We Like Spike
(washingtonpost.com)
-
To call Spike Lee a Knicks fan doesn't do him justice. Crazed fanatic is more like it. So it's a sacrifice for him to give up a courtside seat at Madison Square Garden on Oct. 30, when the Knicks play the Washington Wizards and returning hoopster Michael Jordan. He's doing that to raise money for the New York Fire Department's Widows' and Children's Fund.Not that Lee is giving up his own seat. Sacrifice, yes. Suffer, never. "Actually, it's my wife Tonya's seat," the movie director told us as the National Basketball Association commenced a two-week online auction of the prized place yesterday on NBA.com. The high bid at deadline time was $20,000. "It's not only a seat in the most famous arena in the world; we'll also get to go into the Wizards' locker room after the game and meet Michael and get an autograph." New Yorker Lee was in Los Angeles when terrorists destroyed the World Trade Center and killed more than 6,000 people there and at the Pentagon. "It was really an attack on all of us -- not just New York City, not just America, but the Free World," he said. "That night I came back home on Amtrak. I just don't fly anymore." In normal times a left-leaning critic of U.S. policy, Lee offered measured praise for President Bush. "I think he's done good so far," he said.
