Stiller reacted to the news that Anunoby's game ball was pulled from an auction 30 minutes before it was set to begin. He called it a "smart move" and said that the Knicks should "Display it at the Garden forever."
The Knicks received the game ball after it was initially acquired by Sotheby's. They were originally going to hold an auction for it. However, it is not clear what will happen to it.

Had Anunoby's game ball hit the auction, it would've likely garnered a really high number. It is the ball that he tipped in to secure the Knicks' win in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

They were down by as much as 29 points in that game. However, they slowly chipped away at the lead. Jalen Brunson took a deep three-pointer over Victor Wembanyama , but it missed. Anunoby, who inbounded the ball, came out of nowhere to tip the ball through the net.
Game 4 of the NBA Finals gave the Knicks a commanding 3-1 lead in the series. They would close out the series in the following game, winning the franchise's first title since 1973.
Stiller was at all of the Knicks' NBA Finals games. He has been recording footage for an upcoming documentary about the team on his phone.
He is one of the team's biggest celebrity fans. For years, he has been coming to games. Finally, the wait paid off, as he got to witness the Knicks' first championship in 53 years. He was also featured on a float during the team's championship parade, which was held on Thursday, June 18.
