    Livingston was on his was to being a top PG before that knee injury he had great vision. Teflair was always overrated to me I bet adidas still mad about giving him that 13 mill.

    Weed. Period.

    My boy played Trailblazer summer league with him back in the day and he said he walked around in a cloud of Kush all day/A-Day.

    TOP PG? naw idk about all that he still had a lot of wholes in his game, he was still lacking a outside shoot and struggled defensively...his court vision was top notch though...
    either way its a miracle he came back with half the ability he had....

    lol i just noticed his injury video is completely deleted off of youtube

    He still got a run right? Whats the problem? Not everybody is going to be Chris or Deron.



    i get that but ppl thought he would be a star

    Rucker Park scouts don't count. Dude went 13th in a draft where some dude named Shaun Livingston went 4th.


    I didn't believe in the Knee Collector until that dude named Shaun came around and got ? up ....................u didn't have to have a previous injury, after seeing that ? , you was wincing like you ? up your leg right there........

    nothing went wrong. He is what he is and hype overrated him. He is a small point guard who isnt athletic like AI or KJ or Marbury were.... He cant shoot. So in the NBA he was only gonna be a back up type pg ala Jaque Vaugh type. HE is still in the league so he good.

    Sebastian set out what he wanted to do and that was get his family out the projects. Not saying he never had any aspirations of being a top player in the nba....but when you watch the doc you can see how badly he wanted to move his folk out.

    Staying in college a few years would've meant another year or more for his family in the ghetto.

    LMAO dudes best season before the injure was 9, 5 and 3 and playing 30 minutes a game. He was doing those same numbers in Oklahoma in 09.

    Dude was a higher and better prospect than Sebastian Telfair....and he aint ? . The dude picked after Sebastian is Kris Humphries. Telfair is actually doing quite well for himself all things considered.

    What are you talking about? Dude is basically the same player he was before the injury. Which is 9 points, 5 assists amd 3 rebounds a game....in 30 minutes.

    see the things is in everyones town across america there is a kid that "is going to the nba" times that by thousands.... when you get to reality a very small portion of "the greatest player you seen growing up" actually has the true skill, and the will to even goto college and make something for themselves let alone.. make it to the nba... So yeah more things went right for Sebastian than went wrong... because he is still in the league and has done some life and game maturation along the way

    Anybody who says Livingston is the same player that he was pre-injury shouldn't be talkin sports...

    It's a blessing everytime he runs up the court.

    How can his career be altered when he is averaging the same numbers he was before the injury. Im not saying he's ? ...he is who he is a 9 and 5 guy. Ain't nothing wrong with it...that's the whole point of this thread right?

    If you want a comparison....check out what the point guard that was taken in the 2005 draft at #4 did. Dude was never going to be a top tier PG.
