消息人士:特朗普计划出席在纽约市举行的NBA总决赛


2026年6月4日 美国东部时间上午10:37 / 哥伦比亚广播公司新闻

据熟悉相关计划的消息人士透露,特朗普总统计划于6月8日出席在纽约市举行的NBA总决赛第三场比赛,对阵双方为纽约尼克斯队与圣安东尼奥马刺队。

作为土生土长的纽约人且自称尼克斯球迷的总统,他表示球队老板詹姆斯·多兰邀请他观看这场尼克斯季后赛比赛,而多兰曾为特朗普的政治竞选活动捐款。

哥伦比亚广播公司新闻已联系白宫和麦迪逊广场花园置评。特朗普计划出席赛事的消息最早由《纽约邮报》和《The Athletic》报道。

尼克斯队周三晚在圣安东尼奥赢得总决赛首场比赛,比分为105比95。

据一名执法部门消息人士透露,执法部门已在开会并为此次活动制定加强安保措施。比赛场馆位于曼哈顿中城核心区域,毗邻主要交通枢纽宾夕法尼亚车站。

据《纽约邮报》报道,纽约市市长佐赫兰·曼达尼也计划出席第三场比赛。他曾表示,如果到场,他将与特朗普分开行动。

特朗普曾在5月告诉记者,他计划观看尼克斯队与克利夫兰骑士队的东部决赛第五场比赛。但由于尼克斯队以4比0横扫系列赛,并未进行第五场比赛。

“多兰配得上一支优秀的球队,因为他这些年受了不少苦,”特朗普在5月接受纽约市电台采访时谈到尼克斯队近几十年糟糕的战绩时说道。

当被问及联盟如何为参加冠军赛的“特殊人物”做准备时,美国职业篮球联赛(NBA)总裁亚当·萧华提及了特朗普可能出席的计划。

“体育在我们社会中真正的特别之处——这有点老生常谈了——在我们日益分化的社会中,这关乎那些将出席麦迪逊广场花园首场主场赛事的人们,体育真正能将人们凝聚在一起,”萧华说道。“它能在人们之间建立一种联结感。”

在白宫的第二任期内,特朗普已出席过众多大型体育赛事,从2025年在新奥尔良举行的超级碗,到今年在迈阿密举行的大学橄榄球季后赛全国冠军赛。

前总统巴拉克·奥巴马是最后一位出席NBA比赛的在任总统,2015年他现场观看了家乡芝加哥公牛队击败克利夫兰骑士队的比赛。

但特朗普出席NBA比赛仍值得关注,因为他曾以纽约商人的身份支持该联盟,而入主白宫后却对其提出批评。

特朗普担任总统期间对NBA的批评

在第一任期内,特朗普经常批评在国歌演奏期间单膝下跪抗议警察暴力的NBA球员。

“人们已经厌倦了观看极具政治性的@NBA。篮球收视率大幅下滑,而且不会再回升了,”他在2020年9月写道。

特朗普还与NBA超级球星勒布朗·詹姆斯公开交恶,此前白宫取消了对2017年NBA冠军金州勇士队的传统访问邀请。勇士队核心球员、控球后卫斯蒂芬·库里对是否参加白宫的冠军庆祝活动态度暧昧。

“@StephenCurry30这家伙已经说过他不会来了!所以也就没有邀请这回事了。在你们出现之前,前往白宫是一项莫大的荣誉!”詹姆斯写道。詹姆斯曾支持特朗普的所有民主党总统竞选对手:希拉里·克林顿、乔·拜登和卡玛拉·哈里斯。

在接受美国有线电视新闻网采访后,特朗普在推特上写道,詹姆斯“刚刚接受了电视上最愚蠢的人唐·莱蒙的采访。他让勒布朗看起来很聪明,这可不是件容易的事。”

