James Dolan is one of the worst owner is professional sports.

That statement was probably true before the Knicks owner sent an immature, poorly-worded email in response to an emotional fan. But now, after the email became public, outcry is following the man responsible for years of bad basketball at Madison Square Garden.

From the quick fixes to ridiculous front office moves to overpriced seats to turning the Knicks franchise into a laughing stock, Dolan's stewardship of a marquee NBA franchise was embarrassing before he encouraged a life-long fan to root for the crosstown Nets.

This Jim Dolan email published by Deadspin is legit, sources confirm. Dolan wrote it. http://t.co/wwEAYWXtdl pic.twitter.com/yI4C0XPPiB — Howard Beck (@HowardBeck) February 8, 2015
