Your questions... Their answers...

710 ESPN's next Lunch with a Legend takes place Tuesday, November 24th at Morton's the Steakhouse in downtown Los Angeles and features iconic filmmaker Spike Lee.

Spike Lee is well-known for his devotion to the New York Knicks professional basketball team.

Lee incorporates something related to baseball in every one of his movies. Examples include the New York Mets in Mo' Better Blues and Jungle Fever, Dwight Gooden and Roger Clemens in Do The Right Thing, Willie Mays and Roberto Clemente in Clockers, Reggie Jackson and the New York Yankees in Summer of Sam, and Jackie Robinson in Malcolm X, amongst other recurring themes in his movies such as She Hate Me.

Marketing executives from Nike offered Lee a job directing commercials for the company. They wanted to pair Lee's character from She's Gotta Have It, the Michael Jordan-loving Mars Blackmon, and Jordan himself in their marketing campaign for the Air Jordan line.

The biggest names. The best steaks. And the banter with Andrew Siciliano and Mychal Thompson that will keep you coming back for more. LUNCH WITH A LEGEND is the series that puts legendary food, drinks, and Los Angeles sports icons into a prime slice of the good life.

UPDATE: THIS EVENT HAS BEEN
