New York Knicks accept Donald Trump’s White House invitation

It sounds like the New York Knicks will be celebrating their NBA Championship at the White House with United States President Donald Trump.

Trump, who attended Game 3 of the NBA Finals in New York City, is a longtime New Yorker, Knicks fan, and a friend of team owner James Dolan. So it comes as no surprise that he has already invited the team to celebrate their victory at the White House. It also comes as no surprise that Dolan, who invited him to Game 3, has already accepted on the team’s behalf.

Trump Supported the Knicks

Trump has supported the Knicks throughout their playoff run, even attending Game 3 of the NBA Finals in Madison Square Garden. When the team clinched the series with a win in Game 5 in San Antonio, Trump was quick to congratulate the team on social media.

“Congratulations to Jim Dolan and the New York Knicks!!!” he wrote in a post on his social media platform, Truth Social.

“What a year it has been but, even more so, what incredible playoff wins we have all witnessed, especially the last four – Maybe the greatest in the history of basketball. Also, tonight, a superstar was born. His name is Jalen Brunson, and there are others, including, Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby, and great Patriot, Mitchell Robinson! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP.”

While Trump has never invited an NBA team to celebrate their championship at the White House, it sounds like the Knicks are set to become the first.

Knicks Headed to White House

During an appearance on The Craig Carton Show on WFAN on Wednesday, New York Knicks team owner James Dolan confirmed that the team had received an invitation to celebrate their championship at the White House, and that invitation had already been accepted.

“We just received an invitation which we’ve accepted, still have to figure out the details,” Dolan told Carton. “I’ve known the president 30 years and I’m very proud to bring the team to the White House.”

As Dolan said, it’s not immediately clear when the team will visit the White House. In the past, however, teams have occurred when the team is in Washington, D.C. for a game against the Wizards.
