For all the talk about Shannon Brown’s hops, springiness making him a YouTube fixture, asking others about him inevitably leads to mention of his hands.

“He’s got big hands. Extremely big hands,” marvels former Charlotte Bobcats teammate Raymond Felton, who played against Brown in the 2005 Final Four.

“He’s blessed with great hands,” praises Bobcats assistant coach Jim Capel, who grew close with Brown during the guard’s half-season with Charlotte.

“I wish I had those hands,” says Nuggets guard J.R. Smith, former dunk contestant (and sick athlete in his own right) who’s known Brown since their AAU days. “If you get a set of mitts like that, it’s hard to stop.”
