He really was a key part of this warriors franchise success boy midrange game was elite!
Yes !!! Man was a threat, that midrange was WET.
He wasnt
@@jimbojimbo6873he gave em production
I agree!
@@jimbojimbo6873 Provide midrange scoring and defense.
After Iguodala, was the best defender off the bench.
In 2014 I was at a nets game with press access and basically, all these dudes were not interested in talking to the press. I flew from Europe, paid money and spent time. Shaun took ALL the time, answered all my questions. Couldn’t have been more chill. Love this guy.
Appreciate the underdogs , sometimes they’re the most humble
Shaun is not an underdog, multiple rings and he was a major key to their success. Arguably top ten mid range game of all time
Livingston was one of my favorite players. Walking mid range bucket and made the right play. Loved him on the warriors
I appreciate these type of guest....great people that we don't normally get to hear from
Nothing but facts man
Ikr the vibes on here is chill too
Shaun was the true meaning of a team player, who embraced his role for the Warriors, which was basically playing good defense, and hitting those mid-range jumpers when need be. They basically helped revive his NBA career, until he eventually retired, too. Couldn't have happened to a better guy, whose career should have been over, after he snapped his leg in half.
Crazy to think Kd was on a team with Prime Klay & Prime Steph at THE SAME TIME! 🤯
Think about if Draymond doesn't go Draymond and KD stays with the Warriors... but the sports media couldn't let that happen...and you're right they were n their primes!
donkey green ruined it
And prime Draymond and also Cousins who was about 80% his all-star level.
Yeah that nba email was different I bet
@@thebasketballhistorian3291nah cousin wasn’t playing the same.
Those three years were special. KD doesn’t get hurt and they’re easily three-peating, which is what they deserved. They played such beautiful basketball together. Glad to have watched it.
The odds 2 of the Warriors top 3 scorers get injured in the Finals.
Just before that, they were cruising through the west playoffs.
@@thebasketballhistorian3291They weren’t cruising past the Rockets. They had to play great and have the refs give them some help.
We’ll try to get that 3peat for y’all out here in PHX🦾
@@VideoRandomChannel are you kidding? suns got no depth and dbook chokes in big moments
@@maximus3294 lol yeah right fool
Can’t wait until this team gets a 30 for 30
Steven Jackson looks like he’s about to board Apollo 13
😂
Underrated comment
One of the best mid range shooters I’ve seen.
such an important player coming of the bench, we love you Shaun!!!
Good to hear Livingston talk about these stars-particularly KD. KD has such a bad rep somehow, but works and loves hoopin. The details about their footwork and changes of balance, etc. Additionally I like the way Shaun was talking about "go do you" as a team, we are a team, but go do you. Sounded like Kerr empowerment for sure.
Kd has a bad rep bcuz the two biggest stars fan bases dislike him. Curry fans don’t like him because kd joined was better than Steph and won two FMVP then left.
Bron fans don’t like him because he ruined any chance bron had of winning another ring with cavs.
Also okc fans dislike him for leaving to GSW
@@camerondavies8442 facts they just hatin fr💯
@@camerondavies8442 I’m one of the only warriors fans that don’t hate KD
@@camerondavies8442this makes sense why he has so many hate
@@camerondavies8442 This is the main reason he's as hated as he is. So many fanbases hate him. KD even tried to give away the finals MVP to Steph in 2018.
I honestly can see why the Thunder fans are disgruntled, but Cavs/Lebron fans just have to hold the L.
The Warriors fanbase were shitting on the Thunder fanbase after the Thunder lost the WCF that year. For KD to then join GSW is like getting a deep cut and pouring alcohol in it for OKC's fanbase. It's not at all about him losing to the Warriors and then joining them like most people say. That's just for OKC's fans.
2014-2020 what a damn dynasty this warriors team was. KD added a special three because he truly added that last piece to a potential perfect roster imo.
A dynasty does end until steph is gone. The warriors won in 2022 and ur acting like that’s not part of they dynasty
@@danthemann7 of course it is but that was the prominent high point of the dynasty was Finals series they had against Bron. I’m glad they got another one past KD but back then was masterclass basketball being played in this modern era.
