Kyle Kuzma, a former NBA forward who played alongside Deni Avdija, publicly attacked New York City Mayor Eric Adams over his call to arrest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Kuzma called Adams 'a mayor playing president' and accused him of social media politics. He sharply criticized the 'as if' culture in modern politics, where posturing and soundbites replace real action. Kuzma said: 'Everyone is auditioning, the pose is the product. No one is building.' His words echo domestic criticism in New York that Adams should focus on local issues like crime, sanitation, and housing costs instead of trying to manage international crises.
