New York Knicks legend Bill Bradley has offered a word of caution to President Donald Trump about his planned attendance at the upcoming NBA finals. "It's a free country
but to me, he's not going to be the center of attention. The center of attention will be the Knicks," Bradley, 82, who served as a Democratic New Jersey senator from 1979 to 1997, said in an interview with TMZ Sports. The 6-foot-5 Hall of Famer was a star forward for the Knicks during their 1970 and 1973 NBA title seasons, the only two championships in franchise history. The team is heading back to the finals on June 3 for the first time since the 1998-99 season, and Trump said at a Cabinet meeting Wednesday that he is planning to attend a game. "Quite frankly
I don't give a s--t what he does," Bradley said of Trump. "What I care about is what the team does."

(2,584 posts)issued a joint statement saying they won't play if Trump comes to the arena. They can spin the argument, which has the advantage of actually being true, that having Trump and all the BS that supports him in attendance, would be too much of a distraction to the teams. It would be unfair to the teams. And it is way unfair to the fans.
Trump doesn't want any black generals, but he is perfectly happy to exploit black athletes while they demonstrate the high art of basket ball performed at the highest level. That is serious BS at the highest level.

(4,232 posts)I'm a Mississippi native, left at age 18 in 1962, go back for funerals. However, I stayed in the South, never lived north of Tennessee.
Back 25 (??) years ago I flew into NY on business -- my first trip to the land of the damnyankees.
Two guys got off the plane in front of me, from their accents they clearly were NY natives. Walked down the ramp, into the terminal, one turned to the other and said: "Something's wrong!! I've been in New York for 5 minutes and nobody has cursed at me!!"
Let's hope that does not happen to Trump -- curse at the moron the minute he shows his face and don't stop.
