OG Anunoby is asked about the President attending Game 3 at MSG: “He’ll just be there watching the game. We’re going to go as usual, play our game. Try to win the game.”
If it’s not Anne Hathaway he don’t care
Or Suni Lee
Still the funniest shit that he locked in when she was there and it’s a full on meme
The things he did against the Suns. I’ve never seen him play like that before or since
Call me viral cuz I would lock the fuck in like landlocked Laos for Suni too
War Damn Eagle!
For Suni I would turn into Game 6 Klay
Oh without doubt. She’s top 5 of the finest women alive
Or Martha Stewart apparently
same
If he watches the game, he watches the game.
OG has seen Devil Wears Prada 2 twelve times
Cant really blame him here lol
Or Martha Stewart
He’s not taking that bait.
He doesn’t want to piss off mitchell Robinson
You know damn well the PR departments from both teams have been working overtime making sure no player says anything newsworthy to this question
NY Giants says let me show you how it’s NOT done
NFL fans on average are a lot more Trump-friendly than NBA fans it seems.
They’d shoot themselves in the foot leg
No one is. They’re just serial killer levels of locked in
Josh Hart has bodies in his closet but I can’t prove it yet
I saw KAT carrying around an 8ft rolled up carpet yesterday.
Wemby-sized.
RIP Wemby, put in a bag by KAT
He’s got Mazulla energy for sure
It’s no big deal. Just the guy taking the vote away from black people. Owner invited him to the game, to see his prize horses.
No one is.
Except for Mitchell Robinson
I’m willing to bet that is exactly how he feels. OG generally says whatever pops into his mind.
You might be new to OG. This is how he is for every interview question throughout his career
Both teams are not taking the bait. Rightfully so.
OG is bar none the last person that would ever take this bait lol. Silent demon
This sub is the only place taking the bait lol
This guy dribbles
It’s got to feel weird for the home team when the Jumbotron cuts to Trump and the whole place suddenly starts booing “you”.
I think there is a roughly 0.1% chance they show him on the jumbotron. They will probably show him on TV, but not on the jumbotron so that there isn’t an instant chorus of boos and “Fuck Trump” chants.
I think James Dolan is that out of touch enough he’ll ask the production staff to show him on the jumbotron
God, I hope so. If they do, they are truly moronic.
I mean….at ~8k for the cheap seats unfortunately the demographic that can afford that might be genuine fans of the guy. I’m a little nervous it’s not going to be the boo fest we hope it is
Theyll pipe in cheers
Sounds like Dolan wants to be buddies with Trump. 0% chance he risks him being humiliated in his own building
I’ll take a prop bet with you at any odds they show him on the jumbotron
Too much risk he’ll be sleeping to cut to him on jumbotron
They will show him during the national anthem
Nah like a 99% chance he’s on the jumbotron.
It’s Dolan
during the anthem they usually show the pres
They will probably have an AI video of his ugly ass face appear on the jumbotron with people screaming.
He’s a Spurs fan anyways… It’s what kept him out of Vietnam 🤣
Damn. I was like really? Then I read the rest. 😂
That would require that he be awake.
They’re certainly not going to cut to him to surprise him, and they won’t cut to him if he’s asleep.
If they show him, you can be guaranteed that it would be at preplanned points and highly choreographed.
There’s no way he’s courtside, that’s too big of a security risk
He’s gonna be in the owners box. Doubt the players fans will even see him really, too much of a security risk
You underestimate the stupidity and ego
Trump is a dumbass but is a 0% chance he’s sitting courtside. Let’s be real here.
“So am I starting or do you want me to sixth man?”
and they’d absolutely boo him if he had to walk in front of everyone to get to his seat. no way he does that
he met the yankees before the game, could easily see him meeting some knicks
It brings up an interesting dilemma. At his age one player diving for a loose ball could put him in the hospital or even the ground, so would Secret Service jump in and tackle a player if it looked like they were heading his way?
And if they did, how would that count for the game?
(In KAT’s voice) Shai Gilgous-Alexander, to the free throw line
Believe or not, 5 second penalty for Pierre Gasly
And more importantly, can we bet on it?
now, that’s a good question.
That’s why he won’t be on the court. 0 shot. If there’s enough risk that they can’t allow watch parties outside, they’re going to give an entire section of people access that could rush him? He’ll be in a box or they should fire everyone in secret service lol.
This whole thing is ridiculous… Seriously Fuck Dolan for letting him come at all. Just watch on tv dude.
He doesn’t give a shit about the game, the whole thing is he’s a narcissist that wants to make everything about himself
I don’t think he’ll be sitting close enough to the action for this to even be a concern but if it does most likely the secret service agent just steps in between the player and Trump. Unless a player intentional and obviously charges at Trump I doubt they’d attack a player
I mean we’d definitely get called for a foul.
