Alright, let’s talk about this Angel Reese girl, the one they call “Bayou Barbie.” Folks keep askin’, “Is Angel Reese left-handed?” Well, it ain’t as simple as yes or no, see?
This girl, she’s a basketball player, a good one too from what I hear. Folks are all confused about which hand she uses, ’cause she handles that ball real good with both. She dribbles and passes with either hand, smooth as butter, makes you dizzy watchin’. But when it comes to shootin’, that’s where things get interestin’.
Now, Angel herself, she done said on that Twitter thing, the one they call “X” now, that she’s actually right-handed. Yep, you heard that right. The girl’s a righty! But then, you see her playin’, and she’s shootin’ the ball with her left hand most of the time. Confusin’, ain’t it?
- She handles the ball good with both hands.
- She says she’s right-handed.
- But she shoots mostly with her left hand.
So what’s the deal? Well, from what I gathered listenin’ to the young folks talk, it seems Angel, she’s one of them “ambidextrous” types. That’s a fancy word, means she can use both hands good. Like my cousin Billy, he could chop wood with either hand, strong as an ox he was. Anyways, Angel, she prefers shootin’ with her left hand, even though she’s naturally right-handed.
Her brother, that JuJu fella, he said somethin’ about her shootin’ left-handed. Seems like they played ball together when they were kids, so he should know, right? He even joked about beatin’ her one-on-one. Siblings, always teasin’ each other, ain’t they? Just like my grandkids, always bickerin’ but love each other deep down.
Now, I heard tell this girl hurt her left wrist. That’s a shame, injuries are no good. Makes you wonder if she’ll start shootin’ more with her right hand now. Maybe we’ll see a whole new Angel next season. It’d be like watchin’ a whole different player, wouldn’t it? This girl’s got all that talent though, probably can do anything she sets her mind to, just like my prize-winning tomatoes.
Folks also talk about how stylish she is, always gettin’ her nails done before games. They call her “Bayou Barbie,” I reckon that’s because she’s pretty and plays good. She got recruited by all sorts of colleges. She is famous now, all the kids wanna be like her. I remember when everyone wanted to be like Michael Jordan. Ah well, times change, don’t they?
So, to answer the question, is Angel Reese left-handed? Well, she ain’t just left-handed. She’s right-handed too, but chooses to shoot with her left. It’s like she got two good hands, lucky girl. Like havin’ two good arms to carry groceries, makes life easier, don’t it? It just goes to show, you can’t always judge a book by its cover, or a basketball player by their shootin’ hand.
And let me tell you somethin’, it don’t really matter which hand she shoots with, as long as she gets that ball in the hoop. That’s what counts, right? Reminds me of my grandson, he ain’t the fastest runner, but he always gets to where he needs to be. It’s all about gettin’ the job done, no matter how you do it.
This ambidextrous thing, it’s a gift, I tell ya. It makes her a better player, more unpredictable. Defenders don’t know which way she’s gonna go, which hand she’s gonna use. It gives her an edge, you see? Like havin’ a secret weapon up your sleeve. Just like my secret ingredient in my apple pie, nobody ever guesses what it is.
Anyways, that’s all there is to it. Angel Reese, right-handed but shoots left-handed. An ambidextrous player. A good player. End of story. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go water my plants. They don’t water themselves, you know.
