Mamdani&#8217;s San Antonio counterpart sat with\u00a0Shaquille O&#8217;Neal, Charles Barkley, Kenny &#8220;The Jet&#8221; Smith and Ernie Johnson on NBA Tip-Off ahead of Game 1.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mayor Jones used her five minutes effectively, defending the River Walk, taking a few jabs at Barkley, teasing a wager with Mamdani, and serving up some churros. You can watch the full clip below.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Wemby will be too busy channeling his inner Shaolin monk or picking up chess games at Washington Square Park ahead of next Wednesday&#8217;s game, but maybe next time, Mamdani.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"San Antonio&#8217;s in the spotlight as the Spurs take on the New York\u00a0Knicks 27 years after their historic&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":842893,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5133],"tags":[5229,337588,329099,37065,7202,7203,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":["post-842892","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-america","tag-mysasports","tag-mysaspurs","tag-mysastaff","tag-san-antonio","tag-sanantonio","tag-texas","tag-tx","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/842892","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=842892"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/842892\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/842893"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=842892"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=842892"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=842892"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
