Julius Randle might go down as the best "leftie" EVER

[imnew09]

This guy is unstoppable in the post, can dribble and finish it off easily with his left hand.

What a great pick for the Lakers. He is gonna be a franchise player for sure

[lakerfreak]

Oh no....

[RoundMoundOfReb]

:biggums:

Bill Russell?? David Robinson?? Randle probably wont even be as good as Chris Bosh

Also I believe LeBron and Bird are actually left handed but they shoot right handed...

[Fudge]

Could be the greatest Laker ever too.

Gonna start calling dude BEAST MODE.

[Im so nba'd out]

Kobetards reaching a new low :facepalm

:biggums:

Being an unproven draftee, nothing wrong with this statement at all. He could be a huge bust, he could be a borderline star.


I do like what I see in him though.

[KyrieTheFuture]

What does being left handed have to do with giving head?

Bill russell played against dwarfs bro

[TMT]

I think Randle is going to be great, but Manu has already got that on lock.

Good topic.

What is the all-time lefthanded team?

C: Bill Russell
PF: David Robinson (debateable with Duncan and him interchangeable)
SG: James Harden

Off the top of my head, can't think of other players.

Willis Reed and Dave Cowens are also lefties, center position is STACKED with lefties all-time.

Also Lanier, with perhaps best left handed sweeping hook shot.

Manu off the bench. Goodrich at point maybe?

Harden starting over Manu?

...Julius Randle? Dude hasn't played a single NBA game yet :oldlol:

[MP.Trey]

Harden starting over Manu?
I'm just used to Manu being in the sixth man role. Manu would probably play more.l hypothetically.

[MP.Trey]

There's our other wing player. Knew I was forgetting someone.

[NugzFan]

Homers gonna homer

[Meticode]

Some people really don't know about NBA left handers apparently. :oldlol:

Dave Cowens
Tiny Archibald
David Robinson
Willis Reed
Artis Gilmore
Billy Cunningham
Bob Lanier
Bill Russell

and if you're going to mention Chris Bosh at all, I think you should have to mention Manu.

Mr. Cowens was awesome. averaged 19/16/4 for one season.

[AirFederer]

OP meant left footed guys :confusedshrug:



:biggums:

[CavaliersFTW]

Mr. Cowens was awesome. averaged 19/16/4 for one season.
And was an MVP - and is one of few centers in NBA history who actually fits the "short white guy" description

I learned recently he was only 6-8.5 without shoes, with a 6-9 wingspan ...neither tall nor long, that's a half inch shorter than Larry Bird. Was beasting as a center in the prime Jabbar and Dr. J era though due to advantages in open floor speed, ability to stretch the floor with his shot and physical toughness inside. Wish he had some stans on Youtube that had mixes of him, what little footage I've seen from the early to mid 70's he looked fun to watch and was an interesting matchup against the bigger centers.

[zoom17]

What a dumb post OP.

[Eric Cartman]

This deserves a full red bar.

Maybe a ban.

[hawkfan]

So my top 5 is:

PG: Tiny Archibald
SG: Manu Ginobili
C: Bill Russell
PF: David Robinson
SF: Chris Mullin (did Dave Cowens play much small forward - if he did, he could be here)

The bigs for left handers is stacked, as someone posted.

[Burgz V2]

Willis Reed and Dave Cowens are also lefties, center position is STACKED with lefties all-time.

Gail Goodrich at the point? :confusedshrug:

[G.O.A.T]

I'm just glad someone finally said it.

I mean how long were we gonna wait? Preseason? A few regular season games? Till he's old enough to drink? **** that.

Randle hasnt played ONE NBA game and best leftie of all time ?? good lord:facepalm

Damn is there any Laker fan who isn't dumb? I've been posting since March 2003 and haven't seen any...

[TheCalmInsanity]

This is the best time of the year, the time people watch Summer League and take everything super seriously

"OMG MY TEAM LOST A SUMMER LEAGUE GAME.. WE WON'T MAKE PLAYOFFS THIS YEAR"

"Wow we have great passing and good defense.. championship is in sight"

"OMG this player is amazing, unstoppable in the post against these summer league players that will mostly never be on an NBA team but will try repeatedly"

When will people learn Summer League is literally like a glorified practice? They're scrimmages.

[imnew09]

Y'all stupid as fk. Randle has great potential because he can shoot, post up and dribble. One advantage that he has that most other players lack is that Randle is going to be playing along side with one of the best footwork player, Kobe. Randle has a great chance at ROY, and becoming an All star later on in his career.

18ppg 8rb easy

Only Willis Reed he might not surpass, but the rest, not a hard task

[BoutPractice]

Ok, so you dismissed Bill Russell with the usual argument.

What's your argument to dismiss David Robinson, who was an NBA MVP in the 90s playing against Hakeem, Shaq, Ewing etc.? Go on, entertain me.

[KG215]

Manu >> Harden. Maybe if Harden was at least passable on the defensive end, I'd give him the starting nod, but he's laughingly, embarrassingly terrible on defense. I'm not sure Manu, as a number one option, would've been capable of putting up 25 PPG on 60ish TS%, but he probably could've averaged 20-22 PPG on similar efficiency, and he's a better playmaker and actually a pretty solid defender at the 2-guard position.

[dr.hee]

So my top 5 is:

PG: Tiny Archibald
SG: Manu Ginobili
C: Bill Russell
PF: David Robinson
SF: Chris Mullin (did Dave Cowens play much small forward - if he did, he could be here)

Solid list. I'll add reserves and yes, Derek Fisher. Every team needs a few non superstars. And Fisher wasn't the scrub Kobe stans are pretending all the time.

PG: Tiny Archibald/Goran Dragic/Derek Fisher
SG: Manu Ginobili/James Harden/Cuttino Mobley(?)
SF: Chris Mullin/Toni Kukoc/Tayshaun Prince
PF: David Robinson/ Dave Cowens/Chris Bosh
C: Bill Russell/Artis Gilmore/Mark Eaton

[GimmeThat]

I didn't know shooting with your off hand was such a big deal that it gets its own category

[imnew09]

This guy is unstoppable in the post, can dribble and finish it off easily with his left hand.

From 2014. On point like always
