OG Anunoby memes go viral after Anne Hathaway Knicks jersey confession before 29-pt Game 6 showcase

During a promotional appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the night before the Thursday release of The Devil Wears Prada 2, Anne Hathaway’s enthusiasm for the NBA and the New York Knicks became a talking point.

Midway through the interview, Hathaway started speaking about her fandom for the Knicks as well as how close she was to almost wearing OG Anunoby’s jersey for the promotional appearance. Her enthusiastic mention of Anunoby possibly lit a different kind of fire in the Knicks forward ahead of their Game 6 against the Atlanta Hawks.

On Thursday, Apr. 30, 2026, the Knicks beat the Hawks 89-140, where Anunoby led the charge with a dominating display. At the end of the game, he played 27 Min and scored 29 points. Hathaway’s confession and Anunoby’s energetic gameplay soon unleashed a flurry of memes on the internet.

On X, one fan wrote: “No wonder [why] he’s cooking right now.” While another fan wrote, “The goat debate is over. Anne Hathaway never talked about Bron or Jordan like this.” While another commented, “Clearly it’s working he got 29 in a blowout.” Another fan added, “The Anne Hathaway game.” Adding to the humor, another fan suggested making Hathaway the coach, “Make her the coach ASAP. You guys can win it all.” Another fan commented, “OG Anunoby balling out for Anne Hathaway. What a blessed world.”

Apart from Hathaway, several other celebrities were present courtside for the game, including Lauren Cohan, Michael J. Fox, Queen Latifah, and Fat Joe.
