Knicks owner Dolan throws shade on Mamdani after mayor’s longwinded speech: ‘I don’t need your vote’

Knicks owner James Dolan appeared to throw shade on Mayor Zohran Mamdani when he told revelers “I don’t need your vote” right after Hizzoner pumped out a speech heavy on Knicks history and their playoff run.

“I don’t need your vote, I don’t need to quote to you, right, about what happened,” Dolan said, “cause if you’re real Knicks fans, you know it already.”

Dolan’s remarks came after Mamdani mentioned dozens of former Knicks and ran back some of the most memorable memories in the franchise’s history, including giving shout outs to random former players like Jared Jeffries and Renaldo Balkman.

He also highlighted some of the most incredible moments from the team’s postseason run.

The mayor and team owner were at odds during the Knicks’ magical playoff run after the city slapped restrictions around Madison Square Garden for part of the NBA Finals.

Dolan even accused Mamdani of not being a Knick fan during the ongoing beef.

Mamdani was installed to do to NYC what Sadiq Khan has done to London.

Now they're supposed to visit the White House. Maybe just the owner...

I immediately liked Jalen Brunson when a reporter threw him a gotcha question about Texas and his quick reply was about missing the tax rates (no state )taxes.

Just another in the long list of dumb mistakes The Dallas Mavericks have made over the years.

I'm betting most, if not all of the players, will make that visit.

How would Mamdani know anything about the Knicks history? What a douchebag.

We'll find out soon but it'll be a surprise if they make the visit.
