New York Knicks owner James Dolan may have jumped the gun when he said his championship-winning squad would be White House bound. I've known him for 30 years, and I'm very proud to bring the team to the White House," Dolan said at the time. The Knicks would be the first NBA team to visit Trump in either of his terms, a note Brunson found "interesting." During his trip to the Finals, Trump said basketball was "a little left-wing" but "great entertainment." The White House then used the Knicks logo in a post shortly after last year's election to say, "Trump Is Your President."
