OG Anunoby may be tip-in savvy, but he seemingly isn’t too tech savvy.
Following the Knicks’ 94-90 Game 5 victory that earned the franchise its first NBA championship in 53 years, the star forward brought fans a behind-the-scenes look into the locker room festivities through Instagram live — and it was completely accidental.
At the start of the video, champagne is being sprayed around the Larry O’Brien championship trophy
as Karl-Anthony Towns comes into view to say “We live baby, we live,” while wearing goggles.
At that moment, Anunoby realized his error and went into a bit of a panic.

“How do you end the live?” Anunoby repeatedly asked. “How do you end this?”
After 25 seconds, the show came to and end with Anunoby’s finger partially over his phone camera.
While it made for a funny postgame moment, but it won’t overshadow Anunoby’s efforts to get the Knicks to this point.
He finished Saturday’s game with 11 points and eight rebounds, including the final board of contest as he held the ball when the final buzzer sounded.

He had an NBA Finals and career-defining moment in Game 4 when he tipped in the game-winning shot that sent Madison Square Garden into hysterics and gave the Knicks a commanding 3-1 series lead.
It has since been discussed as a top New York sports moment and skyrocketed Anunoby to Knicks legend status.
The celebrations will only continue for Anunoby and New York as the Knicks championship parade is set for Thursday, June 18.
