Jack Nicholson, Spike Lee and Billy Crystal set to become basketball Hall of Famers as superfans

Back when the Lakers were putting on shows as good as anything coming out of Hollywood, the coolest guy in the building might've been courtside.

Even across the country, everyone noticed Jack Nicholson.

“Growing up, the guy I looked at was Jack Nicholson,” Spike Lee said. “When I was sitting in the blue seats at the Garden, I said, ‘Hopefully one day I can sit courtside like my guy Jack Nicholson.’”

Lee eventually made it to the front row to watch his beloved Knicks. And this weekend, he and Nicholson will together make it to basketball's Hall of Fame.
