Hochul’s LeBron Tax Joke Backfires | New York Knicks News

Governor Hochul’s office tried to one-up LeBron James with a cheeky tax jab—calling his potential NYC pied-à-terre “LePied-a-Terre”—but the move backfired when it turned out the tax only applies to second homes, not primary residences. The stunt came after reports LeBron might commute from Philly to play for the Sixers, sparking Knicks fan drama. It’s not the first time Hochul’s office’s wit has stumbled—she once asked Trump to name the 1993 Knicks champs, forgetting they hadn’t won since 1973. Sometimes, trying too hard to be clever just looks awkward, especially when sports and taxes collide. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
