Former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg was almost knocked over by a Knicks player diving for a ball at the NBA Finals game on Monday night.
While sitting court-side, Bloomberg, 84, was bowled into by Knicks guard Jose Alvarado as the player dove into the crowd. The former mayor flung back in his seat underneath the player, and the crowd gasped.
Bloomberg looked shocked as Alvarado lifted himself off of the mayor and quickly checked on him.
Bloomberg's team did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
He served as mayor from 2002 to 2013, being elected shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks in Manhattan.
Other politicians were in the stands Monday night, including President Donald Trump and Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Stars including Tina Fey, Ben Stiller and Spike Lee were also in attendance.
