Matthew Roberts+FollowKnicks finally hang a new banner for Spike Lee’s lifetime of fandomSpike Lee has literally spent his whole life staring at Knicks banners. He was a kid when New York won titles in 1970 and 1973 — the last time the franchise hung an NBA championship flag in Madison Square Garden. Over the years he went so deep into his fandom that he even tracked down and bought the original 1970 championship banner that used to hang in the Garden, calling it the Knicks’ “Holy Grail.” Now, after more than half a century, the Knicks finally raised something new: the 2025 NBA Cup banner, after beating Wemby’s Spurs 124–113 in Vegas. Say what you want about the NBA Cup, but for a guy who’s been courtside through every high and low, “Spike Lee waited 53 years for the Knicks to hang a new flag” feels pretty special. #Knicks #SpikeLee #NBACup #NewBanner #NBA #NewYork #Spikelee 10Share
