The back-and-forth between the New York Knicks and Knicks superfan Spike Lee continued, with the team issuing the following statement this afternoon:
“The idea that Spike Lee is a victim because we have repeatedly asked him to not use our employee entrance and instead use a dedicated VIP entrance – which is used by every other celebrity who enters The Garden – is laughable. It’s disappointing that Spike would create this false controversy to perpetuate drama. He is welcome to come to The Garden anytime via the VIP or general entrance; just not through our employee entrance, which is what he and Jim agreed to last night when they shook hands.”
Along with the above statement, the Knicks also included a photo from yesterday showing Lee and Knicks owner James Dolan shaking hands.
On an ESPN TV appearance today, Lee said he’s done attending Knicks games for the season. But perhaps cooler heads will prevail.
Lee is easily the Knicks’ most famous and loyal fan.
