As a Knicks fan (they’re my #2 NBA team after LAL), they can’t really be compared.
Jerry took a proud but declining NFL team and, with a huge assist from Jimmy Johnson, who Jones was at least smart enough to hire in the first place, built it into the most valuable sports franchise on the planet. And even though we haven’t had ultimate success in 23 seasons, we’re usually reasonably competitive.
James Dolan, on the other hand, is a spoiled rich kid who was given control of the Knicks, the (hockey) Rangers, Madison Square Garden, MSG network and, eventually, Cablevision, by his then-aging and now late father Charles, who founded CV.
Other than selling Cablevision for a huge profit, Dolan hasn’t done much to improve the other above-mentioned NYC cash-cows, which he did little to earn earn — other than by chance of birth — and which he continues to play with like toys, to this day.
