Donald Trump attended Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden, marking the first time a sitting president has attended such an event. As he appeared on the arena's screens during the national anthem, he faced a mix of loud boos and cheers from the crowd. Trump dismissed the negative reception, stating, "It was, I think, mostly cheers." He was in a suite with Knicks owner James Dolan and other dignitaries, including former athletes. Security was heavily increased, causing significant disruptions for fans, many of whom faced long waits to enter the arena. Ticket prices soared, with some exceeding $5,000, prompting many fans to gather outside the arena instead. The Knicks lost to the San Antonio Spurs, ending their playoff winning streak. Despite the challenges, Knicks fans expressed resilience, finding alternative ways to enjoy the game amidst the heightened security measures.
