He's a big part of the modern Knicks brand, always sitting courtside and the stories regarding him and the Pacers, he got in that smack battle with Miller in 94 in the Garden, Pacers beat the Knicks, and the media blamed Spike, no other superfan of a team moves the needle in terms of national opinion like Spike with the Knicks not even Jack Nicholson with the Lakers

That was 26 years ago

So? One of the most memorable moments in NBA history and involved a famous non-player, no other famous non-players make this impact where it moves the national needle and his courtside attendance is a staple of the franchise and the MSG experience. It's like a homily in mass, it's essential: you cannot have a Knicks home game without Marv Albert announcing it and Spike Lee attending on the sidelines. It's like I'm talking to morons who live under rocks, it's absurd.

There isn’t a player on the Knicks that gets that coverage.
