AI shot half of his 3point competition's shots with his left, he's as close as i've seen in the nba, he doesn't have a weak hand. lebron finishes amazingly well with both hands (i think he'll end pretty close to perfectly ambidextrous for bball).

and stro swift can throw perfect windmills with both hands.

 

This isn't really NBA-related, but when I was like 12-13 at basketball camp, we had a local DII ball player come visit us who could use either hand equally as well as the other. He did a demonstration for us where he shot one handed shots and did some fancy dribbles using only one hand at a time, and looked just as good with both hands. He said he was naturally a lefty, but one spring he injured that arm badly and couldn't use it to play ball for something like 6 months. He didn't want to stop playing completely though, so he did dribbling and shooting exercises with his right. I guess six months of using only your bad hand makes it pretty good.

 

Larry Bird was. He did everything with his left hand such as writing, holding a fork, but he shot with his right hand and occasionally his left. That is as close as I ever saw.

 

Magic Johnson?

 

As someone in here mention LeBron, he does most everything with his left hand apparently except shoot. Which would explain why he is very good at finishing with his left hand.

 

I'm a righty, but I'm very good at finishing with the left hand, hehehe *wink-wink* :uhoh:

 

I think tpb2 said that LeBron eats and writes with his left hand and all that... he certainly looks just as comfortable using it as he does using his right. I think he stands out to me as the most dramatically ambidexterous player in the league. He does things with his left hand that most of the league can't do with their right.

Kobe shoots left-handed sometimes. Though he misses by a foot.

Sweet! :laugh: When he sprained his shoulder. Nasty.

 

LeBron does do everything with his left. He's made a number of shots left handed (other than lay-ups). I do not remember hearing about anyone else.

 

Tom Chambers. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but, I remember hearing about him breaking his hand or something, and he trained himself to shoot with his weaker hand while the other was injured, and then when it healed he could use both hands.

Also, Kenny Thomas of the Sixers can post up with either hand, which is really the thing he's best at, sometimes he surprises defenders by going with his left hand when they were expecting the other.

 

Jordan practiced shooting with both hands which he said made him twice the threat because he'd be comfortable going up with either hand or adjusting his shot.

 

Chris Kaman

is ambidextrous.

 

If you saw the Laker v Suns game yesterday, Kobe was shooting left handed and his shots were falling.

 

If I recall correctly, LeBron's ambidexterity is what impressed Jordan the most about him when they worked out together sometime...


Another very ambidextrous player is Steve Nash.

 

Lebron James.

I've heard that Ray Allen is so. Anyone want to research this?

Stuart

 

Oh, I know... I've heard that Darko Milicic is completely ambidextrous. I read that when the Pistons scouts worked him out, they couldn't tell if he was naturally right or left handed without being told.

 

Drew Neitzel, a HS senior who will be goin to Mich. State next year is ambidexterous. I've heard that he has played some games shooting with his left hand from the left and his right hand from the right.
I also read in the newspaper that he can consistently nail 3 pt. shots with either hand.

 

Bird, Lebron

 

I remember in a game against the Pacers, on one play LeBron drove past Ron Artest to the left and then laid it up high off the glass over Jermaine O'Neal with his left hand... and made it look like it was nothing. It was
