Spike Lee is practically the embodiment of tragedy; for over a decade, he has never seen his beloved team defeat his most hated player.
Though he was mentally prepared, the moment Roger clinched the game, his heart felt intense pain, as if it had been shot through with a pistol.
When Toni Kukoc patted his shoulder, it felt as though Satan was knocking on his heart's door, an unforgettable feeling.
But watching Roger struggle to climb onto the stands, raising his arms, Spike Lee cursed while clapping for his least favorite player: "Congratulations, you bastard who ought to go to hell. Go get your championship, damn it!"
Toni Kukoc chuckled; Spike Lee's criticism of Roger had become emotional.
In fact, Spike Lee wasn't a mindless hater.
He would trash talk with Reggie Miller but also hug him.
He would boo Kobe wildly but also love to imagine Kobe wearing a Knicks jersey.
