New York Knicks star OG Anunoby spoke with the “Inside the NBA” crew following his team’s blowout victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Saturday, and as is often the case with the legendary bunch, the conversation quickly went off the rails.
When it became Charles Barkley’s turn to ask Anunoby a question, he wasn’t concerned about learning anything at all about the game that had just taken place. Barkley instead wanted to ask the Knicks’ forward a personal, albeit incredibly basic, question.
When Barkley prefaced the moment by asking Anunoby, “Can I ask you a question?” you just knew that a classic moment from Chuck was about to unfold, which is exactly what happened.
“OG, can I ask you a question? What is your real name?” Barkley asked, which is a fact he could have learned himself in approximately four seconds with a quick Google search.
The back-and-forth that then unfolded, which included Barkley joking that OG wasn’t saying his own name correctly, did not disappoint.
