The NY Knicks will become the first NBA team to visit President Trump at the White House.
During an appearance on the Craig Carton show, Knicks owner James Dolan revealed that the team had accepted an invitation to go to the White House.
“We just did receive an invitation from the White House, which we accepted. We still have to figure out the details, etc., but yes, of course. Look, I invited the president to come down for the game. He is a friend, I’ve known him for 30 years and I’m very proud to bring the team to the White House.”
