Spike Lee wears pro-Palestinian outfit to NBA All-Star Game with Israeli-born player competing

Israeli ambassador to the U.N. Danny Danon joins ‘Fox News Live’ to discuss skepticism about U.S.-Iran nuclear talks and the possibility of regime change as the ayatollah faces pressure from protesters.

Spike Lee was seated courtside at the Intuit Dome in Southern California for the NBA All-Star Game, but it was his outfit that caught attention during the event.

Lee wore a Pro-Palestinian look to the festivities in Inglewood, California, as the league put its new format on display, which featured World All-Stars and All-Stars from the U.S. on Team Stars and Team Stripes.

The World All-Stars featured Portland Trail Blazers forward Deni Avdija. It was the first time an Israeli-born player appeared in an All-Star Game. Avdija wore the Israeli flag on the back of his jersey for the game.

Lee didn’t make any extra statement, but his outfit was enough of a message.

"I feel like when I come to play, I come with the entire nation, and it’s fun to show that it’s possible, even for a small country like us," he said after the game, via Times of Israel.

While political issues didn’t appear to seep into the game, Houston Rockets star Alperen Sengun was asked about his relationship with Avdija on Saturday. Sengun is Turkish and the relationship between the two countries is far from strong.
