OG Anunoby soaking in historic Knicks moment as NBA title chance awaits

SAN ANTONIO — By the time he checked his phone Wednesday night, OG Anunoby had too many text messages to count. His game-winning tip-in with 1.2 seconds left created a massive celebration inside Madison Square Garden and went viral immediately.Among those who reached out were several former teammates with the Raptors.

Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal Named June 11 “OG Anunoby Appreciation Day.”“It’s really cool,” Anunoby said on Friday inside Frost Bank Arena, as the Knicks prepared for Saturday night’s Game 5.“Just everyone has been telling me how much it means, and obviously I can see how much it means.

It’s just really cool to be a part of it, and I’m very grateful.”The shot, which capped an NBA Finals-record comeback for the Knicks from 29 points down in the third quarter, is already being talked about as one of the great moments in New York sports history.It’s up there with the David Tyree’s helmet catch in Super Bowl XLII, Don Larsen’s perfect game in the World Series, Rangers captain Mark Messier making good on his prediction in the 1994 Eastern Conference finals with a hat trick, and the Mets’ 1986 World Series comeback in Game 6, among others. “I tried to explain it to him, but you know OG barely gives you any reaction,” Karl-Anthony Towns said jokingly.

“So I don’t know if he’s understanding it or not.Like you said, it’s a great moment.

It’s one of the best sports moments in New York history.But we’ve got to solidify it with one more win.” Another unbelievable Knicks win and another cover worth framing to hold onto this moment.
