India will be hosting its first NBA game ever in less than two weeks when the Kings and Pacers play two preseason games on Oct. 4 and 5, and it sounds like President Donald Trump wants an invite.
"And very soon, India will have access to another world class American product -- NBA basketball. Wow, sounds good," Trump said Sunday at the Howdy Modi event in Houston, Texas. "Next week, thousands of people will gather in Mumbai to watch the first-ever NBA basketball game in India.
"Am I invited Mr. Prime Minister? I may come. Be careful, I may come."
