Spike Lee has sat in same seat at Knicks games since 1990.

Sometime around when he produced the Boyz in the Hood movie..
Lee, in fact, did not produce Boyz N The Hood. It was actually made as a quasi revenge film TOWARD him. John Singleton wanted to be a production assistant on Do The Right Thing, but didn't get the position. He then decided to make BNTH.

True story.
 
Sad to hear he's become a recluse.
Last I read, he's in pretty bad shape. One of the all time greats, if not THE all time great. One of my top TOP favorites. Sad to read that some sort of dementia was setting in with him. At least that's what I read, along with the recluse bit, as well.

Dang, if I remember correctly that’s the vehicle that I “borrowed “ for @InVOLuntary , @BaldBiker, @Orangeredblooded and me to be able to see Neyland absolutely destroy the powerhouse vandy team (he was the giant killer back then). Had to admit that I even got a little nervous when Cafego jumped onto the roof from the team bus and car surfed all the way to Cookeville after the shellacking Tennessee gave vandy!
If you look closely at the roof, you may still be able to see his footprints!

Get ready to car surf like Cafego this year VN!

Another thing to remember about Bernard King, all you old timers know...there's no telling how good he could have truly been, if he didn't have his demons. Drugs, and especially alcohol, took away from him. Hell, at UT, he had already developed alcoholism by the time he graduated...just think what his numbers could have been in college, if he had devoted his drinking time to his game, they would be unapproachable.

So true…..my brother in law actually coached him in the pros. Some of the stories are “interesting”. Still love Bernard and always will.
 
Read this in my devotional today and it spoke to me:

Ephesians 1:7 “He is so rich in kindness that he purchased our freedom through the blood of his Son, and our sins are forgiven”

Colossians 1:14 “God has purchased our freedom with his blood and has forgiven all our sins”

“No matter how terrible your past, or how many sins you have committed, if you approach God with an attitude of humble sincerity and confess your sins, he will forgive you. To think that some of your sins are ‘too bad’ to be forgiven is to minimize the power of Jesus’ death and resurrection on your behalf.”
 
Guys I’m gonna kinda open up a bit here. Last April I suffered a supposed concussion. And I really haven’t been the same since. In July I started seeing static in my vision and ultimately it seems like I’ve developed something called Visual Snow Syndrome. There are no definitive treatments for it at this time. It’s been kinda hell living with it and trying to adapt to it. It’s exhausting. I won’t go into much more detail at what I have to put up with every day, but wonky visuals, no energy, and daily migraines are just the surface of it.

I just ask for prayers. In surviving but I miss living.
The loss of something we take for granted is often devastating. I will pray for you.
 
Happy Friday everyone.

March 1, 2024: Make your plans, but hold them loosely. I see the thoughts and intentions of your heart, but only I know your future, says the Lord. Dwelling on what you think might happen or dreading what could happen is a waste of time and energy. You live one breath at a time; take life as it comes knowing that I am with you all the way. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
 
Auburn will have him so locked down.... That said, it occurred to me last night that Barnes and Pearl have made each other better. Who woulda thought we'd finally see a Barnes team with a scorer and a Pearl team with elite D (and as a bonus playing each other at TBA)?
I hope you're right and there is no way he comes back here. Only coach coming back that could be worse as far as I am concerned is Donnie "My Cousin Vinny" Tyndall.
