It’s typical for guys to make adjustments part-way through their careers, but even this may be a bit extreme. Tristan Thompson from the Cavaliers is undergoing a change this offeason. He will change the hand in which he shoots with.
That’s right, he will now shoot free throws and jumpshots with his right rather than his left. Quite a change to make at this point of his basketball life.
“I was in Phoenix (last November) and I just started shooting right-handed and got a lot of compliments on it,” Thompson said this week while in training camp with the Canadian national team.
“At first I didn’t want to do it. I got to the NBA shooting right-handed, but then I thought about it and at the end of the day I want to be the best player I can be for the Cavaliers and the best player I can be for myself and if that takes me making an adjustment in my jump shot or anything else, why not make that switch?”
