Coach Melo? While talking with ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne after the Knicks’ improbable NBA Finals Game 4 comeback Wednesday, Knicks legend Carmelo Anthony said he played a role in OG Anuno…
Anthony, now a broadcaster for NBC Sports, was at the game and said he was giving instructions to Knicks players before their crucial final possession when they were trailed by one point.
Carmelo Anthony applauding at the 2026 NBA Finals game between the San Antonio Spurs and the New York Knicks.
“I was yelling at them the whole time, ‘The offensive rebound is there! The offensive rebound is there! ” after the 107-106 win.
“Coming out of that timeout, I made eye contact with them and was yelling, ‘The offensive rebound is there! Somebody go!
'”was telling them to do, but Anthony’s advice proved solid. Anunoby’s game-winning putback with 1.2 seconds left came on an offensive rebound after Jalen Brunson missed a deep 3 that pulled Spurs star Victor Wembanyama out of the paint to contest the shot. The Knicks forward then leaped above some smaller Spurs guards to produce one of the most iconic moments in NBA history, giving the team the 107-106 edge.
After starting his career with the Nuggets, the Knicks traded for Anthony in 2011, where he spent seven seasons and helped lead the Knicks to the playoffs three times. Anthony made the All-Star team every year with the Knicks, won the NBA’s scoring title with 28.7 points per game in 2012-13, was named to the All-NBA Second Team in 2013 and set the Knicks all-time record for points in a game with 62 in 2014.
Another unbelievable Knicks win and another cover worth framing to hold onto this moment.
