OG Anunoby has become a key player for the New York Knicks, frequently scoring high points for their top-ranked offense.
Microphone Mischief
Despite his impressive performance on the court, Anunoby has developed a quirky habit of grabbing microphones during interviews. After scoring 25 points in a victory over the Charlotte Hornets, he took the mic from reporter Alan Hahn during his postgame interview. This behavior isn’t new; Karl-Anthony Towns humorously shouted at him to stop after witnessing it multiple times.

Just ten days after joining the Knicks from Toronto, Anunoby scored 23 points against Portland and repeated his microphone snatching act with Rebecca Haarlow.
Team Chemistry and Winning Streaks
Anunoby’s presence is felt beyond just interviews. His contribution to team chemistry is evident as the Knicks enjoy a five-game winning streak. Fans love seeing how well he’s fitting in with both offense and defense.

On November 17, he scored 24 points and grabbed eight rebounds against Brooklyn, once again taking control of the mic from Hahn after the game.

A Natural Thief?
Anunoby’s knack for stealing extends beyond microphones; he leads the Knicks with an average of 1.5 steals per game this season. Last year, he led the entire NBA with 1.9 steals per game! It seems like he’s always ready to swipe anything not nailed downโeven if it’s just a microphone!
This season marks Anunoby’s rise as more than just a defensive starโhe’s also becoming an offensive powerhouse. Scoring a career-high 40 points on November 25 contributed to his best-ever average of 17.7 points per game.
We think fans are thrilled to see Anunoby shine this season!
While his defensive skills have earned him All-Defensive team honors before, it’s only now that he’s regularly in front of cameras postgame due to his scoring prowess.
The Knicks hope he continues playing at this level while Towns and broadcasters wish he’d leave their equipment alone!
