"Best Seat in the House" is an evocative basketball memoir that chronicles the evolution of professional basketball over thirty years, from a niche sport with delayed championship broadcasts to a multi-million dollar spectacle. It also tells the story of Shelton Jackson Lee, who transitioned from a skinny Brooklyn kid playing basketball and sneaking into Madison Square Garden to becoming a celebrated film director and passionate hoops fan. The narrative follows Spike's artistic journey, starting with his first college film, "Last Hustle in Brooklyn," and his ascent from the nosebleed seats to coveted courtside seats during the release of "Malcolm X." These prime seats have led to numerous confrontations with referees and players, including the infamous Reggie Miller incident, along with many untold stories. Spike shares entertaining and thought-provoking anecdotes, including a one-on-one with fellow Brooklynite and filmmaker Woody Allen, critiques of sports films, a candid interview with Michael Jordan, and a sharp analysis of the impact of African-American athletes in the sports industry and culture at large. Through these experiences, Spike Lee offers a unique perspective on basketball's cultural significance and his personal connection to the game.
