There have been some really great and proficient lefties in the history of the NBA, but Dwight Howard says that his Rockets teammate, James Harden, tops them all.
Dwight took to twitter on Monday, to get a consensus of who fans thought was the best lefty ever.
Who's the best left handed player ever. I'm goin with James

Howard — based off his impulsive tweet — believes Harden is better than 11-time NBA champion Bill Russell, Willis Reed, and 10-time NBA All-Star and two-time NBA champion David Robinson as well.
Twitter was quick to reinforce those greats for Howard.
@DwightHoward bill Russell, David Robinson. Explains why you haven't developed as much as we had hoped. You don't know the history

Hoping to save face, Howard changed that assessment to shooters of all-time.
