To date, the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs are the only teams in the NBA to have not issued an official statement on the death of George Floyd at the hands of former Minnesota Police Officer, Derrick Chauvin.
The Knicks, on the other hand, they have had absolutely nothing to say, and the owner of the Knicks, Jim Dolan, even sent out an email to his employees doubling down on why the Knicks are not going to issue a statement over this tragedy.
Pablo Torre of ESPN claims to have acquired a personal email that Dolan sent out to Madison Square Garden employees, where he basically doubles down on the Knicks decision to do and say nothing.
On a lighter scale, this will make it even more difficult for the Knicks to acquire free agent talent, and on a more serious note, this is simply a disrespectful take for the Black employees of the Knicks– including the players.
Dolan continues to make himself public enemy number one in the eyes of the Knicks fan, and a laughing stock in the NBA community.
