[USA Today] Knicks to become first NBA champion to visit 45th/47th Administration’s White House, Dolan says
Excerpt:
New York Knicks owner James Dolan, who invited Trump to attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals, said the team will accept an invite from the president on Wednesday, June 17, during an appearance on WFAN New York.
“As a matter of tact, thank you for asking me that, we just did receive an invitation from the White House, which we accepted,” Dolan said during the appearance. “We still have to figure out the details, et cetera, but yes, of course. Look, I invited the President to come down for the game. He is a friend.
I’ve known him for 30 years and I’m very proud to bring the team to the White House.”
Dolan has long been a supporter and donor of Trump and sat alongside the President in Dolan’s suite June 8 during New York’s 115-111 loss against the Spurs in Game 3, the team’s only defeat during the series.
