New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has invited San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama to a city government hearing on June 10, the same day as Game 4 of the NBA Finals. The hearing is scheduled from 5-8 pm, while the game is set to begin later that evening.
Mamdani's invitation was seen as a playful attempt to keep one of the NBA's biggest stars occupied before a crucial Finals matchup. Wembanyama's interests and reputation as one of the NBA's talented players made him the perfect subject for Mamdani's joke.
The mayor has been a visible supporter of the Knicks during their playoff run, regularly posting about the team on social media and embracing the excitement surrounding New York's return to the NBA Finals.
