I just love sports. So, uh, 
and I'd be able to work in some of the 
films, too. So, it's, uh, 
>> but this seems to go beyond love. I 
mean, I saw your socks, your watch, your 
glasses, all the accuch, 
>> orange, and blue skies. 
>> What is it about the Knicks? 
>> It's basketball. And no disrespect to uh 
the Brooklyn Nets or 
Ladies of the Liberty, but this is uh 
I mean I'll tell you what's happening. 
My first film, She's Going to Have It 
the character that played Marge Blackman 
wore Jordans 
and 
>> that just blew up, you know. So, 
and uh 
I'm just lucky. 
And when I was growing up, I was not 
sitting courtside. I was back then the 
different sections were color. And when 
you were near the roof, there was the 
blue heavens. 
>> You were in the blue. 
>> But I didn't care. I was I just wanted 
to be in the garden. 
>> But now you've been a season ticket 
holder since the 80s. Since Patrick 
Juan's rookie year, 
>> you're just about at every game. You've 
actually been, and our viewers may not 
know this, inducted into the basketball 
hall of fame as a super fan. 
>> This is my ring right here. 
>> That's the super fan ring. 
>> Yep. 
>> What's the criteria for a super fan? 
>> I don't know. They just said, "You want 
to be inducted?" I said, "Okay." 
>> What is it about New York and Spikeley? 
Why do you think the two are almost 
synonymous? I don't know about that. But 
I'm just glad I'm not sitting near the 
roof. 
It's funny though. When I started become 
a filmmaker, I said, "Lord, 
if it ever get any money, 
I don't want to I want to get out of the 
blue seats." 
And 
I got season tickets. And every year I 
move
