President Trump said he plans to attend an NBA Finals game after the New York Knicks reached the championship series for the first time since 1999.
He said he was invited to attend a game at Madison Square Garden but had to cancel his initial Wednesday plans because the schedule closed out quickly. The Knicks defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference finals to advance to the NBA Finals. They’ll face either the San Antonio Spurs or the Oklahoma City Thunder, with some games taking place at Madison Square Garden. Dolan, who Trump described as “a great guy,” has been instrumental in the team’s turnaround. The Knicks’ return to the Finals marks a significant moment for the franchise after decades of disappointment.
