The New York Knicks received and accepted an invitation to visit the White House to celebrate their NBA championship, according to Fox News and the New York Post. On an episode of The View, Whoopi Goldberg stated she wanted the players to attend and "stand in our house," while Sara Haines noted owner James Dolan's ties to President Trump placed players in a precarious position. Several details, including confirmation by Dolan and the team's status as the first NBA visitors under Trump, remain unverified.
