LOS ANGELES — Shaun Livingston has called it quits as a professional NBA player.

The former Golden State Warrior, announced his retirement on social media Friday, ending a 15-year career that saw both highs and lows.

After 15 years in the NBA, I\’m excited, sad, fortunate and grateful all in one breath. Hard to put into a caption all of the emotions it takes to try and accomplish your dreams. I wasn\’t supposed to be here,” he said in his official Instagram account.

Anybody that has beat the odds understands the mental and emotional strain it takes to inspire yourself on an uphill war, let alone inspire others,” he added.

The lanky but dependable guard said that his infamous “injury” gave him a chance to find and prove to himself and the world that he wouldn’t be defined by my circumstances.

“With my time in the League what I will be most proud of is the fact that my character, values and faith were tested, and I persevered,” he continued.

On the other hand, Warriors GM Bob Myers said in a statement that Livingston’s story is one of the most inspirational in the history of professional sports.

“What he accomplished after suffering so many trials and tribulations early in his career is a true testament to who he is as a person, which has always been characterized by tremendous class, grace and professionalism,” he said.

The Warriors exec also said that Livingston “represents everything that you’d want in a professional athlete and, most importantly, in a human being.”

“We appreciate what he did for our team and organization over the last five years, becoming a three-time NBA champion and a key figure on one of the best teams in NBA history. We wish him well as he begins the next phase in his life,” Myers added.

Jimmy Butler had 28 points for the Heat while Bam Adebayo added 22 on a losing effort.

Kyrie Irving courts LeBron James to join Mavs

The stories have been LeBron wanting Kyrie back, but this time it’s Irving who reached out for James to come to Dallas and play for the Mavericks next season.

The report quickly went viral as a potential Irving-James-Doncic big three is now brewing.

However, trading for LeBron James means a lot of players and future round picks for the Mavericks.

It can be recalled that James was trying to land Irving in the middle of the regular season, but the Lakers failed to do so which put Irving from Brooklyn to Dallas to team up with Luka Doncic.

They fell short of a playoff spot and now it seems Irving seriously wants another trophy with him luring James for an epic reunion.

Whether this fails due to the cap restriction, Irving could still possibly join James in the Lakers as LA looks to revamp its squad despite reaching the conference finals after a slow start of the season.
