Of course Knicks’ owner James Dolan isn’t selling franchise after ending NBA title drought

With the New York Knicks winning the NBA Title, there is an air of happiness around the Big Apple that has not existed in a while. While speaking to Good Day New York, owner James Dolan says the Knicks’ NBA Title drought has ended, raising the team’s value, and he has no plans to sell it.

James Dolan says there’s “no reason” to consider selling the team, even if Elon Musk offered to buy it, due to the team’s skyrocketing valuation.

"No, I don't think we're going to sell the team… The stock of the team has gone up dramatically."

When the season began, Dolan had winning the title as the most important goal. After enduring heartbreaking losses in past seasons, the team finally broke through. Because of that, the Knicks now sit among the NBA greats after defeating the San Antonio Spurs to win their first championship in 53 years.

Dolan has refused to sell the Knicks over the last few years, especially when they were struggling. Ultimately, there have been many questions about the topic, and he has provided the same response every time.

When Forbes released their valuation rankings last year, they had the Knicks sixth on the list. Notably, only the Dallas Cowboys, Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Rams, New York Giants, and Los Angeles Lakers were ahead of them. Winning the NBA championship could propel them even higher, especially with the publicity surrounding the first title in over five decades.

With Dolan accepting the White House invitation, there will be even more eyes on the Knicks as they continue to celebrate their win. After finally securing the championship, the Knicks’ value is higher than it’s ever been. They have accomplished their goal and will continue to relish the accomplishment until it’s time to defend their title.
