In only 19 minutes, Mamu scored a career-high 34 points on 13-14 shooting and 7-7 from three.

Flavor Flav was the forward’s loudest supporter as he joined Mamu on the court, crashing his post-game interview.

“My man is on fire,” Flavor Flav yelled during the on-court interview.

Mamu spoke on his long-standing relationship with Flavor Flav, a bond he’d made through a mutual financial advisor.

Flavor Flav attended Mamu’s first summer league game and has supported the Spurs forward since then.

“I’m super happy he’s here,” Mamu said. “We had a two-on-two yesterday with my brother. We lost the first game, he got mad, and I had to lock in. Since yesterday I’ve been locked in.”

The Spurs won with 120-105 points against the Knicks at the home game.
