Mayor Mamdani might have delivered the Knicks victory, but the work isn't done yet: here's the one simple trick. Vote early and vote often, and before you do that, knock doors and/or phone bank!…
We had a like huge Knicks parade.
I guess they're in our lifetime championship.
And so it was a big deal.
And I think it bodes very well for Mayor Mamdani and his entire political project, even though he's not directly responsible for the Knicks' historic win.
His fandom and his wonderful leadership in promoting public events, I think, was really good for the city.
Yeah, and it feels like he's responsible for it.
There's this feeling this year that things are going well in New York, despite what might be happening in the rest of the country.

He's in it.
And that's why also the celebration has been so much more fun.
Like, I remember waiting in line for the exclusive special limited edition World Cup jerseys that they made.
I don't care about soccer.
