New York Mayor Bill de Blasio interrupted his classic press conference to talk about the NBA, and more specifically Trae Young. He has a message for the young American player from the Atlanta Hawks, with the New York Knicks cap screwed on his head: “Stop looking for the fouls Trae, I’m going to quote Steve Nash, who was a great player and a great coach, he said “this is not basketball”. The hawk (referring to the Atlanta players’ nickname) isn’t going to fly to New York, so come on, play the game right, see if you can win, I think next game we’ll teach you a lesson. “
The New York Knicks lost the first game of the playoff series to the Atlanta Hawks at home 107-105, with a decisive final basket from Trae Young. The two teams will face off for Game 2 again on the Knicks’ floor Thursday at 1:30 a.m.
