Knicks' James Dolan criticizes NBA's revenue sharing, new media deal

Related Topics: Revenue sharing

New York Knicks owner James Dolan leveled continued criticism on the NBA's revenue sharing policies, outlining a denunciation of a possible eight percent league office cut of the new $74.6 billion media deal and a national television and streaming package that renders the league's Regional Sports Networks as "unviable," according to a letter shared with the NBA's Board of Governors and obtained by ESPN on Monday.

Dolan has been a consistent critic of league revenue sharing policies that spread local media rights and sponsorship deals from high-earning big markets to smaller market teams. In the letter shared on Monday, Dolan outlined new objections based on a league proposal shared with owners about the dispersion of revenues with the newly negotiated $74.
