<\/figure>\n Christmas Day 2022 will at all times be remembered for a way we practically misplaced Landry Shamet to a mindless posterization.<\/p>\n In time beyond regulation of the NBA\u2019s last Christmas Day slate between the Denver Nuggets and Phoenix Suns, Shamet made a basketball resolution, versus a enterprise one, that ended along with his physique steamrolled six ft from the rim and his soul being lifted to the rafters. However, earlier than Shamet arrived at his fateful encounter, the Suns led 113-111 with 15 seconds remaining and wanted a cease.<\/p>\n To that time, Nikola Joki\u0107 was unstoppable scoring the rock.

That\u2019s primarily what occurred to Shamet who wasn\u2019t even presupposed to be there in crunchtime. Unfortunately, he was within the flawed place on the flawed time after Devin Booker eliminated himself 4 minutes into the motion. To add insult to harm, Gordon collected his personal free throw on the different finish to seal the victory for Denver and sully Shamet\u2019s career-high 31 factors.<\/p>\n G\/O Media could get a fee<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
