James Dolan isn’t happy about the NBA ’s new revenue sharing plan and is letting his dissatisfaction be known.

James Dolan watches the Knicks during Game 1 of their second-round playoff series against the Pacers on May 6, 2024.. “Soon, your only revenue concern will be the sale of tickets and what color next year’s jersey will be. Don’t worry, because due to revenue pooling, you are guaranteed to be neither a success nor a failure.

Dolan was also unhappy with the idea that the NBA will retain eight percent of the media deal without “sufficient justification” for that percentage or transparency into how it came to that figure.By comparison, he pointed out that the league is only retaining 0.5 percent in the current media deal for 2024-25.

That means fewer games for Regional Sports Networks like MSG, which televises a majority of the Knicks’ games.
