Rumors

Knicks players Deuce McBride, Mikal Bridges and OG Anunoby were at MetLife Stadium for the France-Senegal World Cup 2026 match just days after the Knicks won their first NBA championship in 53 years.

Business Decision with Mike Vorkunov: Skechers said Knicks finals star OG Anunoby has a signature shoe coming. "It’s too early to share specific details," Skechers president Michael Greenberg said in a statement, "but we do have a signature shoe in the works." OG filed a trademark request with the US Patent Office for a logo this year

It’s been a wild weekend if you live in NYC. The Knicks won the NBA Finals in five games, the Puerto Rican Day Parade took over the city, and the hangover from the celebrations around the 53-year championship drought being snapped for the Knickerbockers is far from over. The reason the Knicks were able to close out the series as quickly as they did was OG Anunoby, whose last-second tip-in to take the lead in Game 4 sent them to San Antonio up 3-1. His performance in the playoffs may have just been the tipping point for him to get his own signature sneaker with Skechers, as brand president Michael Greenberg has confirmed OG’s shoe is in the works. “Skechers Basketball has been on the court for three seasons with a roster of players in the league – including superstar OG Anunoby,” said Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers.

OG Anunoby was about the game-winning tip-in in Game 4: "Is anything going through your mind when you're up in the air like that, or is it all instinct?" OG Anunoby: "I mean, I was trying to dunk it..." *Everyone starts laughing*

Shortly before this whole thing started — before the Knicks snapped a 53-year title drought, before they won 13 straight playoff games, before OG Anunoby’s miraculous tip-in — owner James Dolan took a few minutes to address his team in the locker room.  He talked to the players about the opportunity ahead of them, the importance of sacrificing for the next 10 weeks. (He jokingly asked the players to avoid fornication during the postseason.) Dolan also told the players to work through any issues with direct conversations, rather than passive-aggressive comments to the media.

Mostly, he talked about how much he believed in this group of players, how confident he felt about their chances to snap the franchise’s championship drought, how important it was to put the team first over the next 10 weeks. Dolan’s pre-playoff speech seemed to land, per people familiar with the matter. “They were a little surprised, but the words hit,” one of the people said.  Roughly 10 weeks later, the players in that locker room spilled onto the Frost Bank Center court to celebrate a title that had eluded the franchise again and again over the last 50 years. “I have no words. It's everything I ever dreamed of,” Jalen Brunson said in an interview on the court after the game.

OG Anunoby does not drink. Correction: Anunoby did not drink. Then the New York Knicks won the NBA Finals. And for a few seconds, he drank. The locker room was already in hysteria, players drenched in champagne and beer as 50 Cent’s “In Da Club” blasted on the speakers. Mitchell Robinson and Jordan Clarkson were the only two players with anything short of a chaotic vibe. Robinson sat at his locker bobbing his head to the music, more likely than not thinking about the F150 he submitted to the Atlantic City Truck Meet, which he will attend Sunday. If he wins “best interior” once again (two of his other trucks have already won that award), then he will, as he so eloquently proclaimed, “Get f—– up!”

Donald Trump: Congratulations to Jim Dolan and the New York Knicks!!! What a year it has been but, even more so, what incredible playoff wins we have all witnessed, especially the last four - Maybe the greatest in the history of basketball. Also, tonight, a superstar was born. His name is Jalen Brunson, and there are others, including, Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby, and great Patriot, Mitchell Robinson! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Oh No He Didn't: OG Anunoby on the parade: "They're gonna be setting cars on fire it's gonna be crazy" SVP: "Well I hope not let's not do that." "Caught on fire? Nevermind. Please don't do that. Don't do that please no one do that" 😂

Tim Bontemps: There's a very real chance Jalen Brunson will win MVP of the series if let's say the Knicks win in five or six and he has an incredible game and OG Anunoby has you know 12 or 15 points and is okay. Like sure he could win, but as of right now, Tim listed off the stats before, OG has one of the most iconic shots in NBA history. If the Knicks win the series, he's playing out of his mind. He's guarding De’Aaron Fox at the other end all the time. Like, as of right now, he would be my pick pretty clearly to win. But as you said, Brian, series isn't over yet. We're going to have another large data point, another 48 minutes or more on Saturday. We could have a whole another game or two after that still.

Like the Mets in 1986, more work remains for the Knicks. They are one win away from their first title since 1973, thanks to Anunoby’s stunning putback. “The upside is that people remember it, and they want to talk about it 40 years ago as if it just happened yesterday,” Wilson, 70, said. “The down part about it is that people want to know what you were thinking, and you can’t explain it. “(Anunoby) was just playing basketball and did what he was always told to do: go to the ball. Just like what I was always taught to do, and that is, you run no matter what.”

New York Times

SNY Knicks: OG Anunoby says it's "really cool" to know that his tip-in will be immortalized in New York sports history: "Everyone's been telling me how much it means. I obviously see how much it means. It's just really cool to be a part of it and I'm very grateful."
