Remember that time you wanted to become ambidextrous so you spent an entire summer writing the alphabet with your left hand?
Oh, you…you don’t?
That’s probably because it’s weird, but that’s exactly what Toronto Raptors’ DeMar DeRozan did, according to TSN’s Josh Lewenberg.
In the hopes of becoming an ambidextrous player, DeRozan said he wrote the alphabet with his left hand almost everyday during the summer

It’s a bit unconventional, but DeRozan did say earlier this summer he would like to do more with his left hand, and if this works it will certainly make him more versatile with the ball. Being able to drive to the basket should help him cut down on his mid-range shots (18 percent of his shots came from the 10-to-16 foot range) which could get his shooting percentage up from 42.9 percent.
And if writing the alphabet with his left hand doesn’t work, he can always try actually dribbling a ball with it. But whatever works, DeRozan.
