President Trump on Monday attended the third game of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The San Antonio Spurs beat the New York Knicks, who hadn't lost a game since late April. The crowd booed when Trump was shown on the jumbotron.
"This was supposed to be a day about the Knicks. It was supposed to be a celebration of New York," says Dave Zirin, sports editor for The Nation and host of the Edge of Sports podcast. "And instead it was about one authoritarian, malignant narcissist."
