Has massive hands. He would jump functionally as well. He sticks that ball out as high as possible. Jumps off one leg so he doesnt have to slow down much and thus jumps from further away. Theres a couple of his where he is so fast and he needs to fly to barely beat his trailing defender. He jumps from farther away then normal and only just high enough to dunk. Its like a play only he does. No one b4 or sense.

People who never saw him have no clue how great this man was. I remember Magic went down in the 89 finals. Worthy destroyed Rodman and Salley. He some 40s on them even though he was the only weapon left. That was against one of the great defensive teams. James Worthy couldn't be stopped.
