You know that feeling when a team just clicks? Not because they’re winning every night or someone dropped 40, but because something about their chemistry just makes you believe. Like, it’s not just about buckets or box scores. It’s the little things. The shared smirks after a timeout. The inside jokes only caught on mic’d-up clips. And when you see Karl-Anthony Towns laughing harder than he probably should at OG Anunoby? That’s the vibe. Something’s brewing in New York, and it’s more than just cap sheets and title dreams.
Let’s rewind a bit. When the Knicks landed OG Anunoby, the storyline was all defense and versatility. No one really mentioned his dry wit or ability to keep a locker room loose. But fast-forward a few months, and Towns isn’t just gelling with him on the court, he’s reposting highlight reels of OG being OG. This isn’t your average “new teammate is cool” moment. Nah, KAT’s latest move might say more about New York’s internal hierarchy than any press conference or coach-speak ever could.
Karl-Anthony Towns took to Instagram on July 27 and reshared a Knicks reel titled “New OG characters unlocked ”- a funny compilation of OG Anunoby’s deadpan reactions and moments. But it wasn’t just a casual double-tap. Towns added his own flair: “Funniest Player on the Team”. And this wasn’t a random toss-off comment either. Back in March, he told The Athletic that OG’s humor was “like Curb Your Enthusiasm funny.”

That’s niche. That’s real. It’s the kind of praise you don’t throw around unless the vibes are genuinely great. Coming from Towns, who’s had his fair share of locker room personalities over the years, it means something.
