NEW YORK, June 9 (DC Times Online) — President Donald Trump drew a mixed reaction at Madison Square Garden when he was shown on the big screen during the national anthem before Game 3 of the NBA Finals, Fox News reported.
Trump attended the June 8 game in New York City between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs, according to Fox News. A Getty Images photo by Samuel Corum placed Trump at the arena at the start of the game.
Fox News reported that some fans cheered when Trump appeared on the screen, but that boos were louder as he saluted from a suite.
Trump was shown alongside his granddaughter Kai Trump and Knicks owner James Dolan, Fox News reported. Kai Trump was on his right, and Dolan was on his left.
The response was different from the one Trump received at the College Football Playoff national championship at Hard Rock Stadium, Fox News reported. At that game, the crowd cheered when Trump appeared on the stadium video board during the national anthem.
Fox News reported that after Trump was shown at Madison Square Garden, the video returned to NYPD officers holding flags on the court.
Game details central to the NBA Finals, including the final score, series standing and player statistics, were not available in the supplied source material.
