Summary
Stephen A. Smith said on his radio show that Donald Trump should stay away from Monday’s NBA Finals Game 3 at Madison Square Garden, arguing the president’s presence would add to an already chaotic night.
Game 3 marks the Knicks’ first NBA Finals home game in 27 years, with New York riding a 12-game playoff winning streak and leading the Spurs 1-0.
Trump is still expected to attend, according to a source familiar with the plans, after he said last week he would likely go to one of the games.
Adam Silver welcomed the prospect this week, saying he was thrilled that Trump — “very much a New Yorker” — wanted to join the excitement around the Knicks’ run.
