Wow! Tristan Thompson is switching hands!!!

[Gabjon]

He is going from a left handed player to a righted handed player. This is the first NBA player to switch his shooting hand in NBA history. Please feel free to insert your own joke here...

Odd I never considered myself that special... But apparently I am part of a "small sliver of multihanded people" I write/eat/drink/brush teeth lefty and I do everything athletic righty.

My dad is fully ambidextrous and used to play QB and pitch, which I'm sure was a bit annoying for other teams

 

[Gabjon]

I'm lefty and can do a few things right handed...but after 20 years of shooting lefty to switch to the right hand is crazy.

I think Greg Harris was the major league reliever who had a glove that could fit either hand. He could throw both. They have a rule that you have to declare one or the other before you pitch in a specific game, though.

I hope he doesn't switch hands with Keita.

The Yankees had a minor leaguer do it in a spring training game a couple of years ago (2010).

The rule is you must declare prior to pitching to a batter, then you can't switch until the batter is retired, reaches bases or the inning ends.

MLB Rule 8.01 (f), regarding ambidextrous pitchers
A pitcher must indicate visually to the umpire-in-chief, the batter and any runners the hand with which he intends to pitch, which may be done by wearing his glove on the other hand while touching the pitcher's plate. The pitcher is not permitted to pitch with the other hand until the batter is retired, the batter becomes a runner, the inning ends, the batter is substituted for by a pinch-hitter or the pitcher incurs an injury. In the event a pitcher switches pitching hands during an at-bat because he has suffered an injury, the pitcher may not, for the remainder of the game, pitch with the hand from which he has switched. The pitcher shall not be given the opportunity to throw any preparatory pitches after switching pitching hands. Any change of pitching hands must be indicated clearly to the umpire-in-chief.

I feel like this is something Devo could have done relatively easily, to be honest.

I swear that I saw him shot a left handed baseline jumper from 10-12 feet in a game. It would have been in the 1st half, because it was the opposing team's end of the court. Anyone else recall that. In 1st halves, I was not usually drunk nor hallucinatory.

I'm the exact same way. Don't know many other people like us.

I always noticed nobody else in my school was the same way, but I guess it never occured to me as being something that out of the ordinary

Maybe too much hair grew on the right hand. "made you look".:rolling:

 

[AccuRater]

"This is the first NBA player to switch his shooting hand in NBA history."

Maybe the second.

Dolph Schayes broke his right arm and played nearly a full season with his arm in a cast. That year he shot with his left hand along with his two-handed "rainbow" set shots.

I remember one game, no clue who it was against, late in the shot clock foul line extended by the bench, he got around someone and knocked down like a 15 or 17 foot left handed jumper right as it expired, too.

George Miken did the same thing.

I changed hands once. I called it the stranger.

Thompson is playing for the Canadian national team right now and hit two clutch right handed free throws down the stretch tonight to beat scumbag by association Patrick Ewing Jr. And Jamaica.

Of note to SU fans, Andy is playing and had a fantastic fourth quarter.
