With the Knicks into the second round of the playoffs for the first time in 10 years, their fans are back and as brash as ever. “They may get down in the season, but come the offseason, they pump themselves back up to see a pathway toward success.” “The most amazing thing about Knick fans, to me, is they come and support and treat every game like it’s a Game 7, and there’s a fanaticism with Knick fans and also incredible optimism,” former Knicks coach Jeff Van Gundy said. Not when they always held the belief that New York was the epicenter of the basketball world, where Lew Alcindor (later Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) and Julius Erving honed their games at Rucker Park, was home of the most special arena, and that someday everything would come together - even though it’s now 50 years since it last did. The ineptitude would occasionally quiet their fans – even Spike Lee briefly gave up going to watch them – but never completely drive them away.

Lottery luck would elude the Knicks and so would the marquee free agents, ensuring that the Knicks could never win for losing. Losses piled up like rush hour traffic on the bridges and tunnels, and the most painful defeats sometimes followed the seasons.
The 2000s have been a mostly miserable time for the franchise and its fans. Kevin Durant not only passed on the New York Knicks, but he chose the other team in their city, allowing him to torment them from a few miles across the river. NEW YORK (AP) - LeBron James for years professed his love for Madison Square Garden, then declined the chance to make it his home. There’s no orange and blue without the ‘He Got Game’ of Ewing, Oakley or Spike.The Knicks are advancing to the 2nd round for the first time in 10 years. faithful have just shown where their loyalties lie. We know what the real virus is and it’s time to nip it at the bud. Have they not learnt from the disgrace of the Charles Oakley situation? Many in The Garden will blame last nights attendance on Corona concerns, but the Knicks’ faithful have put up with worse. And this is how they repay him? By showing him the door and harassing him? It’s time to do the right thing and keep this man inside. Spike Lee has been with the Knicks’ through thick and thin. But Spike can’t continue to use the employee one? He was probably moved about the Forum Club in underground tunnels back in the day like he was Jack Kennedy. Some may say this is all trite over something as pretentious as a VIP entrance, but this is what Spike has been doing for decades now. Even more than Lakers Hollywood favourite ‘Shining’ in those sunglasses courtside, Jack Nicholson. Spike Lee is arguably the NBA’s most famous fan, let alone the stinkin’ Knicks’. This lack of understanding and decency is what makes one of the NBA’s most famous franchises (now for all the wrong reasons) the actual laughing stock of the league. The Mecca is turning into the crapper as to add insult injury to the Knicks’ PR team tweeted that Lee’s accusations of mistreatment was “laughable”. Now Dolan has treated him like a parasite or like he did another Knick icon Oakley, this is another black eye for the bruised big apple of the Knicks’. who had their lowest attendance turnout in an unlucky for them 13 years, following the ‘BlackKklansman’ directors worst treatment since the Oscars passed up his Best Picture. Leading a charge for the usual sold out despite the s# show M.S.G. Not one of the franchise cornerstones sitting courtside like the unofficial Sixth Man no more, for at least this season in protest. I’m not saying James Dolan is like Donald Sterling, but this owner like another Donald needs to be the furthest away from a Spalding right now.
I can only imagine what it did to the man himself as he was manhandled and escorted out the building he helped build like the way he used to treat offensive players he defended. How he treated Knicks’ legend, New York forever through and through Charles Oakley last year was beyond pathetic…it was tragic.

I know Spike Lee has had beef with everybody in the who’s who of Hollywood (Quentin Tarantino, the ‘Green Book’ movie that wasn’t his cup of tea). I know this all seems like walking distance to some, but to others it smacks of racism.
