President Trump will become the first sitting U.S. president to attend an NBA Finals game on Monday night for Game 3 between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs. @edokeefe has more from Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Source sent over this photo of @POTUS sitting next to @NassauExec at the NBA Finals just now — Blakeman wants the President’s help in gubernatorial run.
Source said Blakeman also chatted with MSG CEO James Dolan & NBA Commish Adam Silver
TRUMP IS AT @TheGarden
MORE: Per the White House press pool:
“Uneventful ride along FDR Drive though we spotted several Knicks watch parties on apartment balconies and one
Near the Brooklyn Bridge.
“Lots of photos and videos. The pool counted two middle fingers and one thumbs down.
“One sign side ‘Nobody wants you here.’ Another said ‘Trump must go,’ and two others said ‘Impeach. Convict. Remove.’
Lots and lots of people wearing Knicks jerseys and hats.”
Love the president or not, in the words of one @nyknicks season ticket holder I spoke to tonight, “Fat Joe is recent, but Trump was HERE back in the day. And here when they were bad!”
Angelica, Eliza and Peggy — the Schuyler Sisters — are here. Or at least the actresses who play them in “Hamilton.”
They will be singing “The Greatest City In The World” tonight at Game 3.
