The buzzer sounded, and the New York Knicks were on the brink of their first NBA championship since 1973. OG Anunoby’s game-tying tip-in in Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs will forever be etched in the memories of Knicks fans. But what happened next, in the moment of pure ecstasy, would make headlines for a reason far removed from the game itself. The 6-foot-7 small forward made a bold claim that has left teammates, coaches, and fans alike giggling in amusement: his Knicks teammates’ fashion sense is straight out of a bad time capsule.
For those who haven’t followed, the New York Knicks’ unlikely championship run is the culmination of years of rebuilding and a dash of good fortune. From the early days of the 2023-24 season, when they were considered dark horses, to the final showdown with the Spurs, the team has been a force to be reckoned with. Their improbable title win marked a significant milestone for the franchise, which had been stuck in a rut for decades. But now, in the world of fashion, the Knicks’ reputation is under scrutiny.
The human side of the story reveals a more vulnerable OG Anunoby, who is known for his unassuming and down-to-earth personality. As it turns out, his sharp-witted remark was not meant to be malicious but rather a lighthearted jab at his teammates. When asked about it in an interview, Anunoby chuckled and said, ‘Hey, when you’re on a hot streak, you’ve got to take a shot at everything, even fashion.’
As the team readies for their next challenge, the focus will undoubtedly shift back to their on-court performance. The Knicks have a few weeks before they kick off their 2026-27 campaign, but one thing is certain: they will need to fine-tune their wardrobe to match their championship-level play.
The aftermath of Anunoby’s comment has sparked a flurry of reactions, with some of his teammates playfully defending their sartorial choices. The controversy may have been short-lived, but it has undoubtedly added a dash of humor to the Knicks’ offseason narrative.
