So it didn’t take any planning or coordination at all? He just walked right in and met the president and sat courtside watching the game?
I suppose he paid for his security as well and it wasn’t on the taxpayers.

Do you think a former President commands the same security concerns as the current POTUS?

Obama visiting the NBA finals (in Toronto) didn't shutdown the entirety of foot traffic and cancel all watch parties around the stadium like Trump's visit is going to do.

That being said, I don't really care about this, I just think it's kind of funny he wants to go through all this mess to end up leaving after about 20min on site

Do you have anything showing that the players don’t want him there? Or do you just assume because you can’t handle it, that all players feel the same way?
just wondering because you seem to be fighting one narrative yet nothing seems to back up the other side of it.

I don't know what the players think but I did come across this tweet from Josh Hart in 2020.

Do I think it’s the same, no. But I’m sure it was a hassle for some. If you want to go to a game, go without your security.
I do think it’s stupid if Trump goes and leaves after 20 minutes. But if he goes and stays the entire game, why shouldn’t he be allowed to go. Just because he’s the president, he shouldn’t be allowed?

Odd comment considering I’m not taking the lib route. The one where you follow the playbook and are mean to everyone that is not like you.

My first comment was pretty critical of you, whom I do not have any idea about, and Huey who is a known liberal.

The moment you start questioning if you actually have a handle on things, you'll become exponentially more intelligent.

And you know for sure that it is real? How would you feel if this would have been a post from a white athlete and Obama would have been in office?

Yes I do because unlike magats, I verify before posting @SS-clown slop.

  • The post highlights a resurfaced 2020 tweet by Knicks player Josh Hart reading "YESSIR!!!! GET TRUMP’S DUMBASS OUT THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!!!" that is circulating again as President Trump attends Game 3 of the 2026 NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden.
  • Hart, shown in his Knicks uniform in the attached images, posted the message originally on November 7, 2020, following that year's election, and it has gained renewed attention amid the Knicks leading the Spurs 2-0 in the series.
  • The timing coincides with other reactions including Stephen A. Smith blaming potential Knicks losses on Trump's presence and fan complaints about high ticket prices and the president's visit.

Ok, so what exactly did the tweet prove then?

Jebus dude, I'm not getting into one of your never-ending threads about your feelings. You asked if there was evidence of players not wanting him there. I followed up by saying "I don't know" what the players think but I found a tweet from one of them that showed they didn't like him in the past. That's it, that's the whole story. The end.

lol. Well you were saying posts commenting about Trump coming to the game aren’t real.
so you found a post that is real but from 6 years ago. What does it have to do with Trump being at tonight’s game.
so again, what exactly did you posting a tweet from 6 years ago prove?
me calling out your posting has nothing to do with my feelings, in fact I’m making fun of you and all other posters in this op getting worked up over the president going to a basketball game.

Nah I don’t care if he goes or doesn’t. I’m just not surprised at the backlash considering how much of a PITA it is for everyone else who lives in the area

Years ago, my banker invited me to the national championship game in Atlanta Between Georgia and Bama. The one where Tua threw a last second touch down. Bone spurs attended that game too, there was a torrential downpour that night, and one of the four entrances was completely shut down for lard butt. Thousands stuck out in the rain so he could walk out with the color guard on the field. I remember speaking to a Secret Service agent who was apologizing to the crowd and saying that they weren’t expecting Trump to show up 45 minutes later than anticipated.

My wife & I had zero issue getting into the game, and enjoyed it thoroughly. You must’ve had cheap seats. Sorry for your hard time.

box seats beta boy, something you wouldn't know about.

I guess your fat wife was probably on one of those motorized scooters, so they let her cut the line.
