Previously, she humorously shared with Entertainment Tonight that a Knicks championship would bring positive changes to New York, joking that "the rats will disappear, trees will start growing, potholes will be filled," and even "the Statue of Liberty is going to finally walk." The Knicks' victory marks their first NBA Finals appearance at Madison Square Garden since 1999. Despite losing Game 3 to the Spurs 115-111, the Knicks managed to clinch the series, securing their long-awaited title.
Cardi B's enthusiasm and support for the Knicks have been evident throughout their playoff run. Her recent collaboration with Mayor Zohran Mamdani to support a musical contest for free childcare in the city further highlights her love for New York. As the city celebrates this historic win, Cardi B's presence and performance have undoubtedly added to the joyous atmosphere.
