Curtis Sliwa supports Mamdani against Knicks owner James Dolan

Curtis Sliwa, the former Republican mayoral candidate, voiced support for New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani in his dispute with Knicks owner James Dolan. The tension escalated after Mamdani announced a watch party outside Madison Square Garden for Game 4 of the NBA Finals. Previous plans for a Game 3 watch party had to be canceled due to security issues. Dolan was criticized for limiting attendance to 1,000 fans and ultimately canceling the event. Sliwa condemned Dolan's actions, labeling him unpopular among New Yorkers and suggesting he would hold Dolan accountable for property taxes. The public feud highlights growing tensions between the mayor's office and the Knicks organization.
