Donald Trump plans to attend an NBA Finals game at Madison Square Garden, becoming the first sitting U.S. president to do so. Trump announced his attendance plans after receiving an invitation from Knicks owner James Dolan. The president had initially intended to attend Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals but changed plans when New York swept Cleveland in four games.

The Knicks enter the Finals on an 11-game winning streak, the most lopsided such span in NBA history. They've outscored opponents by 262 points during this remarkable run, extending their postseason dominance. The team's historic performance marks their first Finals appearance since 1999, ending a 27-year drought for the franchise.

With either Oklahoma City or San Antonio awaiting them, New York will host Games 3 and 4 at Madison Square Garden on June 8 and 10. Trump expressed admiration for the team's success, noting "what a team" they've become after years of struggling in the league.
