President Donald Trump plans to attend the first NBA Finals game in nearly three decades at Madison Square Garden, and panelists on MS NOW's "Morning Joe" predicted he would not find a friendly reception from his hometown.The New York Knicks will face off Monday night against the San Antonio Spurs in game 3 of the Finals, which will require fans to wait in extra-long security lines to enter the arena and forced the cancellation of a watch party outside, all of which will anger the crowd inside, according to the panelists."The whole idea of we are living at a time in which everything must be about him," said journalist Pablo Torre. "This is why this sucks. There is a story, it existed, and, of course it could not last. Nothing gold can last. As I say, it existed in this beautiful snow globe of sports and city, and in comes the president, and I get it. You've got to provide security, it doesn't make sense to have the greatest party in sports happening outside, because, of course there are dangers. I'm not saying that the president does not deserve protection. It is merely that by inviting him and choosing to favor his whims over the city, you're making a choice that is frankly reflected in everything else happening in sports and life, in which billionaires get to be prioritized, fast-passed into the heart of something great."Trump has gone to a number of sporting events as president and attended the occasional Knicks home game before entering politics, but host Jonathan Lemire doesn't expect New Yorkers to welcome him back with open arms."Do they show him on the jumbotron?" Lemire wondered. "How many times do they show him on TV, and in that arena, if they do show him, what is the reception? What is the volume of boos he's going to face? It could be it could be off the charts."Author Michael Tomasky agreed."I imagine the ticket prices are going to put a few more Republicans in the seats than normal," Tomasky said. "But what's his approval rating among that crowd in Madison Square Garden tonight? Fifteen percent? Maybe 15.""It's going to be as loud a series of boos as we'll have heard," Torre interjected."I don't understand why he'd even want to do this," Tomasky added. "I know if that were me, I wouldn't. I wouldn't come close to the place and the inconveniencing of the people.""I mean, he does like to associate himself with the winner," Lemire suggested. "The Knicks are winning. He likes to be part of the storyline. The Knicks are the storyline right now in the sports world, you know, and I do think that even the rich guys who the Republicans who might have voted for Donald Trump are still, will have just had to stand in line for three hours, and they're going to be annoyed by that, too." - YouTube youtu.be

This Monday night, June 8, President Donald Trump is planning to attend an NBA Finals game at New York City's Madison Square Garden. But the Queens native is unpopular in his home town, which is predominantly Democratic. And according to the Washington Post reporter Dan Diamond, Trump is "widely expected to be showered with boos" at the NBA (National Basketball Association) game — where the New York Knicks will be competing with the San Antonio Spurs.Trump, Diamond reports, was invited by Knicks owner James Dolan."Some sports fans and analysts have urged Trump not to attend the game — commentator Stephen A. Smith said it would create an unnecessary spectacle — or pledged to jeer the president," Barrett explains in the Post. "Online betting services also predict Trump will be booed in his visit to deep-blue New York City and the Knicks' arena, Madison Square Garden. The team's fans are famously unforgiving — quick to taunt rival players, the team's own stars and recent New York mayor Eric Adams just days after his inauguration."Barrett continues, "As an added frustration, Trump's presence will create logistical hurdles for the roughly 20,000 other attendees, who have been told to arrive at least two hours before tip-off because of the enhanced security measures that follow the president."Dan Pfeiffer, who served as an adviser to former President Barack Obama, suggested that the high price of NBA Finals tickets could make Trump less likely to be booed at Madison Square Garden.Pfeiffer told the Post, "(A) typical Madison Square Garden crowd would boo the daylights out of Trump, but he might benefit from a crowd willing to spend $10,000 to sit in the rafters."Harrison Fields, a former White House deputy press secretary, told the Post, " New York City and an NBA audience might be considered hostile territory, but when has that ever stopped the president?"In a June 5 post on X, sportswriter Shea Serrano encouraged NBA Finals attendees at Madison Square Garden to "boo this m– – so thunderously when they show him on the jumbotron that my TV vibrates off the wall."Serrano told the Post, "His decision to attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals will do for the game what his participation in seemingly everything does: make it actively worse, in one way or another, for everyone else involved."Progressive New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, an ally of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) is also expected to attend the game and, according to Barrett, "has been embraced by some fans for his willingness to join them in the rafters."
