 I paused Rondo shaking hands with Durant after the contest. Just the most freakish thing I've seen in some time. Doesn't look real. More like a cartoon.

 I found an article on Nba.com\Celtics and it says that" The largest hands, the current training staff has measured" that is amazing. 

 At 6'1" hands bigger than Perk, K.G. Anyone. I think they are Longer than M.J.'s for sure. Can anyone find the actual measurement anywhere. Tp's for an answer.

I have a favorite pic in a collage on my wall of Rondo holding his hand up against KG's ... Rajon's are a good deal larger, and that's saying something. ;)

He looked like a Harlem Globe-Trotter with that ball spinning lay-up in the HORSE competition he tried lol.

I remember that at the time of the draft that one of the reasons given for his poor outside shooting was the unusual size of his hands.

they should initiate a rule where you can run without dribbling if the ball is spinning on your finger.  ;D :D

Definitely sounds legit.

Last season, I started practicing holding the ball in one hand, away from the opponent. It helps me a lot since I'm a guard, and I can now do some moves while holding the ball in one hand. It also helped me on layups and when going to the rim, because I have a lot more control on mid-air fakes and spin/direction and I get more use out of my wrist.

However, it totally wrecked my shot, as I started gripping the ball tight and throwing it more like you'd throw a baseball instead of rolling it off my hand.

Sounds like that's somewhat the same issue.

tp...i think if Rondo had gone back to that shot if given the time to he would have eliminated Durant.TNT better get their act together about timing this event next season.Rondo surprised the heck out me with his overall performance in this competition.He was clearly more creative than Durant and if he had preceded Durant in the beginning the outcome might be different...the third guy didn't put any pressure on Durant.

Agreed. If the show wasn't such a joke and about the announcers, maybe they could have just finished the HORSE competition instead of making it a 3 point shootout with Durant which Rondo did VERY well with.

Think about it, they all started with an H, and they couldn't finish a game of HORSE in an hour? Seriously?
