11 of 12 from three! A contract-year breakout! The Knicks' magical sixth man

4-0, the Knicks effortlessly overwhelmed the Cavaliers, returning to the Finals after 27 years.

Of course, without any surprise, Brunson was unanimously selected as the ECF MVP, averaging 25.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 7.8 assists, and 1 steal per game with a 48.7% shooting percentage.

They won Games 4, 5, and 6 of the first round, swept the second round 4-0, and swept the Eastern Conference Finals 4-0.

The Knicks have now won 11 straight playoff games this year, with a net point differential of +262. Their Finals opponent will be either the defending champion Thunder or the super young Spurs.

Throughout the Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks unveiled an unstoppable secret weapon—the incredible sixth man, Shamet. In the four games against the Cavaliers, he transformed into an epic sharpshooter,averaging 9.8 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 19.7 minutes per game, with a 75% field goal percentage and an astonishing 91.7% three-point percentage (11 of 12).

Yes, that guy missed only one three-pointer in the entire Eastern Conference Finals, almost never missing.

Shamet was born on March 13, 1997. He is a 6'5" combo guard with a 6'7" wingspan, selected with the 26th pick in the first round of the 2018 draft. This season is his contract year, with a salary of $3.61 million, and his value is expected to skyrocket this summer.
