President Donald Trump is making a rare trip back to New York City to attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night. He confirmed his attendance on Friday.
By attending the game, Trump will become the first sitting U.S. president to attend an NBA Finals game. This event marks the first time an NBA Finals game has been held in New York since 1999.
The president, who is a longtime Knicks fan, was invited to the game by Knicks owner James Dolan.
However, the visit has not been welcomed by everyone, as some Knicks fans have stated that he is not welcome at Madison Square Garden.
