Dolan was sooooo close…
He had generated positive PR (one of the few times in the two decades he’s wowed the team) by just keeping quiet and letting the Knicks success speak for itself.
But he just couldn’t leave well enough alone.
First, he invites Trump to MSG, which infuriates and inconveniences countless fans.
Now he gets in a pissing contest with the Mayor and police commissioner.
Injecting unnecessary drama, negativity and dissension into what had been an incredibly unifying communal experience
"Mr. Dolan has now decided to cancel the watch party."
New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani responds to James Dolan and says that Dolan is responsible for tonight's watch party being canceled outside MSG
NEW YORK: We’re back outside the Garden.
We have approved a ticketed MSG watch party for Game 4. More details soon.
As we prepare to watch together, let me be clear: this is a historic, joyful moment for our city. We will not allow it to be disrupted by violence.
Be safe, take care, and celebrate responsibly.
Knicks in 5.
Hilarious example about how everyone swears Fat Joe is a liar then we always get verification that he was actually telling the truth and just had a few minor details wrong. “I saw Hasidic Jews breakdancing with Black kids” well actually they were getting sturdy Joseph
James Dolan invited his friend Donald Trump to watch Game 3. In order to do that, they have to ban the organic, historically joyous parties happening outside MSG for fans who can't afford to be inside. Modern sports in a nutshell
KAT is basically trying to process grief over his mom’s death by playing the best basketball of his life in these finals and I could not be rooting for him harder.
Following the Knicks’ Game 2 victory, Karl-Anthony Towns shared a heartfelt message about his mother.
"If you lose a parent, and anyone's listening, you just look for signs. I'll take any sign I could get, and I prayed to her strong before that possession."
