NEW YORK (AP) — Even Spike Lee, that noted Knicks superfan, was a LeBron James guy Tuesday night.

And when New York guard Nate Robinson saw the producer had turned traitor and was wearing a pair of the special red “Big Apple” sneakers James was debuting for this game, he immediately began stepping on Lee’s foot.

“Stop!” Lee said. “He’s going to be your teammate.”

That’s what Knicks fans hope, anyway.
