Jose Alvarado collides with Mike Bloomberg courtside at Knicks game

sportsJun 9, 2026304,084

Jose Alvarado ran out of bounds chasing a loose ball and landed on former New York City mayor Mike Bloomberg courtside at the Knicks game. Bloomberg was seated near the baseline when Alvarado collided with him and tumbled into the courtside area. Both men rose quickly and play resumed, with Alvarado returning to the floor after a brief pause. The incident matters because Bloomberg is a high-profile courtside regular and the collision highlighted how on-court intensity can carry into spectator seating.

Mike Bloomberg incensed that his 75 year Lou Gehrig streak of not touching or being touched by a person of color streak has ended

This is why you gotta tax the billionaires much higher. They’re fundamentally aloof to culture and human decency. The money stays in their honey pots doesn’t go out for development and you get rancid nepo babies like Ellison. They lost touch with what America is a long time ago.

Keep sports out of politics

Alvarado, the Queens native. No doubt Bloomberg was his childhood Mayor.

Senior citizens shouldn’t be allowed to sit front row no matter how rich they are. It’s too dangerous.

I really thought when Jose Alvarado crash-landed on Mike Bloomberg, that was gonna turn things around. Next game Mitchell Robinson has to crush Giuliani's skull.

I'm not watching the game (the way I get through life is to opt out of whole broad categories of things to enjoy or pay attention to), but I clicked the Mike Bloomberg trending topic and lost my shit scrolling through everyone's reactions.
