New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and Texas Senator Ted Cruz have placed a friendly wager on their states’ NBA Finals matchup between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs. Cruz proposed that if the Knicks win, Gillibrand’s team would receive Texas BBQ, beer, and ice cream, while he would wear a Spurs jersey if the Spurs prevail. Gillibrand agreed, offering to treat Cruz and his staff to pizza if the Knicks lose. This amiable exchange contrasts with the rival state banter, particularly between Texas Governor Greg Abbott and New York Governor Kathy Hochul.
