The team also tweeted a photo of Lee and Dolan appearing to shake hands, in response to Lee’s claim to ESPN they didn’t do that.Īs a result of all of this, Lee said he would no longer attend any Knicks game for the season. “It’s disappointing that Spike would create this false controversy to perpetuate drama,” the statement says. New York Knicks Statement on Spike Lee /19JcvhFKO7- NY_KnicksPR March 3, 2020 The team released a statement this morning following Lee’s comments, writing that the idea that Lee is a victim for being denied entry into the employee entrance is “laughable.” The employee entrance Lee frequents is on 33rd Street. And I said I’m not doing that,” Lee said on ESPN. “They wanted me to leave the Garden, walk outside … and come back on 31st Street. It immediately drew comparisons to the Garden’s treatment of former NBA star Charles Oakley, who was ejected and banned in February 2017.

You’d think that would be that, but it’s not. But suddenly, at last night’s game, they wouldn’t let him – security told him to use a different entrance. Really, it’s all he knows.Ī long time New York Knicks superfan, filmmaker Lee has been using it for 28 years, he explained this morning on ESPN.

Watching guys like Mike Sweetney and Travis Knight play basketball is akin to being waterboarded. And I'm no PhD, but that's around $9 million.Īnd it's not like the Knicks have been any good.
