Maybe we could organise a proper World Series against Mike Ashley’s Newcastle United to determine the universal title for sporting incompetence. Those who are sticking around are making displeasure known with chants of “Sell the team! Sell the team” becoming a regular feature of games, although participants are quickly ejected. The Knicks recently drew their smallest home crowd with 3,200 empty seats for a 112-104 defeat by the Utah Jazz. Lee is not the only one staying away from the Garden, which used to rival Broadway as the hottest ticket in town. A “he said, she said” version of events has taken place through the New York media with the result that Lee has vowed to stop attending Knicks games for the remainder of this season. That was until last week, when the team decided he should use the VIP entrance like any other celebrity. One was being able to use the employee entrance to access his courtside seats at Madison Square Garden. Still Lee did have a couple of perks for his outlay. Their last great team were in the early 1990s, when Patrick Ewing went toe to toe with Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls, albeit unsuccessfully. Over the past 20 seasons their winning percentage is the worst in the NBA. They have not had a winning season since 2012-13. The return on his investment is questionable to say the least. Film director Spike Lee estimates that he has spent around $10 million (£7.6m) on New York Knicks tickets over the past 28 years.
