Thanks to our own "Sports Guy" (Ben Hansen) at Goazcats, we knew this last year...

One bright spot: I watched Shaun Livingston for a grand total of 10 minutes in person before awarding him "Most important rookie point guard to come into the league since J-Kidd" status. I'm not saying he's a lock for the Hall of Fame or anything. But if you enjoy cerebral throwbacks who care more about making a nice pass over anything else -- I'm talking those Magic-style "How did he see that guy?" looks -- then start rooting for this guy. Trust me.

I love the hoops package, and watching the Clips game the other day, I would say that Livingston made the right decision. If he stepped one foot on the Duke campus, he would have been a terrible pro.

I went to the Clippers' game against Seattle and Livingston got a lot of PT. He forces his passes alot but you can tell he belongs. As soon as he learns some of the tricks of the trade, he should be a star.
