Mamdani signs order ‘repealing bedtimes’ so kids can watch Knicks in NBA Finals

The order lets children watch the Knicks’ 8:30 p.m. ET Finals games as the team chases its first NBA title since 1973.

  • On Monday, Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani signed an executive order repealing bedtimes in New York City during the NBA Finals, allowing students to watch the New York Knicks compete for the championship.
  • With each NBA Finals game tipping off at 8:30 p.m. ET, the mayor sought to remove obstacles for young fans. Mamdani wrote on X, "This was not one of them," referring to difficult mayoral decisions.
  • At City Hall, Mamdani finalized the order alongside a group of students who 'signed' the document with their handprints. The text declares bedtimes should not impede "New York's Cutest" from cheering for their team.
  • The executive order also includes lyrics from a popular 1993 team anthem, "Go New York Go New York Go," reflecting the city's excitement for the Knicks' first championship run since 1999.
  • New York faces the San Antonio Spurs beginning Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. ET on ABC 7, as the team seeks its first championship since 1973. Game 1 and 2 will be hosted in San Antonio before the series shifts to New York.
