OG Anunoby Wins ESPY For Best Play

A miraculous tip-in finished off the greatest comeback in NBA playoff history.
By John Amato — July 16, 2026

As a lifelong N.Y. Knicks fan, this moment was insane.

In their conference final game one series against Cleveland, the Knicks pulled off a remarkable 22-point comeback with less than 9 minutes remaining, but being down by 29 to Wemby and the Hawks' defense of San Antonio, I thought there was no chance that would happen again.

Was I wrong.

The tip-in was more exciting than seeing Oz's routine at the ESPYs.

Open thread.
