Knicks owner tells fan of 63yrs to start rooting for the Nets

[HEAT111]

No wonder the Knicks are cursed. James Dolan

[ILLsmak]

Dolan should have sent the guy two court side seats and a gift card to a fancy eatery, thanked him for his patience and being a fan for so many years

But instead he does what he always does, plays the part of the fool...

yea he went in on him on some personal shit. That's super wack.

I think it's pretty cool that he even got a response.

Supposedly the reason the Knicks "didnt show interest" in Kareem was because the Bucks asked for Walt Clyde Frazier in a trade.

In retrospect the Knicks shouldve made the move but Clyde was their guy

The Knicks have been the most trash franchise in the history of this league. I'm always very shocked when I see their arena fill but 99% of the people in attendance are not Knicks fans - they just go because it's a nice and fun event in New York. Even though the Nets attendance numbers have been dwindling they at least get 100% true Nets fans, not these rich random people from Manhattan.

The fan is stupid for emailig Dolan to complain. However, he is right in saying that the Knicks would be better off without Dolan.

You're such a fake fan. Youve never even been to a game at Barclays live. It's different people every game. They come late and barely even root at times. Wow you're full of shit.

And Dolan being a dick, that's truly shocking.

Most athletes who dont want to play in NYC cite the ny media. NYC media is VERY tough. Just look at Oklahoma City, after they criticized Durant, a day later they apologized to Durant. That wouldnt happen in NYC.

Dude doesn't understand the war the Garden has with Knick media. After Isiah's blunders, Jimmy put up the hush policy. They've been for his blood ever since. This is why he put the team in Phil's hands. Knick trolls have everything they need from quoting The Post if they're that bored.

can we just pretend that the letter is racist so Silver can force him to sell the team?

Yes please. I'm deeply offended.

Dolan is one of the biggest problems the Knicks have, unfortunately there is no way to get rid of him. Us Knick fans are stuck with the cancer.

He forced Walsh to gut the team and trade for Melo and essentially paved the way for Walsh to leave.

2 words too many.

There has been a lot of reaction to this on sports media. Am I alone in thinking this is no big deal? I'd guess that this is Dolan finally blowing up after years of criticism for his incompetent management. But he didn't say anything obscene or bigoted.

[Sarcastic]

At least he signed it with "Respectfully".

With his response being such arrogant, to me it symbolizes insecurity.
