I found a very good article in the Rocky Mountain News about Nene Hilario.

Take a look [here]

It worth a look...

Hey JGKolbenz, please post some of the pictures you have of Nene from his younger days, also do you have a pick of his hands around a basketball, I've heard they are huge.

Ok, here they are!

First Nene in his former team Vasco da Gama

Nene Hilario in the National Team:

Now Nene in the RMR:

I think that's the pic of his hands

Look like the ball seems very small on his hands

Thanks, that bottom pick really shows the size of his digits. Wonder if that makes free throw shooting difficult, like trying to shoot a grapefruit.

Just ask Shaq?

He knows the answer.

That's what I was thinking too, but I think that Nene will shoot a higher percentage just because he practices jump shots and has a decent touch from 12-15 feet it seems. Shaq is almost exclusively back to the basket hooks or slams.

I can garantee that Nene will shot much better than Shaq. He really practices a lot the jump shots.
