After the president attended the Knicks’ lone Finals defeat, fans credited his absence for their championship victory.
Knicks fans celebrated their first NBA championship in 53 years on Saturday by declaring victory over an unlikely opponent: the “Trump curse. ” Moments after the New York Knicks completed a dramatic comeback win over the San Antonio Spurs 94-90 and clinched the NBA title, social media filled with speculation that the supposed curse hanging over the team had finally been broken.
President Donald Trump appears asleep next to Knicks owner James Dolan as they attend Game Three of the NBA Finals between the San Antonio Spurs and the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden in New York on June 8. The Knicks then suffered their first playoff loss since April, falling 115-111 to San Antonio and snapping a 13-game winning streak. Any lingering superstition vanished Saturday night as the Knicks rallied late to clinch the franchise’s first championship since 1973.
Thousands of fans packed watch parties outside Madison Square Garden, at Radio City Music Hall, and in Central Park as the city erupted in celebration. Crowds flooded the streets around the Garden as news of the victory spread, with fans chanting players’ names. The incidents came as police maintained a heightened presence around the city amid concerns that championship celebrations could spill into disorder.
Following the victory, Trump congratulated Knicks owner James Dolan and praised what he called one of the greatest playoff runs in basketball history.
