List of Left-Handed NBA Players
Being left-handed in basketball is not bad or disadvantageous. In fact, lefties can have upper hand in many cases such as against defenders who are usually trained against right-handed players. But, despite all this, left-handers or southpaws constitute a very small proportion of NBA players and the league is still dominated by right-handers.
The list below includes current and former NBA left-handed players. Most of these players are natural left handed shooters while others are ambidextrous and have the ability to use their both hands with equal ease. Some also became ambidextrous due to an injury like Bob Cousy who could dribble, pass and shoot with both hands after injuring his right one.
