Spike Lee is one of the biggest race-baiters out there and someone needs to call him on his own racism.

[international american]

Majic Johnson called Bird the greatest player.......nuff said!

[international american]

Spike Lee is Sharpton in Hollywood.

[Just mythoughts]

Don't count on it, don't you know according to the Revolving Rev. Jesse Jackson, only whites are racists.

[Benrand]

Personally, I think Magic was over-rated and Bird was under-rated. Bird did some inhuman things aevery time I watched him.

And the team Larry had was nowhere near as talented as the Lakers.

Manic4Organic: Spike Lee Most Overrated Washed Up Director Ever

[Moby Grape]

Spike Lee IS A RACIST.

[cynicom]

One thing for sure, Bird had a brain and was ahead of the others on the floor at all times.

[The Mayor]

I was a big Celtic fan during his career, white or black, he was one of the greatest....

[AUH2OY2K]

Name the last good movie Spike Lee directed. OK, that may be too difficult. Name any good movie that Spike Lee directed.

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

Jerry West and Oscar Robertson were the best all-around basketball players in history!

[Tall_Texan]

Let's see how many sports reporters call up Bird and ask him for a reaction. Let's ask Bill Walton if he'll publicly trash Spike the way Tom Jackson trashed Rush.

I think a letter/e-mail to ESPN is appropriate asking them what the difference is between Spike's comments and Rush's other than the race of the accuser and the accused.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Well, it is a select club...the Most Overrated Club that is.

And ol' Spike oughta know. He's the Most Overrated Director in history. He knows whereof he speaks.

[tcuoohjohn]

Ironic...Spike Lee does a Rush Limbaugh. Both should stick to what they know. Rush knows football like Micheal Jackson knows fatherhood. Spike Lee knows basketball like Martha Stewart knows legal strategy.

What is it about famous people that they believe expertise and skill in one area is generally transferable to other areas?

I don't ask my accountant for advice on lawncare or my plumber for stock tips.

[glasseye]

Just wondering.........why would spike Lee have a valued opinion about basketball?

It wouldn't be like a race thing would it?

Naa, couldn't be.

[SamAdams76]

Larry Bird has three NBA Championship rings. How many Super Bowl rings did that QB from Philly have?

[BobS]

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar invented the SLAM DUNK! Magic Johnson perferced it.

[doug9732]

Spike Lee is a racist. I'm happy to say I've never wasted a single minute watching any of his movies.
Larry Bird was a great basketball player who spectacularly overachieved with his limited physical talent. Bird epitomized total concentration, hustle, and heart as the keys to victory. Magic Johnson may have been a slightly better player, but they were both great, as Magic would be the first to tell you.

[sheik yerbouty]

Spike(sheldon) Lee is the most over rated director in the movie industry. Most people are tired of his coproremetic outbursts.

[Dolphy]

Maybe we can get a comment from Isiah Thomas and Dennis Rodman who said that if Bird was a black man

Did Thomas say that? As I remember he was dragged, as the team captain, into the mess because of what Rodman said.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Spike Lee calling someone over-rated is like John Kerry calling someone two-faced.
