OG Anunoby became a Mets fan and a Jose Reyes fan because of MLB 2K8 that featured Reyes on the cover:
"I used to do franchise mode with him, steal a bunch of bases, win World Series"
OG Anunoby reveals he grew up collecting baseball cards and is a big New York Mets fan 🔥
"He listed Carlos Delgado as one of his favorites to watch... He also liked José Reyes, Pedro Martínez and, essentially, the entire Mets roster of the late 2000s."

It was the first Finals game in play by play era when one team had 24+ free throws in 2nd half and the other had 8 or fewer. (There were 9 other games with a free throw discrepancy of 16+ in 2nd half in that span including 16-0 for Nuggets vs Heat in Game 1 2023)

Someone purchased TWO seats on StubHub for....
$279,804!
I have confirmed the sale.
