Knicks owner James Dolan takes a lot of criticism in this town. Some of it is deserved.

But Dolan should get some credit for his actions Thursday night.

Dolan donated $100,000 to the ALS Association as part of his participation in the ALS challenge.

Dolan donated the money after the MSG audience, on hand to watch Dolan's band, JD & The Straight Shot, open for the Eagles, set the "world record" for simultaneous kazoo playing.

Say what you want about kazoo playing, but the end result was a generous gesture.

Dolan was joined on stage by Carmelo Anthony, Amar'e Stoudemire, Henrik Lundqvist and John McEnroe.

"I’m honored to make this donation to ALS, and very proud that Eagles fans came together to make this moment happen,” Dolan said in a statement. “I want to thank Carmelo, Amar’e, Henrik and John for taking the time and having so much fun with us on stage, and to the fans at the Garden on Thursday for making this such a memorable event for an important cause.”
