If Trump decides to attend the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden, it would become one of his most high-profile appearances at a sports event.

He has previously attended the Daytona 500, the Super Bowl, Yankees games, and the U.S. Open men’s final.

The president is also preparing for another major sports event. He is set to host a historic Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) card, UFC Freedom 250, featuring an octagonal cage on the South Lawn of the White House on his birthday, June 14.

News of Donald Trump potentially attending the NBA Finals sparked quite the buzz on the internet.

As soon as the news of Trump potentially attending the NBA Finals went viral on social media, a number of netizens expressed their opinions on the same.

While some stated that Trump might get booed at the occasion, others took a dig at his ongoing White House ballroom renovation, which is reportedly budgeted at $400 million.

One user wrote, “He just has to try to ruin everything for everyone."

Another user added, “Oh, he’s going to get booed so badly."

“Donald Trump would literally be kicked out of Madison Square Garden by Knicks fans if he attended the game. Anyone who has lived in NYC for a while knows all about Trump and his family’s corruption. Trump did not move out of NYC, but he was ‘kicked out of’ NYC by the residents,” commented an individual.

One user noted, “But there’s no ballroom there. Is Trump actually telling us that he feels safe without the protection of a ballroom, and thus it is not needed? Great, we all knew this already.”

'He Probably Cannot Even Spell Knicks'

Donald Trump might make an appearance at the NBA Finals.

The comments kept pouring in, as one user wrote, “This is the kind of thing you leak to get attention and keep your name in the air.”

Amid this, one user took a dig at Trump for not attending his son, Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding with Bettina Anderson, which took place in West Pam Beach, Florida, on May 21.

The couple celebrated their nuptials in a private ceremony on May 23, in a private island in the Bahamas.

The president did not attend either of the two ceremonies.

The comment read, “Has time for a mid-week N.B.A. game but just could not find the time on that schedule for his son’s wedding. Shame.”

Another user commented, “Long time fan? He probably cannot even spell Knicks.”

An individual stated, “Another opportunity for Donald Trump to get booed by the New Yorkers."
