New York Knicks star OG Anunoby certainly played hard, and it looks like he partied too.
The Knicks’ Game 4 hero appeared with some of his teammates on “Good Morning America” Monday morning, and while he was physically present, mentally he could have been somewhere else.
Anunoby was asked about the difference first-year head coach Mike Brown made and how he brought the team together. The 28-year-old remained mute and stared into space, as if he had not heard the question.

After a couple of seconds of silence, the “Good Morning America” team and Anunoby’s Knicks teammates burst out laughing. Jalen Brunson, being the good captain that he is, offered to step forward and answer the question with a laugh.
Karl-Anthony Towns took the reins and answered the question, while Anunoby sat obliviously. For Anunoby, the Knicks’ title celebration was the first time he consumed alcohol, according to The Athletic report.

His first sip (or rather, gulp) of alcohol was a strong shot of tequila in the Knicks locker room. The way things went on Monday morning, Anunoby didn’t stop drinking after the locker room.
The team hosted a party Sunday night in Manhattan at a private club after immediately flying back from Texas, according to the New York Post.

At one point during the interview, Michael Strahan asked Anunoby to smile, which he did, much to the delight of his teammates. Anunoby seemed to be struggling to keep his eyes open after Strahan’s request, sending his teammates into more hysteria.
Anunoby, who was named to the NBA All-Defensive Second Team, was instrumental in the team’s playoff run. He played tight defense while also serving as a major offensive contributor. He averaged just over 20 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.1 blocks in 17 playoff games.
