Donald Trump received a not-so-warm welcome at Madison Square Garden during Game 3 of the NBA Finals. As the President appeared in front of his hometown crowd, he was met with a sea of boos from thousands of basketball fans.

As Broadway star Avery Wilson sang the National Anthem, the camera faded to a shot of Trump saluting the flag, and MSG erupted into boos. Feint claps for the President could be heard on the broadcast, but they were overwhelmed by the Bronx cheer.
