I'm 5'10 barefoot and my hands are 8" in length and 10" from pinky to thumb. I've never met someone my height with larger hands than me and they are roughly the same size as a 6'2 person's hands. I'm wondering if larger hands make it easier to dunk a basketball because I've been able to palm a basketball for the past 8 months after only having practiced for 4 months prior. I also wonder if anyone else has large hands like me and if it was easier for you to dunk.

I wear size 11.5-12 shoes and always at the largest width I can find. I've recently got into basketball and was looking for a pair of basketball shoes that fits my wide feet properly. From what I've seen, shoes like the Harden vol. 6, Dame 8, New Balance TWO WXY V5 and Joker 1 GT are good fits for people with wide feet like mine. However, whenever I look at those shoes online, they all still seem very narrow in the midfoot. If you have found a wide shoe that fits you or tips for fitting into regular shoes, let me know so I can try it for myself.
