Knicks owner confirms championship celebration invite to White House while Seahawks visit on back burner

‘The Big Weekend Show’ co-hosts discuss President Donald Trump’s expected appearance at Knicks-Spurs Game 3 at Madison Square Garden.

The New York Knicks have received and accepted an invitation to visit the White House to celebrate their NBA championship, owner James Dolan confirmed Wednesday. Meanwhile, a Seattle Seahawks visit appears to be on the back burner months after the team won the Super Bowl.

"We just did receive an invitation from the White House, which we accepted," Dolan said on WFAN New York's "The Carton show." "Still have to figure out the details, but, yes, of course, I invited the president to come down to the game, right? He is a friend. I've known him for 30 years, and I'm very proud to bring the team to the White House."

President Donald Trump attended the Knicks' Game 3 loss to the San Antonio Spurs at Madison Square Garden. It turned out to be the only loss for the Knicks, who went on to win the NBA Championship Series 4-1.

The details of the Knicks' visit have yet to be finalized. As Dolan noted, that includes a date for the trip, the size of the traveling party and how many players will attend.

And while the White House got to work immediately on the Knicks visiting, the Seahawks visit is apparently another matter.

Seattle beat the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8, but the team visiting the White House for a celebration is in limbo.

"We don’t have anything to share at this time," the White House press office
