New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby on Tuesday scored arguably the most hardcore hoop of the season during his team’s 128-113 win over the Dallas Mavericks.
Anunoby took a blow to the face from Mavericks center Kai Jones midway through the third quarter at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan, N.Y. As play went on, a stream of blood started to trickle down from Anunoby’s nose.
The Knicks’ broadcast noticed pointed it out. But instead of asking Knicks trainers to take a look at him, Anunoby just wiped the blood off and kept playing. After bloodying his jersey, Anunoby caught a pass in the corner and drained a three.
The blood did not deter the stone-faced Anunoby in the slightest. He hit another three and then got a dunk a few possessions later.
Anunoby most likely did not want to be substituted out because he was having a tremendous offensive night. He scored 35 points, his second-highest total of the season, after shooting 15/24 in the game.
In addition to basketball, Anunoby has a talent for being viral for other reasons. Anunoby made headlines on social media earlier this season after almost running Anne Hathaway over.
