Knicks can’t contain their laughter at stone-faced OG Anunoby in viral ‘GMA’ moment
The festivities are seemingly getting to at least one Knicks player already.
Since winning their first NBA championship in 53 years, the Knicks have been everywhere.
The team flew back to New York Saturday night, immediately after their celebrations at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, foregoing a night in Texas and a flight Sunday morning. They quickly joined the celebrations throughout the city, including throwing a party at a private club in Manhattan and hopping around to various media appearances on Monday.
During a guest appearance on “Good Morning America,” OG Anunoby went viral for being appearing to be completely checked out and his fellow teammates couldn’t contain their laughter.
After host George Stephanopoulos asked about the “difference” coach Mike Brown made in their run to the title and how he made the most of his team, there was an awkward silence as Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, Josh Hart and Mikal Bridges all turned to Anunoby for him to answer.
However, Anunoby didn’t do so nor did he give any signs that he heard the question as he kept a stone face on live television.
Everyone burst into laughter and Brunson went on to say, “I guess I’ll answer.”
It was instead Towns who stepped up to the question as Anunoby stared into space.
Eventually, Towns had a hard time looking at his teammate, bursting into laughter.
The usually reserved Anunoby was later forced into a smile by the hosts, which sent Towns and Brunson even more into a laughing fit.
Knicks fans also joined in on the fun on social media, laughing at their player.
“OG is hanging on for dear life,” an X user posted.
“OG has to factory reset,” another said.
