Spike Lee is perhaps the most
notorius Knicks fan ever and Reggie Miller is perhaps the biggest
Knicks arch-rival ever so it's only natural that these two should
have some history between them. Reggie has had some unforgettable
moments against the Knicks at MSG; scoring 25 points in the fourth
quarter in 1994 (Spike was taunting Reggie and Reggie kept draining
shot after shot and gave spike the choke sign where he wrapped
his hands around his neck and mocked the MSG crowd and in particular
Spike Lee - the newspaper headline the next day sarcastically
said "Thanks A Lot Spike"), or how about his 8 points
in the final 9 seconds of the game in 1995, and there was also
his 34 point outburst in 2000 when he helped the Pacers clinch
the series. Each game Spike and Reggie would exchange taunts with
each other and when Miller time took over you could be sure to
see Reggie jawing away at Spike. Before one playoff game Spike
and Reggie made a bet. The Pacers lost the bet and Reggie had
to go with Spike to visit Mike Tyson in jail. After Reggie's retirement
Spike had some complimentary things to say about Reggie and commented
that their feud only pertained to basketball and was not personal.
