Donald Trump heard 'mostly cheers,' not boos, in Knicks-Spurs moment

[ASFN Admin]

President Donald Trump received loud boos during the national anthem during Game 3 of the 2026 NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden on Monday night.

However, Trump, a New York Knicks fan, doesn't think so, at least not compared to the positive reception. He thinks he got "mostly cheers" from a "very enthusiastic" crowd.

While talking to reporters late on Monday night after attending the NBA Finals game, Trump said he was happy with the crowd's response (that audibly featured boos from video footage in the stadium).

"I thought it was very good. It was certainly amazing;" Trump said of the crowd's response to his appearance on the MSG Jumbotron. "I think mostly cheers. It was loud, and it was very enthusiastic."

Did he actually fall asleep during Game 3?​

We can't say for sure, but it looked like it, even briefly.
