Adam Silver says he has talked to James Dolan about angry email

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver appeared on David Letterman this week to talk about the All-Star Game in New York, and the Knicks unsurprisingly came up.


With the NBA All-Star Game in New York this year, all the famous faces in the stands are coming out in more than one way to honor the game and get in on the action themselves. One of those fans in New York native David Letterman, who is retiring from late night this month but isn’t going out without giving basketball some love.

To honor the All-Star Game, Letterman had NBA commissioner Adam Silver on the show to talk about the big game and how the NBA has changed.

Among other topics, Adam Silver discussed with Letterman — however briefly — that he’s spoken to James Dolan about the angry email he sent to a Knicks fan.

The controversy really isn’t that big of a controversy if you follow Dolan and his antics as owner of the Knicks. There has long been a rift between fans and Dolan, whom many think is to overbearing and is actually holding his own team back by not letting things happen.

This email to an angry fan is not really out of the ordinary for Dolan, and Silver’s lack of surprise and anger over it is proof that there has been a tolerance built up to what the Knicks owner can and will do.
