However, from being one of the most uninteresting teams in the league, to one of the most anticipated and fun groups to watch heading into next season, the turnaround for the Wizards can't be overlooked.

Hochul on Sunday endorsed Mamdani in the November mayoral race, claiming to have found common ground with the democratic socialist, including on the issue of affordability. But Mamdani on Monday declined to return the favor, and did not pledge his backing of Hochul's re-election bid next year - at least for the time being.

Piker has been hailed as "the left's answer to Joe Rogan," a charismatic Gen Z streamer who broadcasts nearly every waking hour and who has 4.5 million viewers across Twitch and YouTube.

I interviewed for the Knicks. I did. It was the same interview that everybody else [had] that was in their candidate pool. Same thing.
