Stephen A.'s Warning

On First Take, Smith labeled the president's decision to attend the Finals "selfish and narcissistic" and joked, "If it causes the New York Knicks to lose tonight, I'm blaming him." He later said his criticism was not partisan and reiterated he has downplayed any serious presidential ambitions despite being floated as a possible contender.

MSG Moment and the Game

Trump became the first sitting president to attend an NBA Finals game, watched the matchup with his granddaughter Kai and drew a mixed reaction when shown on the arena boards. He also acknowledged NYPD officers carrying the flag during the anthem. The Knicks fell 115-111 in Game 3, and the series moves to Game 4 at Madison Square Garden.
