[SNY] OG Anunoby: “Everyone’s pretty excited. I’m excited, too”
This truly is OG feeling peak excitement tho
It was hilarious the post game clip with Kat experiencing pure joy, smiling, hugging, then cut to OG with a neutral face calmly shaking hands with someone.
After OG scored, KAT looked like a giant kid laying his head on OG shoulder when he hugged him.
I immediately noticed that Larry David was the only celebrity not in pure ecstasy. He just looked mildly content. Which I think is his max out lmao
Are you saying his enthusiasm seemed curbed?
Maybe for happiness, he was collapsing at the hart miss
real knicks fans are trained not to let themselves feel real happiness to save themselves from the eventual pain. bros got a lotta PTSD from the 90s
Pretty pretty gooooood (can’t believe I’m the first to comment that lol)
I think everyone else was trying to avoid the low hanging fruit but you just went right for it. You still quote Borat too?
Mannnn I’m just salty af youse are having all this fun. Don’t mind me.
Hahaha no I thankfully retired my Borat during the second Obama Administration
Ben Stiller also looked in total shock. I saw several people in actual disbelief
Naaaah he was thrilled lmao you can see him in celebrity reaction compilation on the front of r/nba
Do you have a clip of that I’ve been trying to find it
Well damn, I can’t find a clip of it anywhere. I have the game recorded tho so I can go back and find it later today.
he’s a fun guy
It’s just more questions you gotta ask him in order for him to tell you bout himself…
He don’t even know where he sitting at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0k54qJuLww
Heh hweeehhhh heh
He looks like he really can put the city on his shoulders
He wide
Thiccccc
Like that Tim Duncan Derrick Rose commerical
https://youtu.be/AnOQWc1ps5w?is=hOmBWtc-c4lPk9dl
Tim Duncan answering as Tim Duncan is hilarious lmao I might be high
To be fair, answering the phone to people that you know using your full name feels like such a power move
I know its coming yet I can’t stop laughing at him turning plant sideways
Trained under the fun guy, Kawhi.
Truly achieving the player comps on all levels.
OG just needs to plant more trees
OG “Captain Holt” Anunoby
TIL he’s …… English?!
He and Jaden McDaniels need to get together for 0.1x the excitement multiplier.
He is slowly becoming Kawhi in front of our eyes.
He learned from the Kawhi championship run in 2019
“OG Anunoby going crazy!”
Dude just became a NY legend by tipping a ball.
Somewhere even Kahwi smiled at this
Kawhi may have smiled at the bouncing 3 he had too.
Kawhi may have smiled

AI getting too believable these days
I can hear his laugh in this 😂
Love seeing this man smile.
have u seen a tree smiles
OG so aspirational
ha ha ha heh heh
OG learned from Khawi there’s still business that needs to be completed!
OUR NIGERIAN KING 🫡
Watching a Nigerian British immigrant hit the game winner was everything tonight
British too
We need this as well 😭
Am I wrong or does he have an american accent? What’s going on there?
He moved to the us aged 4
You can also hear his British accent here and there. It’s a fascinating accent he’s got
Yeah his dad taught at Oxford brooks, he’s got British roots
Makes sense, thank you!
It’s Prince. Please get it right
Anne Hathaway waiting at the crib.
And Suni Lee
And SVU
Stan van undy?
He’s not gonna have undies after that shot
“Whatever you can put together, okay, put it together”
- Talking about Anne and Suni
Please explain this one
Mariska Hargitay
That would be for Jalen Brunson
And SGA
And Detective Olivia Benson. Though I think she’s a captain now. Been a long time since I last watched.
Every New Yorker would be at the crib if they could
genuinely is there specific context to this
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/pUtYXbPhW5Q
whenever anne is courtside OG drops 30+ it’s basically a lock
I can’t remember the statline for his Suni Lee game but I remember it was ridiculous and on some crazy TS% too
“If your girlfriend says hey to me that’s our girlfriend now idc” - Ogugua Anunoby Jr.
do whatever tf you want king
Look at the beautiful and big smile
I’m naming my unborn son after him
i’m changing my daughter’s name to Ogugua.
Just make sure you pronounce it right
We just got done putting that demon yall summoned back in hell dont you dare mispronounce that shit again.
Merv don’t summon bagagwa!
Well deserved. The impact he has on both ends is elite. Definitely inserted his name into FMVP conversations
It seemed KAT was going to get it but refs and the league decided to silence that. OG has to be front runner dude doesn’t care who is near him Wemby or the others.
