Trump to attend NBA Finals Game 3 at Madison Square Garden
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.
was trying to decide if i’d rather have courtside seats at an nba finals game or courtside seats to watch trump’s name pried off the kennedy center and ngl i’m a little torn
There’ll be NBA Finals next year. This is the only chance to see Trump’s name removed from someplace it should never have been.
You can run up and get a selfie with the workers at the Kennedy Center without getting a lifetime ban
What if we had the game at The Kennedy Center?
Well, NBA finals happen every year. How many times will we get to watch Trump's name come down while he's still alive to know it's happening?
Consider: NBA finals happen every year....
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.
That night there will be A LOT OF BOOING at MSG
Come on New Yorkers. Boo the fucker out of the building
The owners of professional sports teams are multi-millionaires or billionaires they don't give a shit about us.
Trump will be booed & cursed out of the building. Fuck the rat bastard. 8647
I thought he needed a billions of dollar bunker to be safe? 🙄
What's this? A white multi-millionaire boss is cozying up to fascists? I'm shocked 😐
This is NEW YORK, baby!!! They will BOO that f@t 🍊 POS into oblivion!!!! Don't EVEN be nice about it!!! Shame on anyone supporting his "appearance". He deserves no respect after what he and his sycophants have done to this country.
Gd! This fucker ruins EVERYthing! He has zero interest in basketball!
He won't be 'thrilled' to have 🌮massively booed🙄
Looking forward to hearing the boos!
BOO the 💩 out of him
Orange guy is addicted to boos. 😁
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.
Don't let Trump in the damn door
The US will be thrilled to hear NY BOO loudly and continuously at Fat Satan. Shame that monster, NBA fans!
On Monday, Trump will attend NBA finals game at Madison Square Garden
I really want Obama to sit court-side at that game so we can hear the different reactions
lol I’m sure that will go down well
I hope he gets the welcome he deserves
I wonder if he's going to feel safe from an assassination attempt since it's not in the ballroom
Ffs hope it gets booed so loud he fills his depends
MSG will thunder under all the boos. Can’t wait
You know what to do Madison Square Garden!
They better not pull the audio back.
Again, just to screw up the whole event.
I'm very surprised. Cannot imagine he will not get booed unmercifully. Is trump really that tone deaf and narcissistic?
Hope everyone else planning to attend shows up 4 hours early, because security is going to be insane. It’ll probably end up delaying Tip Off
Of course he will be. Because nobody wants him there and he has absolutely nothing to do 🙄
Isn't that a bit past grampie demento's bedtime? They'll have to double up his dementia meds so they can keep him looking as normal as possible I guess
New Yorkers, you know what to do. Don’t let us down…
