My Take

Livingston's career is one of the great comeback stories in modern sports. That knee injury in 2007 was so gruesome people assumed he'd never play again, let alone become a key rotation piece on a championship team. He reinvented himself as the ultimate midrange specialist, that turnaround jumper over smaller guards was automatic, and as a steadying veteran presence off the bench for the Warriors. At 6'7" he played point guard the way it looked drawn up on a chalkboard. Three rings and a story of resilience that's almost more impressive than the hardware. Real respect for this guy.

Overview

Shaun Livingston is an American former professional basketball player who spent 15 seasons in the NBA. A highly touted point guard drafted fourth overall by the Los Angeles Clippers straight out of high school in 2004, he suffered a devastating knee injury in 2007 but returned to forge a long career. He won three NBA championships with the Golden State Warriors during their dynasty years.
