NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdanisays he's down to watch the Knicks in the NBA Finals, but don't expect to see him sitting courtside with President Trump... that's IF the commander-in-chief shows up at Madison Square Garden.
Jacob caught up with Mamdani Thursday in Queens, and asked him about Trump saying he plans to attend a Finals game after being invited by Knicks owner James Dolan.

Good friend award goes to WWE Superstar Gunther ... who shelled out $1,000 to get his fellow wrestler friend Ludwig Kaiser out of jail following his battery arrest.
TMZ Sports has obtained Kaiser's bond information sheet following his recent run-in with the law in Florida ... and it turns out the guy who came through for him was Walter Hahn, Gunther's real name.
Gunther wrote two $500 checks to pay the fee ... meaning he'll be making damn sure Kaiser -- real name Marcel Barthel -- will show up to his court date next month so his dough doesn't go to waste.
As we previously reported, Kaiser was accused of whooping his neighbor's ass for complaining about a wild make-out session between the wrestler and his girlfriend in an elevator on April 23.
The neighbor, according to a police report, told the two to "have some manners" ... which apparently set Kaiser off and resulted in the physical altercation.
He was booked for battery and later released ... thanks to Gunther.
Kaiser has since returned to the wrestling ring as El Grande Americano at an event in Mexico City.
