Mase stated, “I’m just so glad that they didn’t have Trump come back,” referring to the disruption caused by the president’s attendance. “It just messed the vibe up, and having the arena back like it was gonna be before he came was really, really exciting to see, and I hope they keep it that way moving forward.”
Co-host Treasure “Stat Baby” Wilson mentioned that Taylor Swift attended Game 4 at MSG, leading Cam’ron to express his disdain for bandwagon fans. “Nothing turns me off more than a follower. I can’t stand it. I hate it. I really, really hate it,” he ranted before revealing he blocked multiple people for calling him about the Knicks for the first time after they overcame the largest deficit in NBA Finals history on June 10. “Taylor Swift, what are you doing there? You’re not even from New York, and you’re jumping around. I hate people like that.”
Adding, “I smile and give you a handshake and still be your friend, but in the back of my brain, I’m like, ‘I have no respect for you. You’re a follower and me and you, we’re not the same kind. So, be careful trying to act like, ‘Hey, Cam, you seen the Knicks?’ Yeah. Congrats to the real Knicks fans. You’re a follower. You’re a Swifty.”
However, the pop singer has actually been a fan of the team for about 20 years. Knicks radio analyst Monica McNutt was reminded of this when she found herself in hot water with Swifties after a hot mic caught her questioning Swift’s fandom as well. “She’s not a Knicks fan. Get out of here, girl,” she scoffed while her co-host Tyler Murray tried to capture an image of Taylor Swift sitting courtside. To her credit, she later took to social media to admit that she was wrong.
