I realize with everything going on, including the fascist takeover of the U.S., complaining about Trump attending game 3 of the NBA Finals tonight is small change. But it’s really annoying me. It’s going to be bad for some of the fans (the fans who can’t get in traditionally gather outside to watch the game on a big screen–and the Secret Service has banned that). But tonight is likely going to be a great, intense game: it’s essentially do or die for the Spurs, and the first game of the series to be played in front of the rabid New York Knicks fans.

And that fucking guy has to show up. We can’t even get three hours of good basketball without seeing his ugly mug. I’m guessing they’re going to go out of their way to keep Trump’s image off of the Madison Garden screens, otherwise the boos are going to rain down (Mayor Mamdani also plans to attend, and while this would never happen, it would be hilarious if they alternated screens between Mamdani and Trump, leading to the ensuing alternating cheers and boos).

Narcissists gonna narcissist, I guess. Though it would be kind of funny if It happened during the game…

Update: Mamdani just announced there will be a watch party in Bryant Park tonight.
