I’m sorry y’all, but as a real, true, authentic New Yorker…
I just can’t get with this Mamdani grift.
One year you’re naming Tom Thibodeau when asked to name a current Knick.
The next year you’re giving a Knicks championship speech like you’ve been living and breathing Knicks basketball your entire life.
And to be fair, it was a good speech.
He’s a talented speaker.
He’s a great orator.
But that’s exactly why I’m skeptical.
Because the most effective politicians know how to make themselves feel familiar.
They learn what people care about. They learn the language. They learn the culture.
And then they wrap themselves in it.
Maybe I’m wrong.
Maybe Zohran Mamdani has been the biggest Knicks fan in New York this entire time.
But as a real, true, authentic New Yorker, something about this doesn’t feel organic to me.
It feels manufactured. It feels calculated. It feels like branding.
Watch the clips and judge for yourself.
@stoolpresidente 100%. He was asked the other day if Wemby had surpassed Trey Young in villian status and his response was he didnt know trey......hes just reading a speech. People are dumb to not see throught his fake smile.
I don’t get why people are impressed by a guy who is good at reading other people’s speeches. He’s a professional actor. People slobbering all over Mandami. I get that politicians always try to make sports about them and use it to their advantage so I guess you can’t blame Mandami for hogging the spotlight. But dude couldn’t name 1 player besides Brunson when asked during a debate last year. Now he’s a super fan? I think it speaks to how inauthentic he is and how dumb people are who slurp it up. That’s just me though
Even the Bus driver on duty decided to pull over & get JIGGY!
New York Knicks have brought back the energy to this city. Hopefully he doesn’t lose his job 😂
