Summary
The New York Knicks, poised to become the first NBA champions to visit the White House under President Trump, are sparking political buzz after accepting an invitation their owner proudly called “a big honor.” While the team celebrates their championship, tensions simmer as some players openly oppose Trump, while others remain neutral — and fans booted him off the jumbotron during a game.
