    $10 mil on Knicks tickets! They should rename the employee entrance " The Spike Lee Door"

      Stratos Fear when a SINGLE fan does it, it’s a big deal. We’ve seen many clubs around the world pay homepage to certain fans in different ways. But of course the Knicks are a complete and utter trash franchise, so never mind.

We don’t know what happened exactly but it looks pretty bad for the Knicks any way you cut it. You think the Knicks have a good owner and all these horrible PR issues and lack of success are not his fault? I don’t think it could be more clear that Dolan is one of the worst owners in the league. Even the most die hard knocks fans hate the guy.

      Andrew Furrer your point? Look at the Warriors, they sucked until Joe Lacob bought the team. They didn’t win overnight, but Lacob was able to help change the culture from the top and now they have one of the most valuable franchises in the NBA, not to mention 3 rings in 4 years. Imagine if Lacob had bought the Knicks. NYK will suck as long as Dolan owns the team.

If he's the knicks mascot, then he should be paid as such and allowed to use the employee entrance. He's not the mascot, therefore should have to come in the front door like everyone else.

I get VIP treatment for spending 30 bucks a week on lunch. Meanwhile Spike Lee is spending 3500 bucks a game and has been for my entire life (longer than I’ve been alive since I’m only 29) and they are telling this man to walk in through the front door. I would actually have a special massage chair on the sideline for that man tbh. And he’s been a die hard defender of that team for years no matter how bad they are.

      The Raptors have been in the league since 3 years before Dolan became owner of the Knicks, and won their first last year, without the benefit of the Heat's market for big names. Oh, they're also half the value of the Knicks and had they held on to Tmac and not had the drama with VC, they could've had more than one. MJ is an incompetent owner and even he seems closer to getting a title than Dolan is.

    Being from New Jersey my whole life I can tell you that I love sports in this area and try to support all the NJ/NY teams. All except the Knicks. The entire organization is a disgrace to professional sportd, and the only reason they are marketable is the area, if they were in any other city they would be losing money like a sinking ship and Dolan would have been out the door years ago. The day that Dolan finally leaves will be the day that NY/NJ and the NBA community will celebrate, that the Knicks will be back as a real and respectful basketball team. I hope I get to see that day soon but I'm losing patience.

      Dan Gilbert made his money selling subprime mortgages to poor people, he is still a POS. Also he tried to use Lebron as a kind of sideshow attraction instead of building a team around him from 2003 to 2010 because Gilbert was trying to be a cheap skate owner.
