Knicks forward OG Anunoby gifted Emmy-winning TV host Martha Stewart a pair of his shoes after she posted about them on Instagram.
The shoes were size 15.5 and included a “very nice message” and autograph, Stewart said on her Instagram.
The footwear flirtation started when Stewart commented on Instagram recently: “OG Anunoby wears my favorite Skechers while playing for the Knicks tonight at the Garden!!!!!“
Anunoby responded: “i’m glad you like them martha.”
Stewart has appeeared at a couple of games this postseason at MSG as the Knicks have made a run to the NBA Finals — most recently at Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Cavaliers.
Stewart, who was convicted of five felony charges related to the ImClone stock trading case, spent five months in federal prison for fraud. She was released in March 2005.
The media entrepreneur returned to professional life after her release, becoming Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia’s chairwoman again in 2015.
Her company has since been acquired by Sequential Brands Group and then sold for $175 million.
Stewart became the oldest woman to appear on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue at age 81 in 2023.
Anunoby, who sent Stewart a pair of Skechers, signed with the company in May 2025 during the Knicks’ previous playoff run.
The former Indiana Hoosier joined Joel Embiid, Julius Randle and Josh Green on the Sketchers team.
Anunoby is averaging 19.7 points per game, 6.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists and one block per game this postseason spanning 12 games.
Many of his numbers are up from the regular season, when he averaged 16.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 0.7 blocks per game.
Anunoby missed part of the second-round 76ers series after suffering a hamstring injury in Game 2. He also missed nine games during the regular season with a similar injury.
The forward and his Knicks teammates face the San Antonio Spurs in Game 1 of the 2026 NBA Finals on Wednesday night.
Anunoby averaged 16.3 points per game against the Spurs this season, with a high of 28 in December.
He also added 6.3 rebounds, two assists and one turnover per game.
