The Hollywood powerhouse, who famously makes in home in Brooklyn, N.Y., reveals how he felt that the New York Knicks failed to sign NBA superstar LeBron James. “I was not disappointed. Because, if somebody doesn’t want to be here, then you don’t want’em,” he tells The Knicks Blog host Anthony Donahue. “But I will go to my grave thinking they concocted this thing two years ago. This thing was rigged, and they made it work. So I have to give them credit. But my grandmother, who put me through film school—she lived to be 100 years old—she used to say to me, ‘Spikey, be careful what you wish for.’ And I don’t think there’s a more appropriate saying when you look at Miami now.”
