It would be nice to be able to make SQL queries on all nba stats data to find interesting things.

Wrong place to ask. Try here:

www.apbr.org/metrics/

You might have to write your own scrapers/crawlers/etc. to grab boxes from a site of your choice.

Are you looking for an actual database that you can download? If not, try this site:
http://www.sportsdatabase.com/nba/query

Well, depending which route you're going here are probably the two queries you want.

SQL:
SELECT PlayerName FROM Players WHERE Dominant = 1

MongoDB:
db.players.find({ dominant: true }, function(err, players) {
player.forEach( function(player) {
console.log(player);
} ;
});

Both will return Kobe.

In all seriousness though, it'd be sweet to have access to this kind of data. What do you want to do with it?
