Danhausen Demands Parade Balloon as Knicks Take 2-0 NBA Finals Lead

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 7

Danhausen used the Knicks’ 2-0 NBA Finals lead to press Mayor Zohran Mamdani for a championship-parade tribute, including a giant floating balloon that drops pizza and hot dogs.
The WWE wrestler posted the demands on X after Friday night’s win, also asking that Oscar the Grouch get an apartment, framing the requests as payment for having “uncursed” New York.
That running gimmick has spread beyond basketball: Danhausen recently appeared on the video board before Carolina’s 5-4 double-overtime loss to Vegas in Stanley Cup Final Game 3, with the Golden Knights now up 2-1.
He has also said the New York Mets remain under his “curse,” extending a tongue-in-cheek storyline that has followed multiple teams across the sports world.
