Spike Lee's Oakley jersey was actually an altered Landry Fields jersey

Spike Lee was in his customary courtside seat Sunday as the New York Knicks upended the San Antonio Spurs, but not in his customary attire.

Lee rocked a Charles Oakley jersey, in support of the Knicks icon who's been disparaged and outlawed by the franchise in the past week.

Lee was set on wearing an Oakley jersey to the game, but he had a problem: he didn't actually own one. What he did own, however, were three Landry Fields jerseys. He figured he could sacrifice one of them.

"I got every jersey, game-worn, but I couldn't find an Oakley jersey," Lee told ESPN's Ian Begley. "But I had three Landry Fields jerseys. So I took it to my guy, and he hooked it up. So officially, this is a Landry Fields jersey."
