At MSG For The NBA Draft: Hanging With Spike Lee
by: David Dominik
Thursday - 10:56
That was the coolest five minutes of my life.
New Knick Wilson Chandler just walked out of the Theater to make his way into the press room, with me standing about three feet away, following him step-by-step.
We made our way into the press room, where I had a VIP view of his first NBA press conference.
After the questions, he held up a white Knicks jersey that already had "Chandler" on the back, so it seems that Isiah Thomas knew all along that Wilson was his guy.
Then I followed Wilson to where the TV interviews were being held, hoping to get a few quick quotes for this blog. I got side-tracked, however, as I spotted my buddy Gus Johnson in the middle of chatting with Knicks superfan Spike Lee.
When they were done, Spike took hold of our mic, and ranted for MSG.com on the Draft and the state of the Knicks. The established director laughed at our choice of lighting and our amateur mini-cam, and I wonder if he intentionally froze on our call letters at the end of the rant.
Prepare yourself for the greatest video in MSG.com history:
Huge thanks to Spike!
When Spike finally gave us back our mic, Gus was more than willing to give his take on the night, and his always entertaining comments can be heard on a brand new CenterCourt podcast, coming soon to MSG.com.
