"He's just formed his own ad agency, Spike/DDB; he's published Best Seat in the House, an autobiography of the director as a Knicks fan with courtside seats; and he's about to start shooting He Got Game, a drama about a high school basketball star (played by Ray Allen of the Milwaukee Bucks) that will reunite Lee with his Malcolm X lead, Denzel Washington.When did you decide you wanted to make a documentary feature?
I've always been interested in all forms of cinema. I've done ten feature films, numerous music videos, commercials. I've done mini-documentaries for HBO on sports figures like Mike Tyson, John Thompson, Albert Belle, and Curt Flood. So this was an opportunity to extend that to feature length. But I never saw any barrier. To me, cinema is about telling a story. That's not foreign to me. "

I may try to read this book Best seat in the house, and give you a report on it RAZ. If I see that he is not a genius and a dipstick I will be more than happy to change my opinion.
