Summary

  • Etan Thomas used X to urge Knicks fans to give Donald Trump a loud, hostile reception if he appears at Madison Square Garden for Game 3 on June 8.
  • The former Wizards forward framed it as the “proper greeting” Trump deserves, ending his post with “#booooo” to make the message unmistakable.
  • Trump is reportedly planning to attend Monday’s home Finals game against the San Antonio Spurs, a visit that could turn crowd reaction into a major subplot before tipoff.
  • Madison Square Garden’s first Knicks home Finals game in decades is already one of the city’s biggest sports events, and Thomas’s post adds a political flashpoint to the series atmosphere.
