Kyle Kuzma Mocks NYC Mayor Mamdani Over Netanyahu Arrest Video as NBA Voices Split

Summary
Kyle Kuzma called Zohran Mamdani a "mayor playing president," saying the New York City mayor was chasing performative content rather than governing after Mamdani posted a video demanding Benjamin Netanyahu's arrest.
That video invoked an International Criminal Court warrant ahead of the U.N. General Assembly, even though Mamdani later acknowledged New York City has no legal authority to arrest a visiting foreign leader.
NBA reaction has split: Kyrie Irving and Victor Wembanyama liked Mamdani's Instagram post accusing Netanyahu of genocide, while Kuzma publicly derided the mayor's intervention.
Mamdani's Israel rhetoric has already drawn criticism from Jewish groups and political opponents, who argue he should focus on crime, sanitation and housing instead of foreign-policy fights.
