Mandani’s Championship Parade Speech Edit
This doesn’t even include the most banger line from the speech:
And who are New Yorkers if not people who hear those odds and smile. Who look at a 0.4% chance of success and ask “why are you giving me a head start?”
Mamdani is quite the linguist.
Made one of the most known and revered cities in the entire world sound like underdogs đ
NYC so up right now đ
Thereâs millions of broke ass people who live next to the millionaires and billionaires in nyc and do feel like underdogs are everyday. Thatâs who the speech is for
I get it but before Brunson’s squad the Knicks were so ass lol so the Knicks were definitely underdogs
Indeed he’s a very cunning linguist.
A future POTUS
He canât run for president.
Republicans counting their blessings for that one.
If Trump runs ignores the constitution and runs for a third term, then all bets are off. Fuck it.
Yes. And it will be up to the people to decide what theyâre gonna do about it.
A homegrown felon shouldnât be president but here we are. Mamdani is a better representative of what an American should be than most Americans.
Agreed. đ¤đź
Oklahoma education ranks 48th, but on the subject of ways to legally keep brown folks down, theyâre top tier
And the point of your comment is�
Fr bro thought he cooked lol
Do you think he can win against B-Rabbit in a rap battle?
B Rabbit got nothing on Young Cardamom
Now snap back to reality, look it’s B. Rabbit, yo you signed me up to battle, I’m a grown man!
cunning linguist
We also gotta give credit to whoever wrote the speech.
damn thats cold as hell
Itâs really good to hear a good orator. Nothing stirs human emotions like a great speech.
The hardest bar: why are you giving me a head start?
Mamdani*

*Mamdaddy
Mandingo.
Love getting Cameron Brink references in the wild
M-A-M-D-A-N-I
It is in that .4% that the spurs go to sleep and let their 200M veteran PG make dumbass mistakes and combined with a 7ft center who gets the ball from the 3 pt arch cost them the series… but the pundits in NY and lame ass politician… will have you believe it was the never die attitude and spirit of the city when it was the Spurs coaching staff that sat on their collective ass and failed to make the necessary adjustments to put these blowout wins away…. Insert inspirational NY anthem playlist .. biggest choke job I’ve ever seen in NBA history
lol the levels of being a salty ass hater required to watch that series and think the knicks played no role in the spurs choking is actually impressive
The Spurs had too many points when they played at MSG. Supreme Leader Mansalami passed decree in NYC stating if one team earns too many points, they must distribute the points evenly to the other team and experience the warm embrace of fairness and collectivism. The decree doesnât apply to the Jets or Giants as they play in NJ and not subject to NYC law.
This edit aside, that was a pretty good speech from the Mayor. Whoever prepared that speech did a job well done.
His mayoral victory speech banged too
As a former speechwriter, I can tell you that itâs pretty unusual for a politician to rely exclusively on staff for things like this. Especially at any level below the Presidency.
When a politician routinely delivers excellent speeches, itâs because they themselves have a knack for the writing and they surround themselves with a couple people who can supplement their own work.
He might not touch a speech announcing a new water treatment plant, but heâs gonna be all over this one.
close friend was a speech writer for the Clinton and Obama admins and they always were given something to work with. Sometimes they would do a lot of editing/writing, and sometimes it was just light punch ups, but the orator almost always had a some level of input in the speech they were giving.
Yup. A couple of the Pod Save America bros were Obama’s writers and they consistently talk about how involved Obama was in the writing of his speeches. Also, you can write an absolute banger of a speech but if you don’t have a talenter orator, it’s going to fall flat no matter what.
Probably very different in the current admin.
His speech writers are straight up spitting fire all year long.
He’s an exceptional mayor already. But the city has serious needs (housing, groceries) and none of his plans seem like they’ll make a dent in that.
He’s already the best mayor of the past 30 years
Lmao. Bro said âweâre just going to stop paying our bills and steal everyoneâs pension moneyâ and called it a balanced budget and here come the sycophants singing his praises
It’s sad that you know how to use the internet, apparently can retain information, but won’t take 2 minutes to verify you are full of shit.
DAMN you coulda just burned him but instead you roasted
I mean it’s true he isn’t “stealing” pension money, but he didn’t exactly pay it either. He kicked the can down for the next mayor to figure out
Kinda deceitful shit this site would be all over Trump for
300 Billion to IranâŚ
Your president just lost a war yet youâre still in here whining about unfairly fucking Reddit treats him.
Mamdani is Donald Trump father
He is paying it. There’s no cuts to payouts and checks arrive on time. He extended the overall timeline to pay this particular debt.
Under the NYS constitution, accrued public pension benefits are strictly guaranteed and cannot be diminished or impaired, btw. This change does not alter or decrease the actual money owed to city workers.. PERIOD.
Kinda deceitful shit
It’s not deceitful at all as he told exactly what he would do and it’s doing it exactly as he said… what is deceitful is the people and republican narrative portraying it as something it’s not.
