President Trump confirmed on Friday that he will make a rare trip to New York City to attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night. Invited by Knicks owner James Dolan, he will be the first sitting 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. With tickets hitting a floor of $8,000, the president plans to attend the game himself to cheer for the team.
The team has advised that people attending the game should arrive at least two hours before tipoff to undergo airport-style security screening.
