I am dedicating this thread to left handed players overall.
Who do you think is the best pound for pound left handed player of all time?
How about current?
Who is the best pure lefty shooter from 3 or mid range?
Who is the best dunker as a lefty?
Is there a significant advantage of being lefty in the NBA?
Personally watching lefties is interesting and fun, especially Harden and Jennings.
Here is my list:
Best pound for pound of all time? I honestly don't know.
Current: I am biased and will James Harden.
Best pure shooting lefty: Don't know either.
Best dunker: Josh Smith.
Discuss...

Re: Left handed players (pure shooters or not)
Although David Robinson weighs alot of pounds he was the best pound for pound. Harden should be the best lefty at the moment.

Re: Left handed players (pure shooters or not)
Chris Mullin was one of the best shooters ever, and he is left handed.
It gives you a great advantage because the default way you're taught to guard someone is for a right handed player. If you guard a lefty the same way, your hand is trying to contest the wrong side of their body.
It's like how a left handed pitcher has the advantage over right handed batters.

He is not the best but you can put Toni Kukoc in that category.
