"I like lefties," the Miami Heat head coach said, "but that's not why we have all of them."
All of them—he could not have put it a better way.
Lefties make up roughly 12 percent of the world's population. A normal 15-man NBA roster, then, should feature just one or two. The 2015-16 campaign actually trends a little below average, as only 39 of the 423 players to log a minute are left-handed (9.2 percent).
But the Heat have been collecting southpaws like coupons for the holiday shopping season.
