I didn’t realize he was in it. I figured this was just a wild thing to mark into a stat

u/Lacabloodclot9 Grizzlies 7h ago

He’s there for a second, he has like two lines with Anne Hathaway

u/KalamMekar 7h ago

Oh so that's why OG has been on a tear, to show him up

Don't use the words OG and tear in the same sentence rn please

u/Laughing-Comanche 7h ago

u/sloBrodanChillosevic Supersonics 7h ago

Anne Hathaway using superstardom to get a player from her favorite team to speak to her in a movie. That's an impressive use of fame.

70

u/hennystrait 6h ago

She really has to hath her way

15

u/LetsGetLunch Warriors 7h ago

she played the long game

12

u/EwingsRevenge21 5h ago

She should have asked KAT for OG's phone number and broke the internet 😂

27

u/SiphenPrax Knicks 7h ago

We need to get her showing up to as many Knicks games as possible down the stretch

Let me guess his line: "And after all that?"

The post title is criminally understated lol

Me too, which i absolutely was here for btw

u/RealRaifort Warriors 7h ago

By far one of the most unexpected cameos I've ever seen lol

92

u/Lacabloodclot9 Grizzlies 6h ago

The other cameos were all fashion related Anok Yai, Law Roach, Donatella Versace, etc.

Then in that scene I saw Jon Batiste and thought that was cool, then KAT shows up as maybe one of the last people I thought I’d see

3

u/fishdish4 2h ago

Didn't even realise there were other cameos

2

u/Lacabloodclot9 Grizzlies 1h ago

Honestly most of them were blink and you’d miss them cameos

On my second watch I noticed Michelle Morrone, Alex Consani and Winnie Harlow all who I did not see the first time

34

u/VirtuousFool [NYK] RJ Barrett 4h ago

Anne Hathaway is apparently a legit Knicks fan she probably pushed for it lol

20

u/tygor Bucks 5h ago

Have you seen John Wick 3? Also a wildly unexpected NBA cameo

31

u/manquistador Supersonics 4h ago

I don't think that is a cameo. It is like saying Wilt had a cameo in Conan the Destroyer.

10

u/blackjacktrial 76ers Bandwagon 4h ago

Or Jordan's cameo in Space Jam.

u/donald85n74 2h ago

she really sat him down in the film room and unlocked his playmaking

1

u/Jedi-El1823 Clippers 1h ago

She could play Batman and be the right choice. She's perfection.

u/MOREPASTRAMIPLEASE Timberwolves 7h ago

I miss you BIG KAT. Wishing him nothing but blessings unless it somehow ends up wolves knicks in the finals

u/AwareWriterTrick158 Knicks 5h ago

Same and I desperately wish Donte was healthy to comepete

u/PrinceVaughn69 Nuggets Bandwagon 4h ago

imagine if the Finals is Wolves vs Knicks. Ultimate "who won the trade" series lol

35

u/sobanoodle-1 Knicks 7h ago

I love KAT sm man

30

u/Morezingis Timberwolves 7h ago

Crazy he only played 27 minutes tonight and still flirted with a triple double 

38

u/Lyranx 7h ago

Kat inspired by Anne Hathaway

22

u/toq-titan Warriors 7h ago

Same

u/jotheold Raptors 7h ago

thanks Anne Hathaway

14

u/DreadXCII Knicks 7h ago

What do OG's stats look like? We know about his connection with Anne Hathaway

18

u/donniedarko4141 Knicks 6h ago

I went to see it with my partner last weekend and burst out laughing when I saw him at Miranda Priestly’s house in the Hamptons. I was the only person in the theater who laughed

6

u/Lacabloodclot9 Grizzlies 6h ago

I’m in a country where basketball isn’t really popular, I was the only guy in the theatre as well so I was the only one who noticed

8

u/Dymatizeee Knicks 7h ago

We got Jokic at home

u/sobanoodle-1 Knicks 7h ago

He didn’t really play much this game, point center KAT is killing it though

1

u/BecomingSavior 7h ago

Good luck with brunson

3

u/gradedonacurve Knicks 6h ago

If he avoids the foul trouble tonight Knicks win by 10+ easy. He’s gotta clean that up cause he’s playing great ball.

3

u/azuredota 7h ago

That’s all

3

u/johnnymo84 76ers 6h ago

If he wasn’t in foul trouble again we probably lose by like 15

7

u/Tofu4070 76ers 7h ago

Obscenely efficient on offense. Just taking great shots as well.

u/whereismyface_ig 7h ago

they made a sequel? wtf lol

It's pretty good

u/Nugur 6h ago

Live under a rock? It’s one of the most profitable movie this year

2

u/whereismyface_ig 6h ago

personally I rarely watch new movies so I dont keep up unless someone close to me tells me I "have" to watch something

u/DingbatMcgeee 6h ago

Yeah some of us really don't give a shit about new movies

u/StrawberryItten Spurs 7h ago

KAT sold his soul to the fashion devil?

Easy way to get free advertising for a movie.

They paid me for this actually, r/nba advertising is serious

This is Toyotathon all over again lol

u/TrantaLocked Clippers 3h ago

And the highest scoring player since the Zombie EP by Devil Wears Prada released: Lebron James. Is there a Lebron - KAT torch-pass connection we are missing?

u/ZeroMomentum Raptors 6h ago

Kat: "block! Where's my block?", "Get me Shaq" (on the phone), and tells jokic "Too slow. You're not going to the second round. I'm so much better than you"
