Far-left New York Governor Kathy Hochul’s attempt to call President Trump’s New York Knicks fandom into question blew up in her face after she made an embarrassing error regarding the team’s history.
As TGP readers may know, the Knicks reached the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999 after sweeping the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals on Monday. Following the sweep, the New York Times reported that Trump, a lifelong Knicks fan, was planning on attending an NBA Finals game at the historic Madison Square Garden.
Trump confirmed these intentions on Wednesday during a cabinet meeting at the White House.
“I was invited to. I was going to go on Wednesday (which was supposed to be Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals), but they closed it out very quickly,” Trump told The New York Post. “They’re great, and Jim Dolan’s a great guy; he’s, as you know, owns and is in charge of Madison Square Garden. He’s having a good year.”
A reporter later asked Hochul about Trump’s claim of being a lifelong fan of the Knicks during a press conference. Here was her response:
“I’d ask him to name the starting lineup of the 1993 Championship team and see how he does,” Hochul retorted.
WATCH:
Reporter: “What do you say to President Trump saying he’s a lifelong Knicks fan?”
Hochul: “I’d ask him to name the starting lineup of the 1993 Championship team and see how he does.”

There’s just one problem with Hochul’s statement: the Knicks’ last NBA championship was in 1973, not 1993.
In fact, the 1993 team is notorious for blowing a 2-0 lead against Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals.
One can bet Trump would not have made this mistake.
Social media users responded by brutally roasting Hochul for her failed dunk on the president.
What a fuckin idiot! Knicks didn’t win any championships in 1993. Trump actually went to Knick Games in the 90s. When the last time “Kathy Hochul” saw a game of any kind in NY. How about never….

Gov. Hochul tries to own Trump on Knicks fandom… and flops hard:
“I’d ask him to name the starting lineup of the 1993 Championship team”
Knicks last won a title in 1973. There was no 1993 championship.
Trump’s been a lifelong Knicks fan. Hochul is a fraud. pic.twitter.com/G2zTbvhTR1

The problem? The 1993 NBA champions were Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls — not the Knicks.

I think it’s admirable to stick with your team even when they suck. I’ve been a loyal Seahawks fan since the 90s- I know all about that.
And Hochul is a retard. How embarrassing for her.

(@Fur_Baby_Mama) Wow I guess Starks Oakley Ewing Rivers Smith are still looking for their rings in the mail
What a stooge to think a man from Manhattan couldn’t be a Knicks fan and to not know they haven’t won since 1973
