President Donald Trump attended Madison Square Garden for Game 3 of the NBA Finals on Monday to cheer on his hometown team \u2014 but many of his fellow fans didn\u2019t appear thrilled to have him there.<\/p>\n

As Trump was shown on the jumbotron here during the national anthem, the crowd erupted in loud booing. Trump smiled as he saluted through the song.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The jeers were followed by raucous cheers as the camera panned to Knicks star Jalen Brunson on the court.<\/p>\n

Trump was standing in Knicks owner Jim Dolan\u2019s box, accompanied by a slew of administration officials, who included Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, White House deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin. <\/p>\n

Some of Trump\u2019s family members, including special envoy Jared Kushner and granddaughter Kai Trump, also joined.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s presence at Monday\u2019s game made him the first sitting president to attend an NBA Finals game. But he is no stranger to attending high-profile sporting events.<\/p>\n

Game 3 was the 17th sporting event Trump has attended in person since he returned to office last year, often joined by family members, friends and members of his administration. He has attended the Super Bowl, the Daytona 500 and the men\u2019s tennis U.S. Open final, among others. <\/p>\n

Trump showed up at Game 3 as his hometown team returns to New York City with a 2-0 lead over the San Antonio Spurs on a 13-game winning streak.<\/p>\n

His presence prompted heightened security measures at Madison Square Garden, forcing ticket holders to adhere to a strict no-bag policy and TSA-style screening before entry. <\/p>\n

The city decided not to hold a watch party outside the Garden, prompting backlash from some fans, as the New York Police Department and the Secret Service said \u201cheightened security requirements associated\u201d with Trump\u2019s attendance wouldn\u2019t make the watch party possible.<\/p>\n

NBC New York reported that a secure zone was established in midtown Manhattan near the arena, banning both pedestrians and vehicles from passing through the area.<\/p>\n
