Who's the guy in the NBA who had that horrible knee injury yesterday?

Also, sportscenter didn't show the clip of it happening, does anyone have it?

2/28/2007 1:01:14 PM

youtube has it. search "shaun livingston"

2/28/2007 1:06:31 PM

shaun livingston...went straight to the NBA instead of going to Duke

2/28/2007 1:06:38 PM

shaun livingston

did the same thing to the other knee last year

2/28/2007 1:06:41 PM

he would still be the best PG on our team?


just messin, sucks for the dude. he may be done.

2/28/2007 1:11:19 PM

haha, that was a great 3 responses within 10 seconds

2/28/2007 1:11:20 PM

And he sucks, he missed the layup... and that was before he landed....

just kidding, looks like his career is done

2/28/2007 1:14:46 PM

i was listening to the game on the radio when it happened and they had a microphone at court level...man he was just screaming in pain...did not sound good...i dunno how bad it actually is though...later that night they literally 'popped it back into place'

2/28/2007 1:23:42 PM

2/28/2007 1:28:39 PM

i will never watch that clip again...but thanks for the embed

2/28/2007 1:30:18 PM

god, that guys been plagued with injuries

2/28/2007 1:31:52 PM

that's really not all that bad to watch

i think breaks are much worse to watch

at least you're supposed to bend at the knee. not that grotesquely, but still.

a leg snapping is much, much worse IMO

2/28/2007 1:31:54 PM

in all honesty it's pretty bad

2/28/2007 1:33:25 PM

yea, this doesnt really bother me, i will agree with bone breaks...i hate seein someone put their arm down to catch themselves and then seeing it break

2/28/2007 1:35:34 PM

in the 90's when that guy slid into 2nd base late and popped over the bag as a result and had his leg break and poke 6 inches out of place showing through his pants was more gross.

2/28/2007 1:45:48 PM

i remember cringing at mcgahee's knee in the 03' fiesta bowl (Miami vs Ohio State)

this one was bad for me because I literally heard him screaming in pain for 20 seconds on the radio right as it happened

2/28/2007 1:46:01 PM

didn't culpepper tear all 3 ligs too?

2/28/2007 1:47:00 PM

That is terrible...

I feel so badly for him....
I think that's SEASON OVER

2/28/2007 1:47:03 PM

be cool, stay in school

yeah, ACL, MCL, PCL. I was at that game....

2/28/2007 1:55:39 PM

could be 2 seasons over, if not career

2/28/2007 1:56:38 PM

Reason #1 why they should get a college degree.

Have fun working at McDonald's on a gimp leg.

2/28/2007 2:04:50 PM

yeah the NBA doesn't have any type of benefits

and he isn't already due millions

2/28/2007 2:08:13 PM

^^even if he had gone to Duke I'd imagine it wouldnt have been for more than a season or two...ie even if he had gone to college he probably wouldve gone pro before getting his degree...but I hear your point and think all players should go to college

2/28/2007 2:17:20 PM

That sucks for Livingston. That had a pretty good article about him in ESPN the Mag a few months back. He never lived up to his potential and with this injury, he probably never will. That was a sick video though

I'd trade a working leg for NBA lottery pick money, I mean he is a millionaire. And why can't he earn a degree now with all of his new found free time? Going straight to the nba was probably the best thing he ever did since his inability to play a full season was never showcased.

2/28/2007 2:35:15 PM

What if he's done that as a freshman at Duke? No NBA. K would have yanked his scholly. Would have flunked out b/c he couldn't have majored in history of ACC basketball with the rest of the team.

you sir, are retarded.

2/28/2007 2:57:55 PM

^^ That's a good point

2/28/2007 2:59:46 PM

^^You think a guy who ended his basketball career as a freshman with a knee injury would have kept his scholly for 4 years? Has that ever been done anywhere?

[Edited on February 28, 2007 at 3:02 PM. Reason : ^^]

2/28/2007 3:01:46 PM

Guys who suffer bad injuries as freshmen often get forced out of the program in one way or another and end up transferring to a school in a weaker conference.

2/28/2007 3:09:41 PM

Thanks for clarifying my point. No school would let a guy sit on his ass for 4 years with a career ending injury.

2/28/2007 3:12:14 PM

lol unless youre ilian evtimov and its nc state

Yeah, if anything this is a great reason why players should go straight to the pros the minute they get the chance.

You do realize he's banked $10 million in three seasons right? And that he's going to make $4.5 million next season alone???

Yeah I bet if he was a junior majoring in sociology at Duke right now he'd be on a much brighter career path


Why is it that when someone passes up the guaranteed money on Deal or No Deal he's considered a dumbass but if someone takes the guaranteed money on a professional contract he's considered a stupid n*gger?

2/28/2007 3:55:13 PM

if you people are disgusted by that, try watching the theisman clip

2/28/2007 4:08:31 PM

Its spelled "Heisman" n00b.

2/28/2007 4:13:26 PM

^^^^I hope thats a joke.

2/28/2007 4:20:21 PM

joe theisman, noob. much more painful looking injury to watch.

2/28/2007 4:23:12 PM

i hope i just missed TheOffice's sarcasm on that one

2/28/2007 4:42:17 PM

You did.

2/28/2007 5:38:08 PM

^^that same phrase could be uttered by someone who didnt understand some of the humor of the popular NBC sitcom

It's a shame you can't still get a degree, without playing college basketball, while in the NBA or after your playing carrer.

Oh wait...

2/28/2007 5:52:32 PM

wow, i saw it on the replay and it looked terrible, i hate it for him

that might be career ending

2/28/2007 6:34:23 PM

yeah we were watching when it happened, it was brutal

the trainers came out and put a towel over his knee straightaway so nobody could see it

2/28/2007 6:37:25 PM

that youtube clip is killing me

2/28/2007 6:43:11 PM

any joint injury = :cringe:

2/28/2007 6:44:37 PM

2/28/2007 6:54:06 PM

damn

It's a shame that he banked more cash in a year than you'll probably ever see in your life.

Why the fuck does an NBA player need a degree? It has zero value to him.

2/28/2007 7:34:57 PM

set em up ----->
