About The Book

“Best Seat in the House,” Spike Lee’s evocative and compelling basketball memoir, interweaves several journeys over a course of thirty years. The first is professional basketball’s metamorphosis from a fringe sport whose championship games would air tape-delayed at 11:30 p.m., after the local news had already given the scores, to become the big-money sports spectacular it is today, filled with outrageously inflated salaries and egos. The other journey is that of Shelton Jackson Lee himself, who has gone from a skinny kid playing ball on the streets of Brooklyn, sneaking into Madison Square Garden to watch his beloved Knicks, to Morehouse College and NYU film school, to being a world-renowned film director and hoops fan. The book charts Spike’s artistic journey from his first college film (Super 8), called “Last Hustle in Brooklyn,” and his gradual move down from the raucous, nosebleed blue seats just below the Garden’s rafters, closer and closer to the on-court action until, in the year “Malcolm X” was released, Spike landed the coveted courtside seats he has today — the best seats in the house. From there, his blue-seat emotions, transplanted to within arm’s reach of the action, have led to numerous confrontations with refs and opposing players — some of them public, like the notorious Reggie Miller incident — but most never before discussed. Along the way Spike takes readers on entertaining and provocative detours, including a one-on-one with that other film-directing, Brooklyn-born, Garden-inhabiting hoops fan, Woody Allen; reviews of sports movies (Spike has seen them all, and the results aren’t pretty); an unusually candid and revelatory interview with Michael Jordan; and astark assessment of the role of African-American athletes both in the big business of sports and in the broader culture.
