who owns the knicks

The New York Knicks are owned by Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. (MSG Sports), which is controlled by James L. Dolan. Dolan is the Executive Chairman and CEO of MSG Sports, overseeing the operations of the Knicks along with other sports teams like the New York Rangers. He inherited control of the team through his family's ownership, stemming from his father Charles Dolan's founding of Cablevision, which previously owned the Knicks before MSG Sports became the current parent company. James Dolan has expressed his intention to keep the Knicks and Rangers within the family and not sell the teams, hoping that his children or relatives will continue the ownership legacy
