New York Gov. Kathy Hochul attempted to cast doubt on President Trump's loyalty to the New York Knicks ahead of the NBA Finals. There was just one problem: her own basketball trivia was wrong.

Trump announced during a Cabinet meeting Wednesday that he plans to attend an NBA Finals game at Madison Square Garden, after Knicks owner James Dolan extended a personal invitation. The Knicks are heading to the Finals for the first time since 1999, having swept the Cleveland Cavaliers in four games. For a franchise that hasn't won a championship since 1973, the moment is historic, and the president wants to be there.

Hochul, apparently sensing an opportunity to needle Trump, offered a challenge. "I'd ask him to name the starting lineup of the 1993 Championship team and see how he does," the governor said.

The jab was meant to test whether Trump is a real fan or a bandwagon rider. But the Knicks didn't win a championship in 1993. The Chicago Bulls did. The Knicks reached the Finals the following year, the 1993, 94 season, and lost to the Houston Rockets. [conservativejournal]
