Summary
Whoopi Goldberg told "The View" audience and co-host Sunny Hostin that the Knicks' 115-111 Game 3 loss was on the team, not on Donald Trump for attending at Madison Square Garden.
Goldberg said Trump's visit snarled traffic and security around the arena, but argued blaming him gave him too much power and let players avoid responsibility for not playing their best.
Sunny Hostin still said Trump brought "bad juju" and "bad karma" to New York, while Alyssa Farah Griffin said any president attending during a winning streak risks being blamed if it ends.
The loss came in the Knicks' first home NBA Finals game since 1999 after they opened with two road wins over the San Antonio Spurs; Trump attended as a longtime fan invited by owner James Dolan.
