Why is Spike Lee, Academy Award-winning director, a New York Knicks fan?
The New York Knicks are making their first appearance in the Eastern Conference finals since 2000. This historic journey has not only reignited the passion of veteran Knicks fans but also attracted a new wave of supporters, uniting them in a shared sense of pride and excitement.
Among the most enthusiastic supporters is Spike Lee, a longtime leader of the Knicks fan base.
The film director is often seen in Knicks gear, sporting the standout orange and blue in some fashion, and he was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame as a superfan in October 2024.
Lee's commitment to the Knicks is unwavering, as he has been a season-ticket holder since 1985. His fandom, however, dates back to his childhood in Brooklyn. Lee has often shared that one of his most memorable moments as a Knicks fan was attending Game 7 of the 1970 NBA Finals when New York won its first championship.
