OG Anunoby is an NBA champion. That will never be taken away from him, even if the history books don’t tell the whole story. As a second-year forward with the Toronto Raptors, the up-and-coming Anunoby played a big role primarily off the bench for Canada’s team as it earned 58 wins and the No. 2 seed during the regular season. Right before the playoffs, however, Anunoby underwent an emergency appendectomy, forcing him to miss the entire playoff run that culminated in the Raptors winning their first championship. “Of course I wanted to play,” Anunoby told The Athletic. “I wish I played, but I also learned a lot.”
