As a long-time Knicks fan who’s seen it all, from Patrick Ewing’s dominance to the current era of OG Anunoby and RJ Barrett, I must say that this latest court-side encounter between our beloved player and none other than Anne Hathaway was a truly unforgettable moment. It’s not every day you witness such a star-studded collision, with a Hollywood queen gracing the courtside seats and an NBA star knocking popcorn in her direction like it was some sort of royal court ritual!
Sitting courtside at an NBA game is a fantastic experience, but it’s also incredibly expensive. This is often why players get star-struck by celebrities, because they’re the ones who can afford to sit in those sought-after seats. On the heels of us reporting on RJ Barrett calling out Nikolaj Coster-Waldau at a game, New York Knicks player OG Anunoby had a funny close encounter with the iconic Anne Hathaway. The moment was so hilarious, in fact, that Knicks fans are now letting the jokes fly left and right about it.
If you happened to have missed it, the meeting took place on Wednesday amidst the Chicago Bulls’ thrilling win against the Knicks. It’s not surprising that many Knicks fans prefer not to discuss that game, but here’s why this particular moment between Anunoby and Hathaway is captivating their attention – take a look at the video below for an explanation:
In a surprising twist, Anne Hathaway, who usually exudes Audrey Hepburn-like elegance on the red carpet, left me taken aback with her stunning jewelry at a Knicks game. If her wealth allows for such extravagant accessories, she probably wouldn’t have given a second thought to OG Anunoby accidentally spilling popcorn in front of her. Admittedly, snacks from concession stands aren’t cheap, but considering her upcoming role in another Christopher Nolan film, I assume she has the funds to handle the clean-up cost.
A multitude of responses surfaced following the instant on X, with Knicks supporters expressing a wide array of opinions about the interaction. Here’s a summary of the general sentiments, and who would have imagined such diverse viewpoints stemming from such a brief episode?
- Catwoman aint shook.. She wouldve evaded easily.. – @NikoJHova
- I would’ve almost crashed too if I saw Anne Hathaway – @Br0nToLA23
- OG knew he couldn’t hurt the princess of Genovia – @statdefender
- You ladies alright ahh play –@barsstoolcfb
- Bro def took his time getting back – @CrowsNets
It’s important to mention that I can’t help but empathize with Jack, who appeared dazed after losing the popcorn and surprised to be so near a NBA player. I’m certain this moment will linger in his memory for quite some time, and it appears as though other fans are sharing the same sentiment.
NBA sensation Victor Wembanyama recently crossed paths with Hayden Christensen and other Star Wars veterans, leaving me desperately hoping he’ll join the series.
It’s uncommon to spot Anne Hathaway at New York Knicks matches, yet some famous faces do attend regularly. Director Spike Lee is almost always present for a home game, while I’ve also noticed Ben Stiller and Chris Rock quite frequently over time. It’s likely they’ve met the players, although not necessarily in the same way OG Anunoby and Anne Hathaway might have interacted.
This interaction shares the same lively atmosphere as when Emma Stone bid farewell to a Phoenix Suns player, causing the entire team to become noticeably animated. Considering the NBA players’ age range typically falls within the younger end of Millennials and Gen-Z, many have grown up admiring actresses like Anne Hathaway on the silver screen. For instance, The Princess Diaries 2 celebrated its 20th anniversary this year; I hope this fact doesn’t make older readers feel too old.
