That’s why I love the Warriors organization. They have a talent for scooping up diamonds in the rough and turning them into stars. Shaun had a warrior mentality through every challenge he faced.
@ I was referring to after his injury when he was bouncing from team to team. Similar to GP2 landing in golden state and finding his stride there. and yes Shaun always had a warrior mentality. 💯
I followed Livingston closely through his career. I don’t know how many times he magically appeared wide open under the basket on the sneakiest back door cuts in the league. Thanks for making a video celebrating this CHAMPION.
Warriors found a replacement for the 2 ways; Wiggins was a nice addition for the 2022 championship and since then has reversed . Iggy we ain’t found nobody probably podz but he got years before getting up to that level
Sean Livingston's career literally was a miracle. Looking at that injury, you would think the odds of him coming back to peak performance was impossible.. Living in NJ, I was a Nets fan, and Sean Marks took the chance with Sean Livingston, and rehabbed his career. Where the league took notice when he played with the Nets. Because of the league rules Nets could not re-sign him, and GSW took advantage.
@@seankeegan4468it’s a meme that someone created and everyone ran with it. He’s from Peoria , ( 309 ) that’s the area code. Idk why anyone would believe this lol
I just searched it up it says he shot 100% from midrange not saying googles 100% correct but that might be why people say that (1309 attempts 1309 made)
@@jiggsortiz9020 I literally watched him play on the warriors like every game. Dude absolute fucking cash from midrange. But he missed midranges xD It was a troll that's not spiraled into truth because the internet is losing autonomy over truth
Not a warriors fan but I did notice his play. Did not know he had a serious injury early in his career. Good to know. We can only appreciate his greatness in the game.
He's a perfect example of how the 8th man can make a huge difference. Much like Boris Diaw on the 2014 Spurs, he was a menace chewing up tired starters and overwhelmed subs. Depth matters
Warriors have a unique way of scouting out players to mesh with they’re team members. They look not just externally. They look below the surface & have faith in their ppl , valuing quality of character above all. It’s refreshing to see and a testament to their unique success 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽 A very innovative organization
A truly inspiring story about one of the most underrated players in the league! This has to be one of those golden nuggets from the whole lore of professional basketball ever. Although, I was expecting a little sneak peek into the mechanics of how Shaun perfected his longest streak in made shots at mid-range.
I grew up near Peoria, IL and there has been some really great basketball talent from that area, including a trio of players that won 4 high school championships in a row. But none of them had the hype of Shaun. What a comeback and to see him achieve greatness with the Warriors was nothing short of incredible.
I remember watching a number of games where the Warriors would seem stagnant, no one was scoring. Livingston would get subbed in, hit his trademark midrange, and it seemed to take the lid of the basket and get the rest of the team going. Such a poised, reliable player.
When I saw his leg snap that game, it was one of the worst feelings. To then see him bounce back, join the Warriors and lead them to championships alongside Steph, Klay, Iggy, Dray and Bogut...legendary!
Not sure I understand the way youre saying these numbers, cuz when i look him up, it says he has a 48% scoring percentage... but great video. I did specify midrange in my search
@@BALLEDIN technically IT IS A MISS, and whoever made the putback dunk points obviously gets those points. Having followed Shaun on GSW even though efficient on his midrange game, I've seen him miss. Only fans who watch highlights on UA-cam, or even you got fooled on this one. One particular game I'm sure he missed was that famous Cavaliers vs. Warriors on 2016 Christmas day. It was on the 2nd quarter, and he missed two midrange shots, and yeah, I'm a GSW fan and watch whole games.
@@BALLEDINu literally saw this on the internet nd ran w it if u really know basketball it’s no player in history that’s perfect from anywhere from the field or ft line ts sad🤦🏽♂️
I still remember watching it live and it was terrible to witness. Glad he bounced back and won a chip or two with the Warriors. he was definitely Mr. midshot dependable dude in every situation.
bro what? do you know anything about medical care? the doctor was trying to help his patient, so i’m not sure why you think you’re so smart. this is some prime hindsight bias.
@Invisible_Fury a doctor's good intention should not be confused with his ability. A kind but totally incompetent doctor can really SCREW things up! In this case, if Shaun listened to his doctor, he would've been an amputee instead of a NBA champion. How ignorant can you be to not understand that?
@ What you just said to me proves that you don’t know what happened at all. it is YOUR ignorance that is calling for a good doctor to get fired. here’s what actually happened: the doctor CONSIDERED amputation because of the severity of the injury, the pain shaun was suffering, and the question mark of whether the surgeries would even be successful or not. The doctor actually said that if the surgery did not go as planned, THEN they need to discuss amputation. luckily, the surgery went well and shaun was able to recover. the doctor NEVER tried to just straight up amputate his patients leg. so you’re completely making up a story to make this doctor look bad. it’s completely ignorant. you’re the kind of person to falsely accuse someone and send them to jail for a long time. it’s dangerous.
I'm a warriors fan and i always noticed livingstin came off the bench and never seemed to miss midrange, usually baseline jumpers. I was sad too see he left the roster.
I believe in Shaun Livingston man. When he enters the court to sub the starters I already knew he was gonna hold things down and maintain the gap that the starters made. Couldn't ask for a better second unit member.
Very good video, i liked Shaun's game style. I only saw him up close at the championship celebration in Sunnyvale. He looked like one of my home boys but way taller.
Shaun was the only NBA player I’ve seen out in public. Him and his homeboy were picking up some food from Chicago for Ribs restaurant in LA. That’s all, just wanted to share that.
my guy is way way much more better than those who were still playing out there. having the mentality and courage to work hard and get back to play at the highest level of basketball is greatness.
Livingston was my favourite player in that old GSW roster, I feel at ease whenever they put that man in the court knowing his disgusting mid range would go in every single time.
If you a fan of LeBron and watched all the finals runs you know Shaun Livingston is hated by many but also respected and loved by many so many game changing shots
He learned how to land, softening the blow on his knees by shifting the weight from his upper body by slapping his hands on the floor to absorb that contact.
I always get confused by this. I see so many headlines that he has never missed a midrange shot tho I see stats and shot graphs that show plenty of missed shots (midrange included.) Pretty sure I've seen him miss shots when we was playing as well. So where does this headline come from?
Thank you! I was looking for this comment. The video even says he took 1309 and made all of them🤦🏻♂️ This is no longer a an exaggeration, it’s a statement that doesn’t align with the facts.
Because he never missed. All of those videos of him missing are AI. You have been fooled. I watched all of his professional games and never once saw him miss a mid range.
whats your opinion?👀
GEMUS
Hot take here but warning before a closeup of the knee would have kept my dinner in my stomach.
He was so valuable to the Warriors dynasty that the organization should consider retiring his number.
dude wtf D Wade was better at mid range
This is complete nonsense. You are a straight-up liar. ua-cam.com/video/dYbp42WRFso/v-deo.htmlsi=E2qpmiv2bFXO4zrB
he had one of the greatest career comebacks in nba history
Correct, from injury to 3x NBA rings
lowkey up there in the 6 man GOAT debate...
Agreed
Facts
He truly did, I was a kid watching nba when I saw him destroy both his knees in a game and it was traumatizing
He is the true mid range king cause that is his only game. He doesnt shoot threes, just fade away mid range. I miss it
Besides Steph and Klay. Shaun was the most entertaining player on the team. His high release mid range was a spectacle. And he doesnt miss
i think all the warriors fan miss him.
@@rainwardell30i remember shaun carrying gsw on i think it was a playoff game with 20 points when the rest was on a slump

