The time when Serge Ibaka hosted OG Anunoby and OG insisted that “he put Serge on scarves” a phrase he repetead multiple times. Serge was inflamed by the “accusation”. The Raptors immediately went on a 15-0 run after that.
OG is a lowkey guy but he’s a massive troll every time we get a peek at his personality. Like his video congratulating Brunson on becoming captain of the Knicks is a recording of just his forehead
The classic “have a good weekend” video
Wishing Danny Green a happy bday too lol
“Congrats on it being your birthday. Not trying to brag, but my birthday’s coming up too, but it’s whatever. Today’s your birthday. You’re either 31 or 32, one of them. That’s so cool”.

This is an epic Raptors era clip. Best part is it’s not scripted.
It’s OG being OG and Serge legit getting mad at him for claiming he put him on fashion in Serge’s fashion web show.
Or when he called Damian Lillard welcoming him to Toronto, making it sounded like he was just traded.
The NBA should be promoting guys like this with idiosyncratic, actual personalities.
Serge had a legendary stint to help showcase people while he was in Toronto. He had this fashion show which is clipped here. But he also had the “How Hungry Are You” show where he famously made pizza with beef penis as a topping to Kawhi.
Serge was golden for providing awesome content.
Do not cite the Deep Magic to me, Witch! I was there when it was written.
I hate that I genuinely like OG he seems cool lol
it’s one of my favorite kinds of people, the dry humor without ever feeling the need to explain that they are doing it
As a Raptors fan, it is truly a wierd feeling seeing OG get all this love in NY.
Same feeling as Siakam last year.
OG was my favourite Raptor for the longest time and it was a shame he couldn’t contribute to the championship run. Miss him on the team so much but I’m very glad he’s been vital to the Knicks and getting the recognition he deserves.
I own one Knicks jersey. #8.
Shouts to Sprewell, JR, Gallinari & Beasley
If you’re a Raptors fan this should be expected same way if Scottie or CMB left the team at this point, suddenly the league as a whole recognizes them as an actually good player
Delete this comment or if Scottie leaves it’s on you
If he wants first team recognition he might have to
Ya tru… No one really watches us unless we are deep in the playoffs.
Even the first round against the Cavs will I think help elevate his position next year. Shame they couldn’t win that final game
Yea he took it to another level guarding 1 through 5 who ever was hot.
I’m downvoting because why the fuck would you even say that
They should honestly just move the team to America
Team ain’t going anywhere. You might have to annex us first.
Nah we should just annex Toronto
Players only get the recognition they deserve when they leave.
Case in point; scaramouche and scotties snub this year
Caruso was seen as a meme until he left the Lakers and started being clutch for the bulls,
now he’s putting up some curry performance in the playoffs for Thunder lmao
We loved Alex “Bald Eagle” Caruso. That’s why everyone was immediately devastated when Jeanie/Pelinka let him walk and were calling for their heads.
Yeah, Caruso has been such an invaluable asset to the Thunder. Wasn’t he the only one last year on the team with a ring as a player? I remember someone being interviewed, and they were talking about his locker room presence being great for the team in the Finals.
Yes that’s correct
As a Knicks fan in Toronto and present during the 2019 run (and the 2012 Linsanity game), it feels just right.
LIN FOR THE WINNNNNNNN
That Linsanity game
The way the arena is rocking in the road was so wild
There’s Knicks fans in Toronto?
There’s Knicks fans everywhere baby
Don’t be surprised when you hear, Let’s Go Knicks! at Scotiabank.
I’m 100# rooting for the Knicks to actually see OG get a ring he was involved in lol I always feel bad that he missed our whole playoff run
When I got back into basketball, it was the year the Raptors won. OG, Holiday, Siakam, and Fred VanVleet (Leonard obviously, and I’m probably missing others) have all been on my radar since. It’s incredible what they’ve helped achieve for their other teams. Would have been interesting to see how the Rockets would have been with Fred healthy this year.
Dude deserves it
Kinda like when a celebrity on an unwatched tv show noone cares about suddenly is in a big movie.
That’s very odd to me because we were actively pursuing him and a large amount of our fan base were high on trading for either of Bridges or OG, preferably OG. That is to say at least Knicks fans have recognized his ability as a game changer for upwards of a year prior to trading for him
I mean OG only got voted all defense in his last year as a Raptor (2022-23) and that too on the second team when he has been a lockdown defender for some time. Even the year he won, they had to give it to him because he led the league in steals.
So OG being underrated as a Raptor is definitely a thing.
Scarves
What about the scarves
Relentless MF like his defense
I DONT DRESS OG I DO ART
I think this is edited. I don’t think OG goes rapid fire like that in the original.
Nope this isn’t edited, it’s the original just a shorter clip. He really says it rapid fire like that which makes it all the funnier. Link to original: https://youtu.be/wiIAUeraFJo?si=
S-C-A-R-F-S
It’s scarfs man, not scarves!
Edit: down votes for spelling it how OG pronounces it lol.. go watch the vid people
You got down voted because without your edit it looks like you’re correcting someone with the wrong spelling
[removed]
He’s not even deadpan. He’s smiling. Which makes it more funny that Serge is still falling for it
That 2019 raptors team was stacked with so much defensive talent Kawhi, OG, Ibaka, Danny Green, Marc Gasol, Kyle Lowry, Pascal Siakam The nba is lucky kawhi left, otherwise that raptors team would still be contenders to this day(with a few minor changes ofc)
If kawhi didn’t leave you wouldn’t have a good okc team now.