You can like it or criticize it, that’s fair, but keep in mind… what the fuck do you want him to do? City was broke, he inherited a fiscal mess that was even crazier than anyone knew… to no fault of his own… and he needs to start fixing shit somehow. Rolling this particular can downhill is an option.
Trump is ACTUALLY stealing money from people through a bunch of crazy loopholes, not to mention all the corruption, and wars he caused and lost, and lies, and fucking up the economy, and the fact he raped kids with his buddy Epstein… so ZM has a long way to go before I compare them.
Mashed potato take.
Mashed potato for brains*
This the same dude that said the Hawks was going to beat the Knicks
This guy is allowed to vote, jfc. Join us in reality buddy
tbf this is probably a child
Man i wish. It’s so easy for adults to have cognitive dissonance about something they could put effort to learn about instead in the modern age. When an algorithm detects biases in a certain viewpoint it notices engagement and feeds more affirming content. Whether real, distorted, twisted, lies. It simply reinforces and shapes the viewpoint. Most people, understandably we all got lives and bills to focus on for the most part, aren’t spending their time digging into the weeds. I don’t expect an average Joe to learn about proposed policy, effective actions, and the consequences of bills/decisions made in attempting to fit a policy. They regurgitate what they hear, regardless of reality.
I’m guilty of it too and I have nothing but praise for Mamdani. In reality I should spend time digging through his community grocery store policy, housing reforms, tax on 2nd homes, increased demand from state budget to ny, etc to have an opinion based on results and reality. So what will average Joe really do?
My god could you be sniveling any harder right now? Even. In your echo chamber of hyper left extremists you canât help but soapbox
Mamdani is a terrible person and Iâll enjoy visiting your inbox in a few years when heâs ruined NYC
âOh gosh heh heh heh oh my I read all his policy and gee whiz dude is just amazingâ
OhnoanIdiot
Your post history is so funny. Miserable ass.
Back at you lil bro. All that lolicon and furry fetish material lmao
Nice try mate, projection at its finest. Good luck with your eventual divorce!
You really thought you could hide all that shit đđ
if he actually had writers for this, it hit the spot for a lot of Knicks fans especially with a lot of the names he mentioned would only be known by those that were watching the team through the good and bad… I do think he had some ad libs here and there as a Knicks fan himself….
I closed my eyes and Iâm hearing CM Punkâs voice
I hear max kellerman
MF Doom
He talks like punk, Hopefully he not punching his co workers
First off, he choked a coworker, and only a little bit. Second, he had it coming
fuck phil
“had it coming”
Aka Perry poked back at Punk after Punk potentially spread false rumors about Perry to his favourite dirtsheet writer, and Punk can dish it out but can’t take it back so he had to fight Perry over it.
But hey, Punk won in the end. He’s back in WWE like he wanted the whole time, thriving, and most importantly benefitting from that sweet, sweet blood soaked Saudi money.
Itâs called a joke, brother. Take men play fighting in their underwear less serious
“It’s called a joke”
Fuck you. Stand on what you said.
Sad existence getting that mad over a wrestler lmao
I’m not “getting mad.” I’m providing more context to what you said and then providing my opinion on the matter. You know, the same exact thing you did with the person you replied to.
You said fuck you to some rando on the internet who cracked a joke. Youâre absolutely mad and should feel ashamed lol
What can I say, I hate when people give their misinformed opinion on something, are corrected, and then say “dawg I was just joking lol.”
AEW is about to be owned by Paramount so hopefully Jack Perry enjoys his blood money as well.
And if AEW does events in Saudi Arabia then sure, I’ll absolutely throw it right back at AEW.
But Punk’s is a bit more egregious given his previous comments about WWE’s relationship with Saudi Arabia not even a few months before he went back to them. Then again Punk basically did a 180 on most of the stuff he said about WWE in that time frame.
It’s not solely about doing events in Saudi Arabia, Saudi is a major financial backer in the Warner Bros Discover purchase. If you’re going to critique others for benefitting from ‘sweet, sweet blood soaked Saudi money’, be ready to critique everyone.
Lol no. That’s not how that works and that’s not the point of the criticism
There is a massive fucking degree of difference between being partially owned by a conglomerate who does other business and is backed by a bunch of different financial interests which includes Saudi Arabia, and directly doing business with Saudi Arabia and having events there.
You’re also missing the point as it directly applies to CM Punk who has previously criticized the relationship between WWE and KSA. Obviously it sucks that the relationship exists to begin with, but it’s not like i’m criticizing Cody Rhodes or Roman Reigns or whoever else for wrestling in Saudi Arabia and working for WWE while they have that business relationship, because Cody and Roman don’t claim to have principles that they stand on.
That other guy is right, you are pressed. Hopefully AEW can scrounge up some interest from some broadcaster unaffiliated with Saudi so your brain doesn’t have further trouble carrying its cognitive dissonance any more than its already prompting itself to.
