What's your most memorable conversation with a player during a game?
This is really surprising, and this is all true. The only time that it's ever really gotten nasty was with Reggie Miller. But we were friends before that and we've been friends since then. When I go to the games, it's to have fun. I'm respectful. If I say a player missed a shot, that's not talking about your mother, your family; it's all good nature. The players enjoy talking to me and I enjoy talking to them.

But this last time against Boston -- you know that game where they disallowed Stoudemire’s three? -- Kevin Garnett lost it. He was cursing me out for no reason. Maybe because Stoudemire gave him 39 points, but take that vulgarity to Stoudemire. I'm not holding you and I did not even say [profane] to Garnett the whole game. That really surprised me. He lost it. He was cursing at me the whole game. He needs to calm the [profane] down.

Well, you know what? It came back to bite him in the butt because STAT is starting for the East in the All-Star Game and KG is not.
Next time they come -- [Spike checks the Knicks schedule] -- is on March 21st. So look, I don't like the Celtics, but I respect Doc [Rivers]. Doc's a good friend. You know I love Ray Allen. I hate the Celtics, but look, they've got good guys on that team. I've got friends on that team. Nate’s on the team. But Garnett needs to calm the [profane] down. There's no reason he should be cursing at me the way he did the last game. So you can put that in the article. It was disrespectful and I would never do nothing like that to him.

That's crazy. Garnett has definitely had his share of temper tantrums -- no question about that.
I'm not even playing and I didn't say nothing to him the whole game anyway. So if you're mad, start cursing out STAT, Stoudemire. But you're not going to do that [profane] because Stoudemire’s not going to take it. So he cursed at me and I’m 5-6½, 150. What he was saying was worse than Reggie Miller. It was uncalled for.

So this little gimp who yells and screams on the sidelines and gets into arguments with players only to be embarrassed by them has a problem with KG?  Something tells me this genius doesn't know the term hypocrite.

Remember when Spike ran out into the court and was taunting the Celtics after he thought Amares shot counted.

That was awesome and funny....and weird that he could just run out on the court like that

That is exactly what he is doing. This year is the year of 'Hide behind interviews and Tweets and take shots at KG'

Even if you don’t like KG’s behavior on the court, you got to respect that fact that he believes in what he does.
On the other hand it looks like all the KG haters are just looking for publicity and something to tweet about.
While KG can separate between his on court behavior and real life,  others can’t.

what did kg say?

"your documentary on Kobe sucked and you haven't been relevant since the 90's"

or maybe he asked spike if he stands by a bridge and demands a toll from all who pass.

Exactly. KG keeps it on court or at least not past an interview right after the game. It is the right thing to do but now apparently weeks after things happen we have to read interviews and tweets. KG is doing a superb job of getting into players heads, they can't forget him even weeks later.

I heard someone on the radio calling Spike Lee a "spoiled little rich kid" ... but isn't the dude like 50?

I wanted to call in and say that, but instead posted it here.

spike lee hates all things boston. that's just who he is.

  Key point being "haven't been relevant since the 90's". We're looking at an attention grab by someone who's only exposure is as a superfan of a team that hasn't been relevant since, coincidentally, the mid-90s.

I heard that too and thought the commentor (either Fred Smirlois or Steve Diasi not sure which one) sounded like an idiot.  I think what he meant was Spike didn't come from the streets, but was in fact of upperclass upbringing, not sure what that brings to the table in the argument, but again sounded ignorant imo

Personally Spike is one of my favorite directors - Do the Right Thing one of my favorite films of all time, can't hate He Got Game either =) he's more often hit than miss and almost always makes stunning social commentary in his films.

oh you mean that game, when he was running and jumping around on the court like a little blue and orange pixie.  Thats the game he didnt do anything to instigate any behavior from Garnett.

This was CLEARLY as disrespectful as Spike is making it out to be seeing as how he's waited about a month to talk about it.
