Summary
Zohran Mamdani reignited his feud with Trae Young on CNN, saying “I’m not sure who that other guy is” when asked if Victor Wembanyama had replaced Young as New York’s top basketball villain.
The jab revived a running spat between the New York mayor and Young, who traded blame earlier over the high cost of Knicks playoff tickets at Madison Square Garden.
Young’s villain status in New York dates to 2021, when he averaged 29.2 points and led Atlanta past the Knicks in five games, punctuating Game 1 with a crowd-silencing gesture at MSG.
The exchange comes as the Knicks prepare a 10 a.m. Thursday ticker-tape parade through Manhattan after beating the Spurs in five games for the franchise’s first NBA title since 1973.
