Shaun Livingston and Magic in the same sentence... Simmons, you've lost it. Just like Larry, Danny and Kevin.

Livingston has the best court vision I've seen since Magic. No one knows if he will ever come close to being as good as Magic, but he has the potential to be a similar player.

Coming into the game many actually compared him to great Magic Johnson. Will he be that good? No. But he has the chance to be an amazing player. And although he's my second fav player, that was not biased. Here are some predicted stats of him he will be getting near his prime(if not seriously injured : /). Not people know his D isn't half bad and he has an extremely high basketball IQ.

PPG:14.7
RPG:6.9
APG:9.1
SPG:1.8
BPG:1.2

Not bad numbers, he will be in the top three in assists before he is done.

I had to take a look at a thread that actually said "Bill Simmons" and "great read" in the same sentence.

I gave up on reading anything he writes a little while back.