“我喜欢迈克!”特朗普写道,这是在提及詹姆斯与迈克尔·乔丹谁是史上最伟大篮球运动员的公开争论。

他还称勇士队主教练史蒂夫·科尔和前马刺队主教练格雷格·波波维奇是伪君子,此前在休斯顿火箭队前总经理达里尔·莫雷表态支持香港反政府抗议者引发 backlash 后,两人未对中国进行批评。

“他们肆意抨击美国。但当谈论中国时,他们什么坏话都不愿说,”特朗普在2019年10月说道。“说实话,我觉得他们这种迎合中国的行为非常可悲。这会非常有意思。”

出生并成长于法国的马刺队球星维克托·温班亚马在第二任期内一直批评特朗普的移民政策。

“每天醒来看到新闻我都感到震惊。我认为有些人为了让谋杀平民听起来合理而这么做,这太疯狂了,”温班亚马在1月两名平民蕾妮·古德和亚历克斯·普雷蒂遭枪击后说道。

特朗普与NBA及尼克斯队的友好过往

特朗普与NBA的关系并非一直紧张。

在入主白宫第一任期前,特朗普是NBA和詹姆斯的忠实粉丝。

2012年,他发帖称“作为迈阿密最大的土地所有者之一”,他支持当时效力于迈阿密热火队的詹姆斯,并在热火队当年夺得NBA总冠军后表示祝贺。“勒布朗的时代到来了!@KingJames,”特朗普写道。2014年马刺队夺冠后,他也向其表示了祝贺。

在纽约居住的数十年间,他多次作为场边常客出席尼克斯队在麦迪逊广场花园的季后赛比赛。他曾到场观看1994年NBA总决赛第三场,当时尼克斯队输给了另一支德州球队:休斯顿火箭队。

据记者巴勃罗·托雷透露,2010年多兰组织的招募勒布朗·詹姆斯加盟尼克斯队的活动中,特朗普也是参与者之一。

“世界上真正的赢家都想来这里。他们来这里,他们想来纽约,”特朗普在视频中说道。“这里是真正的赢家想去的地方。”

美联社指出,在2010年尼克斯队比赛的中场采访中,特朗普未排除2012年竞选总统的可能性(也未排除参加《与星共舞》)。

2012年,他支持时任尼克斯队后卫杰里米·林的“林来疯”热潮。特朗普最后一次在推特上提及尼克斯队是在2013年12月,当时球队战绩为5胜15负。

“尼克斯队和篮网队的表现糟糕透顶,真是不可思议。所有人都预测他们会凭借投入的巨额资金成为顶级球队。太可惜了!”他在推特上写道。

Trump plans to attend NBA Finals in New York City, sources say

June 4, 2026 10:37 AM EDT / CBS News

President Trump is planning to attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals in New York City between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs on June 8, according to sources familiar with the plans.

The president, a native New Yorker and self-described Knicks fan, said he was invited to attend a Knicks playoff game by the team’s owner, James Dolan, who has donated to Mr. Trump’s political campaigns.

CBS News has reached out to the White House and Madison Square Garden for comment. News of Trump’s planned attendance was first reported by The New York Post and The Athletic.

The Knicks won Game 1 of the finals in San Antonio Wednesday night, 105 to 95.

Law enforcement has been meeting and working on heightened security for the event, according to one law enforcement source. The arena is in the heart of Midtown Manhattan and sits above Penn Station, a major transit hub.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani also plans to attend Game 3, according to the New York Post. He has said that if he does, he will attend separately from Mr. Trump.

Mr. Trump told reporters in May that he planned to attend Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Knicks and the Cleveland Cavaliers. But there was no Game 5 because the Knicks swept the series in four games.

“Dolan’s entitled to a good team because he’s suffered a little bit,” Trump said in a May New York City radio interview, referencing the Knicks’ lousy record in recent decades.

Asked Wednesday about how the league prepares for “unique people” coming to championship games, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver made a reference to the president’s possible plans to attend.

