James Dolan abruptly cancels Knicks-Spurs Finals Game 4 watch party at MSG

A scaled-down watch party outside MSG for the Knicks and Spurs’ Finals Game 4 was abruptly canceled late Wednesday afternoon, after the Garden’s owner, James Dolan, bizarrely pulled the plug on the event.


Dolan, speaking on WFAN, announced that the watch party, which was to be ticketed this time, was off. He complained that the number of people allowed under an NYPD-issued permit for the event — a maximum of 999 — was too small.


“No tickets were issued…,” Dolan said. “Our hope was that the mayor and the (Police) commissioner would change their mind and then we’d put the screens up. They clearly haven’t changed their mind. It’s past, it’s almost 5 o’clock, so the screens not going up.”


In response to the entertainment mogul’s accusations, Mayor Mamdani fired back, “MSG requested a permit for a watch party for 500-999 fans. We approved that permit for 999 fans. Mr. Dolan has now decided to cancel the watch party.

2. About Dolan

He owned the NY Liberty WNBA team, decided he hates women’s sports, banished them from MSG and intentionally ran it into the ground. The Tsais (Brooklyn Nets) bought the Liberty, moved them into Barclays, invested players and sell out on a regular basis.

4. His good buddy Donald has rubbed off on him

He looked like he was napping next to Grampy at the last game. Or maybe he's pissed because they booed him.

5. Dolan was an asshole since long before Rrump ran for office.

6. Everything TSF touches...

Dolan should have never let Trump touch his team. They may win the NBA title, but it won't be the same, ever.
