\nIn a rather atypical start to the day at City Hall, New York City Mayor Eric Adams faces allegations including bribery, wire fraud, and accepting contributions from foreign nationals. Amidst this turmoil, Deputy Mayor Phil Banks remains singularly focused on a completely different topic: the New York Knicks.\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nIn an interview with NY1\u2019s Kelly Mena, which was intended to cover topics other than basketball, Banks passionately voiced his opinions on everything Knicks-related.\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nWhat follows is an extraordinary display of dedication to discussing only the Knicks.\n<\/p>\n

\nThis level of unwavering focus on just the Knicks is something we might not see again until the team begins their season impressively enough to shift national conversations from football to basketball. And that\u2019s saying something, considering Banks covered quite a lot in his discussion.\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nRegardless of your opinions on this strategy, it\u2019s clear it was intentional. Sometime between the breaking news last night and this morning’s workday, everyone connected to the mayor had to devise a strategy to navigate through what was bound to be a challenging day. Banks decided to focus solely on the Knicks, and he stuck to that plan firmly.\n<\/p>\n
