He was also booed outside at the Bryant Park watch party.

His arrival created long lines and added security outside the arena. There was a time when Donald Trump was just another celebrity sitting courtside at New York Knicks games. He was famous, but not yet flanked by Secret Service agents or defined by the politics that have left him deeply unpopular in his hometown.
