great post Ewald and thanks for raising the topic.

Oh yeah and here are my thoughtd

LOCAL LEAGUE
Andy Simons

NBL
Leroy Loggins, Al Green and Chris Jent

NBA
Chris Mullin, David Robinson

INTERNATIONAL
Sauronaus (?) Marchilonas (?), Toni Kokoc

Slim pickings.

Some handy names there Marian;

I'd also throw in Michael Redd who plays for the Bucks and who can flat-out score.

Surely there must be more.

Darren Martin was a lefty and used to Dominate the State League

Oh yeah, Ricky Grace (ssh, don't tell the Sixers, they haven't worked it out for the 15 years Ricky's been in the league).

I'm on fire now: from the NBA, Lamar Odom. Another NBL dude: that Green fellow who rides the bench for the Tigers.

is ricki grace a lefty? if so i didnt kno that

and if he is lefty he gets my vote

My all Star 5 for lefties includes:
Willis Reed
Lenny Wilkens
Larry Bird
David Robinson
Bill Russell

Honourable mentions include: Chris Mullen, Nate Archibald and Bill Walton.

if you can have nba players my pick would be lamar odom

Hmm, not so sure about L. Bird being a lefty.

Unknown, you may have stumbled on something: besides the fact that Ricky Grace can only dribble with his left hand, and that he passes and shoots with his left hand, he might actually be a righty.

ISIAH!!!!!!!!! Possibly the greatest NBA PG of all time.

Is Isiah really a lefty?

Jalen Rose is definitely another.

I always thought D Martin was ambidexterious.

Isiah and Bird are right handed

I was interested in this post but pretty disappointed to see Lamar bandied about as 'one of the greatest'. Sheesh, he's alright but steady on - also debate about whether Grace is a lefty or not and Libertine's assertion that Isiah was a lefty!!! Please!!! For the most prolific poster on this site are you for real? I also have a sneaking suspicion that Ewald and Marian are aliases of the same poster.

If Isiah is a lefty then damn he has a f**ken nice right handed shot...

who is he ?

Leah Mencel is a girl, who plays probably now Under 20's.... Womens!
As far as i know, she is at the AIS.

I have a sneaking suspicion, Billo, that you could be on the money about Marian and I being the same poster.

Except for the part where we're not.

I found this article about lefties in the NBA though:

http://miniclip2.topcities.com/article109.htm

It mentions other notable lefties include N. Van Exel, Z. Randolph and M. Ginobli.

leah mencel is still U18, and yes she is at the AIS

A quote I liked from the text

"The word "left" comes from an Old English word meaning "weak" or "worthless."

Cherie Smith for the eagles/lightning is a handy player to say the least, and that Suzy Batkovich from the Opals....both lefties.

Bench: Chris Bosh, Jalen Rose, Nick Van Exel, Calvin Booth, Tayshaun Prince,Damon Stoudamire, Morris Peterson
