Spike Lee might be an interesting guy if he ever learns to open up and express himself. He made a fair attempt at that today, phoning in to ESPN, to give his thoughts on LeBron James going to Miami. The movie mogul and No. 1 Knicks fans had plenty to say about LBJ, and how he had better watch his back when he returns home to Cleveland:

On where he thinks LeBron goes from here:

"I don't know how he's going to live in Akron or Cleveland anymore. They're going to make his life miserable . . . The first time the Heat go into (Cleveland) they're going to need the National Guard. I'm not trying to blow this up, but they're going to need the National Guard."

On The Decision show:

"I really can't understand why they chose Greenwich, Conn. The show was kind of cheesy to me. LeBron, he was really on edge. He hardly smiled, and he's someone who smiles all the time."

On how LeBron reacted when ESPN showed that his jersey was being burned by some in Cleveland:

"That was a killer. Like Michael Jackson sang, 'It cuts like a knife.' "

On Cavs owner Daniel Gilbert blasting LeBron:

"I would just like to say that I don't like what this guy did. The days of the owners dictating to the players what they can do are over."

On how LeBron will be treated at Madison Square Garden:

"Oh, he's going to get it worse than Reggie Miller."

His overall view of LeBron's decision:

"Look, I cannot blame LeBron for doing what makes him happy . . . But this thing was rigged. It was a done deal . . . C'mon, they knew. Pat Riley knew. This thing was rigged."

And how many championship rings does he think Miami will win with LeBron?

"I'm not giving them zero until I see who else they have. They have three guys. They're not better than Chicago. I don't think they're better than Boston is, either."

I found that part of his comments laughable.
