Anne Hathaway told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that she would give up a second Oscar for another New York Knicks championship. The choice was presented as a card game called “Best Thing Ever,” where Fallon held cards labeled “Another Oscar Win” and “Another Knicks Championship.” Hathaway placed the Oscar card down, prompting applause from the Studio 6B audience.
Fallon then presented Hathaway with a signed Knicks jersey from forward OG Anunoby, which she exclaimed “Are you serious? Oh my god!” The Knicks had just secured their first title in 53 years by beating the Spurs in the 2026 NBA Finals.
Hathaway, who is pregnant, also received a basket of baby gifts from the team, including a card signed by Anunoby. Earlier in the show, she recalled considering wearing an Anunoby jersey to signal her support, a sentiment she expressed during an April appearance.
