Which players have you watched could dunk easily with their off-hand?

Off the top of my head, these where the guys I've seen dunk easily (and often) with their off-hand:


Scottie Pippen (righty who dunked plenty of times with his left hand)
Otis Thorpe (probably had hands as big as Shaq's)
Mark West (seen him dunk on guys like the Admiral easily with his off-hand)
Derrick Coleman (I think I recall him throwing one down on Shaq with his right hand)
Anthony Mason (same as Coleman)
DeAndre Jordan (does he even dunk with his left hand?)



There's other players I've seen dunk with their off-hand (MJ, Shaq, Kobe), but not nearly as many as I've seen with these guys. I'm not including guys like Lebron, who though he writes with his left hand, he uses his right hand to shoot when he plays basketball. These are guys who shoot with one hand, but have done plenty of dunks with the other.

Pretty good list, pretty unfair how you are not including Lebron to fit some weird ass narrative you have.

How is that unfair? He shoots with his right hand and dunks with his right hand (can't recall seeing him dunk with his left hand, he probably has, but I don't remember seeing it).

He only writes with his left hand. Everything else with regards to basketball, he does with his right hand.

Jermaine Oneal. He was good on both ends of the floor too using his left hand often to block shots.

John Wall. Guy dunks more with his left than his right.

Damn, how'd I forget him? I can't even recall him dunking with his right hand.

This one dunk should automatically qualify him!! Ha, but in all seriousness he does use his left more than most players from what I have watched...

Also Carlos Boozer loved to dunk with his left hand

LeBron's a very powerful and natural dunker with his left. Alhough that is his natural writing hand so he's always had that ambidextrous ability.

John Wall actually seems to prefer dunking with his left. I wonder if he has the same thing going on LeBron does.

Also Carlos Boozer loved to dunk with his left handBoozer is a great pick. I've tended to notice a running theme among a lot of the off-handers — the tendency to have the ability to palm the ball like a mo-fo (Pippen, Thorpe, Boozer) which in turn makes things that much easier when attacking the rim with the off hand.

I'm always amazed at how David Lee is left out of these conversations. I couldn't tell which was his favored hand.

:biggums:

So your excluding him off this list because he writes left handed?

Tf kind of sense ur making

LeBron, obviously. Especially in transition.

T-Mac has to be there too. Dunked often with his left. And layup-wise, he was actually a better finisher with his left hand.

Lebron is right-handed when it comes to basketball. His off-hand then would be his left hand, which he doesn't use that often.

How hard is that to understand?

He's ambidextrous.

Since someone's got to post about old guys: Dave Cowens and Paul Westphal tended to do their one-handed dunks with their off hand. I believe Westphal did it because he could palm the ball better with his left hand than his right.

Dennis Rodman was another low key right-foot takeoff, left-hand finish guy during his days in Detroit (and parts of San Antonio). I mean, I think he definitely preferred the righty finish, but he didn't shy away from flushing left either.

Agreed. That's the first guy I thought of too. I notice because it's so unsual. Seems like he jumps off the wrong foot too at times.
