James Dolan makes Spike Lee do perp walk out of MSG.....smfh

Guess I'm in the minority here. Policy changed and Spike still has the option to use the VIP entrance. Why not do that vs trying to use the "employee" entrance. This seems like a non-issue to me.

New door - problem solved. What am I missing here?

They never informed spike of the policy change before hand

And instead tried to publicly embarrass him.
 
But if the knicks are RIGHT?

Why wouldn't you SAY YOU RIGHT AND PROVE IT?

Why the statement?

Just don't say anything.

If you gonna essentially call someone a liar in public?

You better make damn sure

cause so far?

i see much more evidence supporting Spike version of events than theirs.

And msg name is looking worse and worse

It's how Dolen thinks. What other organization would make a statement like that?

You preaching to the choir

As much as i am uncomfortable about the slave references?

I COMPLETELY understand Oakley overall point

Just cause Dolan "loyal" to few black dudes doesn't mean he's the white malcolm x.

Cause now i realize he seems to do ALL that stuff as some type of shield.

I am truly embarrassed to be a Knicks fan

My jerk cousin actually fed ex me a damn Brooklyn Nets t shirt and Jersey.

The real sad part?

i folded them shts neatly in my drawer just in case.
 
So a buddy of mines works security at the garden and here are some info ya should maybe know.
Spike and Dolan have an agreement for him to use that employee entrance and no issue has happened in all those years however recently spike now goes to player locker room and sometimes brings his associates to meet the players. Some high profile visiting players and Knicks players complained about this. The garden had to put a stop to it.
Once the players started to complain, they had to stop it.
 
Spike says there were other people using that entrance and getting their tix scanned.....

Also, he stated he just used the same entrance last week with no issues.......
Dude said he used the entrance for 28 years. They could of called him , emailed him or even that night said to him that the new policy will be effect next game.

If that’s the case then why not tell spike to chill. The organization did a bitch move. They should of just told dude stopping going to the locker room .

He was taking his associates and friends to go meet the players. Some players complained. The organization handled it wrong but what spike was doing with his access wasn’t cool either

WOW...

I feel this is a REALLY REALLY big thing

if true

but to be fair.

this STILL does not help the Knicks organization at ALL.

Write him a letter make a phone call tell Spike NO and its done.

No matter WHAT?

the KNICKS handled this wrong.

Period.

And that does NOT mean Spike was RIGHT.

But it means not only did the Knicks handle this wrong...

but they handle EVERYTHING wrong.

So no matter if your version of events is true (and I actually trust you on this)

MSG still looks like a damn CLOWN SHOW.
 
dont know what spike supposedly did but no way do the Dolan and the Knicks get the benefit of the doubt.

he bans for being fans (because they hurt his feelings when they tell him to sell the team)

just last night fans were escorted off the premises for chanting sell the team. what other team does shit like that
 
Y'all getting too emotional over someone elses property. Dont be fooled because most of the players on the team are black, its still owned by a cac.

Msg is def a clown show. I also think a lot of this has to do with Leon Ross taking over..
I stand with spike on all of this. The amount of money he dishes out to watch the Knicks he deserves way More respect than what the Knicks have shown

Why you say this?
 
Thats not true

Not even the knicks are saying they made him aware BEFORE hand about the change.

Yeah, they actually are, this is on Spike. The VIP entrance is nice as fuck too. Spike can't be going around security. A Muslim go through that door they'd be on security lock down. This shit is not that serious. Use the door you paid millions for.

'Sell the team!': Knicks draw smallest crowd in 13 years amid Spike Lee feud

  • Knicks draw lowest attendance since 2006 for Wednesday game
  • Woeful team is finishing out seventh straight year out of playoffs

Spike Lee isn’t the only fan who has decided to no-show Knicks games.
The Knicks drew their smallest home crowd in nearly 13 and a half years Wednesday night, falling more than 3,200 below capacity in a 112-104 loss to the Utah Jazz.
The announced crowd was just 16,588, with noticeable patches of empty seats throughout an arena that lists 19,812 as its capacity for NBA games.

That means the arena was filled to about 84% capacity – leaving one in every six seats unsold.
Blame poor play, anger over Lee’s altercation or coronavirus concerns, but fans hadn’t stayed away from Madison Square Garden in such large numbers since 13 December 2006 – more than 500 regular-season games ago – when the Knicks drew 15,895 for a victory over Atlanta early in Isiah Thomas’ first season as coach.

What was once one of the toughest tickets in town is no longer the case as the Knicks (19-43) finish out their seventh straight year out of the playoffs. Attendance is on track to drop for the fourth straight season.
The game against the Jazz, who rank 28th in road attendance, came just two nights after one of the Knicks’ best performances of the season – a 125-123 victory over Houston on the day they hired longtime agent Leon Rose as their team president.
The win quickly became overshadowed by the fallout from Lee’s clash with security guards who blocked him from using the employee entrance to reach his courtside seats.
The Oscar-winning writer-director, a ticket holder for nearly three decades, told ESPN the following day he wouldn’t attend any more Knicks home games this season, accusing Madison Square Garden executive chairman James Dolan of harassing him.
That just increased anger fans already have toward the owner. Chants of “Sell the team! Sell the team!” have broken out during games at the Garden this season, including a minor one Wednesday night.
Dolan, however, said earlier this season while searching for a replacement after firing Steve Mills as president he wasn’t planning to sell.
The Knicks are expecting close to a sellout Friday night when they host Oklahoma City. That’s part of a run of nine games in nine nights at Madison Square Garden – five Knicks and four Rangers – during a congested part of the schedule before both teams go on the road, with the arena hosting the Big East tournament next week and the NCAA’s East Regional the last weekend of March.
