Instead, Goldberg framed a White House visit as an opportunity for the players themselves to send a message by simply showing up as champions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The debate comes as the Knicks weigh whether to participate in one of sports&#8217; longest-standing traditions. Several championship teams across professional sports have skipped White House visits in recent years amid political controversies, and NBA teams in particular have had a rocky relationship with Trump dating back to his first term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hostin noted that Knicks players have already been asked about the possibility, with guard Jose Alvarado reportedly saying he would follow whatever decision the team ultimately makes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sarah Haines echoed Goldberg&#8217;s point, arguing that the visual contrast itself could be powerful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;Why don&#8217;t you show up and show them what real men look like?&#8221; Haines said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether the Knicks ultimately accept the invitation remains to be seen.