Motherfucker I literally explained to you how it’s different. But just like the other poster you don’t care so you’re just fucking off when you’re shown to be wrong.
Holy shit Mamdani with the fire promo
The mayor of Chicago
Fuck the Knicks….
…but damn this is a banger of a speech. Hope this goes everywhere
You know, this is the type of language that used to (and can still be) spoken about we Americans, in general. I love that Mamdani is bringing this sort of rhetoric back and hope that it can not only become more a trend, but also that people (we Americans) start believing it and living it again.
now go do the whole speech. this thing brought teats in my eyes and im not even from newyork. im not even american
Chills. Hell of a speech.
Got Petty Dolan all worked up too.
goosebumps
I have a powerlifting meet tomorrow and Iâm listening this as I get ready for bed. Iâm ready to run through a wall
Do you do the helicopter helicopter?
I was expecting to see some Renaldo Balkman highlights so I am disappointed
Why doesn’t anyone understand statistics man
care to elaborate? :D
You mean probability? lol kinda ironic
Martin Luther King of ball
Why are we putting this god awful music over his speech
And then making it 5x louder than the speech
how can i turn down the speech, i couldnt hear enough of the music? đ¤
god awful?? That song is goated
It was goated until I moved to New York. Now it just makes me think of times square and how dogshit that part of town is loool
Transplants love it. The chorus doesn’t even make sense.
It’s fine, it’s just too loud
god you lack culture
yeah he lacks culture cause he doesn’t fuck with a pop song. lmao
He may not be eligible to run for president. But DAMN Mayor Mamdani pull off a great speech.
Itâs better the regular way. But Iâm not big on âeditâ culture.
Daaaammn this bro is the truth
No one talking about how .4 is a direct dig at the Spurs, possibly. Derek Fisher hit that miracle shot over the Spurs with .4 seconds on the buzzer
That was good
My MAN…dani
Damn, that speech would have me run through any barrier!
That was a pretty good edit. I do agree the music is mixed in too loud, but it’s otherwise pretty decent. And I say this as an old school Bulls fan since 1990 who did root for the Spurs in this series.
I really sat up in my chair when Kat the 3 in fell into the spurs bench
Wish the speech was louder than the music, the music kind of ruins the impact of the speech.
This is up there with the NBA Christmas commercial edit as an all-timer. Wow.
nice edit.
Dude is a rockstar politician but I canât stop myself from picturing max kellerman practicing this same speech in front of his bathroom mirror at 3am
Political opportunism at it’s best
Thank you Dolan and Leon Rose for finally bringing us a championship team to NY!
Not to be a Debbie downer, it’s a great speech and a great edit. But framing New York as a place of underdogs in a historic or cultural sense is bananas. New York is New York because over history is has been the most significant, most populated, most culturally impactful, richest, most beloved and most famous place in the US. Having said that I do look forward to watching more of this team and hearing some more of Mandani’s speeches
I rip on him because it is easy but this speech will forever live in Knicks lore
The whole ânobody believed in us but we persevered anywayâ shtick kind of rings hollow when youâre arguably the wealthiest and most important city in the world
I mean I think its a trope but bro what do you think new york is 100% stock brokers? There are an absolute shitload of people working multiple jobs to barely scrape by here. Considering his politics you can kind of assume he is addressing an imagined new yorker that isn’t a multimillionaire, and i mean duh that is the vast majority of the inhabitants of the city
I think the intended sentiment is âNew York does the impossibleâ not âno one believes in usâ
Absolutely legendary speech. But this is a franchise with the money and fame of LA. This isnât an underdog. Donât even paint them that way. They were just good at failing with their privileges. Failing to draft well despite having the money for the best scouts in the world. Failed to use their cityâs legendary status as an incentive to get free agents. Failed to make good trades while having the money to overpay, they overpaid the wrong people. Failed to maintain their history as a legendary sports franchise by treating former players like garbage. Failed to use their infinite pile of money to higher top tier managers and instead opt for guys that Dolan likes or knows cause heâs more concerned about his play thing making him happy instead of the fans.
This ainât on the players. Or the fans. This is on Dolan and management. It shouldnât have taken 50+ years. This is a celebration of âwow your mommy and daddy paid for college and despite dropping out multiple times you finally graduated!â Whoop deee fuckin dooo.
Sorry Knicks fans. Enjoy it.
Reddit acting like Mamdani should have taken home finals MVP.
That’s my MVP
cringe af, and i live in nyc lmao
lmao no one cares
Hey North Korea, I mean New York, how about hearing from the the team instead of your supreme leader?
Lol because socialism! Like north korea!
lol yeah man we were all clamoring to force the most drunk/hangover athletes in the world right now to give long speeches
You really don’t think it’s interesting how you say “force” like that’s the go to move? Remember freedom?
LMAO seek help man, you’re having a mental breakdown
Mmm classic liberal response nowadays.
Facts donât care about your feelings bro lol
And apparently you don’t care about facts.
