Spike Lee is praying the Knicks don’t visit the White House “Dolan can’t force them! It’s been years since the last NBA team has gone. They’re not going. I hope they don’t go! I hope they don’t go”

mitchell robinson will be there
Bro’s busy with his TikTok right now
He’s putting a career-high tomorrow
On the scales?
On Twitch with Asmongold
I think he meant a career high in reference to his high lifted truck that he insists on driving through New York City.
He’s busy being an obese slob.
They need to put subway surfers on a treadmill screen so he gets in good enough shape to be playable.
That’ll never work. Create a picture of an AI generated country woman, put it on the back of a truck and make him chase it.
Go watch summer league mitchell robinson if you want to see what his athletic peak was.
Completely different guy in 2026 lol
Damn 😭
Respect my sleeper agent
The worst news of the night for Trump
He probably cares more about sports teams treating him like a king than he does governing so you’re probably right
He’s not really a basketball guy IIRC, I think he’s a Mets/Giants fan?
As a Mets fan I don’t want to claim him. We have suffered enough.
He probably hates Shake Shack anyway. No Big Macs.
He’s a MMA guy. Been going to UFC events for years and I think actually owned a promotion in the 2000s(affliction maybe?)
i genuinely don’t think he gives a shit about team sports
If he wants to be treated like a King, then he’s rooting for the wrong team.
Would be hilarious if the team went and visited Obama at his house instead. Might actually give him a twitch.
Cookout at Barack’s
Love the idea of him flipping burgers in shorts and dad sandals for some reason
He’d probably declare martial law for “mass treason”
James Dolan publicly exiled
Man the crashout that’s coming is gonna be monumental
Didn’t you hear? He’s calling Republicans who lost RINOs and not a part of his party.
I saw that comment comeing!
He’s probably glad the GOP is getting destroyed worse than Dresden, he can (accurately) claim that without his name on the ballot the party has much chance of winning as the Whig Party currently does.
He is claiming that but he’s also responsible for a number of the candidates like in Texas and South Carolina.
What we’re going to see is him ignore the Constitution even more than he already has. Republicans in Congress didn’t do anything to stop it, Democrats likely push back and Trump will use that as an opportunity to try to be a violent dictator.
I just saw a reel about him handpicking a ton of candidates and all of them losing in embarrassing fashion
Also Republicans tried to ratfuck Texas with gerrymandering and it might’ve completely backfired.
worse than Dresden lmfao
I’m not sure he would be around long if his name was on the ballot…
he literally did a few hours ago lmao, from his Truth Social:
I wasn’t on the Ballot and if I was, we would have won IN A LANDSLIDE! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP
Nah the dudes ego is too big for some shit like that. Tonights beat down is nothing but an embarrassment to his party and a reflection of his shitty government. Of course he is thin skin and throwing blame everywhere but himself but overall his ego is taking a beating and history will remember him for his poor government, not for what he says who is at fault or not being on the ballot or whatever the F he is saying.
Fucking Billy Pilgrim here
I know Reddit loves politics but the average American hates politics. It seems like we’re in an era where whatever party is in power will get destroyed on turnout. I don’t really think there’s anything the GOP or DNC can do.
Yeah this pretty much sums it up. People tried to read way too much into 2024 and they’ll do the same this year. Politics is very simple, economy bad = Party in power is losing.
I don’t think Dolan is going to be in a good mood after tonight
Tonight reminds me of Knicks Hawks Game 6
Except Dolan was happy with that beat down, he’s not going to be happy about this one lol
Good
What happened tonight?
Blue Tsunami hit the United States
Oh shit, congrats I guess
Things got better in November, just like South Park predicted.
What if they just visited Obama’s house?
When he lived at the White House, yeah
He moved tho if you didn’t hear
Didn’t the 2018 Warriors visit Obama’s office for their 2019 Washington visit instead of the White House?
Schrodingers visit to obamas house
That was 2015.
I think that was 2017.
Idk man, you’re pretty convincing tho so I’ll say yes and you can blame me if we’re wrong
We only associate with winners. Maybe if Republicans kept the Congress we’d consider it.
Or the Senate
the senate sounds like something out of star wars
You’re a DC fan saying this?
Just send Mitchell Robinson
Let Dolan just go for an awkward photo op while Trump takes his ring. Let that be the lasting image of the shitstorm Dolan caused with inviting Trump to the Garden for a game.
After tonight, they have no obligation to go either. Trump has lost the mandate tonight.
Sadly plenty of sports folks don’t care / got theirs and so on.
Vic Van Lier went to the White House
spike’s been waiting his whole life to have this argument
I think some will go but some won’t.
Fuck Trump, but does Spike Lee ever shut the fuck up? He seems insanely narcissistic. Worst part of the Knicks fanbase are the celebrities who think the focus should be on them just as much as the players
If there’s any Knicks celebrity fan that deserves to talk shit, it’s Spike Lee. He was always there.
Can anyone who’s downvoting properly defend this extremely overrated, mediocre filmmaker, who can’t stop himself from being the center of attention whilst having an awful attitude? Fuck Spike Lee.
What makes you say that he’s an overrated/mediocre filmmaker? Any specific movies?
The dude is incapable of making a movie that isn’t heavily about race. Incredibly one note. Malcolm X and Black Kkklansmen were decent films.
Also not a fan of him stepping onto the court to berate referees for missed fouls, manufacturing outrage with Dolan, and getting into yelling matches with opposing teams players. Dudes a fucking hack riding off his reputation from the early 90’s.
He thinks he matters when he really doesn’t
Genuinely why is it such a big deal if they don’t or do go? Isn’t it an nba tradition that has happened for half a century? It has never been about supporting a party. It’s just a tradition
I get that people don’t like the president and shit, but it’s not like the Knicks going to the White House is going to be the biggest news anyways when he is bombing Iran
The Thunder didn’t even go and their fanbase actually supports Trump.
the only jersey retired in OKC history is a white guy with no rings, All-Stars, All-NBA, and averaged under 6 PPG in his career lmao
Because of the association with a giant piece of shit like Trump. If it was Epstein with Donny at the white house would you still think what’s the big deal? No right? Cause Epstein is a disgusting pos too.That’s how a massive population of people feel about Trump.
And Epstein!
It isn’t really. Some Dodgers went some didn’t. I couldn’t care either way. We’re just in the age where everything is polarizing and everyone is radicalized. Emotions are high, logic and education are low, and critical thinking is in the absolute gutter. Truth doesn’t matter and lies sell. I hate this meta.
