OG Anunoby Drops 32 After Spotting Suni Lee Courtside, Knicks Fans Demand She Attend Every Game

The New York Knicks took down the Phoenix Suns 112 to 98 on Sunday night. Still, the real fireworks came from OG Anunoby, who erupted for 32 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists, possibly powered by Olympic gold medalist Sunisa Lee’s courtside presence.

Social media immediately connected the dots in the only way Twitter (or X, or whatever we’re calling it now) knows how: with unfiltered chaos and comedy.

The Performance: OG Anunoby Turned Into Prime Kawhi with a Side of MJ

Let’s talk numbers. Anunoby shot like he was trying to unlock a cheat code, draining pull-ups, dunking in transition, and casually torching the Suns’ defense like they owed him money. It was his 10th straight game with at least 20 points, but this 32-point explosion had fans wondering if something (or someone) had sparked it.

Spoiler alert: It was Sunisa Lee.

Enter Sunisa Lee: Olympic Royalty and Now Knicks Good Luck Charm?

Midway through the game, the Madison Square Garden jumbotron zoomed in on none other than Sunisa Lee, the Olympic champion gymnast known for flipping, twisting, and now apparently helping OG Anunoby channel his inner Kobe Bryant.

Lee, attending her first Knicks game (again), was all smiles, and so was OG once she showed up. Twitter immediately noticed the correlation.

Twitter Reacts: The Timeline is in Shambles (In the Best Way Possible)

Once OG started cooking and the cameras showed Suni Lee courtside, Twitter did what Twitter does best: spin theories and drop hot takes.

Here are a few gems:

• “This man OG is playing out his mind. I need Sunisa Lee at all Knicks games from now on.”
• “Once they showed Sunisa Lee at the Knicks game, knew OG was gonna go off.”
• “OG Anunoby crashed out whenever he sees Suni Lee at the courtside.”
• “OG Anunoby saw Suni Lee sitting courtside and turned into 2019 Kawhi Leonard.”
• “Suni Lee in the Garden tonight, that’s why OG went crazy.”
• “Suni Lee was at the game, and OG started ballin’. I’m crine.”

One user even suggested the Knicks sign her to a multi-year fan contract. Honestly, Leon Rose, pick up the phone.

Not the First Time OG’s Had a Star Moment (Literally)

Anunoby is no stranger to viral MSG moments. Let’s not forget when he nearly steamrolled actress Anne Hathaway and her kid courtside back in November, prompting a flurry of “OG, watch out!” memes. He’s low-key become the NBA’s most unpredictable magnet for celebrity run-ins and elite stat lines.

Brunson Returns, But OG Steals the Show

Jalen Brunson made his return from a sprained ankle, dropping 15 points and 6 assists. While it was good to have JB back in the mix, OG was the headline, the sub-headline, and the next morning’s group chat convo.

The Garden: Where Anything Can Happen (Especially When Suni Lee is There)

Sunisa Lee has now been to two Knicks games, and OG has gone off in both. At this point, Knicks fans are building altars and manifesting her as the team’s playoff talisman. Forget game plans. Forget analytics. Just get Suni Lee courtside and watch the magic happen.

She even left the game saying, “Oh my gosh, it was so cool. I had so much fun.” Same, girl. Same.

What’s Next: A Playoff Push Fueled by Gymnastics Magic?

With OG’s hot streak and Brunson back in the lineup, the Knicks are rolling toward the playoffs with momentum and superstition. At 50 and 28, they’re in prime position for the No. 3 seed in the East.

If Suni Lee is in attendance for even one playoff game, Vegas odds may shift dramatically.

Suni Lee for Team President?

There are MVP chants for Anunoby and now, some lowkey MVP buzz for Suni Lee, honorary Knicks spark plug. One thing is clear. If she’s in the building, OG is about to cook.

Knicks PR, you know what to do: permanent courtside seat for the queen of flips and the unofficial sixth man of MSG.

Stay tuned for more updates… and more Suni sightings. The Knicks’ playoff magic may just come with a cartwheel.
