President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he is likely to attend a New York Knicks game during the NBA Finals, marking the first time a sitting president has attended the championship series. Trump, a New York native, revealed he was invited by Knicks owner James Dolan, who also owns the New York Rangers and Madison Square Garden. 'I think I’ll be going to one of the games,' Trump told reporters during a White House Cabinet meeting. 'Yeah, I was invited by numerous people and [Dolan].' The Knicks, who last appeared in the NBA Finals in 1999, advanced to this year’s Finals after sweeping the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference finals. They will face the winner of the Western Conference finals, where the Oklahoma City Thunder currently lead the San Antonio Spurs 3-2. Trump praised the Knicks, calling them 'a great team' and noting their 11-game playoff winning streak. The president has attended multiple high-profile sports events during his second term, including the Super Bowl, the Club World Cup final, the U.S. Open, the Daytona 500, and the Ryder Cup. His White House will also host a UFC fight on the front lawn in the coming weeks.
