President Trump says the New York Knicks were part of NBA finals that were possibly “the greatest” of all time.
“Congratulations to Jim Dolan and the New York Knicks!!!” the president, a city native, posted on Truth Social after the Knicks put the final nail in the coffin against the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday night.
“What incredible playoff wins we have all witnessed, especially the last four – Maybe the greatest in the history of basketball,” the prez wrote, referring to the Knicks’ 4-1 take of the series.