Another reason to hate Kawhi
What if we would’ve ended up with Wemby tho
Wemby would be a wizard if not for the spurs, at least thank them for that
Wemby would’ve changed the wizards broke ass lives
Alien Wizard
Thanks, Kawhi :)
nah i disagree, sem presti is one of the greatest minds to ever lead an FO, he would’ve made sure they were ready to compete and fleeced another team by trading PG if needed.
I do think PG’s contract extension with us was basically “you’ll get the most paid and best place if you do this instead of leaving us this year”
Norm Powell and FVV too were solid
Eh FVV yes Norm no. And I love Norm but he’s average at best and normally below average to poor on D even if he had some signature plays like the steal on Paul George
Edit: not sure if people are misunderstanding, but I was saying Norm wasn’t a good defender. I realized that came off as me saying Norm wasn’t a good player which isn’t true but I wouldn’t say he fit the defensive talent of the other players being described here. I’m one of Norm’s biggest fans but can acknowledge he’s the odd man out in a group of good defenders
Norm was great in his role. A microwave scorer coming off the bench. Was truly weird to hear Portland try to claim he was a defensive stopper or a 3 and D player when that’s not his game.
Yeah he was good in his role. I was saying he’s not someone who’s a good defender like the person I responded brought up in response to the other good defenders on the 2019 squad and I’m not sure why I was being downvoted for stating something factual
Haha I think Norm’s just a fan favourite and since leaving Toronto he’s been cast as a 3 and D player which you rightly point out that he’s not.
He’s great three point shooter who has a great drive game but his defence was so so.
OG was out for the whole 2019 playoff run too (unfortunate, but makes that run even more impressive in hindsight)
Kind of like how Caron Butler and his 20ppg missed the Mavs 2011 run. Crazy to think they could have brought everyone back and repeated
Fred VanVleet used to get some All Defensive votes back then too before Nick Nurse Thib’d his body
The pandemic probably fucked us more than Kawhi leaving because we were solid up until it happened, comfortably second in the east.
I shudder to think about an alternate timeline where that Raptors dynasty wins more championships in Florida than in Toronto.
Yup, we had a better regular season record the year after Kawhi left than we did with him
Greatest defense team of all time?
God man every time I see an OG video it makes him more likable. He reminds me of a good friend of mine in the way his humor is so lowkey and effortless but really a funny dude. I fuck with the Knicks so heavy
he’s just like my bf in that he’s the chillest troll, i get ragebaited every day and can never do it back
Also just being OG makes him cool
I’ve been in the scarf game 10 years now with the camera angle change gets me everytime
Someone added music in post and it’s building actual tension
the original video has the same music: https://youtu.be/wiIAUeraFJo?t=253
I have this loser ass cousin who likes to think he’s a fashion designer/model in-between selling his drugs on the corner, stealing from immigrants, and jail stints. He is a total piece of crap and I recognize that.
This is 100% a convo he would have. He would be dead ass serious too.
Somehow this is hilarious. I mean, they are millionaries Basketball players and their banter is hilarious.
i dont dress. i make art
Imma use that one if I get busted,
Your honor I don’t make crystal meth I make art
Science bitch
Look at these crystals
Doesn’t sound so bad to me
This might be the funniest raptors moment of all time lol
You betta stop OG!
Later, Serge had to let them know.

It IS art
This always reminded me of making a cape out of a big knit blanket as a kid. Looks cozy as hell but also heavy as hell lol.
Yo these videos were ahead of their time
Some post the picture of them walking out with insane scarfs and then the raptors team scarf photo
We love Ogugua.
You’re not saying it right
*artisanal scarf noises*
Well if you’re not saying it right how can we say it right?
the full video is worth watching! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiIAUeraFJo
laughed for a minute near the end when the task is for OG to pick out an outfit
😆 Pure gold
There’s another video where the Raptors players make fun of Ibaka for how he says “I do art”. Then Ibaka actually crashes out and leaves the interview, and they are cracking up:
https://youtu.be/K7BK8i0Q2y4?si=kjXrlpAJI0M7WHJK&t=297
That 2020 team was special
OG is hilarious. Spent half the interview looking and talking like Kenny from South Park
Dude came into the league at 31 years old and still played top tier against the best in the world
Simply amazing
I wish he would do the roommates podcast
He hasn’t been on it?
You better stop OG
I been in the scarf game
This team was so special
What the fuck does that even mean?
But what about scarves?
Iconic moment. I also miss Serge
you betta stop OG
This fucking ART!
I’m crying 😭 D1 rage baiting serge
Lmao this is hilarious
This Raptors team man. Won the chip and won best team vibes.
As soon as you start defending yourself against a troll, the troll already won. Beautiful work of OG just keeps repeating scarf-scarf-scarf.
Lmao my friend group still yells “You better stop OG”
The scarves got ‘em 😂😂
Damm, this is some high level Real Housewives shit.
I have never heard this expression in my life. What does it mean?
It means “got them into”. If you put someone on an artist it means you introduced them and made them a fan.
I been in this (scarf) game for years, it made me an animal
“i’ve been in the scarf game… 10 years now” is so funny to me
Drip is serious business tho. You can’t claim my drip is yours. Game is sold, not told.
Pretty sure it’s called a 15-win streak, not a 15-0 run
lmaooo this is so funny why is this my first time seeing this
This was funny but a lot of it is post production sound replayed for a funnier conversation. Basically sound effects.
