An NBA champion will visit the White House for the first time during the administration of President Donald Trump.
New York Knicks owner James Dolan, who invited Trump to attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals, said on Wednesday, June 17 that the team will accept an invite from the president. He made the comments during an appearance on WFAN New York.
“As a matter of fact, thank you for asking me that, we just did receive an invitation from the White House, which we accepted,” Dolan said during the appearance. “We still have to figure out the details, et cetera, 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.”
Who else agrees that The Knicks should reject any invitation to the White House, and visit the Obama Presidential Center INSTEAD? 🤚 pic.twitter.com/mWPS8WwDyL

Seeing that the Knicks declined a White House visit. But this place a cesspool of misinformation. I need some reputable sources.

It looks like where Jose will be going is the White House. Hopefully, he's excited about that prospect.

You'll be ok.
How much do you think Dolan threatened to fine players who refuse to attend Donald Trump's BS White House event?

And if they do attend, are they forced to Cage Fight? https://t.co/TyfBUAMMmm

Wonder how many players end up going. https://t.co/knXdNCFBL9

And it appears they have not.