He’ll be sitting wherever Dolan is.
Dolan sits front row right next to the basket of the Knicks bench
I’m sure he won’t be there tomorrow.
Absolutely. It’s not the 90s and 2000s for Trump anymore. He’s older, he’s less popular, and he’s the president
MSG also can’t easily open up 7+ courtside or 2nd row seat tickets for Trump’s friends/family/security
You literally cannot build a big enough perimeter to allow Trump to walk the streets of Manhattan. He is that unpopular in NYC.
If there’s anyone who would be most likely to demand a dozen courtside seats and get them it’s the US President
He’d also leak on the court when he shits himself and falls asleep, can’t have that
I’m going to be totally honest. I was surprised to even see Taylor swift courtside. When I heard she was going to a Cavs game, I thought they’d have a box. They’re very different situations but her fans love her as much as trump haters hate Trump
Yeah but there just wasn’t that many 16 year old girls at that Cavs game.
That’s actually a great point and I feel dumb for not realizing that
He’s also an olfactory risk. Stinks to high heaven, people are saying
You mean too much of a risk for someone to throw the ball at his face and smudge orange
Correct. He will be in a box. He has fucked over too many people, its not safe for him to walk among his own constituents. How fucking dystopic is that?
A good way to make him more mad is show footage and pics of Obama sitting way closer (didn’t Obama sit courtside a few times?) than he could ever sit.
Obama’s been courtside.

He is the least respected president, I don’t think the players cares.
Mitchell Robinson loves him
I mean there’s 15 guys on the team, one of them was bound to be a Trump guy
And it had to be Mitch :(
No offence to Mitch, but it would obviously be him
Mitch is as openly redneck as they come, I don’t think he’d take offense to you saying that lol
What’s up with Mitch?
Plenty of NBA players supported him, rich people love Trump
also dumb people
Analytics don’t lie
As a Canadian its kind of fked up that there’s “bound to be one of them”
But we also have maple MAGAs of our own in Alberta who want to separate from the country and join USA lol.
Pretty sure every team has a trump guy on roster or coaching
No he doesnt. Mitch even said he was trolling for fun sharing that funny tiktok video
Hasn’t he had other pro Trump and Republican social media activity? He had a trump flag on his truck?
He said “I’m not a Trump supporter I’m just trolling also my pinky ain’t broken”. Not saying that’s more proof but he clearly is careful about what he says especially since he has had a lot of issues with social media
The last 6 words were: “and my pinky is not broken” meaning he is joking about not being a trump supporter.
Idk I’m back and forth on this cuz his pinky isn’t broken, it’s a bone in his hand connected to his pinky lmao. But maybe he’s not being that pedantic
He posted yesterday that he was trolling, fwiw
Yeah he is fucking lying lmao and I can’t believe you would even consider believing him. The man posts constantly on Facebook, complains about rap music and talks about how country is so much better, drives/owns multiple egregiously large and ugly trucks, posts AI slop videos on every social media, etc. The man is a boomer in the body of a late 20s basketball star, he absolutely rides for trump
Well he ain’t a star but the rest is accurate
Even though that’s all true, I’m going about my day ignoring it and pretending he’s not a Magat. So there!
he’s such a troll that i honestly don’t know what to believe lol
‘loves’ seems strong here….
I think its more like he’s just too ignorant to understand why to dislike him.
if you have a quote to change my mind lmk
Trump support levels are inversely correlated to free throw percentage.
Have you heard these guys talk before?
They don’t care cuz they are focused on winning
My boy is british, why should he care? Journalistic integrity in the toilet.
He’s lived in the US since the age of 4. Went to high school in Missouri and college at IU. He was just born in London
You can play overseas and care or have an opinion about things that have massive cultural implications there. I’m sure most of us wish it weren’t but this is by far the biggest off-court story surrounding this game. He very likely has an opinion, but he’s smart/focused/polished enough not to engage here.
My thought exactly. They’re probably asking Wemby too 🤦🏻
Well, wemby would probably answer this question differently.
He’s a kid from the banlieus. He grew up among peers who hate the type of people that tell you to eat cake.
His countrymen have invented a very clever device for those kind of nasty people a few centuries ago…
The baguette?
WYR die by snu snu or baguettes
And the French proceeded to colonize and oppress large swaths of Africa and the Americas a little while later…
So you don’t think wemby has spoken on things in this country?
They already did.
[deleted]
OG has been living in the US since 4, he absolutely have a reason to care wtf are you talking about, does he sound british in this interview to you?
That is one of the most OG answers of all time. My personal favorite was when he hit a game winner against the Celtics in the bubble and he was asked if he was worried taking that shot and he just said, “I don’t shoot to miss” as if they were asking him the dumbest question ever. The dude is just different.
Man of few words but when he speaks, you listen
Knicks fans, the boos better be so loud they can hear them in Newark.
