Zohran Mamdani faced a wave of online ridicule after posting a selfie from Game 2 at Madison Square Garden, where the Knicks beat Cleveland to take a 2-0 series lead.
Commenters on social media used the post to vent broader frustration with the mayor, turning what appeared to be a playoff photo-op into a backlash over his standing with some New Yorkers.
The report noted Mamdani sat in upper-level seats rather than a box or courtside, though those tickets were described as still costing close to $1,000.
The episode lands as the Knicks chase their first NBA title since 1973 and their first conference finals series win since 1999, amplifying attention on every high-profile appearance around the team.
