If you want to learn about the NBA players with enormous hands, then Kawhi Leonard hands are counted among these players. With a hand size of 9.75/11.25 inches, this giant is ranked 9th. In the 2011 NBA draft, he was chosen by Indiana Pacers with the fifteenth overall pick.
It’s not a secret that players with larger hands in basketball, such as Kawhi Leonard hands, have more advantages over their counterparts whose hands are comparatively smaller.
There may be a physiological reason why basketball players with larger hands have an advantage over their counterparts. Players with more extensive hands use more force when they shoot, dunk, and handle the ball. This increased strength allows them to perform these tasks with incredible speed and accuracy, giving them an edge over the competition.
On 29th July last week, Leonard celebrated his 31st birthday, whereas he missed the recent NBA season as a result of an injury. Despite the fact that he is unable to play due to torn ACL, Leonard remains engaged with LA Clippers.
KAWHI LEONARD HANDS CHALLENGE: REACTION FROM SHAQUILLE O’NEIL
In a photo, Kawhi Leonard hands were holding two bottles of water (in one hand), trying to show how big his hands are. In response to that, Shaquille O’Neil outperformed him by holding four bottles of water in his hand. There have been various such instances where NBA stars try to beat their counterparts’ records, be that on-court or off the court.
Remember that O’Neil’s hand’s size is 10.25/12 inches, which is more significant than Kawhi Leonard hands. By holding four bottles rather than two in his right hand’s palm, O’Neil showed his dominancy over Leonard. Moreover, he gobbled two water bottles which further cemented his ability.
In the world of professional basketball, there is always a level of competition among players that manifests itself in a variety of ways. Still, one of the most common is players trying to outdo each other with their performances on the court as well as off the court.
This has never been more evident than in the current NBA season, where players are putting on a show for the entertainment of fans around the world and doing activities such as the one mentioned above. For this reason, O’Neil could not stop himself when he saw Kawhi Leonard Hands’ challenge.
SHAQ AND THE “KLAW” : WHICH GIANT IS DOMINANTS
Due to his gigantic hand size, Kawhi Leonard is nicknamed “Klaw.” He went viral within no time after posting his photo where he was holding two water bottles in the palm of his hand, and no doubt it is not doable for an average human being since their hand palms are much smaller as compared to these NBA giants.
Nevertheless, Leonard’s photo became viral, and this triggered other NBA players as well to try holding bottles in the palm of their hands. Other than O’Neil, Ernie Johnson also tried this challenge, and he managed to grab two water bottles quite quickly without having to make further efforts.
In the current situation where Leonard’s photo went viral and then O’Neil’s response, the NBA producers shared an old video in which both players were comparing their hands where O’Neil’s hands were more prominent. Now this time, O’Neil had to prove again himself dominant, which he certainly did.
After somehow managing to hold four water bottles in his hands with great effort, Shaq got another challenge from Charles Barkley, who asked him, “Can’t drink them all at the same time? “In response to his challenge Shaq slurped two water bottles leaving other spectators in amazement.
WHY SHAQ STOPPED: AFRAID OF MEMES?
While slurping water bottles, Shaq suddenly stopped when he heard Kenny saying, “that’s gonna be a meme.” The whole crew laughed louder when Shaq stopped drinking water since he was afraid of becoming a meme on the internet again.
