New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby recently participated in an event in Times Square, organized by Essentia Water, where he engaged with fans and reflected on his pivotal Game 4 NBA Finals moment. The event, held at The Essentia Supercharged Court, featured a setup marking the approximate location of his game-winning tip-in.
Anunoby, who has become a significant presence for the Knicks since his acquisition, described the experience as "really cool." He felt the "fans, all the excitement after the win, all together" during the event. During the festivities, fans attempted to replicate his iconic shot, with Anunoby sometimes making his own attempts.

As the Knicks look towards the upcoming season, the team faces a competitive Eastern Conference. Rivals have made significant moves, with the 76ers adding Jaylen Brown and LeBron James, and the Heat acquiring Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Pacers are also set to welcome back Tyrese Haliburton. Anunoby commented on the player movement, noting that "every year, there's turnover, player movement," calling it "just usual."
