## Resource

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dig into the debate surrounding Mamdani’s Knicks fandom after his standout parade speech, questioning whether a polished moment at City Hall proves he is a true diehard or just a politician who knew how to meet the moment. The conversation expands into the massive Knicks championship parade itself, with callers sharing stories of packed streets, closed viewing areas and fans getting turned away. Evan and Tiki debate whether the Canyon of Heroes can still handle a celebration of this size, while weighing tradition against the reality of a once in a lifetime Knicks crowd.
