Knicks coach says the NBA champions are still discussing if they will visit the White House
Mike Brown said the team is still discussing the trip, and no NBA champion visited the White House during Trump’s first term or after his 2024 election.
- On Tuesday, head coach Mike Brown announced the New York Knicks are still deciding whether to visit the White House as NBA champions under President Donald Trump, with no final decision made.
- White House championship visits became complicated under Trump; no NBA team visited during his first term or after his 2024 election, contrasting with President Barack Obama's annual tradition of hosting champions.
- Knicks owner James Dolan told WFAN 101.9 FM that his players accepted an invitation, citing his 30-year friendship with Trump; however, star Jalen Brunson said the team would discuss it together.
- Teams often arrange White House visits when playing the Wizards in Washington, and the Knicks are scheduled for games there on December 18 and March 16, creating potential timing opportunities.
- Brown emphasized the organization is internally discussing the matter and will act together on whatever decision is made, underscoring the Knicks' collective approach to the sensitive issue.
