Nevertheless, New York City native and self-proclaimed Knicks fan Michael Rapaport believes adding someone of a certain stature could bolster the team's roster.
Rapaport declared Barron Trump, 18, as the "star" of Monday's presidential inauguration before urging the Knicks to consider signing the teen to a 10-day contract.
Robinson, who is listed as 7 feet and 240 pounds, has yet to appear in a game this season due to an ankle injury. However, the Knicks are hopeful the center will be able to make his debut at some point in February.
Barron is President Trump's youngest son. When he was 10 years old, Barron Trump became the first first son to reside in the White House since John F. Kennedy Jr. in 1961.
Barron, who turned 11 in March 2017, also lived at Trump Tower in New York, attending Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School on the Upper West Side. Barron was 13 years old when his family permanently relocated to Mar-a-Lago in 2019. That year, Trump said he would have a "hard time" allowing his son to play football.
"I just don't like the reports that I see coming out having to do with football - I mean, it's a dangerous sport and I think it's really tough," Trump said at the time. "I thought the equipment would get better, and it has. The helmets have gotten far better, but it hasn't solved the problem."
Barron Trump was 14 years old when his father left office in January 2021.
