James Dolan has widely been viewed during his reign over the New York Knickerbockers as a mixture between Ebenezer Scrooge and Dr. Seuss’s fabled Grinch, but seeing as he has thus far kept his hands off the team’s latest rebuilding efforts, it only seems right that the billionaire receives a bit of Christmas cheer this year.
In uncharacteristic fashion, Dolan recently granted ESPN’s Ian O’Connor a two-hour interview, and his answers to a number of the questions made big time news. Perhaps most highlighted in the media was his pontification about potentially selling the Knicks — the caveat there is that Dolan was really only saying that he has a duty to shareholders to consider a bonafide an offer if one was to be made.
