The Knicks have called out New York mayor Mamdani for being a major “party pooper” as they have again cancelled watch parties outside MSG even though Trump won’t be in attendance tonight.

Jeremy Lin reveals he tried to reject the Rockets' $29,000,000 offer and would have taken significantly less to stay with the Knicks
“I was crushed and my agent is telling me, ‘Be prepared that they won't match.’ And I'm like, ‘There's no way. There's no way. I got to go back to New York’”
“They could have offered me three years, $9 million, but there wasn't even that offer on the table. And when the Rockets offer came in, the first question I asked my agent is, ‘Are the Knicks going to match this?’”
“I was like, ‘Can you go back to the Rockets and tell them we won't accept this offer? We only want a lower offer.’ I tried to take less. I was trying to sabotage the Rockets offer.”
“I remember it vividly. I call my agent back and I'm like, ‘Okay, the offer came through. No, we have to get a less lucrative offer because I got to go back to New York’”
“Finally I'm like, ‘Can we just not accept their offer?’ And he's like, ‘No, we can't not accept their offer because the Knicks refuse to give us any offer. You have zero offers on the table. You have one offer and you have to accept it and leave it to the Knicks to match or not’”
“It was kind of difficult to see that people thought I willingly left the Knicks or did it for the money or whatever. I would have played for significantly less if that meant staying with the Knicks because my heart was always here”
MSG calls Mayor Mamdani’s permit plan for watch parties ‘disingenuous at best’ and say he’s turning the streets around MSG ‘into a police state.’
“He can't blame it on the President. He is not coming to Game 4 and there is no reason to create a police state around The Garden."
We know you are excited to cheer on the Knicks tonight, and we are too, but we want everyone to be safe.
Starting at 4pm, we will have the same secure zone around MSG as we had on Monday. Everyone will be screened.
Get there early and leave the bags at home.
