Gov. Kathy Hochul tried to dunk on President Trump over his New York Knicks fandom — but ended up throwing up a brick instead.

The Democratic governor inadvertently showed she wasn’t exactly bleeding orange and blue when she misstated the team’s most recent championship in an embarrassing self-own when a reporter asked her what she thought of the GOP leader saying he was a lifelong Knicks fan.

ages “I’d ask him to name the starting lineup from the 1993 championship team and see how he does,” Hochul said at an unrelated press conference in the Big Apple.

Her answer was totally coached and she couldn’t even remember the correct year, because she’s always drunk and slurring her words.

And I'm not even a Knicks fan (Celtics).

They also had Phil Jackson.

And Dick Barnett, who wrote the book I read when I first started to play basketball as a kid.

"They also had Phil Jackson."

He was one goofy-looking dude. Great off the bench, though.

Just remember, Hochul, the dumb-ass was appointed to Governor when Cuomo had to resign over his sexual harassment misdeeds, so then she got to run as an incumbent. An incumbency she never earned. She really shouldn't be governor in the first place.

Hochul also said black people didn’t know how to use a laptop.

Whatever is ever said, Michael Jordan is the damned best PLAYER the NBA has ever seen. Maybe not top scorer, most assists, rebounds, championships, I think Russell may hold that (?), but he is still the best I have seen in my 70+ years of watching the danged NBA. Wilt, Lew Alcindo/Kareem Jabarr, Magic, LeBron, Larry Bird, I have seen them all play. From the 1960s Boston teams, till now. Michael is the best.

She thinks Trump is ignorant of baseball stats? Does she know ...

“Donald Trump was reportedly scouted by the Philadelphia Phillies and the Boston Red Sox as a high school baseball player.”

He probably pays attention.
