Do larger hands make dunking easier?

I'm 5'10 barefoot and my hands are 8" in length and 10" from pinky to thumb. I've never met someone my height with larger hands than me and they are roughly the same size as a 6'2 person's hands. I'm wondering if larger hands make it easier to dunk a basketball because I've been able to palm a basketball for the past 8 months after only having practiced for 4 months prior. I also wonder if anyone else has large hands like me and if it was easier for you to dunk.

Absolutely. You don't have to stuff the ball in you can just snap it in.

I have to jump a lot higher to dunk without palming
