Here's the thing about hand force: it can be deceiving. I once worked with a structural pest control expert on a construction defect case where water penetration had wrecked a 12' beam under a walkway in a condo complex. One of his favorite things to do in these wood rot cases was to take hold of the beam in a bare hand and pull and crumble chunks of it barehanded. An amazing and incredibly damning piece of evidence: beams that support entire walkways are not supposed to crumble in hand. Play that for a jury and watch the defense try to hide under the table. So i tried it, figuring that if this little guy (probably 150#) could crush a beam with one hand, my 6'4" 250# body could too. Guess what? I couldn't make a dent. Little bastard had hands like pistons. I have little doubt that all of these NBA players are tremendously strong and that what looks like a small push when MJ does it feels like a big push from me.
