The Academy Award-winning director was seen wearing a custom #14 Pope Leo jersey to Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs. Lee received the jersey from the pontiff last year during his visit to the Vatican in November.
Lee also wore the jersey during Game 2 of New York’s first-round series against the Atlanta Hawks. The Knicks lost that game 107-106 at the Garden. They lost the next game, too, to fall behind in that series 2-1 on April 23 – their last loss before this current 13-game postseason winning streak.
