New York City mayor Bill de Blasio's latest foray into the world of sports commentary took another cringeworthy turn by calling out Hawks guard Trae Young for torching the Knicks in Game 1.
Last week, the mayor conducted a press conference decked out in a Nets jersey and hat, which drew the Twitter ire of New Yorkers and NBA fans, alike. On Tuesday, de Blasio donned a Knicks hat and announced Madison Square Garden as a vaccination site, before making what he called "an important, official announcement."
“Message to Trae Young, on behalf of the people of New York City and anyone who cares about actually playing basketball the right way: Stop hunting for fouls, Trae," de Blasio said.
