Knicks owner James Dolan yelled and cursed at a season ticket holder Tuesday night outside Madison Square Garden, Dolan confirmed to Deadspin.
Thirty-five-year-old lawyer Mike Hamersky saw Dolan near the arena before the Knicks-Bulls game and told Dolan he should sell the franchise.
"What if I showed up at your office and called you an [obscenity]"? Dolan said, according to Hamersky. "Because you are an [obscenity]!"
Dolan allegedly claimed Hamersky was intoxicated and had a security guard follow the lawyer around the area for a few blocks. Hamersky did not have any issues getting into the game, however.
The Knicks owner said he understands some of the criticism he faces, but did not want someone coming up to him while he was at the Garden.
"I get it. They call me names every day in the paper. Fine. I get it," Dolan said to Deadspin. "But you're walking up to the place where I work? It's like they're laying in wait for you. It's like stalking me outside my home. Some people tend to think of team owners like politicians. But we're not! I didn't run for any office. These people who yell at you act surprised when you yell back. It's like when I got that incredibly derogatory email, and so I wrote back an incredibly derogatory email, and these people are surprised?"
