纽约市市长佐兰·马姆达尼 (Zohran Mamdani) 希望全市市民都能观看纽约尼克斯队的总决赛,无论比赛进行到多晚,也无论观众年龄几何。
每场总决赛都将在美东时间晚上8点30分准时开打,这对于第二天还要上学的孩子们来说意味着要熬夜。因此,在周一,马姆达尼在办公室里被一群小朋友簇拥着,童心大发地签署了一项行政命令,宣布在总决赛期间取消孩子们的就寝时间限制。
“作为市长,你不得不做出许多艰难的抉择,”马姆达尼在推特上宣布这一行政令时写道,“但这一个显然不难。尼克斯加油!”

这份行政令采用了非正式的 Comic Sans 字体,部分内容写道:
“鉴于所有年龄段的纽约市民支持尼克斯队的夺冠征程至关重要,且鉴于就寝时间不应阻碍纽约最可爱的小市民们为尼克斯队加油助威,并见证这一历史性总决赛的每一秒。”
该政令在最后声明,此规定将立即生效,“直至尼克斯队结束——并有望赢下——这次历史性的总决赛征程,否则绝不失效。”
它的左侧还配有几幅手绘插图。
尼克斯与圣安东尼奥马刺 (San Antonio Spurs) 的总决赛首战将于周三在圣安东尼奥鸣哨开球。如果系列赛以4比0横扫结束,该政令将在10天后的6月10日失效。如果双方战至抢七,第七场决战将定于6月19日进行,这意味着孩子们将有近三周的时间可以名正言顺地熬夜到深夜。
这是尼克斯自1999年以来首次闯入NBA总决赛,马姆达尼一直致力于为当地市民提供最大的观赛便利。此前,他宣布在全市范围内举办多场户外观赛派对,力求让更多普通市民也能感受到现场集体观赛的狂热氛围,而不仅局限于那些买得起麦迪逊广场花园 (Madison Square Garden) 天价门票的富裕阶层。
目前,二级票务平台 Stubhub 上纽约主场第三战最便宜的“山顶票”(高层看台票)售价已高达4643美元。随着斯派克·李 (Spike Lee)、本·斯蒂勒 (Ben Stiller) 等尼克斯明星死忠粉纷纷到场,准备见证纽约本世纪首次冲击总冠军,整座城市的狂热气氛已然拉满。毕竟,这支球队已经整整53年无缘总冠军,因此每个人都在翘首以盼,渴望亲眼见证这段可能诞生的历史。
如今,马姆达尼正努力确保即便是年纪最小的尼克斯球迷,也能尽情享受总决赛的每一分每一秒——哪怕比赛被拖入加时。

Zohran Mamdani repeals New York kids’ bedtimes during Knicks’ NBA Finals run

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani wants everyone in the city to watch the Knicks play in the NBA Finals, no matter how late the games are, or the viewer’s age.
Each finals game will start at 8:30 p.m. ET, which could lead to late nights for youngsters with school the next day. So, on Monday, while surrounded in his office by many young children, Mamdani playfully signed an executive order repealing bedtimes for kids for the duration of the league’s championship series.
“As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions,” Mamdani wrote on Twitter while announcing his executive order. “This was not one of them. Go Knicks.”

The order, written in an unofficial Comic Sans font, read in part:
“WHEREAS it is important for all New Yorkers of all ages to support the Knicks in their championship run and WHEREAS bedtimes should not impede the ability of New York’s cutest to cheer for the Knicks and watch every second of this historic championship series.”
The order finishes by stating that it will take effect immediately and “shall not expire until the Knicks complete — and hopefully win — this historic championship run.”
It also features several hand-painted illustrations along the left side.
Game 1 between the Knicks and San Antonio Spurs is set to tip off Wednesday in San Antonio. Should the series end in 4 games, the ruling would expire after 10 days on June 10. Should the series go the distance, Game 7 is set for June 19, which would give kids a little under three weeks to stay up into the wee hours of the night.
Mamdani has been outspoken in his efforts to maximize accessibility for locals during the Knicks’ first NBA Finals appearance since 1999. He previously announced watch parties around the city in an effort to bring the excitement of an in-person group experience to more people than just those who can afford the exorbitant ticket prices to attend games at Madison Square Garden.
Stubhub currently has the cheapest nosebleed ticket for Game 3 in New York listed at $4,643. The excitement around the city has been palpable as celebrity Knicks superfans Spike Lee, Ben Stiller and others get to watch New York’s first crack at a championship this century. The franchise hasn’t actually won a title in 53 years, so everyone will be straining to get a good view of potential history in the making.
Now, Mandami is trying to ensure even the youngest of Knicks fans can enjoy every second of the NBA Finals, even if there’s a little overtime.
