Shaun Livingston Was the Master of the Midrange

Few players in the history of the game possessed a midrange jumper as smooth as Shaun Livingston's.

[@chinaskibukowski7747]

The fact that he came back from that utterly destroyed knee is nothing short of miraculous. He tore his ACL, PCL, and meniscus, dislocated his left knee cap and broke his left leg. Literally everyone that saw it was like "Yup, his career is 100% over." But he came back and became an NBA champion. Shaun epitomizes the heart of a champion.

HE is absolutely a master of midrange.I have a feeling that every time he pulls up the ball would just goes in.

Thats how good he was. I will put him in that clutch category cuz when he would go up in the clutch time, it was always wet if his number was called

The best i would say. Majority of these he's hitting while we're down. It's obviously his specialty and it works when we need it most. Thats kinda clutch. So i would put him up there because idk who else has a comparable middie other than derozan or dirk nowitzki

Definitely most underrated player ever smooth midrange

[@_tadoe6154]

One of the best midrange killers the league has ever seen. It’s crazy how many were and ones ‼️

[@understandunderstand1271]

S Dot! His IQ off the ball was really special too most people only watch the ball during games and don’t rewatch games but I’ve watched every warriors playoff game over the run 3 times or more and I pause and rewind and replay every play so I can see what happened off the ball on offense and defense and it’s really where most of the game is happening when it comes to winning team basketball like warriors play. I never watch games live either I record and then stay off social media and phone and start like an hour or 2 later and then I don’t have to watch any commercials so I can do the pause rewind replay thing. I never did this before but this warriors team in 2014 and after just really got my love for basketball burning again I played in college at high level so I know the game but the warriors with splash bros and Draymond really brought back my love for the details and things 99% don’t see live. My point of all this is that over the years with Livingston I noticed he had an instinct, a “feel” as Kerr calls it, something you can’t teach it’s something in his mind that he can recognize how to make winning plays that won’t get a stat and won’t get noticed by 99% of people because they are happening off the ball. Livingston and iggy were the best at this they both were in tune with splash bros and Draymond and even Durant and the timing and pace and angles they were just connected to those guys and they got them so many rhythm shots over the years it’s beautiful to go back and watch. And Livingston had huge moments and games scoring and passing too he really stepped up in huge playoff and finals moments and without those moments they might not have won a finals or 2. Same with iggy he gets a little more credit. I hope he comes back or coaches/joins warriors like Livingston they are both such a big part of what they have built their minds for the game and love for winning basketball always stood out.

His overhead shooting makes it more deadly when his firing his shot Almost impossible to block

[@greyklopstock7155]

We've had a fair amount of taller point guards come into the league over the last few years. Fox, Lonzo, LaMelo, Giddey, SGA (if you count him, although he's more of a shooting guard imo), and now Amen Thompson. I'm surprised at how relatively few look at leverage their height like Livingston did with his midrange game. Fox has started doing it, and he's become damn impressive at using his athleticism to get to spots. But I see some guys come in at 6'5"+ and they're playing like they're 6'1"

[@ry_an.]

Wouldn’t consider Fox a tall point guard at 6’3

[@greyklopstock7155]

​@@ry_an.He's pretty long at 6'3", so he's effectively taller than he is listed. And he's DEFINITELY developed this midrange game. That 7 game series against us was all I needed to see to know Fox is DANGEROUS from the midrange.
