Trump to Attend Knicks-Spurs NBA Finals Game 3, Potentially Becoming First Sitting President at Finals

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 3

Summary

  • June 8 could put Donald Trump at Madison Square Garden for Knicks-Spurs Game 3, according to a source familiar with the plans confirmed by OutKick.
  • That appearance would be historic beyond New York’s 27-year wait for a home Finals game: Trump would become the first sitting U.S. president to attend an NBA Finals game if he goes.
  • James Dolan was among those who invited Trump, who said last week he expected to attend a Finals game after New York’s four-game sweep of Cleveland erased the need for a planned East finals Game 5 visit.
  • The visit would extend Trump’s string of appearances at major sports events since returning to the White House, including the Super Bowl, Daytona 500, UFC cards and the U.S. Open men’s final.
