James Dolan resigned his positions on the league’s Board of Governors’ influential advisory/finance and media committees before launching the New York Knicks’ lawsuit against the Toronto Raptors, according to a memo obtained by ESPN.
“Given all that has occurred lately, I have come to the conclusion that the NBA neither needs nor wants my opinion,” Dolan wrote in a July memo to Silver that he copied to the other 29 league owners.
Dolan also informed Adam Silver and his peers of his intentions to no longer attend Board of Governor meetings. Knicks general counsel Jamaal Lesane is now representing the franchise at Board of Governor Meetings.
“My hope is that the Knicks will be treated equally and fairly as all other NBA teams,” Dolan said in the memo. “… As you know, I am very busy with all my duties at MSG family of companies. I need to apply my time where I can be most productive.”
Dolan has become increasingly critical of the NBA and Silver over the past few years.
