The New York Knicks have to ask fans to show up two hours before the start of Game 3 of the NBA finals, all thanks to Trump.

In a social media post, the basketball team laid out security measures at its home court in Madison Square Garden to accommodate Trump, who plans to attend.

Attendees are "strongly encouraged to arrive at least two hours before tip-off" to get through "TSA-style screening procedures," the Knicks cautioned.

"Madison Square Garden and the United States Secret Service want to help ensure a safe and enjoyable experience," the Knicks wrote. "A strict no-bag policy will be in effect, and fans should make every effort to limit personal items to an absolute minimum."

The team warned, "There will be no storage available for prohibited items brought to the venue."

Former GOP insider and lawyer George Conway joked in a post that fans can still "bring your middle fingers."

The team currently has a two-game lead against the San Antonio Spurs.
