Milwaukee Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma criticized New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani over his comments on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling him “a mayor playing president.”

“This is 2026. People cosplaying as things they don’t have the authority, the talent, or the track record to actually be. Just for content. A mayor playing president. A founder playing operator. A content creator playing one-on-one thinking he’s a pro. A 25yr old with a ring light playing economist. Everyone auditioning. Nobody building,” Kuzma wrote on X.
