Trump booed in New York as he becomes first US president to attend NBA Finals

Donald Trump was booed by attendees at the NBA Finals game in New York on June 6, 2024, marking the first time a sitting U.S. president has attended the championship series. The jeers followed stringent, airport-style security measures implemented for attendees entering Madison Square Garden. Trump, accompanied by his wife Melania Trump, was seen on the Jumbotron, prompting the negative reaction from a portion of the crowd. This appearance at the NBA Finals, specifically Game 4 between the Boston Celtics and the Dallas Mavericks, occurred during his presidential campaign. The event highlighted the polarized reception Trump often receives in public settings, even at a major sporting event.
