ICYMI: I spoke with a dozen of Landry Shamet's former teammates and coaches from Kansas City and Wichita State about his remarkable run to become an NBA champion.
Here's what those who knew him best had to say (FREE LINK):

"It's emotional just considering everything. Training camp deal 2 years in a row on the verge of being out of the league and injuries, ups and downs man. It's crazy.”
— Landry Shamet. ✊✊✊

Kiddo Watch: 6’3 2029 Solomon Spratley of Smithville is a talented young southpaw who can handle and create off the dribble. Nice sized guard who plays at his own pace. @MW_Showcase
The biggest lesson from Landry Shamet’s rise to NBA champion?
"Just don’t give up."
My story, after talking with more than a dozen former coaches and teammates, on the Kansas City native and former Shocker’s incredible journey to the NBA mountaintop.

Landry Shamet:
"It's emotional just considering everything: Training camp deal 2 years in a row on the verge being out of the league and injuries, ups and downs man. It's crazy. I'm just really, really grateful and proud of myself for not giving up"
Congrats to @landryshamet and the Knicks on winning the NBA Championship last night. Park Hill is proud to call you one of our own. Thank you for all that you have done for @ParkHillSchools@816Hoops & Kansas City in general. Enjoy the success, you have earned it.
Landry Shamet hasn't changed much from his Wichita State days.
Still chopping wood. Still carrying water.
His personal motto became the best way to explain how the Knicks erased a 29-point deficit last night.