2014-2022. Correction
Shaun being 6’7 / 6’8 being able to be the backup(best backup pg in league at the time) Steph and guard the 1-3 comfortable was a HUGE luxury and key piece
I for one thought the KD GSW years was some of the most beautiful basketball I've ever seen. I enjoyed watching every game. Back in the 90s during those Bulls years I was like "why watch they gonna win anyways" and missed out on some of alot of great games. I didn't want to be like that again with these GSW years. Also I'm from the DC area so I'm kind of bias when it comes to KD lol.
In 2015 Finals, I was screaming at my TV because the Cavs COULD NOT STOP Livingston!!!
Off the bench he won them that finals.
Been my favorite player since he was drafted.. ppl use to laugh at me when they asked who my favorite player is.. one of the best midrange pg to do it.. big props hope you coach one day
At this point Stak can't even pretend to be paying attention to his guests 🤦🏾♂️
It’s called cocaine
I seen people talk so much about kD over the years but I know deep down they know bro fr all time
Great option for backup guard. Glad to see him rebound hid career
2016 Warriors will be my favorite ever. Even over the 96 Bulls.
Happy to hear a former teammate say it, since people never believe it when KD says it himself. He went to GS because he liked how they play and wanted to be part of that. People also forget that he went there after they just lost. He still went anyway.
I’m sure everyone remembers he went there after he lost, that was the main reason people were bashing him..
@@mauricedavis1740 but is that really fair? It’s 1,000 Years Later and I still ponder this. Mainly because yes GS beat them but they also Lost. While having the Best Record of All Time. So, yes He joined the team that beat Him but as He stated the Warriors also lost and then flew out to see Him later. I honestly think he would’ve gotten beat down regardless; because He was supposed to stay.
Iggy said it too. Nobody on the Warriors have bad things to say about KD after his tenure there, not even Draymond. But people are irrational when they hate somebody, so they don't care about the good things the players say about KD. I really hated that Draymond gave the haters and the media that opening to break the team apart.
@@introvertedblackgirl I think we don't get to decide what a player is supposed to do. We watch, root for them, and enjoy the game; we don't decide what players do with their careers. KD built OKC, literally. The team did not exist when his career started. He was the flagship and solidified that franchise. He did all he could for them. He wasn't "supposed" to stay.
@@mauricedavis1740 "He" didn't lose; his "team" lost. This isn't tennis or boxing. Basketball isn't one-on-one. OKC couldn't get their act together. There were times in that GS series where they would play three non-shooters at the same time. It is a very faulty team.
I was at the game Livingston hurt his knee. I was literally sitting at the opposite end of the stadium in the second deck and could hear his knee pop. It seemed like his career was over. I’m glad he eventually made it back but it’s sad he never was able to reach his potential. He looked like he was a couple years from becoming an All-Star before he got hurt.
I’ll never forget a) watching my cavs get torched and b) Shaun Livingston never missing a 15 footer in the finals…
Everybody forgets because kyrie and lebron went nuclear after 3-1
His baseline turn around jumpshot is wet.
So inspirational
Wild Matt Barnes played with both Livingston and Jackson but in different eras of the Warriors.
Shaun was a dawg n never ducked no smoke - his perseverance was G
Dude is dope
That is why I don't understand why media try to downplay or make kd seem like he is a scrub. It is always open season from media and fans that are mad that kd went to gs in the first place. People act like he didn't play for okc for 8 or 9 yrs before that
Bro the greatest mid range shooter of all time 😂😂😂
“They touch different” 😤
Well said shaun…. Ppl don’t understand what they are seeing… it’s actually incomprehensible at times
Mid-range assassin. To this day I’ve never seen Shaun Livingston miss from the mid range
Yup no joke. I believe he actually went a whole series going damn near perfect from the middy
Take a shot every time Livingston says ya know
did this dude livingston ever attempt a 3 with the warriors? it's like he refused to 😂 2015-2019 livingston midrange game was lethal asf
Boy in 2k16 when the started got subbed out and I had Livingston in, whenever I was playing got cooked. Liv was that dude for the warriors and I’ll always miss him on 2k. Him n manu on that game for me
Steph works hard to keep his jumper trained… but it’s way more then ordinary drilling. Dude is just gifted. He’s got a genius level IQ for 5:04 a jumper. So no matter what the remaining 99.9% do, they just won’t be able to shoot like him.
