Trump Booed by Basketball Fans at NBA Finals Game in New York

Basketball fans greeted U.S. President Donald Trump ?with a chorus of loud boos on Monday, as the Republican became the first sitting U.S. president to attend the NBA Finals at ?Game 3 of the championship series between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs. 

Attending as a guest of Knicks president James Dolan, Trump stood in a luxury box at Madison Square Garden, the self-styled "World's Most Famous Arena," smiling as the sell-out crowd jeered and booed when he appeared on the Jumbotron



during the national anthem.

"I thought it was amazing, actually," Trump told reporters ?as he prepared to depart from JFK airport in New York. "You mean, when they had the camera on me? I thought it was very ?good."

The incident marked the latest chapter in Trump's complicated relationship with his former hometown, where fuming fans waited in lines that ?snarled around the sidewalks of Midtown Manhattan with extraordinary security measures in place for the presidential visit.
