Ever since cable magnate Charles Dolan handed his son the remote, it has been painfully clear that his progeny is hardly a prodigy.
Among James Dolan’s greatest hits is hiring Isiah Thomas, who then, after costing Dolan $11.6 million in a sexual harassment lawsuit, was rehired to run a women’s basketball team.
Then there were all the draft busts, from Frederic Weis to Michael Sweetney. And there were the wretched acquisitions, from Stephon Marbury to Jerome James to Eddy Curry. Then there was the $100 million they gave to Allan Houston.
Then Dolan handed Phil Jackson, who’s never run a franchise, $60 million to run a franchise.
