Is it just me, or can Spike Lee do no wrong? Movies, commercials, whatever- this guy has the natural ability to keep it extraordinarily real. The new Air Jordan 20 spot is a perfect example. He's just reading a fairy tale- the fairy tale of the greatest basketball player of all time, MJ. Even though the fairy tale failed to mention the heroes gambling problem, and ugly divorce (its probably in the directors cut) what it did, was just simply say: practice. And isn't that what fucking everything is about? Basketball, Acting, life, Advertising etc. isn't about money, or fame, or whatever, it's just about reaching your full potential as a member of the human race. Thank you Spike, if you dated white girls, you could have my sister.

One time I did a Spike Lee joint and got a little stir crazy. All of a sudden I hated white people and went to a bunch of Knicks games. Nah, kidding. Spike is cool, and I definitely believe life is about working your ass off to make things happen, for yourself and others. Holla on that shizzle, cobo.

I love his movies--some of my punk rock friends were in Summer of Sam and raved about how cool he is. And as a director I liked his commercials but the work coming out of Spike/DDB kinda sucks. I don't think he really gets advertising on a writing level.
