Wall Street Journal: “New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, wearing a Knicks jersey, a baseball cap and mask, slipped into Brooklyn’s Barclays Center in March to watch his favorite basketball team take on the Nets.”
“Unlike past mayors, he didn’t sit courtside at the game or end up on the Jumbotron. Instead he cheered on the Knicks with his friends in the nosebleeds, barely recognized by other attendees.”
“In recent weeks, the mayor has still sat in the cheap seats but has also assumed a more prominent role as cheerleader-in-chief, using his political perch to root for the team as it marched toward a spot in the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs.”
