Oscar-Winning Knicks Superfan Taunts Trump With Jersey

Knicks fan Spike Lee wore his signed Pope Leo jersey to Game 3 of the NBA Finals—within sight of President Donald Trump.

Lee was spotted courtside Monday night in the #14 jersey that he had signed by the first American pope, who has repeatedly butted heads with the president over his immigration policies. Vice President JD Vance, an adult Catholic convert, also felt the need to try to explain theology to the pope earlier this year.

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!“

“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 [a championship] since 1973! It should be about the game tonight.”

Sadly, trump had to disrupt their day to make it about himself and then the sick old man fell asleep.

I am not a huge sports person, though very sad they lost.
