |

I got a new comparison for Svi.
This one goes back a while and there are no underhand free throws.
But what about Rick Barry? Just imagine how much Rick would have scored if there was a 3 point line. |

We just (bleep) about every player.
(bleep) especially about Melton when we already have Lonzo, Rondo, Hart, KCP, Svi, Ingram, etc.
Makes no sense. Svi is a better player than Melton too so why the complaining?

last night, i actually went back to highlights of svi and klay.
klay's release is just a tiny little bit faster
klay's defense also looks better |

Let’s see where Svi is at in a couple years cause I believe he can be what Klay is. Once he gets a good feel for the game and his confidence grows I think he can be special |

Different type of player, Brent Barry was really athletic, Svi is not that type of athlete, but Barry doesn't have the kind of shooting stroke as Svi.

I can see some Klay in Svi. Blows me away that he lasted until 47. |

| Putting Svi in there with Klay is ridiculous. We'll be lucky if Svi ends up being half of what Klay is. I can't stand the Warriors but I am still realistic. |

It's definitely ridiculous, but Svi's got more of a handle and looks like he can be more of a creator too. Even the template of the comp I'm not in love with

Rick left the NBA and played in the ABA where the 3 point line originated before he returned to the NBA to play with the Warriors. |
