Cease-and-desist: New York Knicks read Mamdani the riot act for implicating affiliation
The New York Knicks have unleashed the riot act on Zohran Mamdani.
The NBA basketball team is not with him. They are not supporting him. And they may be taking him to court.
“The Knicks want to make it clear that we do not endorse Mr. Mamdani for Mayor…We will pursue all legal remedies to enforce our rights”

A report at Fox News explains Mamdani’s campaign, he’s running for New York mayor, has been using a logo similar to the team’s.
“The NY Knicks have sent NYC Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a cease-and-desist letter for using the NY Knicks logo to promote his candidacy. The Knicks want to make it clear that we do not endorse Mr. Mamdani for Mayor, and we object to his use of our copyrighted logo. We will pursue all legal remedies to enforce our rights,” the team stated.
The report explained Mamdani posted the logo on social media, claiming, “This is our year. This is our time. #NewYorkForever.”
The image, later deleted, was of Madison Square Garden.
The report said Mamdani is the favorite in the political race, even though as a member of the Democratic Socialists of America his platform is filled with boilerplate communism, such as his idea of “seizing the means of production.”
He’s also for government housing, government-run grocery stores, government control of land, and prompted a comment from President Donald Trump with his agenda.
