Spike Lee made it pretty well known why he didn’t make the trip to London to see his beloved Knicks. 

The New York Knicks are currently in the middle of one of the worst seasons in team history. Of course, as you would expect, this does not make Spike Lee a very happy man.

Actually, he’s so unhappy that he refused to go overseas recently to see his team play in London against the Bucks, a game in which they were blown out again.

So, why did Spike Lee not make the trip to England? Well, he recently provided a brief, straight-to-the-point explanation to Yahoo Sports.

"We’ve lost 16 motherf—-ing games in a row. 26 out of 27. And I’m gonna get on a plane for that?! I can take a cab to see them lose!"

Now Spike has been a loyal Knicks supporter for a long time, but to get him this worked up, you know that things have hit a new low.
