New York Knicksstar OG Anunoby certainly played hard, and it looks like he partied hard, too.

The Knicks’ Game 4 hero appeared with some of his teammates on “Good Morning America” on Monday morning, and while he was physically present, mentally he might have been somewhere else.

Anunoby was asked about the differencefirst-year head coachMike Brown made and how he brought the team together.The 28-year-old remained mute and stared off into the void, as if he didn’t hear the question.

After a couple of seconds of silence, the “Good Morning America” crew and Anunoby’s Knicks teammates burst out laughing.Jalen Brunson, being the good captain that he is, offered to step up and answer the question through laughter.

Karl-Anthony Towns then took the reins and answered the question, while Anunoby sat there oblivious.For Anunoby, the Knicks’ title celebration was the first time he had consumed alcohol, according toThe Athletic’sreport.

His first sip — or rather, chug — of alcohol was a strong pull of tequila in the Knicks’ locker room.By the looks of how things went on Monday morning, Anunoby didn’t stop drinking after the locker room.

The team threw a party Sunday night in Manhattan at a private club after immediately flying back from Texas, according to theNew York Post.

At one point during the interview, Michael Strahan asked Anunoby to smile, which he did, much to the delight of his teammates.Anunoby looked like he was struggling to keep his eyes open after Strahan’s request, sending his teammates into further hysteria.

Anunoby, who was named to the NBA’s All-Defensive Second Team, was integral in theteam’s playoff run.He played shutdown defense while also serving as a meaningful offensive contributor.He averaged just more than 20 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.1 blocks across 17 playoff games.
