NEW YORK – Irate ticketholders booed U.S. President Donald Trump as they waited in lines more than two blocks long outside Madison Square Garden on Monday, where a strict, airport-style gauntlet of security was in place as the Republican became the first sitting U.S. president to attend the NBA Finals.
More than half the seats in the arena were empty with only an hour to go before tipoff in Game 3 of the Finals, with the New York Knicks commanding a 2-0 head start in the best-of-seven series against the San Antonio Spurs.
A formidable security presence slowed entry to the arena, as commuters and tourists navigated a maze of black metal fencing that restricted pedestrian traffic around the venue.
