OG Anunoby just dropped his exclusive take on Taylor Swift, revealing his favorite song by the pop superstar after her very public support for the New York Knicks at Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals. This dude, who became a legend hitting that game-winning tip-in, apparently has a soft spot for Swift’s tunes.
The Championship Moment and the Celebrity Buzz
We’re talking about a historic moment here: the Knicks’ 2026 NBA Championship, which finally ended New York’s brutal 53-year drought. Anunoby was right in the thick of it. He hit that iconic, game-winning tip-in with just over a second left in Game 4 back on June 10, a play that cemented the Knicks’ path to the title. And guess who was courtside? None other than Taylor Swift, rocking a “Stevie Knicks” T-shirt, sitting right next to Mariska Hargitay. The star power didn’t stop there, either. Alana Haim, Este Haim, Ben Stiller, Christine Taylor, Spike Lee, Adam Sandler, Michael J. Fox, Julianne Moore, Tracy Morgan, and Nas were all in attendance. Talk about a packed house for a game-changing moment!
Anunoby’s Unexpected Swiftie Reveal
So, what’s Anunoby’s pick? When asked by PEOPLE about his favorite Taylor Swift song, the 29-year-old Knicks guard pondered briefly before deciding on “Blank Space.” Yeah, you read that right. “Blank Space.” Coincidentally, it’s also her husband Travis Kelce’s favorite. Anunoby tells PEOPLE he’s never actually met Swift but appreciates her music, noting, “she has great songs.” He’s thankful for all the fans, celebrity or not, who supported the team through their championship run, saying, “everyone who supports us as a fan I’m very thankful for and appreciative of.” No particular person stood out, just the collective roar of support.
Celebrating a Historic Season and What’s Next
Anunoby recently teamed up with Essentia Water for a Times Square basketball event, celebrating that incredible championship season. He told PEOPLE he’s always been a fan of the brand and their “Change the equation” motto. Sounds like a perfect fit, especially after he and the Knicks literally changed the equation by winning the championship. For New York, it’s all about soaking in that championship glory and celebrating a season that will go down in history. The party isn’t over yet, and Anunoby’s just out here giving shout-outs to pop stars while he’s at it. What a legend.
