A fan heckled Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams during a pregame speech at a New York Knicks game on Monday.

Adams’ speech commemorated "the life and times" of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at the traditional Martin Luther King Day matinee game at the Madison Square Garden. The audience appeared to have mixed reactions to the new sitting mayor’s address, and one attendee could be heard shouting "shut the f*ck up" as Adams recited his speech.

"Thank you, New York. As we honor the life and times of Dr. King during some of the most difficult moments. When the civil rights battle was on the line, Dr. King wanted the ball in his hand and he gave his life to ensure that our country would be a better place for all of us."

"Shut the f*ck up!" an anonymous voice shouted.

"Right now, we want the ball in our hand again as we deal with COVID, as we deal with crime, as we deal with uncertainty," the mayor continued. "Let's win this for Team New York and Team America. Let's take the ball and have the final goal."
