Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian did not hold back from celebrating the monumental comeback made by the New York Knicks against the San Antonio Spurs in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. The co-founder of Reddit had to post a story on his social media with utter disbelief as the Knicks, with all their might, managed to erase a 29-point deficit and take home the victory to make history.
The New York Knicks took on the San Antonio Spurs at a packed Madison Square Garden and looked on course for a dismal loss in Game 4 on June 10. The Spurs ended the first quarter with a 41-22 lead, and continued their onslaught by extending the score to 76-49 at halftime.
The Knicks, however, soared back and had Jalen Brunson come to the rescue with his startling floater, which he made with just 1 minute 22 seconds left, giving the Knicks their first lead.
Then, OG Anunoby, jumped in with 1.2 seconds left, and with Brunson’s missed shot bouncing off, he grabbed the ball and put it back into the hoop to complete the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history. With this, the Knicks defeated the Spurs 107-106, and took a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series.
This moment of sporting history is now being celebrated all over, where fans, including Alexis Ohanian, took to social media to share their stunned reactions. Ohanian posted a story that captured the bird’s-eye view of the winning moment and included a mind-blown emoji.
As the Knicks lead 3-1, they are just one win away from their first NBA championship in 53 years.

Alexis Ohanian has been vocal about the profound legacy that has been left behind by his wife Serena Williams. During an interview with ESPN, when asked about how she and her sister Venus have inspired him to continue working to amplify women’s sports, Ohanian said:
“I always have to give Serena and Venus their flowers because they proved the business viability of women’s professional sports.”
“No one doubts for a second that women’s professional tennis is as valuable as men’s professional tennis, and that is the one story in sports where you see the kind of excellence,” he said (3:12).