I don’t disagree but even with his minimal ability to impact with the fouls KAT was still a game high +17. We genuinely cannot win without him on the floor
Yup, everyone can see this and I why he got that reverse foul to swap the game when 2 flagrants were ignored on the previous game. Any of those incidents in a backyard pickup game start a fight
That reversal on the “hook” for his second had me genuinely shook for the first time watching basketball lol
Yup that was crazy usually it’s a jump ball middle of court
If we win, which we have not done yet, they’ll give it to Brunson. He’s got the counting stats and the name. I would give it to OG if the series ended now, but I don’t think he’d actually get it.
I genuinely think I’m in love with this man. I’ve never felt this emotion before as a man. He’s so hot.
Ya bro.. so listen..
He so tough bro
😭😭😭 ayoo
not that there’s anything wrong with that but bro, you got some realities to face in life.
there’s a gold medal Olympian and an A list actress in front of you on the waiting list, unfortunately
I’m excited too
Belongs on a t shirt
Everyone knew he was the best 3 and D player in the league for the past 5 years, crazy it took so long for him to get here.
It’s because he was in Toronto.
I miss this man so much. Remember when everyone said the Knicks gave him too much money?
half our own fanbase thought we did, but as a New Yorker who lived in Toronto for a few years I knew he was worth every fuckin penny
He’s so much more than a 3 and D guy. I love Kat but OG has been our 2nd best player since he got here.
yeah his dunk game is literally elite at this point
3 and d is selling him short tbh
Also a consistent playoff riser. He hit clutch 3s in the 2018 Cavs series (the one to tie the game before the Lebron buzzer beater), and obviously the 2020 bubble game winner. Shame he couldn’t play in 2019.
People like to throw alot of whataboutisms regarding the 2019 Finals. But rarely does it get brought up that the Raptors were missing OG for that entire playoff run. He was a consistent contributor during the regular season. Kawhi load managed for most of the season, so when OG wasn’t his direct back-up he was starting in his stead, and he was good enough to help the Raptors get 58 regular season wins, 2nd in the East.
It’s also why the 2020 Raptors didn’t significantly drop off after Kawhi left. We still had OG to take over his role and it was good enough to get us to Game 7 of the ECSF against Boston. And as a Raptors fan, I have my reservations about how differently that series goes if it wasn’t in the Bubble Playoffs. There was a real chance they could have gone back to the Finals, they also matched up better against Miami and LA because of their big men combo of Ibaka and Gasol. But anyways, my point is that OG was very good back then, he has obviously grown more in NY and has a much better dribble package than he had in Toronto, but dude has always been a stud.
He was cooking in the playoffs for us his rookie year. Post-Kawhi he hit that crazy game winner in the playoffs to stop us from going down 3-0 to the Celtics. We dragged them to 7 because of him. He’s always been a playoff performer.
His handle is better now. That’s the major improvement he’s made since the end of his tenure at the Raptors. He was just starting to take people off the dribble back then, and it was a bit ugly. It’s still not his strength but the better spacing the Knicks have than the last iteration of the Raptors he was on has helped
look at ogugua man so inspirational
Finals MVP
about to win Finals MVP without cracking a smile. That’s my guy
What a smile
That was like a sitcom laugh track lmao
“I’m excited, too. BAZINGA.”
He’s beautiful. Beautiful.
I love that I am equally confident he is definitely doing always doing a bit and also definitely not doing a bit. I genuinely think its both.
Sometime you can tell.
There’s so much overreaction right now. But I think a reasonable question to ponder is what size should the OG statue actually be?
50% bigger than Liberty? Twice as large?
Have to decide at some stage.
However large it needs to be to have his statute stand on both sides of the Hudson River like the colossus of Rhodes
Twice the size makes the most sense. Two statues though
“job finished? Jobs not finished” may be Kobe’s greatest contribution to basketball.
Always, 100%, the right mentality. Like mikal said, he’d been up 2-0 before. It ain’t over until it’s over.
Ogugua is such a chill cat. Dude hit the biggest putback in Knicks history
I see you have placed respect on his name.
Og is playing like a superstar he looks better than jaylen brown. Actually makes free throws as a slasher too
Im not excited
The Prince has become a King
He a cold Mfer. I remember his buzzer beater against the Cs in the bubble. Not smiling or celebrating. This time with he did it in MSG. Hes just stone cold
If OG wins the Finals MVP, he’s gonna take it from Adam Silver and walk away straight-faced without even lifting it. When interviewed, he’ll say “This is nice. It’s cool that we won.”
