Trump, Mamdani, and the Knicks Finals Fever Taking Over New York

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dive into the Knicks’ NBA Finals buzz and the unexpected political sideshow surrounding it, from Donald Trump’s possible Garden appearance to Mayor Mamdani’s surprisingly measured response. The conversation captures how Knicks fever has taken over New York and why this run feels bigger than basketball. The guys also revisit a year old debate about whether the Knicks’ 2025 Celtics series would stand the test of time after their painful loss to Indiana. With the Knicks now in the Finals, Evan, Tiki, and the crew reassess which Jalen Brunson era playoff series truly matter most and how this team’s rise has changed the way fans remember the journey.
