Chris Livingston Twin Brother Cordell Livingston Is A Kentucky State Basketball Player

Chris Livingston’s twin brother Cordell Livingston plays basketball for the Kentucky Basketball team and they were inseparable growing up together in Akron, Ohio. 

The two attended Emmanuel Christian Academy from elementary school through high school and finished their basketball careers at Oak Hill Academy (VA) for their final year.

But while taking the same steps since they began playing competitive basketball at age five, their journeys were distinct.

Chris is 6-foot-6 and weighs 220 pounds, whereas Cordell lacks his twin brother’s physical attributes. Even though he was only 6 feet tall and weighed 175 pounds, he had the skills to physically dominate the game like Chris did in high school but lacked the build. Instead, at Buchtel and Oak Hill, he was the supporting actor and his brother was the star.

Blue-chip recruiting ranking sent Chris to Kentucky, where he is regarded as a freshman with immediate impact and very legitimate NBA aspirations. Cordell won’t be far away, though, as he always has been, as his skill and diligence earned him a position on the Division II Kentucky State basketball team.

Chris Livingston was raised by his mother Julia Livingston and has a very well-knit family. He also has a good relationship with those in his social circle.

He has always had a tight relationship with his grandparents as well as his siblings Cordell and Cydnee, who are from Akron, Ohio, where he was born and raised.

His grandma introduced him to basketball and encouraged him to participate in sports; she was a great help to me. Not only being a grandfather, but being involved in training, making friends inside the AAU, and assisting him and his brother in progressing since they were little children entering middle school and heading into high school.

He changed schools to Western Reserve Academy in Hudson, Ohio, for his second year. Livingston finished his season with 50 points, 20 rebounds, 8 steals, and 5 blocks in a 76-65 victory over Bristol High School when his family was present to cheer him on.

In Belém, Brazil, for the 2019 FIBA Under-16 Americas Championship, Livingston represented the United States. His family is there to support him as he leads his team to the gold medal, scoring 23 points, pulling down six rebounds, and dishing out two assists against Canada in the championship game.

Prior to the 2021–22 season, both Chris and Cordell moved to Oak Hill, and having their brother there has helped Cordell perform better.

When facing difficulties in life, the brothers have always been able to rely on one another. Even though they won’t be living in the same home longer, they should have no trouble remaining close.

The two will be away from one another for the longest time ever this summer. On July 1, Cordell doesn’t show up on the Kentucky State campus.

This fall, Cordell Livingston, his identical twin, will begin his first season of collegiate basketball in the Bluegrass State, though with a different kind of opposition. Approximately 30 minutes away from the UK campus in Frankfort, Kentucky State, a Division II school, accepted Cordell’s commitment to play basketball.

Livingston emphasized the significance of being close to Cordell. Growing up with someone who you played basketball with and who you attended school with every day is something that you definitely have to get used to. Chris stated in an interview that although it takes time, I believe we’ll be okay.
