Whoopi Goldberg Says Knicks Should Visit White House After Trump Invitation Accepted
Goldberg said the visit would let the champions stand together after five NBA title teams declined White House invitations during Trump’s first term.
- On Thursday's episode of The View, co-host Whoopi Goldberg urged the New York Knicks to visit the White House, noting no NBA team has ever accepted an invite during President Donald Trump's administration.
- Knicks owner James Dolan confirmed the team accepted an invite after they triumphed 4-1 over the San Antonio Spurs in the finals, though they trailed during the first quarter of each game.
- Co-Hosts Joy Behar and Sunny Hostin expressed reservations, saying the previous five NBA champions declined invitations because Trump politicizes such events, while Sara Haines noted pressure from the Dolan-Trump friendship.
- The final decision rests with the team, coach, and captain Jalen Brunson; Puerto Rican player Jose Alvarado said, 'I will do what my team decides,' reflecting internal pressure.
- Goldberg encouraged the Black players to 'stand in our house' as champions, arguing their presence would symbolize resilience and remind observers that 'nobody can keep you down if you are rising up.
