Mention James Dolan’s name around anyone who follows the NBA, and 99 out of 100 people will give you the same response. Incompetent. Since taking over as owner of the New York Knicks, the franchise–which once had a wonderful history of winning from the late sixties and early seventies, and were coming off a decade of deep playoff runs in the nineties–has done nothing but lose, sometimes in spectacular fashion.
Of course, there were a few exceptions when the Knicks were good under Dolan’s ownership tenure, most notably, during the 2012-13 season when they won 54 games and advanced to the second round of the playoffs.
