A night that was supposed to celebrate the New York Knicks' long-awaited return to the NBA Finals quickly became a political spectacle after President Donald Trump was loudly booed inside Madison Square Garden.
The moment unfolded during the national anthem when cameras focused on Trump and displayed his image on the arena's giant Jumbotron. Within seconds, a chorus of jeers echoed throughout the venue, and many viewers claimed the broadcast quickly cut away from the president as the reaction intensified.
