#5 He’s ambidextrous!

Over the years, we have seen some players with massive potential not achieve the heights they were expected to because they were poor on their weaker side. What made Lebron great is his ability to play with either hand. Although he writes and eats with his left hand, when it comes to shooting, he prefers his right. Early in his career on the court people used to push him to his (on court) weaker left which gave him problems.

LeBron was still more than capable of going left or right and finishing at the ring or with a jump shot, his ambidexterity did not give him the edge that it gave to players like Steve Nash and Larry Bird, who were near impossible to guard as they had no favored side.

But after years of hard work and relentless practice now one can say with conviction that LeBron James does not have a weaker side. In fact, he has now got the ability to decide which hand to shoot with mid-air much like his idol the great Michael Jordan.

The NBA slogan reads “Where amazing happens” and there could be no one better to define it than LeBron James. Call him arrogant, dominant, or any of the 'n' adjectives that you can think of.The fact is over the duration of the 48 minutes on the court he never ceases to amaze us. Considering he’s 31 now and looks fit as an ox, we can look forward to seeing a lot more of the trademark LeBron in the coming years.