“What’s really so special about sports in our society — and it’s a little bit of a cliché — but our increasingly divided society — and that goes to people who will be attending the first home game at Madison Square Garden — it truly brings people together,” Silver said. “It creates a sense of connectivity among people.”

Mr. Trump has attended numerous big sporting events throughout his second term at the White House, from the 2025 Super Bowl in New Orleans to this year’s College Football Playoff National Championship game in Miami.

Former President Barack Obama was the last sitting president to attend an NBA game, when he saw his hometown Chicago Bulls beat the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2015.

But Mr. Trump’s attendance at an NBA game is notable, given his past support of the league as a New York City businessman — and his criticism of it once he was in the White House.

Trump’s criticism of the NBA as president

Throughout his first term, Mr. Trump routinely criticized NBA players who took a knee during the national anthem to protest police brutality.

“People are tired of watching the highly political @NBA. Basketball ratings are WAY down, and they won’t be coming back,” he wrote in September 2020.

Trump also feuded publicly with NBA superstar LeBron James, after the White House withdrew an invitation to the 2017 NBA champion Golden State Warriors. The Warriors’ best player, point guard Stephen Curry, was noncommittal about attending the traditional championship visit to the White House.

“U bum @StephenCurry30 already said he ain’t going! So therefore ain’t no invite. Going to White House was a great honor until you showed up!” James wrote. James has endorsed all of Mr. Trump’s Democratic presidential opponents: Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

After a CNN interview with James, Mr. Trump tweeted that James “was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon. He made Lebron look smart, which isn’t easy to do.”

“I like Mike!” Mr. Trump wrote, in reference to the public debate over whether James or Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time.

And he claimed Warriors coach Steve Kerr and former Spurs coach Gregg Popovich were hypocrites, after they refrained from criticizing China amid a backlash over former Houston Rockets owner Daryl Morey’s show of support for Hong Kong’s anti-government protesters.

“They talked badly about the United States. But when they talk about China, they don’t want to say anything bad,” Mr. Trump said in October 2019. “I thought it was pretty sad, actually, to see them pandering to China. It will be very interesting.”

Spurs’ star Victor Wembanyama, who was born and raised in France, has been critical of the president’s immigration policies throughout his second term.

“Every day I wake up and see the news and I’m horrified. I think that it’s crazy that some people make it sound like it’s acceptable, like the murder of civilians is acceptable,” Wembanyama said in January, after the shootings of two civilians, Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

Trump’s friendlier times with NBA and Knicks

Mr. Trump’s relationship with the NBA was not always fraught.

Before his first term in the White House, Mr. Trump was a big fan of both the NBA and James.

In 2012, he posted that “as one of Miami’s largest landowners,” he was rooting for then-Miami Heat player James and then congratulated them on their NBA championship that year. “Lebron’s time is now! @KingJames,” Trump wrote. He also congratulated the San Antonio Spurs in 2014 after their championship win.

And in New York, he was a courtside staple for the Knicks at Madison Square Garden for multiple playoff games throughout his decades in the city. He attended Game 3 of the 1994 NBA Finals, where the Knicks lost to a different Texas team: the Houston Rockets.

Mr. Trump was also part of a 2010 recruiting campaign organized by Dolan to lure James to join the Knicks, according to journalist Pablo Torre.

“The real winners of the world want to be here. They come here, they want to come to New York,” Trump said in the video. “This is the place the real winners want to be.”

The Associated Press noted that during a halftime interview at a 2010 Knicks game, Mr. Trump declined to rule out a run for the presidency in 2012 (or an appearance on “Dancing with the Stars”).

In 2012, he supported the “Linsanity” run of former New York Knicks guard Jeremy Lin. Mr. Trump last posted on the Knicks in December 2013, when the team had five wins and 15 losses.

“It’s amazing how badly the Knicks and Nets are playing. Everybody predicted they would be top teams with all of the money spent. Too bad!” he wrote on Twitter.