If I’m Victor and Chet I’m studying Dirk and Durant every single day of my career
I don’t think the white boy holmgren is gonna be any good
@@jimbobfisher8904neither is wemby. He'll be aight .
Scoot Henderson is the one that'll be the best from his draft class.
I seriously don't remember SDot missing a midrange shot, it's automatic when he gets to his spot. 😄
KD let his ego and pride get in the way of becoming the greatest basketball team of all time. They arguably are but they could've have stamped it forever if he just stayed with them. I still love KD but man GSW could've been bigger than what they are right now. Thats big
Untill KD which made GS a super team. Crazy how many organic smart moves GS made to become into prominence. Drafting the right people. Adding the right players for chemistry. Absolutely wild.
The midrange god himself
Frfr KD drills are insane every kid should look into them
I wish Shaun was on the coaching staff
I don’t Believe any Team but “The 92’ Dream Team” would and could defeat that GSW Team or An East Coast All-Star Team…Shaun Livingston was an Amazing & True Professional NBA Journeyman Slash Champion….SelfLESS, Efficient & The Template how the New Generation of Players should Model themselves after…Shuan Livingston
Agree, if KD didn’t get hurt in the 2019 Playoffs we all know they would of 3peated.
02 Shaq kobe
They had nobody that could guard mike and Scottie
Any team with a dominant center is giving them trouble. Their style of play also suffers more in the more physical era. Especially for steph and klay.
@@brendanbloom3366 What IF OKC kept James Harden + Stephen Adams, RUSS, I’Blocka & K35D…I Believe If they kept that Homegrown Squad….That was The Next Dynasty’Up….Huge What’IF…!!! Congrats to Denver & Watch’Out For The Lakers if they Run that Team’Back & Solve that 5’Spot, Sacramento is on They’Way’Up, Dame 💵 To The Miami Heat, Phoenix Is Right’There…My Pistons Are coming’Back We Got Monty Williams & Cade Is Back….OKC’ will Chet Back with MGA….Orlando has a Nice Youthful Core I Love Bol Bol and I wish Detroit would’ve kept Bol Bol…Who Else….The Knicks Coming Back
That’s one thing I like about kd he like to play the right way but sometimes I wish he would get more selfish
KD doesn't have the kill anyone attitude tho, he won't kill a team mate for not wanting the win more than his life, Kobe and MJ as scorers are on a whole other world
I think you might live in a mythodical world. I’ve seen kd numerous times yell at teammates when they aren’t locked in.
Stop living in the past...Let's these players live....
@@brendanbloom3366 cap
@@superxnatrl1941 Watch more games my guy
KD really a 🐐 but I love seeing ppl hate on him at this point and what he did for the warriors team on both ends was incredible to watch. They gave up all there depth for one man and he dominated being the best player on the greatest team ever 💯
The Bulls with MJ was the greatest team lol KD is a snake lol
Those Warriors had *a lot of depth* though.
On cheap contracts, they signed a bunch of solid role players who wanted a ring: David West, JaVale, Zaza, McCaw, Matt Barnes, Nick Young, even freakin Demarcus Cousins in year 3.
This Joker ring worth more than those two GSW rings though
Yea he swept a inconsistent Lakers team, a suns team without their floor general and less than 20 games with the new roster. Oh and we can't forget the juggernaut timberwolves oh wow. Not to mention winning a finals against an 8th seed with an injured leader and a top scorer that was out. Their ring is more fluky than the bucks ring and the raptors ring combined
@@dkmrap1 No I agree with you. And it’s still worth more than those two GSW rings
But that raptors ring was real, they beat a loaded bucks and sixers team that season
Now u tripping 😂😂😂😂 congrats to Denver frfr but yall can't shine golden state shoes
Yup
A point guard drafted that high a time it was impossible ! He was supposed to be z taller version of jason kidd !! The journey though
Total respect
what shoes is Matt Barnes wearing?
