Donald Trump US President - June 14, 1946 - Videos

June 14, US Flag Day, marks a historic moment in Washington, D.C. as Trump celebrates his 80th birthday on the White House South Lawn by hosting UFC Freedom 250. A massive, 600-ton steel arch and a 4,000-seat outdoor stadium have been built on the South Lawn of the White House, turning the presidential grounds into an official sports arena. The fights serve as a kickoff for America's 250th semiquincentennial anniversary celebrations.

While previewing the massive arena (dubbed "The Claw"), Trump said, "We're building something in front of the White House that's quite attractive to a lot of people. Maybe we'll never ever take it down! You're about to see something you've never seen before - all of the best fighters standing right behind me and they are all champions. It will be the Greatest show on Earth."

I was out and about today talking to people about the NBA Finals. I can't remember the last time I saw so many New Yorkers in complete agreement about anything. Everyone believed the Knicks would win the NBA championship. The only question was whether it would happen in Game 5 in San Antonio or back home at Madison Square Garden in Game 6

While most of us wanted the Knicks to finish the series Saturday night, many secretly imagined how much more exciting it would be to celebrate a championship in New York City. My daughter Nikki and her husband, along with several people I know, had already purchased tickets for Game 6. Still, when the Knicks won, it didn't matter when or where it happened. A championship is a championship.

At 8:30 PM, I settled in to watch the game but drifted off to sleep, figuring I could catch the final score and highlights in the morning or simply watch the recording later.

At 11:30 PM, Z woke me up and said I must put on the game. I assumed that it had finished since three hours had passed, but when I turned on the TV, I was surprised to see that the game was still going on with 8.8 seconds to go! Wide awake, I stayed up and watched the end of the game and some of the post-game show. All of the energy made it hard to get back to sleep.

I love NY moments.

Throughout the playoffs, the energy seemed to be with the Knicks, and with the exception of Game 3 - they did not disappointed. Along the way we learned about the players, the coaches, the owner, the celebrity fans, the watch parties, and the passion that makes New York unlike any other sports city in the world.

The only people I know who attended a Game 5 watch party were my grandson, Noah, and several of his friends who traveled to Manhattan from Connecticut.

They discovered a city buzzing not only with Knicks watch parties, but also with excitement surrounding the FIFA World Cup match being played across the Hudson River at MetLife Stadium - called "New York New Jersey Stadium" during the World Cup. The thrilling game was between Brazil and Morocco - aending in a 1-1 draw.

Meanwhile, back in San Antonio, home of the Spurs, the moment Knicks fans had been waiting for more than half a century finally arrived. As the clock ticked down to zero, years of frustration, heartbreak, and unrealized dreams melted away.

The final buzzer unleashed a wave of emotion that swept from Texas to New York City and beyond. Players embraced, fans cried, and generations of Knicks supporters celebrated a championship they feared they might never see again.

The New York Knicks are NBA champions for the first time since 1973. In another remarkable fourth-quarter comeback, they defeated the San Antonio Spurs 94-90 to capture the series four games to one.

The Knicks trailed by as many as 16 points and were still down by nine early in the fourth quarter before rallying behind the brilliance and determination of Jalen Brunson.

The tears after the final buzzer said everything. They reflected what the victory meant not only to the players but to an entire city and generations of fans who had endured decades of frustration, disappointment, and near misses.

As the final seconds ticked away, years of heartbreak gave way to pure joy. Inside Frost Bank Center, the roar of Knicks fans sounded more like Times Square on New Year's Eve than an opposing arena hundreds of miles from home.

The comeback itself felt symbolic. A franchise that had spent decades trying to reclaim its place among basketball's elite found a way to rise again. Just days after producing one of the greatest rallies in NBA Finals history, the Knicks delivered one more unforgettable performance. Jalen Brunson scored 45 points, carrying New York through the second half and into basketball immortality.

Brunson was overcome with emotion after the game, struggling to answer when ESPN asked what the moment meant to him. Through tears he quietly replied, "Everything I ever dreamed of." He was named the Bill Russell NBA Finals Most Valuable Player.

For one night, every corner of New York seemed united. Fifty-three years of waiting were over. The Knicks were champions once again.

On to the parade Thursday, June 18, 2026, in Manhattan along the Canyon of Heroes, followed by a City Hall ceremony where the team will receive Keys to the City.

Congratulations!
