On Oscar Night, Spike Lee Shows Up At Knicks Game Sporting Gold Jordans

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Spike Lee was honored at the Academy Awards on Sunday night, but, true to his word, he didn’t show up. He did, however, make quite the appearance at Madison Square Garden.

Sporting a black tuxedo and gold-colored Air Jordans, Lee took in the Knicks game against Miami with his wife, Tonya Lewis Lee.

Upset over the lack of diversity among this year’s Oscar nominees, Spike Lee vowed to skip the event, where he is normally a fixture.
