MAGA Knicks owner trolled by NYC's Zohran Mamdani in rousing championship speech

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani trolled Knicks owner James Dolan during the team's championship celebration.

The Knicks won their first title Saturday since 1973, and the city held a parade for a team that has already been hailed as the greatest in New York's long and storied sports history, and Mamdani lauded past players and fans who suffered through the championship drought together.

For 53 long years, we have watched the Knicks, we have waited," the mayor said. "We waited as the memory of Willis Reed winning thechampionship on one leg grew fainter and fainter.We waited as 'Clyde' [Walt Frazier] came up clutch again and again.As John Starks dunked on [Michael] Jordan and Patrick Ewingdunked on the Pacers.As Bernard King scored 60."

Mamdani then named a Knicks legend who's been embroiled in a years-long feud with Dolan, who angered fans by inviting President Donald Trump to Game 3 – the only game they lost in the playoffs – and forced thousands to wait in hours-long security lines and disrupted traffic around Madison Square Garden.

"As Charles Oakley pulled every rebound withinreach," Mamdani said, as Dolan looks on, "and Spike [Lee] got in Reggie Miller's face.As Aaron Houston put up a shot against Miami thathung in the air for an eternity.As Larry Johnson gave us the four-point play heardaround New York.As 'Starbury' [Stephon Marbury] traded threes with Kobe [Bryant] and then soldsneakers every kid could afford. As Nate Robinsonstuffed Yao Ming. As the city came alive, watching Linsanity [Jeremy Lin]?And Carmelo [Anthon] lived every Brooklyn kid's dreams when hecame home and made MSG feel like the center of the universeonce again."

"We waited without ever knowing if this day wouldcome, and we waited because we knew deep down inour sick, suffering hearts that it would," Mamdani added. "New York City, this team has done it.The New York Knicks are NBA champions."
