Madison Square Garden has denied speculation from Bill Simmons of The Ringer that James Dolan has interest in selling the New York Knicks. Simmons said Dolan was "courting offers for the Knicks."

The Madison Square Garden Company said in a statement that "the story is 100 percent false."

Dolan said in an interview with ESPN's Ian O'Connor late last year that he couldn't rule out selling the Knicks if the right offer came along.

Dolan took over as chairman of Madison Square Garden in 1999. 

The Knicks are believed to be worth $4 billion.
