The New York Knicks made a lot of history in the 2026 playoffs, including the largest NBA Finals comeback of all time, the best postseason point differential, and the most wins by double digits. Equally historic is the team’s decision to visit President Donald Trump’s White House.

The Knicks will be the first NBA champions to visit the Trump White House in either term. All other champions during Trump’s time in office have rejected the visit, deciding to put politics over patriotism.
