00:00The New York Knickerbockers return home to Madison Square Garden tonight for Game 3 of the NBA Finals
00:06with a two-games-to-none lead. The Big Apple is collectively and understandably losing its mind.
00:13But as big as this game is, there is one person dominating the headlines and he isn't even on the
00:19Knicks, President Trump. The Commander-in-Chief will be one of the 20,000 in attendance at the
00:24first home finals game in 27 years and his appearance has the Knicks tightening security
00:29at the Garden. There's a strict no-bags policy and what is being described as a TSA-style security
00:36just to get in the door. And just like dealing with TSA at the airport, MSG told fans to be
00:41at the
00:41game two hours before tip-off in order to get through. Now this marks the first time a sitting
00:46president will attend an NBA Finals game. Before sitting in the Oval, Trump was a fixture at Knicks
00:51games, sitting courtside of course. Something NBA Commissioner Adam Silver alluded to last week
00:56saying, quote, I think President Trump is very much a New Yorker and I'm thrilled that yet another
01:01New Yorker wants to participate in the enthusiasm and the joy around this Knicks team.
