The New York Knicks have long attracted celebrity supporters at Madison Square Garden, especially during the franchise’s recent resurgence. But with the team now in the NBA Finals, even more high-profile guests could be present courtside — including the President of the United States.
Donald Trump recently suggested that he may attend one of the Knicks’ Finals games. During his second term, Trump has already appeared at several major sporting events, including the Super Bowl, the Daytona 500, the US Open men’s final and a New York Yankees game.
Trump revealed that Knicks owner James Dolan had invited him to attend a possible Eastern Conference Finals Game 5 in New York. However, because the Knicks completed a sweep, the game was never played.
Speaking during a cabinet meeting, Trump praised the team’s performances and hinted strongly that he plans to attend a Finals matchup.
He stated that the Knicks have been outstanding this season and described James Dolan as a great person who is enjoying a successful year with the organization. Trump also said he had received invitations from multiple people and expressed happiness at seeing the franchise thriving again after years of struggles.
The Knicks are scheduled to host Games 3 and 4 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden on June 8 and June 10. Although nothing has been officially confirmed yet, Trump’s attendance would potentially make history, as he could become the first sitting U.S. president to attend an NBA Finals game in person.
