Knicks will become first NBA team to visit Trump White House, owner James Dolan says

Key Points:

• The New York Knicks plan to become the first NBA team to visit President Donald Trump at the White House, according to team owner James Dolan, who accepted the invitation during a radio appearance.
• Dolan, a longtime friend of Trump, invited the president to a Knicks game and expressed pride in bringing the team to the White House, though details of the visit are still being finalized.
• Trump attended Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden, marking the first sitting president to attend a Finals game, but faced boos from Knicks fans and was seated behind bulletproof glass with Dolan.
• No NBA team has visited Trump during his presidency, with many players and teams declining due to political differences; notable was Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors, who declined and had their invitation rescinded.
• Since Trump's presidency, NBA champions have mostly declined White House visits, with the Golden State Warriors notably refusing during Trump's term but accepting during Joe Biden's administration.
