Watch: Knicks' OG Anunoby delivers massive 'grown man jam'

OG Anunoby played 45 minutes for the New York Knicks in Game 6. He wasn't too tired to deliver one of the most impressive dunks of the playoffs late in his team's 118-115 win.

After Isaiah Hartenstein tipped out a Donte DiVincenzo miss, DiVincenzo found Anunoby wide open behind the three-point line. But New York's prized midseason acquisition didn't settle, spotting an open lane to the basket and delivering what announcer Ian Eagle called a "grown man jam."

The only knock on Anunoby's monster slam was that he missed the subsequent free throw to complete the three-point play. That didn't seem like a big deal, as New York had an eight-point lead, but Philadelphia went on to tie the game in the final seconds.

Anunoby is a defensive specialist, but he took on an aggressive offensive role in Game 6. He scored 19 points on 8-of-17 shooting. He also grabbed nine rebounds, part of a teamwide commitment to the glass that saw the Knicks collect 20 offensive rebounds.

He's likely to sign an extension with New York this summer, given the team's trade for him and Anunoby's ties to CAA. Until then, he's got a series with the Indiana Pacers coming — and a whole new set of players to dunk on.
