Trouble Dunking? | Small Hands - Can't Palm Basketball

[WPWaST]

I thought orchestra was down the street?

[hoodghost]

Your completely missing the point. I admit I shouldn't have said the math thing and I only said that out of being annoyed. But all I am getting at is that Asians just do not have length. I don't see why you would try to argue that. Forget the whole math thing I didn't mean that.

[hoodghost]

Wow did you say you guarantee me? Buddy go look up the measurements of NBA players. Also I guess that makes a lot of blacks not normal human beings then. Even myself my arm span is 8 inches longer than my height. We originated from Africa where the climate is hotter. We needed long limbs to help our bodies get rid of heat. Its the same with other animals closer to the equator, they also have longer limbs.

maybe you should think about 2 handed ascension into a one handed dunk. i can't hold the ball in one hand while going up either. i go up holding with 2 hands and then decide to dunk with 1 or both. infact the 2 handed dunk is the one you usually see badass nba players doing where they hang on the rim and shit.

[Lilbryan888]

man i cant grip a ball bc i got small hands is like fkin bullshyt is annoying me and pissdin me off too ):

[Shawn3129]

I don't know man. I don't have tiny hands. But they aren't very wide. a short pinky. 4.9 back of knuckle mid, 4.4 index. 4.6 ring....... so a bit longer fingers then average. I cant really palm a basketball. like I could grip it but then it comes out with 10-15 seconds or so... on a good day I might be able to hold it permanently and wave it around without it slipping, I think I've done it ..... I do think grip strength has at least some part of it. can only do with my left... my guitar hand.

[Petawawa8]

There's no question that bigger hands make it easier, but you can train your hands to be stronger. I used to not be able to palm a ball, but i found a small little medicine ball in my basement, and worked on palming that. It's smaller than a basketball, but heavier. After about a month, i could palm a ball no problem. No my hands didn't grow either. Now I'm working on palming the ball off the dribble. I do have big hands, but my point is that you CAN train your hands.

[pao09tiger]

u dont have to be tall to grip a ball, some ppl jus have bigger hands than others, kwame brown is 7 ft, he cant palm a ball, my guy is like 5'3, he can palm the ball, of course he is like stocky and muscular and have some big hands, jus sayin some ppl were born wit bigger hands than others

[catha86]

@pao09tiger 7 ft and cant palm? thats bullshit.

[pao09tiger]

@catha86 yea it is. thats how much kwame brown sucks

[speedstackingboy]

how big is your hand in cm? 

[858415]

Go back to China.... slant eye

[Kinggdawg]

@858415 oi cunt, get out you wannabe black, you prolly can't even dunk a 5 ft rim so stfu

[858415]

@Kinggdawg what is with you thinking everbody wants to be black. If I wanted to smell like shit and be greasy I would dive into a garbage dumpster.

[wiltisdabest]

you should work on your grip strength i have small hands and can palm a ball

[onlydunk]

@wiltisdabest how do you possibly work on your grip strength.. It's physics, you need a bigger hand to cover more surface. You definitely have bigger hands than me.

[ChrisTheBallerL23]

@onlydunk or maybe get a ball that actually has grip lol

[onlydunk]

@ChrisTheBallerL23 It doesn't matter about grip, if your hand is too small you can't palm it.

[Noobssuckass300]

@onlydunk how tall are you? I am 5'7. I can just barely grip the ball, enough to hold it for about 30 seconds or so. You just need to have big enough hands to cover 2 -2 1/2 "pieces" of the basketball.

[redberrey1]

@onlydunk

Im your exact heigth so our hands are probobly very similar. I used to not be able to palm the ball whatso ever. What I did was work on my grip strength like this guy said. Alot of forearm workouts transalate really well to gripping a basketball obviously pull ups dips b ench etc all workout your forearms. Trust me you can palm the ball you jest need to work out more. Where are you from

[wiltisdabest]

@onlydunk There are many ways you can do finger tip push ups, use the grip balls there little balls you squeeze in your hands, wrist curls, and other i can't think of but you could look them up. Wrist curls i like because it makes your forearm and wrist better too. It is possible to increase your grip and with the size of your hands you can do it so you will be able to palm the ball. Look it up, ask trainers about it it is possible to improve your grip if you think otherwise your uninformed.

[wiltisdabest]

@onlydunk forgot also use grippers they work really well.

[GeniusSelfproclaimed]

@onlydunk the ball your using look like shit get one with grip..I used to not be able to palm a basketball too, but then I started jerking off like 10 times a day now I do it no problem.

[hoodghost]

holy fuck Asians have no length at all

[Jman16119]

@hoodghost Yup, seeing as how by watching this video you've met every single Asian that has ever tried to play basketball.

[hoodghost]

@Jman16119 Asians have short arms relative to their height that is just a fact. Its not about meeting them its just fact.

[Jman16119]

@hoodghost Dude, I'm asian, 16 years old and I have about a 6'2" wingspan. Plus my hands are huge. If this was such a fact then why do I exist?

[hoodghost]

@Jman16119 First off a 6'2 wingspan is tiny for any position on the floor second I said in proportion to your height. How tall are you? I don't care if you have a 6'2 wingspan if your 6'2 in height. You still have no length.

[Jman16119]

@hoodghost Lol dude I don't even play basketball. Yet for some reason you apply the stereotype to an entire denomination of people.

[hoodghost]

@Jman16119 Not a stereotype it's genetics and its a fact. Lol stop looking for arguments, if I wasn't 100% sure about what I was saying believe me I wouldn't be saying anything right now. 

[Jman16119]

@hoodghost Lol I have no idea where you got that from but I guarantee you every normal human being is directly proportional. Thats why Da Vinci's Virtruvian man exists. I can make stuff up too. White people can't jump. Genetics.

[hoodghost]

@Jman16119 Honestly your just angry cause what I said is true and it hurts you.

I don't need to make it up because its all true. You have no case at all here so honestly get on with your life. Your Asian and your stubby deal with it. Stick to math

[Jman16119]

@hoodghost So the biased side actually came out, I'm surprised. Yeah I suppose I'm pretty good at math but I also play for my high school's varsity football team as a receiver, on account of the fact that I am 6'3", 205 lbs. I'd send you a picture but it probably wouldn't be the best idea, stranger danger and all that. Don't use your experiences with a certain type of people to judge how you treat them, that's how bigotry starts.

[sanosukeX2]

I have the same god damn problem and it's pissing me off........

[onlydunk]

@sanosukeX2

 it is a pain after a couple of misses.

[sanosukeX2]

@onlydunk the only way to dunk is to clip the ball between my wrist and forearm but for that I need too just alot higher.......

[onlydunk]

@sanosukeX2

 just do 2 hand dunks, alot easier.
