Why does a left handed shot look odd?

[RoseCity07]

If a player has the same shot form as a right-hander, only mirrored, it still looks like they are shooting sideways.

This is a video of Dwyane Wade shooting right-handed but the video is mirrored so it looks like he's shooting left-handedly: http://youtu.be/Job19wCiGe8?t=1m31s

He's using his normal right-handed shot but it doesn't look normal.

Are left-handers shooting with the same mechanics as right-handed shooters?

Because you are accustomed to seeing right handed shots.

If the majority of the NBA shot the ball left-handed, then right-handed shooters would look wierd.

left handed people were stereo typed as 'south paws'
for a number of reasons :

1) shot looks off
2) weird mechanics
3) shoots from the other side of the court
4) writes differently
5) holds pen incorrectly
6) walks on the wrong side of a girl
7) ties his shoes opposite
8) whacks off wrong mirror image
9) hits a baseball to the out field wrong slice
10) passes with the wrong arm
11) doesn't look anything like a switch hand MJ layup
12) have a thread on ISH about this
13) It's all Fu$kn weird



on and on and on ................

left handed hitters have better looking swing compare to right handed batters.
