Re: Who has the greatest off-hand in NBA History?
One of the hardest things to do with your off hand is to dribble three times hard with the weak hand in traffic while accelerating. The mind will usually cut it off. Its something you will might never see from even a great dribbler like Chris Paul because the mind will usually short circuit it. You will only see that from Rose and John Wall. Pretty sure they are the two fastest to dribble with their left hand the full court as well (they might be the fastest ever anyway?).
Even if you go to the park and practice going hard to your left or weak hand while accelerating, the mind will demand a change after the second dribble.

Re: Who has the greatest off-hand in NBA History?
Considering that LeBron is actually a left-handed person, he technically shoots every shot with his off-hand. With layups, he's about 50/50, and we all know his boring-but-impressive tomahawk jam is with the right. So I'd go with him since the vast majority of his scoring is done with his off-hand.
P.S. Why the **** would a guy learn to shoot with his off hand in the first place? It's like those fools who learn guitar backward for no damn reason. I'll bet it wouldn't have taken him so long to become a good shooter, and his shooting would probably be more consistent, if he would have just grown up using his dominant hand to shoot.

Lol... Doesn't that confirm GOAT skill level already? That sole fact?
Left-hander worked on shooting right-handed and did so throughout his entire career while developing an elite 3-point shot AND spot-up jumpshot? ...

Great college starter
Re: Who has the greatest off-hand in NBA History?
Kyrie can finish with his left pretty well. I doubt I'm the only one to have called some of his layups 'Jordanesque'.
He also hits shots like this on the regular.
Am not sure if he's ambidextrous...but he sure looks like it at times.
