Former President Donald Trump praised the New York Knicks following their decisive victory over the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals on Saturday night. The Knicks secured the championship with a 4-1 series win, marking a significant achievement for the franchise.

Trump, a native of New York City, expressed his congratulations to the team’s owner, Jim Dolan, and celebrated the overall quality of the Finals series. In a post on Truth Social, he described the playoff run, particularly the last four games, as potentially "the greatest in the history of basketball."

Highlighting standout players, Trump singled out Jalen Brunson, calling him a newly crowned superstar. He also named Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby, and Mitchell Robinson, referring to Robinson as a “great patriot.” Trump’s comments underscored the contributions of these key athletes to the Knicks’ championship success.

The former president attended Game 3 of the series at Madison Square Garden earlier in the week, demonstrating his support in person. The Knicks’ championship marks their first NBA title in over four decades, ending a long championship drought for the storied franchise.
