Film director and Knicks fan Spike Lee sent a text message to Warriors coach Mark Jackson, thanking him for cutting Jeremy Lin, Jackson told CSN Bay Area.

Lin was released by Golden State before the season so the team could make a bid for DeAndre Jordan, who ended up re-signing with the Clippers. The Rockets also had their shot at Lin, but released him two weeks after signing him in December, a move Houston GM Daryl Morey has acknowledged he regrets.

Lin remains on a tear in New York, leading the Knicks to five-straight wins, with point totals of 25, 28, 23, 38 and 20.

“I got a text message from Spike Lee this morning,” Jackson said on Saturday, according to CSN. “I had nothing to do with Jeremy Lin. I never saw him do a layup. So for the people … stop asking me. He never practiced for us so leave me out of it.”

Jackson added, “(Lee’s) thanking me like I had something to do with it. We made a player a free agent and it was nothing about believing or not believing in Jeremy Lin. I’m happy for the guy. When good guys get a win, it’s great for everybody.”
