James Dolan’s championship facelift is a far cry from his questionable Garden past

Rain on his parade or parade on his reign?

Don’t know if he’s able to provide an objective self-inspection, but Jimmy Dolan should cease his sudden public me-dancing to thank Leon Rose and Jalen Brunson for his overnight face-lift.

This is the time of year when Dolan would go underground, unavailable to the media and the public. Cablevision, owned by his father Charles, purchased the Garden in 1994. By 1995 Jimmy was the CEO of the company, which oversaw the Garden — even if he didn’t officially become Garden Chairman until 1999. So he has been in a seat of power since the year after a Garden team, the Rangers, won a championship.

In team years, that’s 60 years of futility, 30 years each for the Rangers and Knicks, years in which Dolan spent raising prices, blindly firing valuable customer-friendly good guys and gals, replacing them with “Yes, boss” servants until they, too, were fired, or resigned due to their inability to further compromise their skills to serve a know-it-all master who knew nothing — an empty Garden come playoffs time as proof.
