President Donald Trump has all but confirmed his attendance at the NBA Finals starting next week, revealing Wednesday that he plans to watch the New York Knicks as they make their first Finals appearance in nearly 30 years.
Trump told a White House Cabinet meeting on Wednesday that he had originally planned to attend the Knicks’ Game 5 at Madison Square Garden, but the team swept the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday night to make their first Finals appearance since 1999.
“I was invited to the meeting – I was going to go on Wednesday, but they closed very quickly,” he said when asked by a reporter if he planned to attend.
“Jim Dolan is a great guy. As you know, he owns and runs Madison Square Garden. He’s having a good year. Boy, what a team. They’ve won all their games. They have great players. I think I’ll go to one of the games. I’ve been invited by a lot of people and Jim. And I think I’m going. Great, great to see him.”
