The basketball used during the final seconds of the New York Knicks’ historic Game 4 victory in the 2026 NBA Finals is now available to the public. Sotheby’s officially listed the game-used ball, a moment-defining artifact from the play dubbed “The Hand of OG,” which secured a pivotal win against the San Antonio Spurs.
The auction follows a 2026 NBA Finals series defined by the Knicks’ record-breaking comeback. In Game 4, New York erased a 29-point deficit before OG Anunoby tipped in a missed three-pointer by Jalen Brunson with just 1.2 seconds remaining on the clock. That play finalized a 107-106 score, pushing the Knicks to a 3-1 series lead and, ultimately, their first championship in 53 years, as verified by recent coverage of the series progression.
The play has drawn comparisons to historic league moments, specifically the 1976 “Shot Heard ‘Round the World.” Collectors have aggressively targeted memorabilia related to the event; his 2025 Panini Immaculate Collection Logoman 1-of-1 autograph recently sold for $8,000, illustrating how the game-winning sequence moved his professional valuation significantly among specialized sports investors.
The 2026 Finals performance cemented Anunoby’s role in the championship roster. His statistical output during the series consistently placed him in the conversation for Finals MVP, according to reports detailing his individual impact during the Knicks’ post-season run.
