Lee told CNN about the jersey earlier in the day on Monday, explaining: “I gave him one signed by me and I gave him another for him to sign.
It came back two months later—but it was signed!
“ Lee, 69, said he had worn the jersey once before during the Knicks’ playoff run: at a first-round game against the Atlanta Hawks.filmmaker said he’s planning on wearing it to Game 4 of the NBA Finals as well. By then, the Knicks will either be up 2-1 over the San Antonio Spurs, or they will be in a position to sweep them to win the title.
While speaking to CNN, Lee also criticized Trump, 79, for taking some of the focus away from Game 3 with his attendance. Trump prompted heightened security around Madison Square Garden, delaying entry for thousands of fans and forcing the closure of several blocks to vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Players have also had to field questions about the president watching them play.
Lee, whose Knicks fandom is well documented, told CNN that Trump’s presence was all a needless distraction from the game.
“I can‘t speak for all disciples. But, I just find it strange that this had to happen now,” he said.
“You’ve got to get there two hours early. I mean... it‘s taking the focus off. We haven’t won since 1973! It should be about the game tonight. ”
