Among the 30 NBA teams, do you know which team "least want" to win the championship? Someone needs to think this is a bit absurd. Where does the influence of not winning the championship come from, how to attract big-name stars, how to get more income, hey, it is more logical to say, but NBA does have that one. For a team, his boss is not very interested in the championship. No one else, he is the owner of the New York Knicks James Dolan.
Dolan watched the game from the sidelines
Dolan bought the Knicks in 1997 and has only made 9 playoffs in the past 24 years. Although compared to some teams, his record looks good Okay, but it’s basically the first round. You said he has no money to adjust the team, no, he has also signed big names in the past 24 years, such as Carmelo Anthony, Amal Stoudemire Er and others, and the Knicks' market value is also among the highest among all NBA teams, but Dolan is not interested in competing for the championship. His money was completely dependent on the team's location in New York.
There are too many people with money and free time in the city of New York. The highly ornamental ball games like the NBA have become an indispensable part of their lives. And the local fans are also extremely enthusiastic, repeatedly provoking the visiting team who came to New York to play. Last season's Trey Young experienced this kind of treatment firsthand.
Dolan also caught this point. Therefore, under his management, the Knicks tickets become more expensive year by year, which is also a classic case of "supporting the mountains and relying on the water and the water". The team didn't operate properly and didn't get any breakthroughs, but Dolan really made a lot of money. This is the kingly way of the business league. So what about the Nets, which are also located in New York?
During the playoffs of last season,The cheapest tickets for the Knicks also sold for $1,000, and they were robbed in less than 20 minutes. The Nets, which owns the Big Three, had the cheapest tickets for only $100, but they sold for two days. Time, from this point of view, the Knicks are so "lucky" than the Nets and even other teams in the league, because they have a strong fan base behind them and "support" them regardless of their record.
