Businessman

Getting somebody like Phil Jackson to come in and build the team is sort of like getting Einstein to help you with your math homework.

All I can do is keep moving forward.

I am by no means an expert in basketball.

We are honored to host the greatest players in the NBA in the newly transformed World's Most Famous Arena for the 2015 All-Star Game. Over its 134-year history, Madison Square Garden has been privileged to host some of sports most defining and enduring moments and we are thrilled to add this prestigious event to The Garden's illustrious history.

You have to let the team develop. You can't say, 'Oh, I got empty seats, I'm going to change the team.' It just doesn't work that way.

And it's great to watch an underdog win.

If you go to a Liberty game, they're fun basketball games to go to. But I'll be damned if I know how to get people to go to those games.

I'm an artist, and an artist doesn't worry about being politically correct when I write.

I don't make my decisions by P.R. I make my decisions based on what I think is right or wrong.

We believe a large-scale, next-generation venue will not only become a premier destination, but also drive growth in London's overall music and entertainment market, benefiting artists and fans, and serving as a long-term investment in the future of this incredible city.

Even if your teams are doing lousy and you don't have a good concert, you are still going to be Madison Square Garden, you are still going to be the 'showplace of America.'

I signed a contract with Phil Jackson, the man who has more championship rings, as far as I know, than anybody else. He was the best guy we thought we could find to run the New York Knicks.

There's no game I come to where I say, 'We can't win this game.' That's important.

I think it's a requirement that the general manager and the coach are communicating with each other on a regular basis, and it's unacceptable if they're not.

As the head of the public company, you can't say you can't sell, because then you're telling your shareholders that your own personal feelings about your assets are more important than their money. And they won't invest with you if you do that.

I could never say that I wouldn't consider selling the Knicks.

When you have a chance to get Phil Jackson to run your team, you just do it, plain and simple.

I can tell you that nobody in my family wants to sell the Knicks and Rangers. As a majority owner, I don't want to sell, either.

Yeah, you will hear from people that my passion will sometimes result in a very effervescent or sometimes excitable senior executive.

I am not going to fire Glen Sather.
