圣安东尼奥讯——目前尚未有官方消息宣布总统唐纳德·特朗普 (Donald Trump) 计划于下周前往纽约麦迪逊广场花园现场观看一场NBA总决赛，但联盟总裁亚当·萧华 (Adam Silver) 在周三暗示了特朗普的这一意图，他表示，即使在充满分歧的时代，体育依然具有凝聚人心的力量。
萧华在回答关于“特殊人物”造访纽约总决赛现场以及联盟如何为此类事件做准备的问题时，并未直接提及特朗普的名字。据《纽约邮报》引用匿名消息源在周三的报道称，麦迪逊广场花园的官员已经针对特朗普的可能到访“进行了安全演练”。
尼克斯与马刺系列赛的第三场（G3）将于周一在特朗普的家乡纽约进行。
该系列赛于周三在圣安东尼奥打响，第二场（G2）仍将在那里进行。
“我认为体育在我们社会中的特别之处在于——虽然这听起来有些陈词滥调，但在我们这个日益分裂的社会中，这也同样适用于那些将前往麦迪逊广场花园观看首个主场比赛的观众——它确实能将人们凝聚在一起，”萧华说道，“它在人们之间建立起一种联结感，创造出一种归属感，而我每天都能切身感受到这一点。”
白宫方面未在周三晚间立即对置评请求做出回应。
特朗普对大型体育赛事并不陌生。他上周告诉记者，尼克斯老板詹姆斯·多兰 (James Dolan) 邀请他观看NBA总决赛，他原本打算去现场观看东部决赛的第五场（G5）——但尼克斯仅用四场比赛便横扫了克利夫兰骑士，赢下了那轮系列赛。
特朗普称尼克斯自1999年以来首次重返总决赛“非常令人欣喜”。
在其从政期间，特朗普经常现场出席各大瞩目的体育赛事。他曾现场观看过大学橄榄球季后赛全国冠军赛，并在2024年大选前夕前往现场观看了一场匹兹堡钢人与纽约喷气机之间的NFL黄金档焦点大战。

Amid talk of Trump at NBA Finals, Silver cites power of sports
SAN ANTONIO – There has been no announcement that President Donald Trump plans to attend an NBA Finals game at New York’s Madison Square Garden next week, though commissioner Adam Silver hinted at Trump’s intentions Wednesday when he said sports remain something that unifies even in divided times.
Silver, without saying Trump’s name, responded to a question about “unique people” coming to Finals games in New York and how the league prepares for such events. The New York Post, citing anonymous sources, reported Wednesday that Garden officials have “performed security walk-throughs” in anticipation of a Trump visit.
Game 3 of the Knicks-Spurs series is set for Monday in New York, Trump’s hometown.
The series opened Wednesday in San Antonio, and Game 2 will be there on Friday.
“I think what’s really so special about sports in our society – and it’s a little bit of a cliché, but our increasingly divided society, and that goes to people who will be attending the first home game at Madison Square Garden – it truly brings people together,” Silver said. “It creates a sense of connectivity among people. It creates a sense of belonging, and I feel that every day.”
The White House did not immediately reply to a request for comment on Wednesday evening.
Trump is no stranger to major sporting events. He told reporters last week that Knicks owner James Dolan invited him to the NBA Finals and that he would have gone to Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals – but the Knicks needed only four games to win that series against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Trump called the Knicks’ return to the Finals for the first time since 1999 “great to see.”
Trump has routinely dropped in on prominent sporting events during his time in politics. He has taken in the College Football Playoff National Championship game, and he caught a primetime NFL game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Jets just days before the 2024 election.
