But being 33 in the league, 11 years after suffering one of the most gruesome injuries in basketball history is shocking.<\/p>\n<p>When Livingston dislocated his kneecap and tore just about everything that could be torn on February 26th of 2007, he wasn't just fearful of ending his career at the age of 21, he was fearful he was going to lose his leg.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, he got to keep his leg, continue his basketball career and after bouncing around with EIGHT TEAMS IN SIX YEARS, he found a home in Golden State. And with the Warriors, he played a career-high number of games in a season (78 twice) and won three NBA championships in four years. It's an amazing success story that's still being written.<\/p>\n<p>So happy birthday Shaun, congrats again on the return, the rings and I'm glad you didn't go to Duke.<\/p>\n<h3>THE NBA JOURNEY<\/h3>\n<div class=\"omc-video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%; height: 100%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/j9QnTPa5YLU\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen width=\"600\" height=\"420\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div class=\"omc-video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%; height: 100%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/r9J77gXFjfM\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen width=\"600\" height=\"420\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h3>CLIPPERS MIXTAPE<\/h3>\n<div class=\"omc-video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%; height: 100%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/T_QQXQh_6nI\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen width=\"600\" height=\"420\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h3>TOP 10 PLAYS<\/h3>\n<div class=\"omc-video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%; height: 100%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-EqzfHpt584\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen width=\"600\" height=\"420\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"558\" height=\"748\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-163168\" src=\"https:\/\/dsz7vodgjx60a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/BIL-SHAUN-LIV.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dsz7vodgjx60a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/BIL-SHAUN-LIV.jpg 558w, https:\/\/dsz7vodgjx60a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/BIL-SHAUN-LIV-224x300.jpg 224w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 558px) 100vw, 558px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>THE INJURY<br \/>\nWARNING: IT'S GRAPHIC<\/h3>\n<div class=\"omc-video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%; height: 100%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KCsJVz5tx1U\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen width=\"600\" height=\"420\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shaun Livingston turns 33 today and is still in the league.
