Mixed-Handedness

 















Wall Street Journal – "These NBA Stars Are Left-Handed. Except When They Play Basketball."

"LeBron James writes with his left hand, eats with his left hand and uses his dominant left hand for almost everything in his life—except his job. He is a natural lefty and basketball righty.



This may be the weirdest thing about having a hidden physical idiosyncrasy known as mixed-handedness: It’s actually not that weird if you work in the NBA.

About 8% of the league’s All-Stars over the last decade write with one hand and play with the other, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis based on examining photographs of NBA players signing autographs. "
