OG Anunoby touts UK basketball expansion and launches exclusive Skechers shoes at NBA Finals

London‑born New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby said the sport’s foundation in the United Kingdom is solid and that basketball will “grow more and more” as investment in youth development and infrastructure increases. He highlighted a 15% rise in youth participation, the national teams’ recent successes and the impact of the NBA’s global initiatives, urging schools to adopt the game more widely.

During the NBA Finals, Anunoby unveiled two player‑exclusive Skechers Basketball sneakers – the SKX Reign “Foreman” and the SKX Nexus “NYC Blue”. He praised the partnership, saying “In less than a year, Skechers has shown me what a true partnership looks like,” and described the shoe debut as a “surreal moment” that signals the brand’s growing presence in professional basketball.
