Trump Teases Attending NBA Finals Game in New York City
Trump said he expects to attend one of the games as the Knicks return to the NBA Finals for the first time in 27 years.
- President Donald Trump is considering attending the NBA Finals next week at Madison Square Garden, according to a New York Times report by Zolan Kanno-Youngs and Tyler Pager, with three sources confirming the consideration.
- The Knicks clinched the Eastern Conference title Monday with a dominant 130-93 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers, ending their 27-year championship drought and advancing to the Finals for the first time since 1999.
- Trump declared on WABC's TalkRadio 77 that he remains a Knicks fan and has eagerly followed the team. Knicks owner James Dolan and Trump are old friends; Dolan donated to the president's political campaigns and married at Mar-a-Lago in 2018.
- If confirmed, Trump's appearance would mark the first time a sitting U.S. president attended an NBA Finals game, though a presidential visit would require extensive security coordination across federal, state, and city agencies in Midtown Manhattan.
- The NBA Finals begin June 3 with the Knicks awaiting their opponent from the tied Western Conference Finals between Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs. Courtside seating at Madison Square Garden has reached record pricing levels, reflecting Trump's established pattern of integrating major sporting events into his presidency.
