Episode 499: A New Blue and Orange Era in NYC

The New York Knickerbockers will come into Madison Square Garden Monday night for the first NBA finals game at Madison Square Garden this millennium having last lost a basketball game 46 days ago. That’s roughly four times as long as peak Lin-sanity and full four Scaramuccis. Hosts Christina Greer, Katie Honan and Harry Siegel talk about the city’s blue and orange tinged euphoria, the orange man who’s attending game three and much more, starting with Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s effort to tap into the city’s basketball excitement while spending some of his political capital on behalf of his slate of Congressional candidates challenging the Democratic establishment.
