Trump said at a Cabinet meeting he expects to attend an NBA Finals game next week as the Knicks reach their first Finals in nearly 30 years.
Hochul responded by challenging him to name the starting lineup of the "1993 Championship team," but the Knicks did not win the NBA title in 1993 — the Bulls did.
The remark left her open to criticism that she misstated basic Knicks history; the franchise's last championship was in 1973, and its last Finals trip before this run was in 1999.
The exchange turned a sports moment into a political one as Trump prepares for a possible appearance at Madison Square Garden during New York's playoff surge.
