Another note on Lenard’s shot, he was shooting with both hands as you see both hands propel the ball forward. He has the biggest hands in the NBA — doesn’t need that like some smaller handed guys. The pic on the right, the off hand (his left) is support only. Beautiful.

On another note, I really appreciate this article as it’s helped me — finally, at 35, realize I was (am) left handed.

You and Redick are absolutely right with Simmons and Jordan respectively. I went up through high school being ‘ambidextrous.’ Despite having smaller hands — couldn’t palm a basketball — I could ‘cup’ and dunk with the left hand, not lose the ball driving with the left, and many other contortions on layups — but yet, my yet shot jump shot & free throws with the right hand. Layups ironically, with my right I looked a lot like Ben Simmons as you pointed out, but flipped — almost always using the left if at all possible. I was a right leg jumper too. The funny thing is in practice, I’d shoot set shots from 3 with my left hand and stroke a better percentage.

Again, appreciate you pointing all this out, so I won’t make the same mistake with my son(s).
