It’s a sight commonly seen after practice and after shootaround and occasionally when the Warriors are warming up for a game.
Shaun Livingston, the 6-foot-7 backup to Steph Curry, is firing and draining 3-pointers as if it’s how he makes his salary. It’s not. Livingston more typically maneuvers to the block to post up shorter defenders or to the elbow to twist into his trusty mid-range jumper.
The Warriors, having seen Livingston swish so many treys in non-game situations, are quietly urging the veteran point guard to set up and launch from deep.
“I was on Shaun all of last year, in a joking manner, because he’d make corner 3s all the time in practice,” coach Steve Kerr said before taking an indefinite leave of absence last week.