Dude, some of us need a little warning to see that knee bending the wrong way!
Such a good video on Sean. I loved watching him play with the Warriors -- so surgical and professional in high stakes games.
I'll never forget his injury and respect for coming back.
Heart of a champion. I'm so glad he got his time with the Warriors, and it really seemed like he found a family there.
Shaun ,Paul George, Kd are all so inspirational 💯
The fact that Golden State brought him back is a testament to his career, Continue thanks to Shaun & the GS warriors.

Love Shaun Livingston! I didn’t realize midrange was THAT SICK though!!!!!

What agreat story. I doens´t know this before. So thanks for upload this clip. Please more from such stuff !!
Solid video about a solid professional.
A GREAT Player & Really Good Guy. One of the secret weapons on the Warriors. He had BIG game ♥
Forgot how much I miss this guy.
It’s his mental toughness, resiliency & high IQ!!! He knows his physical strength & mastered his mid range shooting skills!!!❤
The True Mid-Range Maestro✌❤
What a champion. Amazing.
Solid video on an excellent career role player. Subbed!
Peoria Illinois legend
Finally someone talks about Livingston.
He was the absolute perfect fit for the Warriors. One of the best win-win scenarios in NBA history.
The mechanics of his Midrange shot is just beautiful.
That leg break still hurt my soul to this day, glad he fought through it 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Better documentary than the self proclaimed GOAT
He was so genuine and was a great role player! Def a key to GSW run! Miss him
Great video! Keep it up!
I’m so glad I’m not the only person who noticed how elite Shaun’s middy was 😂 cause I swear I never actually seen him miss a middy
THE TRUE GOD OF MIDRANGE! WHENEVER YOU NEED A MID-RANGE, SHAUN DELIVERS IT.
I remember when he was in hs and his games would come on t.v and use to tape these guys on vhs. Chicago has hoops was crazy
I believe in Shaun Livingston man. When he enters the court to sub the starters I already knew he was gonna hold things down and maintain the gap that the starters made. Couldn't ask for a better second unit member.
I remember thinking his career was over after that freak injury... But he proved EVERYONE wrong! Loved his game
He's fadeaway was compared to Michael Jordan back in the day, im not a fan of the warriors, but i have a huge respect for this dawg after seeing this.
Very good video, i liked Shaun's game style. I only saw him up close at the championship celebration in Sunnyvale. He looked like one of my home boys but way taller.
He is my favourite Warrior.
He was COOOOLD man. When I saw him get the ball and go in the paint, I mentally added two points.
Shaun Livingston is a gr8 one
~ mentally strong
with a heart to match
The GOAT 🐐
Master of the mid-range.
Tbh, it's one of the signature shots that is unguardable.
Sad kids will never understand how good he was before the injury.

Guys like Livingston are why fans get so pissed at Ben Simmons.
Sean Livingstone’s sudden pop culture resurgence in NBA fandom in 2024 similar to his NBA career resurgence with Warriors.
Dude was a bucket❤
This guy is a genius
Damn he was so accurate from the midrange, it really did feel like he never missed a shot 😂
ofc he was once in the warriors
6:30 - correction. The team that made the WORLD obsessed with 3-pointers!
In a few more years everyone will believe that mid range stat is real
We need more livingstons. Mid range shots are underrated
Because he never missed. All of those videos of him missing are AI. You have been fooled. I watched all of his professional games and never once saw him miss a mid range.
Aside from KD, Derozan, Kawhi. He is one of the most effective in Mid Range game. I really like him as a player.