Livingston was a great fit when he was with golden state
Stak is baked
Stak never said a word 😂
This guy doesn’t get the credit he deserves for what he contributed to that team’s success. Mid range half of fame no doubt.
Remember watching him in HS downstate Illinois.
MJ ain’t never played no team like that in the finals
Steph the GOAT.
shit was interesting to listen to but my eyes followed that bug flying everytime it went on screen.
KD should’ve stayed with GS smfh
Idc what anybody say KD a CHUMP. Like SAS said “WEAKEST MOVE IN NBA history” nuff said! Don’t @me
Stephen Jack didn't say one word this whole clip 🤣
Adding KD to them was cheat code, - had only 1 competitive series when they were healthy...when u that great ppl wanna see u lead and be foundation of the team - he was able to just hop in & hoop #respectfully
them boys were good. what was draymond workout and jumpshot game??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Shoot with a backpack with 25 lb weight in it
@@vict1435lol the military backpack full of supplies like they run with in the military
Sounds like Phil Handy
That's why it's wasn't fair.
lmaoo stacks hatin cause livinston and matt both played w steph and kd on golden state and won a chip😂😂
Anybody could’ve won with those guys they just need a heartbeat and a warm body besides the 4 all stars they had
Stacks has a chip
Kd always forever
S/O the gentlemen and their sneakers lol
Midrange Money!
Is it just me or it seems like Jack is just uninterested in the conversation 😂
Kevin Durant single-handedly destroyed basketball by making this move to the warriors
u like their touch?
Kd needs a team that can shoot tbh
Mike Sherm a baller
KD isn't the same, he was a beast with the Warriors. That fkn Aquiles brought him down
He is the same, don’t blame the Achilles he just doesn’t have an juggernaut beside him.
He is the same, don’t blame the Achilles he just doesn’t have an juggernaut beside him.
Sean's barber needs some schoolin'
if they didnt get hurt, dubs 3 peat and KD returns. they most likely wouldve been the first team to 4pt or beyond.
If LeBron didnt come back from the 3-1 deficit, Shawn L would’ve been know for a big reason the Warriors won. He lead them in Game 1 and 2.
71-9, championship denied let's stack the deck we need KD! What's up with that?
My bro Shaun Livingston got a loooong ass head though
MJ, Kobe, and Shaun's turnarounds were fuckin automatic.
Shaun still looks 25
I kno jack got less to talk about, having not played for the warriors during that time like Livingston and Matt did, but damn why homie just sitting there SO awkwardly ? Lmfao like damn Jack, say something or nod or have a reaction I mean fuck Lmfao
The shrooms started kicking in
0:44 wait, so you're telling me these mfs practice after practice?
Stephen Jackson looks like there’s some hateration in his game.. 🤔
Where would a kid get a chance to watch Kevin Durant practice?
This is exactly why KD shouldn’t have gone to GW the nba was predictable for atleast 2-3years 😕😕😕😕
If kd don’t join the warriors, bron has 6 rings smh. Kd ruined it
All the pieces didn’t fit. That was STEPH
Going off of NBA2k and the random shot making means those 3pointers from Curry are going in at random. Else he would be 8 times NBA champion. 🤣
I hated to see Shaun Livingston come off the bench, he didn't miss at all !
KD should not have left...Dubs would have won at least 2 more rings by now...
he talks like pat bev
Steph and Kd were cowards for joining up
just kd that was stephs team alredy
@@jimmy_6513lol yall curry fans . Curry shld hve insisted they run it back without KD lol
I hated that that happened...stupidest thing ever.
They almost lost to Houston in the west playoffs.
Maaan KD fucked up going to GS. He lost respect from damn near everyone smh
I still rock with him
Except his teammates
No he didn't.
Nah, Daniel the Beta
I agree
Stak is a hater
Then Draymond went and f**ked it all up 🤦🏾♂️
