San Antonio’s in the spotlight as the Spurs take on the New York\u00a0Knicks<\/a> 27 years after their historic match up that led to the Alamo City’s first of five NBA Championships.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And while Game 2 is also set for San Antonio this Friday, New York looms on the horizon. Game 3 on Monday, June 8 and Game 4 on Wednesday, June 10 are set for Madison Square Garden and at least one\u00a0Knicks fan is already up to no good.\u00a0<\/p>\n

New York City Mayor and everyone’s favorite Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani took to X on Wednesday to invite\u00a0Wemby to a newly announced commission hearing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I’m pleased to invite @Wemby to our second Commission on Government Efficiency hearing on Wednesday June 10th 5-8pm, where we’ll be asking the public for their thoughts on how government can run better. Would love to have you there for the whole time!”<\/p>\n

The commission was announced at the end of May,<\/a> with the goal of providing “better support public excellence by improving efficiency, modernizing city government and ensuring government keeps pace with New Yorkers\u2019 needs.”<\/p>\n

Though Mamdani’s cheeky X post doesn’t mention whether he’ll be at Game 4 next Wednesday, we could see him on screen during pre-game programming. Mamdani’s San Antonio counterpart sat with\u00a0Shaquille O’Neal, Charles Barkley, Kenny “The Jet” Smith and Ernie Johnson on NBA Tip-Off ahead of Game 1.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mayor Jones used her five minutes effectively, defending the River Walk, taking a few jabs at Barkley, teasing a wager with Mamdani, and serving up some churros. You can watch the full clip below.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wemby will be too busy channeling his inner Shaolin monk or picking up chess games at Washington Square Park ahead of next Wednesday’s game, but maybe next time, Mamdani.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"San Antonio’s in the spotlight as the Spurs take on the New York\u00a0Knicks 27 years after their historic…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":254780,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[97390,97389,29598,9,24,55,54,56],"class_list":["post-254779","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-city","tag-mysasports","tag-mysaspurs","tag-mysastaff","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-city-headlines","tag-new-york-city-news","tag-ny"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254779","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=254779"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254779\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/254780"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=254779"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=254779"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=254779"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
