NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Remember the guy who was auctioning off his fandom because he was sick and tired of the Knicks being awful?
Well, not only did he get a buyer, he also got a response from his former favorite team.
Evan Perlmutter, a former Madison Square Garden ad-sales employee, is now a fan of LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers after James Riedel, a YouTube channel owner from Orange County, California, purchased Perlmutter’s fandom for $3,500 on eBay.
Prior to making his fandom available to the highest bidder, Perlmutter, 33, explained to Bleacher Report that he just couldn’t take the Knicks’ losing ways anymore.
