Dolan will reportedly skip the NBA Draft for a concert with his band, JD & The Straight Shot.

This is just the newest chapter in a long saga of hysterically irresponsible words and actions from James Dolan. Knicks fans might actually be happy that Dolan won't be around during the draft, but this is a flat-out embarrassing headline to be able to write. If it's true, that's so weird.
