Legendary director and New York Knicks super fan Spike Lee got into a heated argument with Madison Square Garden security on Monday night as he was denied entry to the venue to watch the Knicks play the Houston Rockets.
The exchange was caught on video, and Lee sounds pretty upset.
You can hear Lee yelling, “No one told me!” at security, and then he makes a reference to Charles Oakley, the former Knicks player who was ejected from Madison Square Garden in 2017 and led away in handcuffs after alleged “inappropriate” behavior.

Lee did make it into the Garden for the game, and was sitting in his normal courtside seat.
