AEW star Eddie Kingston said his Knicks celebration after OG Anunoby’s game-winning shot led him to get cops called by neighbors. Kingston, from Yonkers, watched the Knicks win the NBA title after a 29-point comeback in Game 4, beating the Spurs 107-106 and fi
By the time OG Anunoby’s shot landed and the Knicks moved to the win column, Eddie Kingston already knew how loud he was going to get.
The AEW wrestler from Yonkers. New York. watched New York capture the NBA Championship last week. a Finals run that saw the Knicks dominate the San Antonio Spurs and win the series 4-1. Game 4 was the moment that turned the story into something almost impossible: the Knicks rallied from 29 points down. and Anunoby’s tip-in game-winner sealed it 107-106.
But Kingston’s celebration didn’t stay confined to the screen.
During his recent virtual signing for Highspots, Kingston described his immediate reaction to Anunoby’s game-winner. “OG Anunoby!. Oh man. My neighbours called the cops on me after OG hit that shot to win the game for the Knicks. because I was screaming and yelling. and I threw a bunch of stuff in the house. ” Kingston shared.
Kingston’s love for the team is rooted in where he’s from. He said he was overjoyed watching his home team finally return glory to New York after 53 years, but the night turned sour quickly once neighbors got involved.
The Knicks’ Game 4 comeback has a clear place in this year’s Finals memory. and Kingston placed himself right inside it—right up to the point where his house became a concern for people nearby. While he said he was not directly involved with the Knicks. the story is a reminder that championship nights don’t just end on the scoreboard.
There’s another twist to the fandom around this title as well: WWE’s Danhausen was directly involved with the Knicks, with it “highly believed” that his uncursing played a role in New York’s win.
For Kingston, though, the connection is simpler and more personal. A home-team moment turned into an out-of-control celebration, and by the time the cheers faded, the police had already been called.

People really call cops over sports yelling? smh.
So he threw stuff in the house and neighbors called the police… but it’s because the Knicks won?? Like yes celebrate but cmon. Also 29 point comeback sounds fake every time I hear it.
Wait I thought OG hit a game winner and then that’s when the cops showed up? Like I’m confused, was it actually that night or just neighbors being dramatic. And if he’s in Yonkers maybe the cops were already around? Not sure but throwing stuff is wild.
This Danhausen un-cursing thing is probably the real reason the Knicks won lol. But Eddie Kingston screaming and then cops get called feels like a typical “celebrity fan” story. I mean, 53 years finally and then neighbors ruin it, sure. Still though, if you’re gonna lose your mind at least don’t be throwing stuff around your house.
