OG Anunoby | New York Knicks Postgame Press Conference | January 20th, 2024
Strange to to see them coming even P not being there it’s a lot different now it’s crazy plus minus numbers no I people say stuff that I don’t know when they say it are you impressed are you yeah yeah I mean I’m impressed I mean always want an impact winning so
Just want to keep having a good plus minus does it feel like you’re you’re impacting winning when you’re out there yeah I feel I feel like it even like plays that don’t go on the stat sheet you know little stuff a steal here and there a block uh forcing or like a
Contest you know a close out that forces a bad out like little stuff that get doesn’t get noticed feel like I try to do all those little things see the guys today but do you think seeing the emotion today of RJ and those guys do you think about when you’re going to go
Back to Toronto now oh yeah I don’t it’ll be it’ll be a crazy feel when I go back for sure but I’m looking forward to it though you get to go out with um Kristen to dinner or anything like that no know I didn’t get to go with him but
We we talk we talk every day I talk to the guys every day Scotty I talk to him all the time every day pasc of the other day that like he really never imagined playing for another franchise I know you guys are very different in some ways
What was your reaction when the trade happened and and was it is it weird still not to be a raptor it’s still weird not being a raptor you know like him I never imagine playing for another team I’ve been in Toronto I was in Toronto for seven years um I loved it
There so I never imagine play for other team but marj quickly got hot early and that’s kind of why they were able to take that lead what did it take to kind of weather that emotional advantage that they had early oh just a taking care of
The ball uh we were turning the ball over a lot getting shots and then getting stops getting stringing out stops three stops in a row run on transition and then just making shots being aggressive go to the rim is there something to the idea of impacting
Winning and just kind of the flow of a team when you’ve been somewhere for seven years and then you go somewhere else and obviously you guys have been on this stretch that you guys are on your plus minus I think historic plus minus so far in 10 or 11 games does it feel
Any different than the way that maybe you were impacting winning somewhere else or just kind of the difference that it might be to other guys because of the way you guys have been playing since you’ve been here I don’t know maybe I don’t know yeah still new still adjusting everything still learning
Stuff still getting comfortable but just try my best to do those little things that I’ve always kind of done you out on the fast break it feels like every other play just with the stops you guys are making they’re finding you on the runouts um is that just a function
Of the amount of stops you guys are making what do you feel like is is kind of prompting that oh yeah the amount of stops and then like third three-pointer usually a long rebound run out someone’s open ahead kick ahead someone’s going to be open someone be
Trailing do you you ever follow tis’ teams when he when he coach the Bulls yeah M remind you yeah I’ve watched a lot of him he’s a great player and I’ve watched a lot of his film even when even before so way that uh the similarities yeah but we’re
Both different you know there similarities though for sure

Happy to have this man on the squad
🧡💙
thank you for blocking rj
Humble kid ! 👍
Great pick up. Calm but determined to improve.
He has the Championship vibes won one in Toronto now it’s winning one in NYC ‼️‼️‼️‼️
This was considered a off game offensively and still impacted the guy at a high level
OG🎉
Us fans don’t realize how hard it has to be for these players to get traded away from friends and family so I’m proud of the way these guys have played in this emotional time for them so it’ll only get better.
Definitely his most words spoken since becoming a Knick! 😂 Nice to see him open up a bit while maintaining his "all about business" demeanor.
What a perfect piece for this team. So exciting to see OG & Mitch on the court together. Knicks defense will get even better.
Been preaching for years that we dont need rj. This guy is a seamless fit
Grab spida..
Eric?
Keep going our raptor guy forever Thanks again OG
Let’s Go Knicks 🔵🟠
OG fits it's all about the fit. GO KNICKS
