And many Championship contenders/Dynasties
Not saying they MUST have a lefty, I am saying it might help...
A lefty player that is part of the rotation.
Not sure if this coincidence or if having a lefty as a threat opens up the game for the team.
It is tough to defend lefty's there strokes just seem much better.
Maybe its to have a player that can finish well better on the left hand side of the court.
Heat *Bosh*
Lakers *Fisher*
Spurs *Manu
OKC *Harden*
Bulls * Kukoc*
What do you guys think, coincidence, or not?
Coincidence probably. Something like 10% of the world's population is left-handed so it makes sense that there would be a left-handed player on a team.

Exactly. I'd bet most of the teams that finished with the worst record in the league each year also had a lefty.
Kostas Papanikolaou is a lefty- I think the Knicks may have seen this post.
From our 2 title teams:
Willis Reed
Phil Jackson
Dick Barnett
Mike Rhiordan
Donnie May (on '69 team, I think)
