Knicks(Spike Lee) vs Lakers (Jack Nicholson)

Spike Lee or Jack Nicholson, who's the bigger fan?

Jack has been a loyal court side season ticket holder for more than three decades, he was featured as NBA.com's #1 in Top Celebrity Lakers fan in 2007. Mr. Nicholson has been involved with this team since before the Showtime Lakers of Magic, Worthy, and Kareem. He's respected by everyone in the Lakers Organization,
"He's been a good friend of mine ... for years," Pat Riley said, "and it's borne out of basketball more than anything else. He's simply a fanatic and has been ever since I started my career with the Lakers in 1970.
"He's a real fan. He's not one of these actors that all of a sudden get front row seats and then they're gone. He's for real. He cares."


Every real Knicks fan out there already knows Spike Lee is the biggest Knicks supporter ever. He's been attending games since the championship teams of the 70's, and has worked his way from regular MSG visits, to upper level season tickets, to what we now consider the celebrity row or "Spike Seats" at the Garden. Jay-Z has a famous rhyme mentioning Spike and his seats at the Garden("Next to Spike and comparing left to right").Even  ESPN featured the director in a 30 for 30 documentary discussing the impact of Spike and the Knicks vs Reggie Miller. This season he's been traveing on the road with the team like local beat writer, or aspiring blogger(myself).


The new look Knicks play the reigning champion Lakers tonight but the real match up to look out for is Spike vs Jack...

Knicks January Preview

On paper(or internet nowadays) December's schedule looked very tough for the Knicks but January may be the real measuring stick for this team. The Knicks will be hosting a few home games against the NBA's elite(Miami, San Antonio) and will have a tough road schedule. Primarily in the West with the Lakers, Thunder, Trailblazers, Spurs, Jazz, and Rockets. These teams have a combined 77 and 27 home records, Spurs are the best of the bunch at 19 and 2.

Recent history has told us that the Knicks can win in the west, breaking out of a 3 & 8 slump. They went on to win three straight in the west beating the Kings, Warriors, and Clippers. Unfortunately for the Knicks they will only play one of these teams this trip(Kings). They got a jump on the January schedule beating the Pacers yesterday(1/2/11) 98 to 92. These next 14 games could be the turning point of the Knicks season, there currently the 6th seed in the East and need to stay in the playoff hunt come All-Star break.

First up is the Spurs tomorrow night at MSG: Here's Tony Parker Post Practice Interview 1/2/11
