What is it about Shaun Livingston that makes us wonder whether he has supernatural powers? You know, like the power to rise from the dead and the power to perform miracles? Last December, I wrote a Fan Post about Shaun Livingston after he "rose from the dead" to defeat LeBron James and the Cavs on Christmas Day. I called it, "Shaun Livingston: The Revenant."

Honestly, it seems like a miracle to me that Shaun was able to go from this:
