Trump could be first president to attend an NBA final
US President Donald Trump announced he plans to attend a New York Knicks NBA finals game at Madison Square Garden.
Trump announced this following a question from a reporter during a press conference in the White House cabinet room.
The President, who is a lifelong Knicks fan, said he was going to attend the first game but couldn’t receive tickets and went on to praise the team.
He said, “I was invited. I was going to go on Wednesday, but they closed it out very quickly. They’re great, and Jim Dolan’s a great guy. As you know, he owns and is in charge of Madison Square Garden. He’s having a good year. Boy, what a team. They win all their games. They have some great players. I think I’ll be going to one of the games. I was invited by numerous people, and by Jim, and I think I’ll be going. It’s great to see you. The Knicks have really suffered for years.”
