Before launching an unorthodox lawsuit against the Toronto Raptors that includes allegations questioning the objectivity of NBA commissioner Adam Silver, New York Knicks owner James Dolan resigned his positions on the league's Board of Governors' influential advisory/finance and media committees, according to a memo obtained by ESPN.
"Given all that has occurred lately, I have come to the conclusion that the NBA neither needs nor wants my opinion," Dolan wrote in a July memo to Silver that he copied to the other 29 league owners.
Dolan also informed Silver and his peers of his intentions to no longer attend Board of Governor meetings, according to the memo.
