Woe Are The Knicks

Bob Dylan once sang, "There is nothing more useless than a rich man's son."

These words have been proven innumerable times, but in sports one scion of the sperm bank lottery has ruled the # 1 worst sports owner in the USA for most of this century.

James 'fucking' Dolan of the New York Knicks.

When I returned to the city after a long stay in Asia, I walked down to the nearest basketball court in Fort Greene. No one was on the court. I wondered why and traipsed to very hoop court in the neighborhood. Ghost towns, but the great thing about basketball is that you can shoot the ball and dream out three seconds left on the clock and trailing by one. Skateboarders slurded onto the court, as if they owned the ground under my feet. I was wearing Celtics Green and wasn't leaving for a bunch of knuckledraggers on a stick.

Another old dude came to the court and asked, if he could shot with me.

"Sure."

He had a sweet shot and talked b-ball. Finally I asked, "I've been out of town for a long time, but every basketball court I go to is empty."

"One reason."

"James Dolan. The owner of the Knicks. They suck so bad that they stole the heart of New York basketball."

His name was Church.

He was right.

The Knicks sucked and sucked, because of the owner and they continue to suck to this day.

As a Celtics fan do I care.

MSG is the last great stadium and James Dolan sucks.

Not the Knicks, but I rich fat boy.
