Samit hat is go!

I suppose I can reasonably say I have interest in the video below because Spike Lee is a filmmaker and I like movies. It's a well known fact that no matter how piss poorly the Knicks are doing Spike Lee is courtside cheering them on -- or attempting to coach the team. So how does he feel about Kobe Bryant landing the cover of NBA 2K10? Well, I'm sure he's fine with it, but he of course has some suggestions that lean more towards his favorite team.

If you're into sports, or even just know the very basics of the basketball season, this is pretty clever. I'm just wondering if enough of the country votes for Kobe in a Knicks jersey if they'll actually go through with it. I think that might be taking it one step too far. I was just in LA and saw what the Lakers fans are like; we don't need any riots caused by videogames. What if Germany heard about that?

If I can't have Spike Lee on the cover, Kobe in the wrong jersey is the next best thing.

Also, fuck the knicks, mango sentinel!

Oh god Spike Lee is going to turn my city into an angry mob. I see rape, pillage and murder in the future.

Please save Los Angeles and vote against this crazy, crazy man.

Also, did Kobe ever play for the Knicks? If not, why are the seriously including those covers as a choice? Why would anybody want the wrong jersey on their cover athlete? Somebody explain the joke please!

The answer to the first question in the article is no. He is at a football game you can see the football goal thingy in the background.

Do The Right Thing is possibly the greatest American film ever made. That makes Spike Lee relevant.

(Jungle Fever and Crooklyn are damn good too. How many directors have made 3 American classics?)

Spike lee is a die hard New york (insert sports team) fan.

So he thought it would be funny to see Kobe with the Knicks uniform....I think.

NBA 2k has gotten worse every year since 2k7. there are so many flaws with the game i can devote an entire day.

if you buy this game you support the developers not putting effort into their games. (its been nearly identical since 2k1)

Ummm 2k is the best basketball series, 2k9 is the best basketball game to date and I've played every one since 2k3. Also, Spike Lee is not the hardcore Knicks fan he claims to be. He's been court side for Laker games, did a documentary on Kobe and is best buddies with him. Just sayin'
