"The team is great with me. They really put me in the right conditions to perform. Even during Ramadan, they help me a lot with everything: room service at 4 a.m.-everything you need in terms of nutrients."
"During the season opener at MSG, Madani, before his eventual election, aired a campaign advertisement using a modified Knicks logo with 'Zohran' replacing the team name. The Knicks responded with a cease-and-desist letter and the incident drew national attention when President Donald Trump shared a decorated version of the logo before deleting it."
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and 20-year-old New York Knicks rookie Mohamed Diawara broke their Ramadan fast together at Keur Yayeu Dara, a Senegalese restaurant in Harlem, followed by basketball at Marcus Garvey Park. Diawara has been vocal about observing Ramadan during his NBA career, praising the Knicks organization for providing supportive conditions including early morning room service and nutritional assistance. This outing occurred despite earlier conflict between Mamdani and the Knicks, when Mamdani's campaign used a modified team logo during the season opener at Madison Square Garden, prompting a cease-and-desist letter from the organization.
