President Trump has indicated he plans to go to one of the upcoming NBA Finals games after his hometown New York Knicks made the championship series for the first time since 1999.
“I was invited to. I was going to go on Wednesday, but they closed it out very quickly. They’re great, and Jim Dolan’s a great guy — he’s as you know, owns and in charge of Madison Square Garden. He’s having a good year,” Trump said during a cabinet meeting.

Great to see it. The Knicks have really, they’ve really suffered for years and they’re doing right now very well.”
Trump also confirmed to reporters he was invited to attend Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals, which would have been played tonight had the Knicks not swept the Cleveland Cavaliers in four straight games
