now, that seems impressive because you're used to seeing lebron shoot right handed

....so when you see lebron getting buckets and dropping 3's, just remember he's doing most of that with his natural offhand (the right hand)

:bowdown:

[asd]

Practicing 3s with the left hand?

MJ must have really gotten into his head.

[9512]

He isn't the only player who writes with one hand but shoots with the other.

Beasley shoots lefty but signed autographs with his right hand.

[imnew09]

You can clearly see that he wasn't aiming for a bank shot...

this is a real lefty 3, makes them with defenders on him

He also tried a left handed 3 pointer to end the first quarter IIRC, Spo wasn't very happy about that attempt.

Incorrect. Get your facts straight. He's cross-handed, which is a step below true ambidexterity. I'm cross-handed, too.

interesting. do you find it relatively easy finishing with both hands when playing basketball? is it an advantage?

[bdreason]

I'm all over the place. I write with my right hand, but shoot with left. Kick with the right foot, jump with the left. Throw a football or baseball right handed. And here is the crazy one, I bat left, but golf right. :confusedshrug:

I'm stronger dribbling and finishing underhand/layup to my right, but better at finishing with hook/jumper to my left. It actually serves me really well as people are forced to guard the right drive/layup, and the counter-left hook/jumper.

[no pun intended]

He made one in the All Star Game too. Didn't count since he shot it after timeout was called.

Interesting facts...I too am cross handed. I write with my right and shoot with my right. But...I am most comfortable dribbling and making layups ( and kicking with my leftnfoot) with my left hand. When I type my left hand has the most dexterity.

[Money 23]

He was playing around with his left hand all game. Almost made that end of quarter buzzer beater with his left, too. He played well tonight. Lots of wet jumpers, especially in Noah's face. He still can't drive and explode left, or hit jumpers going right off the dribble ... but he was beastly none the less.

I'll chime with my own anecdote.

Since I am more comfy with my right hand for shooting and more comfy with my left for dribbling, it makes for the pull up jumper/step back easy. Just like Mike Bibby and Tmac..:pimp: :pimp:

Dribble going left,skip set up,fake drive then suddenly pull up jumper or step back.

I've had people ask me on the court if I'm left handed. My dribbling is definitely better with the left hand, and some things is better (this is going to sound weird) but I can turn knobs and dials much better with my left than my right. Plus my layups are better on the left side but I shoot right-handed.

Yeah, pretty much, especially for close finishes, but when it comes to more advanced mechanics like shooting, it's one hand exclusive.

But there really is no rhyme and reason.

I write left-handed, but like a lot of left-handers* the way I hold the pen is not proper (causing quick writing fatigue, thankfully everything is mostly computers these days). BUT when I write on a vertical surface, like a white board, I write right-handed and hold the pen proper. Really weird. Penmanship is not similar to left-handed on a horizontal surface.

Shoot hoops right-handed. Generally "throws" are right-handed for me and delicate things left-handed. Like, when I aim a gun, fictitiously (yeah, I'm European, never fired a gun) I'm definitely left-handed. Swing a bat, golf-club, right-handed.

Every time I perform a new task I have to try both, some I still haven't figured out which is better, like bowling. Probably because I've bowled maybe ten times in my life and each time is with varying results. Neither left or right fee natural when bowling.

Funny thing: rackets. Badminton - left hand, tennis - right hand, but I think this is due to the first time I played tennis was during a summer when my left elbow was severely sprained and in a brace, so I learnt tennis using my right hand.

Interesting fact: there is a theory that most cross-handed people are natural lefties but their ability to use their right hand is due to society having most machinery etc. built for right-handed people. There is some truth to this. My brain is right-dominated (creative, etc., using left hand). My mom has told me that when I was a starting to draw at a very young age, she kept forcing me to use my right hand until eventually I wouldn't give in.

*This, by the way, is not based on data, but just my own observations on the subject.

Dr. Eurobum - Professor of Left Hand Theory

I remember Sheed used to make 3's left handed... that still is crazy to me. an ambidextrous shot

[INDI]

It's called being ambidextrous, when u can use both hands almost equally. I remember when Kobe made a left handed three. The cool thing about it was he had a stinger in is right arm and could barely use it, instead of going to the locker room he continued play with only the use of one arm and still scored 17 points all with the left.

LOL yes. It was a luck shot.

dude is just getting bored at the top, gotta try new things to spice it up.

I feel your pain. I was ambidextrous as a kid...great for basketball but horrible for writing. My third grade teacher noticed my cursive was all ****ed up so she started paying special attention to me and found that I was constantly switching hands while writing. I wasn't even aware that I was doing it. She made me write only with the right hand and even told my parents to watch me at home until they broke me of the habit.

I'm right handed and shoot with my left.

More common than one would think

[Basketbolero]

I'm right handed and now that I don't play basketball anymore I don't use my left hand for anything other than fapping and touching my gf's right breast :confusedshrug:

[lilgodfather1]

I shoot much better technically speaking with my left hand, although it doesn't have the same range (3 point) as my right does. Certain dribble moves, that I attempt I.E the around the back are better with my right hand, but crosses are much better with my left. I used to write lefty until I broke the hand and started writing right handed.

Right handed
Basketball
Soccer
Football

Left handed
Tennis
Hockey
Baseball (batting)

Certain things you do in life that others might notice when you are cross handed is as simple as how you cross your arms/legs. My left always goes over top, and people ask me if i'm lefty or not.

No, it's called ambidextrous when you can use both hands EQUALLY (not almost, look it up). The other thing, like I detailed in a previous post, is called cross-handedness.

[Pointguard]

I'm all over the place. I write with my right hand, but shoot with left. Kick with the right foot, jump with the left. Throw a football or baseball right handed. And here is the crazy one, I bat left, but golf right. :confusedshrug:
By nature on a layup or statue of liberty dunk, your right knee wants to go up but you prefer to attempt that left handed?

[Pointguard]

Everybody is preferred handed. Most ambidextrous people are born left handed and adapted to a right hand world - the mouse, guitars, and writing is designed to pull from left to right. I can write left handed but it comes out perfectly if you read it in a mirror only. While I think I am born naturally right handed, I can do most things well with my left. Some people have a slight scoliosiocis, spine curvature, and the brain will send mixed signals of which hand should be used to compensate.

Lebrons is weird. Left handed writing is the first thing they try to get you not to do. So I'm thinking he's really a lefty. But Lebron really prefers to not leap off of his right foot - the infamous Jordan critique that Lebron won't keep the ball dribbling when going to his left. Wall and Rose are exceptional with this ability. On youtube Rose makes a lefty halfcourt shot without it looking weird at all, which is really hard to do for the most ambidextrious of people.

[Linspired]

some of you must never played basketball.

pgs practice 15ft floaters both hands all the time.
bigs practice 15ft hook both hands.

and when you do these enough you can shoot with your other hands and be decent at it.

[NumberSix]

I'm right handed, but I'm left nutted. Weird.

[Pinkhearts]

Lebron would probably shoot better if he was trained to shoot with his natural left.

Cross handedness is BS. The reason you are cross handed is because you are taught to do things with another hand despite being naturally handed the other way. Many lefties are trained to write with their right, that doesn't make them cross handed, just better trained on the right hand in writing
