Spike Lee names his Top 5 New York Knicks villains: "He rolled the dice and nobody did nothing"
Academy Award-winning film director Spike Lee first became a New York Knicks season ticket holder after the Knickerbockers drafted Patrick Ewing first overall in the 1985 NBA Draft. Since then, he's been a regular at The Garden and has seen every opponent the Kicks have faced at the Mecca. During a recent appearance on Carmelo Anthony's "7PM in Brooklyn" podcast, Lee enumerated his Top 5 all-time Knicks villains, and Spike's answers did not disappoint. Advertisement "You got Reggie Miller. You got Mike. You heard it. That double-nickel game, goddamn!" began Lee. He rolled the dice Miller's name coming out of Spike's mouth first was no surprise. It was toward Spike where Reggie made the iconic 'choke' gesture after dropping 25 points in the 4th quarter of a 1994 playoff game against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden. Then as he mentioned, MJ's double-nickel game is one of the best performances by an opponent at the Mecca. Spike also mentioned LeBron James and Kobe Bryant before seemingly running out of names. But when Melo and his co-host Kazeem Fayumide asked him about a current villain named Trae Young, who plays for the Atlanta Hawks, the "He Got Game" film director nodded in approval and became animated while recalling Young's celebration after the Hawks beat the Knicks in the quarterfinals of the 2024 In-Season Tournament. Advertisement "He's a villain ... and he plays into that," Lee told Anthony. "He rolled the dice and Nobody did nothing! ... You know what the Knicks said? They said 'We didn't see him do that.' I don't believe that ... No, that would not have happened with some other Knick teams. Xavier McDaniel? Oakley? Them guys? On the logo, at midcourt! Nobody did nothing!" It all started in the 2021 Playoffs Ice Trae first earned the ire of Knicks fans when his Hawks faced the Knicks in the 2021 NBA playoffs. In his first-ever playoff appearance in Game 1, Young scored 32 points, issued 10 assists, and grabbed 7 rebounds. He hit a running shot with 0.9 left in the game to beat the Knicks and then told the Garden crowd to 'be quiet' after they were chanting "Fu** Trae Young" throughout the game. Advertisement The beef between Knicks fans and Young continued throughout that series. But Trae had the last laugh when hit a 32-foot 3-pointer with 43 seconds left to ice the game. He bowed at center court and waved goodbyes to the stunned MSG crowd. The hostility continued after that but it wasn't until "Ice Trae" rolled the dice to signify his team advancing to the Las Vegas semifinals of the IST that Knicks fans like Spike rekindled the hate again. But as Lee said, it wasn't so much about Young disrespecting the Knicks logo but about the team doing nothing about it. It can be recalled that all Knicks captain Jalen Brunson had to say after the game was if they didn't want to see Trae do what he did, they should've won the game. That reply was politically correct. However, for die hard Knicks fans like Lee and Melo, the players shouldn't tolerate invaders trampling the 'flag of New York.'

Charles Barkley roasted Spike Lee for saying he'd give up an Oscar for a Knicks title win
Charles Barkley roasted Spike Lee for saying he'd give up an Oscar for a Knicks title win The New York Knights were in the fight for their season on Thursday night in Game 5 of their NBA playoff series against the Indiana Pacers, and mega-fan Spike Lee was in attendance at Madison Square Garden to cheer on his favorite team. As he joined the Inside the NBA crew before the game, Lee admitted he'd really give up one of his Academy Awards for New York to win a championship. That's a big deal for an all-time auteur like Lee to say! However, Charles Barkley made sure to get a dig in at his Capital One commercial co-star and his odds of giving up that Oscar for a New York championship any time soon. "Well, you're gonna keep 'em," Barkley said to Lee, who got a big kick out of the former's snarky retort. Lee has given us so many great films over the years, so maybe he'll get a Knicks championship one day in return for all the phenomenal cinema he has contributed to the world. Until then, we're sure Barkley will have fun trolling him over the lack of recent New York rings.

The hottest stars had prime real estate on celebrity row at Madison Square Garden for Game 5 of the Knicks-Pacers Eastern Conference finals on Thursday night. The stars were on hand to watch the home team's quest to keep their season alive and bounce back from a 3-1 series hole. Knicks superfans Timothée Chalamet, Ben Stiller, Spike Lee and Tracy Morgan were all courtside to support them for what many have said is the biggest game in team history.

Advertisement The coveted courtside seats are typically reserved for A-listers and Knicks diehards, former Knicks PR chief and media consultant Joe Favorito told The Post. The attention around the celebrity presence tends be heightened in New York partly because of the history of celebrity row and the legacy of The Garden. Others aren't concentrated on the celebs in the building, including Boomer Esiason. On his radio show Tuesday morning, Esiason explained that the Knicks play better on the road than they do at home because they 'hate' playing in front of the famous court side crowd. 'I think they're just sick and tired of all the goddamn celebrities at home,' he said. 'They hate playing in front of these people, and they'd just rather get away from all of that and go play. Go play defense and figure out a way to win on the road. There's something to be said about that. When you go on the road, it's you and your teammates. That's it.' The Knicks will have the home crowd rallying behind in them in a do-or-die Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals for them. Advertisement The Pacers have two-time All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton, who's been clutch in closing moments throughout the series. The winner will face the Western Conference champion Thunder in the 2025 NBA Finals, beginning Thursday, June 5 in Oklahoma City, and airing on ABC.
