Last Year, Spike Lee said that he wouldn’t attend any games for the rest of the season after a quarrel with the CEO of Madison Square Garden Sports and Madison Square Garden Entertainment James Dolan and Garden security over him using the wrong entrance at a game. Despite this controversy, Lee is still one of the biggest Knicks fans.
