Love

Just wanted to say Much Love to everybody out there that has written on my website!! Whether your just skimming the web and happen to come across my website, sending out shout outs for your favorite hometown team, or just a Shaun Livingston fan since the fro was out! Im at the gym everyday working, and believe me, your thoughts prayers and posts are definitely motivation to push me to new limits! For those of you who've had surgery you can certainly understand the magnitude of coming back from an operation. Its like starting a mile back from a race....but you know you must catch up, because you know nothing else but shooting for the front of the pack! Newayz, just stoppin in to say thank you again, and Im confident that it will all pay off.....

Love!

Hiatus!

Whats up family, friends and fans! An update on my progress-Im working out in chicago and have began participating in contact drills! Im too hype just to play again and to challenge somebody other than myself, EXCITING! Thank all of you again for best wishes and prayers!! I still have a ways to go to get to where I want to be with my athletic ability, but youth is my friend for now!! As far as my contract goes, I am now a free agent and will be working out for other NBA teams in the next 2 months. The clippers have shown interest in bringing me back, but I feel I must evaluate my situation and see what's best for my future, especially with Elton Brand moving onto Philly. These are exciting times for me and Im just anxious to be competing again, I tell people, and Im telling you, I FEEL BLESSED! And that I am.....I can not thank everybody that visits this website enough for keeping up with my progress...Best wishes to you all and take care

Until next time.....

Wow, Have I been gone for a long time or what! Its crazy for me to read this site once a week and see all of you guys showing love and support and I havent written back in months! Let me first apoligize. Thank you guys so much for keeping up with my rehab, which by the way, has been coming along well! I just came back from seeing my doctor on the 6th-8th. It was a good visit and allowed some of the questions I had about my knee to be answered. This has been such a long process and Im not sure how far along I would be without the support of you guys/clipper nation. Im soooooo excited to come back and play its rediculous, seriously, like a kid again. Bouncing basketballs everywhere from in my house to out in the street! We have 3 more games left and then I will take a week break to refresh mentally and physically and pick back up full steam ahead with the clippers training staff. Since I've been out-alot of my time has been dedicated to studying and breaking down game film of some of the best point guards/players in the NBA. I feel like I've learned more than I ever had this year by just watching and paying attention to details.....See Im getting excited talking about this! Ok, well I will definitely try harder to be more consistent with staying in touch and everybody who has been suppportive from Day 1 you are truely a blessing to and for me! Thank you again Sincerly!
Peace 14

Thanks for the Birthday Wishes

Wassup folks! I definitely wanted to get on and thank everybody for the birthday wishes! Its not all the time that people remember your birthdays, especially the older you get. People keep telling me that I'm still a baby but with 4 yrs in the league I feel old compared to that first year out of highschoool! But its all good. Alot of my friends came out to visit me from back home, so I had a blast! Im happy to say that progress is still coming with my recovery process. I've been in the pool working hard, running sprints etc and depending on my strength test I should start running on a treadmill anytime now....I feel its only a matter of time before Im runnin the break again! I could be participating in training camp with warmup excercises and continuing to lift to get stronger. I've never been out this long since I started playin ball but you guys along with family/friends have kept me patient and optimistic, which again, I have to thank you all for that. Until then, I will definitely keep you posted and keep hittn me up on the site, I gotta stay connected!

Ps. Jerry F. I didnt forget about you, just been on the grind with work, hope all is well with you man!

My Summer...Rehab, Camp and Charities

Wassup everybody! Let me first say that all of your prayers and advice has been working through me day in and day out! For my therapy, I am now running in the pool and have almost all of my range of motion back! I am very blessed to say the least. As far as my summer, it has been very busy and productive. I had my bball camp at the end of july for innercity kids back in my hometown of Peoria. It went very well and the kids were great! I couldnt play around with them as much this year b/c of limited activity with my knee but each chance I got I was out there messin with them. I've been doing alot of charity events for the LA community as well. I definitely think its important to give back, especially b/c I didnt come from money at all so I feel like I can relate in not all, but most cases! Im sure you all have heard about Elton Brand's injury, if you would, keep him in your prayers as well with everything is going through right now to try and get back on the court. He worked so hard this summer and now he will have to wait until midseason most like to get back out there. But life is good for me and I hope it is the same for everybody out there. Again, thank you for all your love and support and continue hittin me up on here or whereever you see me......until next time
peace
