While he was minding his own business, ESPN's Mike Breen took a shot at New York Knicks superfan Spike Lee while he was getting ready for his team to play the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Before the game started, ESPN showed the various celebrities at the game. Of course, Lee was there, sitting courtside. Breen was curious why Lee wasn't wearing a hat, saying, “He always wears a hat.”
“You don't like his bald head?” Richard Jefferson asked. “I think he looks great.”
“I wanna know why Spike Lee’s not wearing a hat.”
“We don’t discriminate against bald men. CLEARLY.” 😭

Breen then recovered, saying, “We don't discriminate against bald men,” before emphasizing, “Clearly.” Of course, he was playfully taking a shot at Jefferson.
Lee was one of the many celebrities at the Knicks game last night. Another die-hard fan, Tracy Morgan, was sitting courtside as well. Celebrity row also included Woody Harrelson, Paul Rudd, Michael J. Fox, Sombr, Edie Falco, Action Bronson, Zarna Garg, and Benny Safdie. New York Yankees stars Raúl Alejandro, Anthony Volpe, and Gerrit Cole were also there.
The Knicks' loss to the Cavaliers
The Knicks' four-game win streak was snapped on Wednesday night against the Cavaliers. They lost by eight points to the team they swept in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Cleveland led for most of the game. New York went on a run in the second half, but they were never able to get a lead larger than two points.
Jalen Brunson led the team with 27 points, and Karl-Anthony Towns continued his streak of double-doubles, logging his 11th of the year. Miles McBride and Landry Shamet were crucial off the bench, too, scoring 19 and 12 points, respectively.
James Harden went off against the Knicks. He scored 32 points while making nine of 14 shots. Donovan Mitchell also scored 23 points and had seven rebounds and six assists. Jarrett Allen also had 14 rebounds, the most of any player in the game.
