NBA star Kyle Kuzma says Mamdani is 'a mayor playing president'
NBA player Kyle Kuzma faced criticism for a post interpreted as calling Mayor Zohran Mamdani 'a mayor playing president,' as Mamdani's video garnered over 80 million views.
- On Sunday, July 26, 2026, Milwaukee Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma reshared a viral video by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, appearing to mock the mayor by writing, "A mayor playing president."
- In the video, Mamdani alleged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is responsible for the death of "more than 73,000 people" and urged the federal government to enforce an International Criminal Court warrant.
- Critics swiftly accused Kuzma of targeting the wrong person, while others questioned whether the polished, thread-like post reflected his authentic voice or used ChatGPT instead.
- The incident follows a series of provocative posts from the 25-year-old athlete, including a recent dispute where he told fellow players to stop complaining that "40M after taxes is still 40M."
- Observers are debating whether Kuzma's recent pivot toward tech-focused commentary reflects a deliberate public relations rebrand or a genuine shift in his interests.
