Jimmy Fallon drops GOAT take on Knicks star OG Anunoby’s Game 4 putback

The New York Knicks kept their championship celebration going with a late-night spotlight on OG Anunoby and the putback that changed Game 4 of the NBA Finals. The decisive play remains a defining image from the team’s 2026 title run.

Anunoby appeared on The Tonight Show with Mikal Bridges, Josh Hart, and Jimmy Fallon as the group revisited New York’s 107-106 Game 4 win over the San Antonio Spurs. The moment was significant because it helped the Knicks take a commanding 3-1 Finals lead.

The Knicks had trailed by 29 points at halftime at MSG before completing the largest comeback in NBA Finals history. The Knicks forward capped off the rally by tipping in a miss with 1.2 seconds left, giving the Knicks control of the series before they closed out the championship in Game 5.

The NBA shared the segment on X, formerly Twitter, as Fallon and the Knicks players revisited the final sequence, its place in the franchise’s long-awaited title story, and the magnitude of the clutch shot.

“It has to be one of the greatest plays in the history of sports.”

Fallon’s reaction captured how the play moved beyond a single possession. New York had waited since 1973 to celebrate another NBA title, and Anunoby’s putback instantly became part of that championship memory.

The play also reflected his overall impact. Anunoby averaged 21.2 points and 4.8 rebounds across five Finals games, giving the Knicks steady two-way production while they finished the job.

For New York, the television appearance worked as more than a victory lap. It allowed Anunoby, Bridges, and Hart to revisit a moment that fans will remember for years, while Fallon framed it with the emotion of a lifelong Knicks supporter.

The praise may have carried fan energy, but the scale matched the achievement. The Knicks ended a 53-year championship drought, and Anunoby’s Game 4 putback helped turn a comeback into franchise history.
