Mayor Bloomberg attended Thursday's Knicks game - and may have unwittingly contributed to New York's victory.
Mayor Bloomberg's hunger may have helped the Knicks.
Bloomberg was sitting courtside at Thursday's Knicks-Spurs game when he evidently decided to order a box of popcorn.
As the waitress bent down near Hizzoner, Spurs forward Stephen Jackson took a shot, stepped backward and tripped over the waitress, spraining his ankle.
The Knicks, down 17-14 at the time of Jackson's injury, won the game 100-83.
Bloomberg also appeared on last night's episode of "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon," making fun of the host's scruffy look while discussing his turn with the Rockettes on New Year's Eve.

Mayor Bloomberg kicks his leg on New Year's Eve with the Rockettes.
"I couldn't get my leg as high up as they could," Hizzoner said, describing a photo showing his high-kicking moves alongside the dancers.
"We should have CGI'd that," Fallon responded.
Bloomberg also discussed his gun control platform with Fallon - a fitting topic, given the nighttime gunfire that later injured three police officers.
"There's just too many guns in the world, and certainly in this country, we've gotta do something about it," he said.
