The feud between NBA Hall of Famer Reggie Miller and acclaimed filmmaker Spike Lee is one of the strangest you’ll ever read about. Lee was and still is, an outspoken Knicks fan. He sat courtside at every game and made a habit of getting into Miller’s head during the 1990s when the Pacers played there.

Athletes usually ignore fans, but Miller couldn’t ignore Lee. One night Miller looked over and made a choking gesture towards the director. The NBA hasn’t seen fireworks like this feud since, and probably never will. Coming up, Brett Favre should have stayed retired the first time!
