Of course. Bring your sneakers, too.
I played some last night. I've been dealing with some pain in my left should for the past month or so. It hurts to lift it up to shoot. It wasn't unbearable last so I had a pretty decent night. The pain forced me to shoot with my right more which was kind of fun. During one game, I'd say I shot more than half my shots with my right hand. Didn't do too poorly either.

Whoa. Karl is a hook.

Did not know this.
I've used it to my advantage for years now. I have friends who have guarded me for years who still say they forget to shut off my left. What's funny is I'm better dribbling with my right hand so it throws everyone off on drives.

With a passion. Mainly because I hate talking on the phone, but also because I seem to have a much higher success rate when I can actually interact in person.

I hope you get it Carl.
They aren't as bad as video interviewing in my opinion. I had a tough time understanding the lady I talked to yesterday. I just had to pretend I knew what she was saying more than a few times because I got tired of asking her to repeat herself.

Video interviews are the worst because they almost always have a 2-3 second delay so you find yourselves interrupting each other constantly.
I would think video interviews would be better. Gives them a chance to get a better sense of you. And didn't you say your wife says you look like Bradley Cooper? That...wouldn't hurt in a job selection process.

Those things are great but trying to communicate effectively is difficult. Also, the lack of eye contact is hard. Everyone looks at their screens and not the cameras so it feels like everyone is talking to someone else in a video conference.

Hmm. I've never done a video interview but have had plenty of zoom calls and didn't encounter this problem.

Best of luck! Hope you get it.

I'm not good enough to use my off hand but that has to be fun. Have you heard of salonpas?? It's amazing for sore muscles and stuff like that.
Is it like Deep Heat of Bengay?

As a big I forced myself to shoot with either hand under the hoop. I'm not as strong with my right but I will use it from 7-10 feet if necessary.
It's somewhat similar, I just find it to be much more effective. I use it on my shoulder whenever it hurts.

Yeah, it's just an OTC thing. I have gotten them at Walmart/safeway/etc.
