Best current ambidextrous/off hand finishers in the NBA

[Diesel J]

These are the 5 that stand out to me the most..

Brandon Roy (finish and handles with the left)

David Lee

Lebron James (finish and handles with the left)

Pau Gasol (post up -> left hook move is unstoppable)

Jermaine Oneil ( finishes alot of his drives and post moves with the left hand)

[dajadeed]

Kobe Bryant is the only player I can think of that shot a turn-a-round 3 pointer with his off-hand and swished it :oldlol:

.. Carlos Boozer has to be on top of that list though. He's great with both hands!!

[dab0yech0]

Chris Kaman is excellent with both hands, he just needs to stop dribbling the ball and think hes a guard though.

And jesus stop posting O neil, whats so hard about typing O'Neal? You probably also type Eric Gordan and Deandre Jordon. :confusedshrug:

I'm out work so I can't actually play the vid, but if I'm correct this is the real thing. Sheed can put 'm up with his left hand too.

boozer no question

[dazed27]

kobe....manu....pau....

[Prodigy]

No mentions of Elton Brand and Chris Bosh? Of course there is always Nash.

[AJ2k8]

Lamar Odom of course, He can use his left hand and his...oh:hammerhead:

Listen to Van Gundy, he said that McGrady could shoot threes left handed. I bet that there are quite a lot of NBA players who could use their left hand in practice, it's just that they never do it in games.

Love it when someone sees a highlight on ESPN with LeStern laying up with left and then jumps on forum to open a thread.

[Mdog1]

LeBron, Kobe, Boozer, Kaman, Bosh

[Aidan]

LeBron, Kobe, Boozer, Kaman, Bosh

This.

Manu is strong with both hands too..

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed!

thread over

[utahjazzrock]

Boozer's great with his off-hand.
If you can hit off-hand 3-pointers concistently(like 6 out of 10 in practice on average) you're pretty good:lol. And Boozer doesnt do that. Im talking bout others.

LOL @ this..I'll say atleast 85% of Lebrons drives at the rim that aren't dunks, are finished with his offhand.

Nash is great with his off hand. Bosh doesn't finish with offhand (the right) that much from what I've seen of him

Agreed. Each time he does it the announcers seem to be surprised, though watching him during college and this whole season, you'd know that he is fantastic with either hand.

[foxy371]

jason kidd is spectacular with his left hand.

[Indian guy]

Nash and LeBron came to my mind first. Both terrific off-hand finishers. T-Mac used to be back when he was good. In fact, he was better with his left hand than right.

And could people stop listing so and so can make jumpers with his off hand? Who cares? Not like that ability of theirs will ever factor in in an actual game.

[hateraid]

Monta Ellis is deadly adjusting in mid air and finishing.

[Showtime]

Spencer Hawes has a very nice left hand. So does David West.

[Biddy77]

LOL @ this..I'll say atleast 85% of Lebrons drives at the rim that aren't dunks, are finished with his offhand.

it definitely seems that way. lebron and roy are the only two guys i've seen who actually seem to prefer finishing left handed on layups/finger rolls. both guys also seem to dunk left handed out of instinct at times.

[vert48]

Boozer is truly ambidextrous. Finishes equally well with either hand.

[swyftdahoe]

Boozer and Lee at the very top of the list.

Bosh, heck no. He still has problems driving right.

[stephanieg]

I thought LeBron was ambidextrous.

[Rekindled]

Brandon Roy is the best at doing this. Beasly is pretty good at it too.

[Biddy77]

Monta Ellis is deadly adjusting in mid air and finishing.

good call, and i'm actually embarassed that i didn't think of ellis *at all* when i read the thread title.

[Stacey King]

Kobe, LeBron, Wade, Roy, and Boozer are all great with their left hand.

And Rose and Beasley are pretty good with their off hand as well, especially Beasley.

[Spudjjay]

*Doesn't see any mention of Paul Pierce*
*Leaves thread in disbelief*

very fair. paul pierce is a strong lefty finisher.

[Twiens]

Steve Nash

[Dengness9]

Derrick Rose to the hole w/ his right or left. It's going in with either.

[Diesel J]

I was watching some Bulls games and I noticed Derrick Rose is sick with off hand (the left). I think he's only second to Lberon in making the most difficult/acrobatic off hand finishes look easy

[ihatetimthomas]

Pau, Kobe, Boozer, Nash, Roy are all guys who can finish either left or right at a very consistent rate

[nbastatus]

kobe, bron, boozer, and nash.
