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.
