The New York Knicks players received their championship rings earlier this week but a lot of staff at Madison Square Garden are not expected to be given one.
After a 53-year wait, the Knicks won the NBA championship by beating the San Antonio Spurs in this year’s Finals.
The roster was subsequently handed their rings ahead of the season-opener against the Philadelphia 76ers. But The Athletic have now reported that the Knicks’ assistant coaches did not get rings this week, while many employees at Madison Square Garden will not receive rings at all.
They stated: “The Knicks’ assistant coaches did not receive their championship rings during Tuesday’s ceremony, despite being handed ring boxes, according to league sources. Many longtime employees at Madison Square Garden will not receive rings at all, per team sources. Those employees got their hopes up in late September, when they were sent a fake championship ring offer as part of a phishing test.”
Jemele Hill has now responded to that tweet from The Athletic to hit out at James Dolan.
She wrote: “James Dolan is determined to kill every good vibe around this team, and bring every piece of bad karma their way.
“This is just utterly despicable. He makes it so hard to want good things for the Knicks because he has such a long history of treating people so poorly.”
