And how good could he have been at LSU?
I was too young to really remember that era and all this Livingston talk has me curious
Talk to me, old folks

At 6'4 200, dude was a beast! Could handle the rock, could shoot the lights out. So sad that he blew his knee out in a pick up game. Could have been one of the best all time. 2 Time National Player of the Year in HS, that should sum it up

I saw him play once in HS. THey played East Jefferson, which was Neil Reid's team(the guy Bobby Knight ended up choking at Indiana). Reid was a stud himself. I don't even remember who won, I think Newman did. I just remember Livingston had a dunk fest. He was unstoppable. Still the best player Ive ever seen his HS.

Wasn't him and Kidd co-winners in the national player award in HS?

pretty good comparison. not quite the speed of jason. both didn't have a outside shot. both could pass/no look with the best of them.

Randy Livingston was the top HS player in the nation that year, and perhaps one of the best of his generation. Damn knee injuries

He shared National Player of the Year awards with Jason Kidd and Rasheed Wallace, two guys who went on to have very good professional careers. Absent his injury, he would've likely had just as productive a career.

Who was the other cat at LSU with him? These are some of my first LSU hoops memories...he could score, something Henderson?
Seems like they could have been a great duo

Ronnie Henderson.
Also, prior to Lebron James, I believe Livingston was the only person to ever win a National Player of the Year as a junior and senior.

Ronnie Henderson
One of the best scorers LSU has ever had

Ronnie Henderson had a pretty good LSU career, but playing with a healthy RL could have made his career a lot better.

Randy was unreal. If he had not had the injureis he would have had a great NBA career. When he and Ronnie Henderson signed with LSU the talking heads were saying that the two of them could potentialy be the best backcourt tandom in college basketball. If I remember correctly Randy was the last pick in the draft by the Houston Rockets. He was in and out of the leauge for some time.

He was National Player of the Year... Twice. Probably the best high school player ever.

Corliss Williamson was the Gatorade National Player of the Year in 91 and 92 also.

I was about a year younger than Livingston. When we were 15 we played in an all-star baseball tournament in NOLA and the players would stay with host families. A few guys on our team stayed with Peyton Manning. We were like, "That's kind of cool, staying with Archie Manning and all." But then the players showed up to one of our games and said, "Guess who came over to shoot basketball with us today, Randy Livingston." Then we were all like, "That's awesome! Ya'll got to play basketball with Randy Livingston." Yeah, Randy was kind of a big deal.
