It’s been over a week since the Knicks won the NBA title, but Spike Lee’s celebration of New York’s latest championship is showing no signs of slowing down.
The filmmaker and diehard Knicks supporter made an appearance at the 2026 NBA Draft at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Tuesday night and was still very much basking in his favorite team’s big win.
Lee sported a big orange and blue jacket for the festivities and appeared to gloat about the Knicks’ victory when broadcast cameras panned to him at the event.
Lee, a fixture courtside during the Finals run, held up five fingers on his right hand and pointed to it with his left in what seemed to be an effort to acknowledge that it only took New York five games to beat the Spurs in the NBA Finals.
Lee later joined former players and analysts on ABC’s set and talked a little basketball with the guys.
He praised New York native Jose Alvarado, before he sounded quite pleased with the way the Knicks — via a trade with the Lakers — landed 20-year-old Spanish forward Sergio De Larrea in the draft’s first round.

However, after Lee made his appearance, the Knicks traded away De Larrea to the Mavericks for Koa Peat, who was then sent to the Suns. The Knicks ended up with cash and five second-round picks at the end of the night.
After attending all of the Knicks vs. Spurs Finals games, Lee’s been hard to miss around New York. He showed up with the newly minted champs during their appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” and then he was featured prominently in their June 18 Canyon of Heroes parade.
No word on where Lee will be off to next, but it’s safe to assume the Knicks will be involved in one way or another.
