You know how you know when you’ve made it with the Knicks? When Spike Lee celebrates your plays, you’ve made it.
Lee, a lifelong New Yorker and (therefore frustrated) Knicks fan, was most famous basketball wise for his antics with former Indiana Pacer Reggie Miller, who gave it right back to him.
Lately he hasn’t had a lot of fun in the Garden though but Sunday, when former Blue Devil RJ Barrett took a pass from Derrick Rose and dunked all over Atlanta’s Bogdan Bogdanovic, Lee lost it.
You can't blame him really. It’s been awhile since New York has had much excitement with the Knicks, and Barrett’s work ethic has a lot to do with why this team has turned around.
