Radio Host Says Trump Didn't Cost The Knicks The Game -- But He Ruined Something Bigger [View all]

Charlamagne tha God weighed in on President Donald Trump, who drew massive backlash for attending Game 3 of the NBA Finals on Monday at Madison Square Garden in New York, where the New York Knicks lost to the San Antonio Spurs 115-111.

During Tuesday’s episode of “The Breakfast Club,” the radio host didn’t blame the president for the Knicks’ loss, as ESPN host Stephen A. Smith and others have.

Instead, he asserted that Trump did something far worse: He killed the vibe.

“Donald Trump wasn’t responsible for the loss of the game, but he was responsible for the loss of joy that the New York Knicks fans had been feeling,” Charlamagne said. “One of the greatest things about this whole playoff run, this Finals run, is watching the joy that Knicks fans have.
