Donald Trump is set to attend Game 3 of the 2026 NBA Finals. And for the fans who can't afford to watch the game amid the sky-high ticket prices, the United States president offered a simple solution.

"They can watch it on television," Trump told reporters Friday. "It's sort of semi-free to watch it on television. But that's the way life goes.
"Now if the game wasn't a big, if the team wasn't a big success, you could go very easily."
The get-in ticket price for Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden has soared past $8,000, with major secondary resale markets like StubHub listing the cheapest single seats between $9,300 and $9,700.
With the Knicks making it back to the championship stage for the first time since 1999, the ticket prices have reached an all-time high.
As a billionaire, good friend of Knicks owner James Dolan and the highest-ranking official in the U.S., Trump is pretty much privileged enough to watch the game.
He will be the first United States president to attend an NBA game since Barack Obama in 2015.
