Jalen Brunson Gets Roasted by OG Anunoby Over Iconic Knicks Moment
Jalen Brunson gets roasted by OG Anunoby while revisiting one unforgettable moment from the Knicks' title-winning run.
Down 29 points at halftime of Game 4, the Knicks found themselves in a desperate situation. Through an incredible comeback, they managed to tie the game with 1.2 seconds left thanks to Jalen Brunson's long three-pointer, which only rimmed out. OG Anunoby then tipped the shot into history. The Knicks went on to win Game 5 and finally claim their first championship in 53 years.
The iconic moment seemed to become a joke months later during a Saturday Night Live appearance. Anunoby playfully reminded Brunson about the missed shot, to which Brunson sighed and admitted the tip-in had been "awesome." For a fanbase that waited half a century, that play was more than just a game-winner; it was the moment that truly made the championship feel real.
Brunson's 36-point performance was crucial for New York's chances that night, but it was the tip-in that left fans replaying it for decades. Anunoby had a memorable game himself, finishing with a career-high 33 points in Game 4. New York is set to continue their championship run, with the same players returning to train camp and defend their title on October 20 against Philadelphia, marking the occasion with a championship ring ceremony where Anunoby, Josh Hart, and Karl-Anthony Towns will all be present.
