Spike Lee spotlit at Knicks title celebrations

I agree. Spike deserves it over all.This from a celtics fan 😆

I’ve always suspected he started making movies just so he could afford court side seats..

That is a real die hard fan. Give this man his flowers. 🙌🏻

It was Spike’s visit to Pope Leo that did it. 🤣

My heart leapt for joy for Spike Lee the second it was realized that the Knicks WON! He had waited for so long and he finally got it!

Ben Stiller, too. When I first joined Bluesky in 2024, every other post I saw was something from him about a Knicks game. Happy for these folks that have been there supporting their team through it all.

Two incredibly cool things I learned recently about Spike’s tickets. He’s been paying for season tickets since the ‘80s because if he took the free celebrity ones, he’d have to act a certain way.

I met Spike Lee at the DFW airport in the 90s. I was in Class B uniform as a young soldier. I told him I liked his movies, he smiled and said thank you and shook my hand. Really no point to this story other than that’s really my only interaction with a celebrity, ever.

I'm not even a NBA fan, but when I heard the Knicks won, I was so happy for Spike Lee.

He is genuine. When the Nets moved to Brooklyn, he was asked if he was going to become a Nets fan. He said he would have if the Knicks didn't exist, but he grew up wearing blue and orange, watching Reed, Frazier, and DeBusschere, so he would always be a Knicks fan.

Can vouch. He was scheduled to give a talk at my school and rescheduled because there was a Nicks game on the date of the talk. I think was 1997? 1998?

Great filmmaker. Annoying fan who constantly tries to insert himself into the game. Cheer, Spike, but remember, you’re just one of the people on the sidelines.

He's earned so much, but nothing more than this.

He should get a championship ring and a place in the parade.

He was absolutely giddy. He was virtually speechless. Endorphins galore. It is like he won the Academy Award of Basketball himself.

41 years of showing up. That’s not fandom, that’s commitment. Congratulations, Spike👏

Best Seats In The House is a terrific book long overdue for a new afterword!

Respect for Spike—the ultimate NON fair-weather fan 🏀 !

Nope, these rich famous people are not "more of a fan" than anyone else.

It’s rare to see Spike Lee truly happy.

Mo’ Better Blues & Orange went out and finally got Spike that damn Ring! Congrats Knicks fans. It has been a long time coming to type that.

Like Jack Nicholson and his beloved L.A. Lakers! We Love Your Devotion!

His watch is over. He can finally rest

Spike Lee is for real a true Knicks fan. You can tell he is a fan of the sport and the team, not just a poser.

Ha! My instincts were correct My poor eyesight thought it was Spike Lee in a Knicks gif And it was ! Congratulations to the athletes & the fans Many of whom waited longer than the athletes lifetime for this championship!

It's always beautiful when someone's faith is rewarded.

Wow. I am super thrilled for him. That is a dedicated fan right there 👏 👏👏

Trevor Smith3

Love this. The pure joy 😆 the expression is “little kid meeting Santa”

Jack The Cat3

The Patriots Celtics and Bruins had already won championships but I cried my eyes out when the Red Sox finally won after 86 years

Spike deserves to be riding one of the floats on Thursday! #superfan

FilmAlicia3

I’m sure he is a very happy man, today.

I've been a Spike leye fan a lot longer than a Wembenyama fan, so I support this. Also, I like the knick players.

CONGRATULATIONS NEW YORK KNICKS! CELEBRATE TILL AND CHANGE trump tower to KNICKS HOUSE!

I didn’t even want the Nicks to win but it is do nice to see so much joy and positive energy and celebration from so many people.

Hopefully, Spike will construct an exquisite black onyx structure (adjacent to what Trump is constructing to showcase himself?) and exhibit his sports memorabilia and sport collections. Spike should charge a nominal entry fee for seniors and grant schoolchildren and youngsters free admission.

Love this for all of the die hard fans. The ones who have been watching since before the last championship. Ones who could never afford to go to a game. Stuck with them every season. Watched every game on tv with their kids, grand kids and great grandkids. I love this especially for those fans

Jiminy1232

That’s what I thought when this series began : win it for Spike before he dies!!

Adrienne2

Good things come to those who wait.

proof that perseverance ultimately beats fruit

Deserves this win, congrats Spike!

Must be nice to have all the money in the world to sit at a basketball game paying thousands of dollars and not caring about people who don't have food or can't pay their medical bills. I think some of those people are long suffering.

I saw him hand out Knicks merchandise to fans for free. That’s a pretty decent thing to do. 👏

Spike was there when Reggie Miller killed the Knicks in just 8.7 seconds. Spike and The Knicks have a memory to replace that
