Trump to attend NBA Finals Game 3 at Madison Square Garden

sportsJun 5, 2026401,151

President Donald Trump accepted Knicks owner James Dolan's invitation and will attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden in New York, the NBA said. Trump said he will be there to root for his hometown New York Knicks, and the league says his appearance would make him the first sitting president to attend an NBA Finals game. Game 1 of the series featured a huge performance from Karl-Anthony Towns, WHO cited his late mother as inspiration. His attendance matters because a presidential presence at Madison Square Garden will bring heightened security, media attention, and national focus to the Knicks' home game.

Adam Silver is "thrilled" to host Trump at the Finals? Spare us. It’s a gutless move that proves the NBA cares more about cozying up to power than the values they claim to stand for. Disgraceful.

Basketball is in my DNA. My oldest works for the NBA, and my youngest is grinding in The Nike Elite Youth Basketball League (EYBL) the absolute peak of high school ball. That’s why Adam Silver’s recent comments have me absolutely livid.

Hope the fans at the finals make both Adam Silver and Donald Trump regret ever thinking about going to that game.

Silver showing his true self. Dolan extended the invite. He’s a true POS who lucked out with Brunson, a great player.

I hope the assignment for spectators is a given. Everyone should video the moment then send it to social media promptly.
