Shamet’s Championship Journey

Landry Shamet, Wichita State’s star shooter, just won his first NBA title with the New York Knicks, who crushed the Spurs in Game 5 to clinch the series 4-1. Shamet scored five points in the clincher and averaged nearly seven per game throughout the Finals. He joins Dave Stallworth and Nate Bowman as the third former Shocker to bring home an NBA championship for New York — a legacy spanning nearly half a century. What made this run even more incredible? The Knicks came back from double-digit deficits in every one of their four Finals wins — pure grit under pressure. And it wasn’t just Shamet — Kevin McCullar Jr., another college standout, also suited up for the Knicks, playing 21 games. This victory proves how elite talent rises from college programs and how far players can go when they reach the NBA’s biggest stage.
