Is Shaun Livingston's injury the worst you've seen in the nba? It was so bad that he hasn't watched tv since the incident for fear of traumatizing himself. The clips showed his legs atrophied so much it looked like a skeleton.

The only thing that I ever seen to compare was Sam Bowie's injury. Having been on the operating table twice myself, if I had a choice "I THINK" I would take Sam's injury because tearing your knees up SUCKS!
Shaun never had big thighs to begin with. It stands to reason that his leg atrophied to near skeleton size because it was near skeleton size BEFORE the injury.
Shaun has a long way to go and this setback may guarantee that he will never make it back. He could have greatly benefitted by going to Duke or Illinois because his body is just not ready to play 82 games against guys in the NBA. Actually his body may have even been better suited to go to a smaller school in which he could be even more dominant and less prone to injury. Shaun is really a small guy. It's sad because he has the mind of a Magic Johnson or Robert Horry in terms of basketball I.Q.
Shaun has a compact frame in a mid-size and large profession. Many NBA player's that are Shaun's height are nearly as strong as linebackers. Just think about it. Earl Boykins CAN bench 300 pounds! I wonder what he can squat cause that is what we are really talking about here.
I doubt Shaun ever had a good squat max and probably never concentrated on that in high school. It is a LONG WAY from the McDonald's All Star Game to the NBA. Please believe...

There's no reason his legs should have atrophied because of a dislocated knee unless he went to bed and never got up And I couldn't find any video proof on YouTube. How about that link?

Shaun Livingston and TJ Ford's. I wish Shaun can comeback like TJ. Grant and Penny's had been dangerous too, they have got not ever been the identical after the ones accidents. Grant's virtually killed him.
