James Dolan can drop apples on paying customers. His employees should be more careful about expecting jewelry.

I know a woman who worked at T-Mobile Arena and got a Golden Knights championship ring. I’m not entirely sure what she did.
That’s a limitation in my knowledge of her job, not a criticism of her contribution. She worked there. The team won. Somebody decided she belonged in the celebration.
A fairly pleasant sequence of events.
At Madison Square Garden, they added a trap.
According to The Athletic’s reporting, Knicks assistant coaches received empty ring boxes during the championship ceremony. They were supposed to get the actual rings later. Meanwhile, an email offered MSG employees a choice of championship rings. Clicking the link earned them mandatory cybersecurity training.
Imagine thinking your employer appreciates you and being required to attend a class explaining why that was foolish.
