FoxNews: NEW: President Trump reveals he was invited to a New York Knicks game for their first NBA finals appearance in 27 years: "I was invited... I was going to go on Wednesday, but they closed it out very quickly." "They have some great players. I think I'll be going to one of the games. I was invited by, numerous people." "The Knicks have really... they really suffered for years".
FoxNews: Kathy Hochul attempted to dunk on President Trump over the Knicks — and ended up getting roasted by fans instead. The New York governor tried to quiz the president's support for the team when asked about him potentially attending an NBA Finals game. “I ask him to name the starting lineup from the 1993 championship team and see how he does,” Hochul said. There’s just one problem: the Knicks didn’t win a championship in 1993. Their last NBA title came in 1973.
Pettis was then asked if she would be open to being a "basketball wife," which prompted her to talk about her previous relationship. "My ex is now in the NBA. He wasn't when we dated. He was, like, in high school and college," she began. "I broke up with him before he was in the league because he was a psychopath." Pettis did not name Porter, but the two publicly dated from 2016-17, before Porter was drafted 14th overall by the Denver Nuggets in the 2018 NBA Draft. "I do think a lot of athletes are not great partners, but I wouldn't rule it out because I do love what they do," she continued. "So, I would have respect for them and love to talk to them about, you know, their passion."
Rose appeared on a live edition of the "Joe and Jada Unfiltered" podcast last week and said the "only sports that have salary caps are Black led" as he talked about his problem with the system. He named leagues like MLB, NASCAR, golf and tennis that do not have salary caps. Though he failed to mention that the NHL has a salary cap as roughly two dozen NHL players are Black. "The second thing is they have no after high school restrictions," he continued. "So, that’s a residue of slavery because we’re going to get money off of you for multiple years for free. There’s no way around it. So, what happened in the game, it became so obvious because of social media and because of information, it’s like ‘We’re making a billion dollars, we gotta pay them something.' That’s how it ended up happening."

Former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom condemned the American-born Team China Olympic skier Eileen Gu during an interview on Fox News’ “Ingraham Angle” on Tuesday. “I’m just going to say it, she’s a traitor,” Freedom said. “She was born in America. She was raised in America, lives in America, and chooses to compete against her own country for, literally, the worst human rights abuser on the planet, China. She built her fame in a free country, and then chooses to represent an authoritarian regime.”
Calipari, who won a national championship during his time coaching at Kentucky, went almost seven minutes during his post-game press conference talking about today’s game after a reporter asked his thoughts on the Nnaji move. "I’ve got friends that are playing with 27-year-olds, and they feel bad, and I said, ‘Don’t feel bad. We don’t have any rules. Why should you feel bad?'" Calipari said, per Awful Announcing. "But let me give you this. Real simple: the rules bees the rules. So, if you put your name in the draft, I don’t care if you’re from Russia and you stay in the draft, you can’t play college basketball. ‘Well, that’s only for American kids.’ What? If your name is in that draft, and you got drafted, you can’t play college because that’s our rule. ‘Yeah, but that’s only for American kids.’ OK. OK."
The Brooklyn Nets paid tribute to the victims of the Sydney Hanukkah massacre in a Hanukkah celebration at the Barclays Center during the team’s game against the Miami Heat on Thursday night. As part of the event, a giant basketball menorah was lit during the game by the 14-year-old nephew of Rabbi Eli Schlanger, who was killed in the Sydney massacre last week. The ceremony was facilitated by the Chabad Teen Network, the world’s largest teen organization. Fox News Digital spoke with Rabbi Mendy Kotlarsky of Chabad World Headquarters, who would have attended the menorah lighting at the Barclays Center Thursday, but instead booked a one-way ticket to Australia to be with the victims' families. Kotlarsky said the Nets recognizing Hanukkah and celebrating Jewish heritage is one of the things that "makes America great."
Prosecutors pointed to (Terry Rozier’s lawyer Jim) Trusty’s comments in the days after Rozier’s arrest, where he said that Rozier told a friend that he would come out of the game. Trusty told CNN that Rozier “relied on a bad friend” and told Fox News, “whatever that friend did is not on Terry (Rozier).”
Grady said the "Alien" nickname agreed with Wembanyama. But Van Gundy was quick to call for a change. "The only thing is, in the current political environment, you gotta watch that word, Michael Grady," Van Gundy said. "They deport those. We do not want Victor Wembanyama deported. Let's go with a different nickname." Grady laughed it off.

Barry Jackson: Rozier's attorney, Jim Trusty, told Fox News today that the prosecution has not provided him yet with whatever evidence the feds have against Terry but "this is an innocent guy who's getting completely screwed, to use some legal vernacular, in terms of his career. It's an 11-year vet. He's played 1,000 games. They're latching onto a game where the NBA literally cleared him two years ago and trying to suggest that somehow they know better and that they know he was a conspirator, as opposed to just somebody who had a hurt foot."
During a recent episode of "7PM In Brooklyn with Carmelo Anthony," Smith revisited the moment with the New York Knicks legend, saying that the circumstances of the conversation with James as well as how it appeared on camera still doesn’t sit right with him. "The day that he rolled up on me courtside, it was the day my contract was announced that I had stayed with ESPN," Smith explained on the podcast. "Go back and look at the camera angle…This is 2025, we got technology everywhere. TNT is a nationally televised game. How is it we got one angle, and the only angle you see was of him and his face, but you see the back of my peanut head?"
Smith believes that, considering James’ star status, there would’ve been many more camera angles of the courtside meeting. "There’s no way that you’re in an arena, you’re LeBron James, and the only angle that somebody sees is a straight up shot of you getting in my face," Smith added. "They see no reaction. They see nothing. And that’s an accident?"
