Fans of the New York Knicks are telling President Donald Trump, who once called New York his home, to "stay home" instead of attending Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night, according to a new report.

MS NOW's Laura Haefeli spoke with several Knicks fans in New York on Sunday after it was announced that the team's watch party was canceled because of Trump's attendance at the game. The Knicks, in conjunction with the New York Police Department and the Secret Service, decided to cancel the event, which was scheduled to be held near Madison Square Garden. Instead, the parties will be held in Central Park and in Brooklyn, miles away from the arena.

Knicks fans who spoke with Haefeli expressed frustration and consternation over the decision to cancel the watch parties near MSG.

"Please, Mr. Trump, stay home," one Knicks fan said. "Do not jinx my Knicks because no McDonagh in the next 100 years will vote Republican. Just like we haven't voted Republican since the 1950s."

"Enjoy being in New York. Enjoy the stadium. Don't be too much of a distraction, and let's keep everything about what's important, and that's Knicks basketball," another fan said.

"It's going to be impossible to get on this block," another fan told Haefeli outside of MSG. "It's going to be a long walk in for a lot of these fans. It's going to be hard for them to get in. But you know what? That's what's going to need to happen to keep everybody in there safe. You know, I get it. It's going to be a pain for a lot of people to get in there."
