Man has a large hand?

[Mike Serpa]

Does his hand seem disproportionately large? I asked my wife and she just looked at me and shook her head.

Not much more than your average basketball player:

I agree with your wife. (sorry Mike!)

It just looks large to me. I was thinking Marfan Syndrome. Just realized I know almost nothing about Marfan Syndrome.(Stephen Curry will be MVP this year, too!)

I agree with your wife. (sorry Mike!)

Well, thanks for you opinion. Two votes here plus her vote leaves me outnumbered 3-1!

Marfan syndrome usually shows elongated fingers (like 1.5-2 x the size of the palm) and elongated forearms. If someone with Marfan's is standing up with their arms on their side, the tips of his/her fingers are about knee length...

This guy is not even close

He does have big hands, Mike. Some people who are not necessarily tall, have very large hands. It is not uncommon in my husband's family.

It looks out of proportion to me. I agree, hands to large, votes (For large hand) are going in your favour now.

Looks like a leather glove on his hand

I think it's a combination of a large hand along with a weird angle and shadows. Kind of like those optical illusion drawings where circles look smaller then squares but aren't.

Hhmmm... one wonders if some very large boots were also involved...?

An exstreamly long thumb.

There are other ' tall ' disorders- Marfans is the one everyone hears of. They're more common than anyone thinks anyway. Mom's family had one since forever, had it pointed out only a few years back. Bunch of horses. I'm with you, Mike.

Thanks everyone for your feedback!

Oops, late to the party!!
Mike, I can imagine the look your wife gave you, I get that look from my significant other whenever I'm caught posting here for more than 15minutes!
Now as for your question...

Yes, looks like a protective glove for me too.

It looks like his LARGE hand is bony. That's why I considered a physical defect. I'm not sure about a (large) glove.

His hands aren't larger proportionally than those of the guy leaning on the stick (who also has very big feet.)

Some skinny guys just have big hands.

I think you are right. It must be a defect.

I see what you mean. We now have two men with large hands!

It sure seems like it to me.

Yes, that's true and the thumb doesn't look like a glove to me either.
So you and @Mike Serpa will be right, it's probably a defect.
