Kentucky men’s basketball freshman Chris Livingston was blessed with an NBA-ready frame by the time he was 16 years old. Dubbed the “best Akron-born player since LeBron James”, there’s always been plenty of pressure surrounding the humble yet talkative 6-foot-7 wing. He left his hometown in Ohio for Oak Hill Academy (VA) to play out his final year of high school, and is once again in unfamiliar territory as he adjusts to his new life in Lexington.
But realistically, Livingston isn’t going to be far away from home at all.
His twin brother, Cordell Livingston, is set to begin his freshman season of college basketball in the Bluegrass State this fall, albeit at a different level of competition.