OG just put us all on scarves.
“OG, YOU BETTER STOP, OG!!”
That clip never fails to make me smile. I genuinely think Serge is upset.
Oh, he TOTALLY was. The greatest thing about this was when they both walked into the arena the next game wearing scarves. OG’s was peak ridiculous.
You got me sweating right now
OG?! OGGG!?
That clip is one of the best comedy clips involving actual professional athletes I’ve ever seen. OG is just masterful taking the piss out of Serge on his own YT channel. Poor Serge’s anger seems so genuine, I have no idea how OG didn’t break. He’s a legend.
Finals MVP him
My prince
OG has the Shaolin monk energy by nature.
Wemby gonna spend a week with OG in the offseason
The man studied under Kawhi. Of course he knows excitement when he compiles it- I mean when he sees it.
That Masai/Bobby Raptors winning DNA right there ❤️💪🏽
sweet prince
The best thing to ever come out of Missouri
Toronto*
Raptors fans miss their sweet prince
London
He moved to Missouri when he was 4.
From top to bottom every single player on this roster is so likeable
Raps fans know this is OG excited.
That time with Kawhi rubbed off on him
AYO
All that time banging in practice
Two physical dudes really getting at it
He’s fucking good.
I was sceptical of the Knicks trading for this guy in order to build a championship roster because he’s not a typical superstar, but man did he prove me wrong. He deserves FMVP
Real talk if the Knicks win it all is OG’s play the greatest moment in Knicks history over Willis Reed playing hurt?
Probably tied.
I wish he would smile more often 😍😍😍
He has a beautiful smile.
highkey cutie patootie
Made what might possibly be the craziest play in nba finals history:
“Yeah it feels cool”
lol gotta love the guy
Shoutout to OG man, 2019 Raptors alumni 🦖
Happy he’s getting the love this run and has a legit chance a FMVP. Homeboy went down for that 2019 run due to that ruptured appendix. Imagine if we could’ve unlocked him in that series, damn.
“Everyone is pretty excited. I’m excited, too”
Yelled Dumbledore, thrilled.
Ann Hathaway and Sunni Lee threesome for him:)
“It feels cool” damn bro relax.
my pookie bear!!!
finals mvp for real
Never too high never too low. Great way to be in life. That’s why he’s such a good player. Ice in his veins
This is the first time I’ve see OG smile for real
Knicks players are so goddamn likeable and easy to root for - why do their fans and owner have to be such cockheads lmao
Have to remember that OG is the player on this team that has won an nba championship so he knows celebration is after the mission is complete.
Fun guy 😂
I just adore him. Always have. I’m glad he got the glory in this win he deserved it.
Show him Anne Hathaway and he’ll be at peak excitement
What is all this Anne Hathaway stuff? I’m ootl
She comes to some games and is a fan.
OG went right into her and her kids while chasing a loose ball and he made sure they were ok.
After that, he had a great game and he’s had multiple great games when she’s in attendance so the sub jokes about OG getting a buff when Hathaway is around.
She also went on Jimmy Fallon and said “I’m very chill, I’m very loving and calm, but I’m also the type of fan who considered wearing an OG’s jersey out here today”
how am I supposed to sleep smh
Such a legendary tip in
ogugua!!!
Jobs not finished
Our sweet prince. We miss you in Toronto. Hope you win the chip and the FMVP
Him and kawhi on the raptors must have been wild
MY NONCHALANT KING
“What’s there to be happy about? Jobs not finished. Job finished? I don’t think so”
I don’t shoot to miss.
This might be the first time I’ve heard him speak and not what I expected
In other words, “Keep cool we ain’t win shit yet!”
What about scarves?
The Knicks went and got a Kawhi Leonard clone on their roster and didn’t think we’d notice.
He’s such a chill dude
Wow, OG broke character. Is this gonna go into a blooper reel ?
I’m a fun guy. uh ha HEEHHHHH hehahe heh heh
it feels cool
I’m so happy for him as he didn’t get to play in the raptors run as he was hurt he is such a great guy on and off the court
That was like a sitcom laugh track
It feels cool…….😃
Yall remember when OG’s brother announced his pre-game intro during the NBA bubble? The excitement runs in the family and I’d be goddamn thrilled to meet that family.
Anne Hathaway is blowing it
He’s locked in
No. That’s just OG
