The New York Knicks have announced that fans attending Game 3 of the NBA Finals must arrive at Madison Square Garden two hours early due to enhanced security measures related to the presence of former President Donald Trump. In a social media update, the team detailed the need for early arrival to facilitate TSA-style screening procedures, aimed at ensuring a safe environment for all attendees. The Knicks emphasized the importance of arriving early, stating that fans should limit personal items as a strict no-bag policy will be enforced. Additionally, they noted that there will be no storage available for any prohibited items brought to the venue. The Knicks currently hold a two-game lead in the series against the San Antonio Spurs, making this game critical for their championship aspirations. In a light-hearted remark, former GOP insider George Conway joked on social media that fans could still express themselves, suggesting they could bring their middle fingers. This situation highlights the intersection of sports and politics, especially during high-stakes events like the NBA Finals.
