"It was so bad" – Raymond Felton shares the reception Donald Trump received in MSG – Yahoo Sports USEnglish It's a rare occurrence for anyone not directly involved with the competing teams to steal the spotlight during the NBA Finals. However, President Donald Trump managed to do exactly that. As he became the first seated US President to attend an NBA Finals game, speculation immediately erupted about the crowd's reaction when he appeared on the Jumbotron. While Trump insisted he mostly heard cheers, former New York Knicks guard Raymond Felton, who was in attendance for Game 3 at Madison Square Garden, revealed a different version of events—one that Trump's supporters may not be thrilled to hear. "Energy was crazy. The moment when they put him up there? It was so bad. When they put him on the Jumbotron? Oh, My God!" Felton said. "It got to a point where it was so bad, whoever the video guy was — is the champ — 'cause he went from 'him' to all the Knicks players. That was perfect how he did that."
