Will the Knicks fans' boo sufficiently for announcers to comment on it? We're talking about Trump boos.
56% of users predicted YES — the community missed this one. 34 predictions cast.
When President Trump was shown on the Madison Square Garden Jumbotron during the national anthem before Game 3 of the NBA Finals on June 8, 2026, the crowd responded with loud booing — a moment that CNBC, NPR, NBC News, and other outlets described as "thunderous." Trump appeared alongside Knicks owner James Dolan in Dolan's suite; the cameras quickly cut away to players on the court, and the arena noise shifted toward cheers when guard Jalen Brunson came into frame.
Despite the boos being audible and widely covered in post-game reporting, the NBA on-air broadcast crew did not verbally acknowledge or narrate the crowd's reaction during the telecast — the threshold required for the question to resolve YES. The booing became a major story in print and digital media after the game, but it was handled as a passing moment during the live broadcast rather than as a subject of on-air commentary.
The Predict Six community was nearly evenly split at 56% YES, accurately reflecting the genuine uncertainty over how a live sports broadcast would manage an unusual political moment. The community was slightly on the wrong side.
