The New York Knicks seem to have found the perfect formula for success this season and stars are stepping up across the court. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite losing their nine-game unbeaten run in a 117-107 defeat to an Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a> side who sit top of the Western Conference<\/a> with a 19-5 record, the Knicks are still having a strong season. <\/p>\n

Karl-Anthony Towns is well on his way to a potential MVP win<\/a> and while he is getting many of the plaudits the Knicks have made some really strong trades<\/a> in recent years which are paying fruit. <\/p>\n

The Knicks recently created NBA history<\/a> with their shared scoring efforts and one man has caught the eye of former NBA star Kendrick Perkins. <\/p>\n

OG Anunoby likened to Scottie Pippen<\/h2>\n

While Anunoby may not be a name that instantly comes to mind when you think of the stars of the NBA, he’s certainly valued by Knicks<\/a> fans. <\/p>\n

The 27-year-old who joined in a trade from the\u00a0Toronto Raptors<\/a>\u00a0in December 2023 recently dropped a career-best night<\/a> of 40 points against the Denver Nuggets<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The London-born baller scored another 20 points while adding 2 rebounds and 3 assists in the defeat over the Thunder and Kendrick Perkins paid the star some high praise. <\/p>\n

Tweeting out to his followers on X, Perkins said: “OG been looking like 2025 Scottie Pippen.”<\/p>\n

It’s certainly not bad to be likened to a six-time NBA Champion who also finished his career with over 18,000 points. <\/p>\n

Anunoby having wide impact on Knicks <\/h2>\n

Anunoby is dropping some of the best numbers of his NBA career this season with the Knicks and it’s not just his points-scoring that is impressing onlookers. <\/p>\n

The former Raptors man has recorded at least 20 points in back-to-back games and has reached the 18-point plateau in three consecutive outings – it’s safe to say his shooting slump is in the rearview. <\/p>\n
