While Knicks owner James Dolan looks out for his own interests, the rest of the NBA carries on

James Dolan is riding the gravy train.

The billionaire inherited his fortune, which includes the New York Knicks, Madison Square Garden and MSG Network, from his father, Charles Dolan, one of the world's wealthiest people. James Dolan controls the NBA's highest-valued franchise in the league's largest media market because he was born into both.

Dolan reportedly wanted more at the rest of the NBA's expense. Except, the 69-year-old was this week's lone dissenting vote against both the league's proposed budget this season and its newly re-elected chairman of the board of governors, Toronto's Larry Tanenbaum, sources told Yahoo Sports.
