It's honestly really hard to believe. Even with standards for the Knicks being what they are, I never thought they'd actually resort to beefing with Spike Lee. Yes, that Spike Lee.
In many ways the Academy Award winning director is the face of the franchise. The man has repped that sorry team with pride. You know how you can tell he's been associated with Madison Square Garden for a long time? He's been front and center there since the last time the Knicks were good! (They've won one playoff series since I graduated from high school.)
Of course none of us should have reasonably expected Knicks owner James Dolan to do the right thing.
