Assuming the Knicks finish this with the Larry O’Brien Trophy — which they certainly will after snatching victory from thin air Wednesday — the tip-in will serve as the biggest shot in franchise history.
Yup, it’s declared.
OG Anunoby’s soaring putback will be bigger than those two buckets from Willis Reed in 1970, bigger than Allan Houston off the backboard in Miami, bigger than John Starks’ dunk over Michael Jordan or Larry Johnson’s four-point play.
When the Knicks win the championship, OG’s tip will be like David Tyree’s helmet catch, or Derek Jeter’s flip.
