NY Knicks forced to demand fans show up two hours early for game thanks to Trump

By Bennito L. Kelty
Published June 6, 2026 8:12 PM ET

The New York Knicks have to ask fans to show up two hours before the start of Game 3 of the NBA finals, all thanks to Trump.

In a social media post, the basketball team laid out security measures at its home court in Madison Square Garden to accommodate Trump, who plans to attend.

Attendees are "strongly encouraged to arrive at least two hours before tip-off" to get through "TSA-style screening procedures," the Knicks cautioned.

That will intensify their dislike of the orange menace.
Besides we want more than four games.

Do Dallas when in NY to play the New York Football Giants for an East Division Championship. I have felt that hate as a Cowboy fan. (Why I don’t know. 30 years of hell. The previous 30 were not bad)
Come on NY. Do your thing. Boo that lard ass the hell out of your state. You ran him out to Florida.

I mean, yeah, give him hell, NY.

But that’s some quality headline construction right there.

He's not really well enough to go. He's still recovering from his last episode that took a week before he could speak in public.
AND! he doesn't like getting booed! Why is he putting himself through this?

I really don't expect him to attend.

Hopefully, we'll get to see him croak on camera. I don't think he has the stamina to last the entire game.

It'd save Orrex some time in the morning, and wouldn't that be something?
