The game marked a significant occasion, as it was the Knicks' first NBA Finals home game since 1999, drawing a star-studded crowd that included Cardi B, actor Timothée Chalamet, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, and Trump himself. After the final buzzer, Cardi B remarked on the unique ambiance, suggesting that Trump's attendance may have contributed to a sense of unease. "It probably was," she said when asked if his presence brought bad luck to the Knicks. "It did feel a little dark in there," she added, explaining that the extensive security measures surrounding Trump impacted the overall experience for fans.
Despite the loss, Cardi B expressed her unwavering support for the Knicks, believing they could rebound in the upcoming game. She shared some of her favorite moments from the night, including her excitement at seeing Spurs star Victor Wembanyama in person, whom she described as even taller than she had imagined. Additionally, she enjoyed watching her four-year-old son, Wave, who was so engrossed in the game that he did not once ask to use a phone.
However, Cardi B noted that the mood inside Madison Square Garden was not what she had anticipated for such a significant event. "It felt like the principal was there and everybody had to be on their best behavior and stuff like that," she commented, highlighting the unusual atmosphere. Reports indicated that Trump's presence led to lengthy security lines and alterations to fan activities surrounding the game, with some sections of the crowd booing when he appeared on the jumbotron.
As the Knicks maintain a 2-1 lead in the NBA Finals series, Cardi B has already devised a plan for Game 4. She encouraged Knicks fans to join her online for a prayer circle before the next game, hoping to shift the team's fortunes and inspire a victory. Her passionate support for the Knicks remains steadfast, as she looks forward to their next challenge on the court.
