OG Anunoby nearly crashed into a courtside Anne Hathaway during Bulls-Knicks

Close call!

You just never know who is going to interact with whom at a sporting event.

During Wednesday night’s New York Knicks home game against the Chicago Bulls, Knicks forward OG Anunoby stumbled and almost crashed into actor Anne Hathaway, who was sitting by the court. 

This was a chance encounter you couldn’t predict, but the moment thankfully ended in just spilled popcorn and a story for both to tell their family and friends.

Celebrities sitting courtside is nothing new in the NBA, but a moment like this is always going to feel surprising and new. We’re glad it was just a brief hello for the duo and not an actual collision.