Honestly who is going. With seat prices more than some people’s monthly salary
Lots of season ticket holders didn’t resell
Probably the best answer you can give in this scenario if you aren’t trying to make a statement.
Good he didn’t take the bait, he’s locked in.
OG probably deep inside is annoyed because the whole conversation has revolved around Trump , but he wanted to be civil and not give any soundbite
Why would the players care about piggie being in a suite?
Jose has Puerto Rican heritage. That fat orange fuck has actively tried to diminish their citizenship and even detained countless Puerto Ricans and other Latin people with his Gestapo 2.0 forces.
Oh yeah, and most players are black and his terror regime is taking away the rights of black voters through illicit legislation. Oh yeah, and some of them have kids, you know? Kids, like the ones he (allegedly) raped on Trump/epstein island.
The players have all the reason to be mad at that fat orange fuck.
I’m sure they’re not fans but it’s not going to impact their play on the court, and they’re definitely not dumb enough to play into the controversy while they’re on the verge of the championship.
Trump is just doing what he does in trying to make everything about him, but it’s not really working
there are plenty of Hispanics that vote for him. I’m a dominican, I know a few
Seeing these answers from the roster makes me very happy. They’re all focused on the championship and that’s it.
Of course he’s locked in it’s still 0-0
Knicks by 20+
They don’t give two shits
I love how hard Thunder fans are pulling for us.
I wouldn’t say I rooted for them to lose but I didn’t like the thunder
But the spurs victim act is surprisingly worse
Stephon Castle pulling a Kenny Atkinson isn’t helping matters either
James Dolan invited the only person the City of New York hates more than him, but now New York hates him more for it.
I haven’t thought about Dolan in years tbh
the press keeps trying to bait the players into saying some controversial soundbite about the president and they are not having it only talking about the game. we should do that too
Weird question to ask a British-born guy who spent a large part of his career in Canada. Good answer though.
yeah so weird asking the guy who immigrated to the states since he was 4 /s
👏🏼 OG keeping it professional
This is how it should be. No need to get into the politics or personal beliefs.
Its as simple as that
These finals are now all about Trump, how sad, very, very sad.
See, this is how you’re supposed to respond, Silver you twat. No one expected an excoriation, but sucking up to him was vile.
channeling his inner Magic Johnson
What a breaking headline ! why even post this
This is why athletes hate the media. They try to get the players in trouble
OG is literally the least likely guy to even care about it. And he’s British
What about scarves
I miss him.
Enough of the rage bait. Our knicks are locked in they don’t even care.
The right response to a bait question. Focus on what you have to do.
Translation: “We don’t care about the president.” lol
Safe to say if the Knicks collapse and lose this series we all know who to blame for going to a game 😂🤣
Trump has been going to NY Knicks games for decades I’m sure HC Brown has already talked to the team about not allowing it to become distraction
Good answer!
Not my President….cos I’m English innit?
“I only care about Anne Hathaway. See The Devil Wears Prada 2, The Odyssey and the overlooked Mother Mary this summer in theaters”
Love the Knicks but James Dolan and Trump are both pieces of shit
Knicks play in front of very,very famous people all the time
Yup, pretty sure other presidents have been there before right?
I think Obama has at least once, I know he went to the all star game too
Clinton also has gone to a lot of games over the years and is a known attendee
Rain Man with the perfect answer
I hate the media.
Media training 101
Curse of Trump upon you

SMH at whoever this reporter is
translation, we give zero fs about dt
He hates Trump lmao. Much better than that fucking moron on his team
Why the person asking the question sound 11 years old??
I really wish Obama would show up courtside and you could see the difference in fan greetings. Plus Trump would blow a gasket.
Block out Trump the way they did the ref’s bullshit last game. He’s an irrelevant afterthought to the Knicks playing and what they mean to the great City of NY.
Unless Trump is playing for the Spurs why should he care?
We need more slosed Fat Joe & less trump
Dump just wants to insert himself to divert attention away from this magical moment happening for NYC. He knows NYC hates his diaper wearing, orange, pedo ass. No one wants him here but he’s so starved for attention he’s gonna come anyway.
I see why now, they say Knicks fans are the most hardcore fans in the NBA. 😏
OG such an OG lmao
Good response OG. Focus on the game and finish the job
Hilarious how much Trump is hated. They definitely messed with the election
Why are they asking non americans their thoughts on a dude who is not their leader lol
Gee I wonder if the reporters are trying to bait these guys?
Just focus on the game.
Knicks players are all vets and savvy not to be baited by the president visiting stuff lol
They have a job to do
Such a pos question to ask
I’m skipping this game. I don’t want to watch them glaze a child rapist for 3 hours, cutting to him every break and talking about how honored they are to have a pedophile there.
This is where that Keegan-Michael Key anger translator would come in.
“Fuck that punk ass bitch!”
