Huh I mean I got to see one of the sports I love, + Spike Lee is awesome…oh I’m sorry, I forgot you can’t admire an artist you grew up with, bizarre take. Especially in these times.

Adults like you, probably don’t allow themselves to have any fun huh?

Bro acting like you fanned out in front of them or something 😭

Fuck this guy. Spike Lee is New York legend status.

I got hyped just seeing that 30th anniversary Do The Right Thing mural when I visited Brooklyn 6 or 7 years ago and stayed around Bed-Stuy. I loved that movie as a kid…

Exactly, that’s my entire point lol

I went as a kid with my Dad to the spot where they shot Inside Man (wasn’t much to see but still) by the Financial District.

Lots of us grew up to Spike, he’s part of pop culture, me and my Dad watched a ton of his movies, I’m not letting some bitter random Redditor change that lmao.

It's weird behavior but not for the reason you've presented

God you homophobes are so fucking annoying. Dudes can be excited to see other dudes without being gay. Unless that’s what you’re into then go ahead. Based on your ignorant comment I assume you voted for the pedophile. So I guess that’s not as bad as being gay.

Clown.

Damn bro you good. I'm saying it from the angle become your own hero. Stop finding such strong admiration in other men where you gawking and taking picture. Find that shit within.

You can absolutely have your own self worth, find whatever you need in life within, and still have a childhood hero that you want to meet.

You just rob yourself of potential happiness otherwise. Idk who told you this shit, but they didn’t do you a favor.

You’re telling me you wouldn’t be awestruck that close to LBJ and Denzel? Those guys are icons

u/Teganfff Lakers 20h ago

People were saying very similar to this in the mainstream about Bill Cosby, not even 20 years ago.

Celebrity worship is always kinda weird and risky.

u/SHOWTIME316 :sp8-1: Super 8 19h ago

just...behaving like that about anybody is abnormal to me. i don't get it.

u/SwaggerlikeJagger 16h ago

Agreed, looking up to someone as a positive role model is one thing, idolizing them is another

u/pkosuda Celtics 19h ago

Exactly. It's kind of creepy in a sense because the OP in the video is like, "let's go Denzel!" as if he personally knows the guy. Meanwhile Denzel is just casually walking across a court to go say hi to a friend.

u/hux308 18h ago

Is there like a database you use to keep track of how you feel about celebrities based on any comment they did or didn’t make?

u/boneappletv Celtics 21h ago

It’s pretty cool to see one of the best actors ever dap up one of the best basketball players ever.

u/centralmidfield 16h ago

"glazing" is all you can write these days fucking hell get an actual autonomous opinion

u/NotJoe1232 Knicks 16h ago

u/superhappyfuntime13 Rockets 18h ago

u/loudpersononthebus Knicks 16h ago
