Spike Lee
New Pope Is Holy Blessing
… For The Knicks!!!
Published
The Knicks have inspired belief and confidence in their fanbase after going up 2-0 on the Celtics … but legendary film director and diehard backer Spike Lee believes there’s a more divine reason the New York fans can expect a title this season — the new Pope!!
Apparently, Spike is all about Leo XIV because Robert Francis Prevost is a Villanova grad. Villanova — the only Augustinian Catholic university in the United States — is also the alma mater of three Knicks: Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart and Mikal Bridges.
If you ask Spike — a regular at Knicks games — the ‘Nova connection is a sign from God his squad is going to win it all this season.
“THE KNICKERBOCKERS ARE GO-NNA WIN THE 2024-25 NBA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP. IT IS DIVINITY. GOD BLESS,” Lee said along with a slew of emojis in a post he shared on Instagram.
Of course, Pope Leo XIV is also the first pope from the United States … originally hailing from Chicago, Illinois.
Too bad it’s not a blessing for the Chicago Bulls, though … considering they got booted in the Play-In Tournament.
If Pope Leo XIV’s socials are any indication, he is apparently a Wildcats fan … as he reposted a tweet about Villanova winning the NCAA national title back in 2016.
Unclear how Leo feels about the Knicks … but one thing they have in common with the new pope is no one expected them to win!!
