Shaun Livingston and Andre Iguodala are some of my all-time favorite players. And for them to be on my hometown team in the Warriors and win this city multiple championships is just a dream come true for me! Major appreciation, especially for what you guys did off the court 🙏🏽
Much appreciated. Thanks for tappin into the interview too 🙌🏾🙌🏾
My FAVOURITE PLAY OF ALL TIME... Game 2, NBA Finals 2019... "Curry throws it... Livingston has it... back to Iguodala... Iguodala puts it up... It's GOOD!.... Andre Iguodala drills it with 5.9 remaining"...
The no-look pass, three-pointer, the celebration and the commentary. Too much swag. Good to see Shaun Livingston again.
I wish Andre and Shaun could go back and see how Warriors fans never though of them as bench players. We always knew they were the “other” lineup. The much needed lineup. Their names were just as “broadway” as Steph, Klay and Dray. So important to the success. I hope they always feel how appreciated there were and are.
❤️❤️❤️
@@pointforwardthat’s facts tho. I couldn’t BELIEVE we had andre AND Shaun off the bench. I still can’t haha wild shit! Dynasty shit
All of you guys are some of my favorite players. Especially Shaun, his Dad and I were neighbors on 5th Street and went to Central together.🤩🤣
🙌🏾🙌🏾
Shit as an outsider, I have some great memories in Peoria. Starting at the middle school state meet in East Peoria. I love that city, miss it too
SDOT!!! Midrange GAWD. Mannn those years with Andre & Shaun off the bench seriously made the DUBS so much fun to watch! Too smart too savvy too good! Thanks so much for this interview! What a gem.
Glad you liked it
Dubnation will always be greatful for you OG's man😭😭😭. Yall where the vets we needed for steph, klay n dray. All love for you iggy n shaun 💙💛. I was 13 when yall joined us, and my hs circle was juiced when u and then shaun came
Much love 🙌🏾🙌🏾
S Dot was THAT guy. His midrange turnaround jumper is art, man. True professional and absolutely integral to the bench mobs during the dynasty. What a legend man
It really seemed like he would freeze midair at the peak of his jump, all while being perfectly balance.
Damn this is pure 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Shaun Livingston game was official before and after injuries 💯💯💯💯💯
S.dot that guy for sure 🔥🔥🙌🏾🙌🏾
It was interesting, being from Indiana, hearing about all the Illinois legends. I ended up spending a week at Illinois. I met Jerrance. One of the funniest guys ever. They had a life size cutout of Shaun in the basketball office. They were HEATED when he said he was going to Duke!
🤣🤣🤣
Another very good episode!Shaun is a great example. If any other person,was in his shoes when he had that very serious injury,he could easily just gave up,complain about that etc. but he didn't. He work hard,patiently he came back and he was a important piece in those Warriors championships. Also seems a very good and humble person.
Dre & ET are such a perfect ying and Yang combo. Thanks again for this interview with one of my favorite players. Glad to see you doing so well Shaun. BTW, ET would so rock at being a girl dad!
My young fella, Pete Jordan from Evansville Bosse hit legendary status when he dunked on Howard Nathan back in the day. Nathan was the Chief cook back then. Wonder if y'all heard about it. It was filthy
That convo at the end about the pros and cons of the testing was interesting. Dunno if anyone should have a definite opinion as fans. But of course we will haha
Shaun with the Scott Ian beard
1:06:30 ET is a menace 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
S DOT DUB NATION LEGEND
🙌🏾🙌🏾
Dame over Klay? Even on an off year this year Klay has more made 3s for the season than dame. Splash brothers on chase.
35:53 shit different
JuJu is not out of South Carolina. 😂
In my opinion basketball is e hardest sport than soccer because u have to have gud handles,gud shooting skills & be able to def.Mos players dat aren't in the league because they don't got proper handles.
P Towns finest 🫡
Awful Coaching channel is humiliating every basketball channel out there right now. He is evolving what sports talk will be. Adapt now, this kind of content is now seen as garbage compared to him.
Do they even have Mackers anymore? Shit, us as small town white boys were even traveling all over the area playing Mackers and local 3 on 3s. From Peoria to Racine Wisconsin. Back in the early to mid 2000s Illinois ball was different. Even if everyone knew you or your team, you had to show you could play in those bigger city tournaments. I still have the VHS of Livingston and Peoria playing Julian Wright and Homewood-Flossmoor. Livingston was the truth before those injuries. Outside of Iverson and my coaches idk if anyone had the impact that Livingston did, not just on me but all the youth in Illinois. Better times. I won’t even get into the high school parties at THAT hotel in Peoria when we would go watch the state tourney at Bradley.
That or Hoop Fest
