Jose Alvarado recently had a hilarious interaction with his daughters, who just wanted to call their newborn brother after his New York Knicks teammate OG Anunoby.
âÂÂThat's not his name,â Alvarado told one of his daughters, who adorably insisted on calling their brother âÂÂOG Anunoby.âÂÂ
The other daughter backed up his sister, telling Alvarado, âÂÂThatâÂÂs not fair. Why canâÂÂt we call him OG Anunoby?âÂÂ

It seems that Alvarado's daughters have a favorite Knicks player outside of their dad.

There must be at least a few babies named after OG Anunoby after he made one of the most famous plays in NBA Finals history. That was when he scored on a tip-in with just 1.2 seconds left in Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs.
His bucket gave the Knicks a 107-106 win and, more importantly, a 3-1 series lead. Of course, it needs to be mentioned that the tip-in capped New York's incredible comeback from 29 points down in that game
Alvarado also played a part in the Knicks' success against the Spurs. In that five-game series, he averaged 4.2 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists, while providing New York a spark off the bench. He was traded by the New Orleans Pelicans to New York in February and signed a three-year, $14.38 million contract extension with the Knicks in July.
