Charles Barkley turned New York's postgame "Inside the NBA" interview sideways by asking OG Anunoby, "What is your real name?" and joking that the Knicks forward was saying it wrong.
The exchange came after Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals, when Barkley skipped game analysis for a personal question that sparked the segment's main talking point.
121-108 was the final score in Cleveland, where Anunoby finished with 21 points, hit 3 of 4 from deep and grabbed seven rebounds in 31 minutes.
New York now leads the series 3-0 and can finish a second straight playoff sweep Monday in Cleveland, which would send the Knicks to their first NBA Finals since 1999.
Is OG Anunoby's elite two-way play the key that has finally made the Knicks legitimate title contenders?
What does the Knicks' dominance over the high-payroll Cavaliers reveal about the blueprint for building a championship team today?
