According to a recent Sportico report, the Golden State Warriors, New York Knicks, and Los Angeles Lakers are the top three NBA franchises in terms of value, with their worth surpassing that of other teams by a significant margin. Golden State leads with $9.14 billion, followed by the Knicks at $8.3 billion and the Lakers at $8.07 billion, emphasizing the financial dominance these teams have in the league.
The average NBA team is now valued at $4.6 billion, which marks a 15 percent increase from the previous year and nearly doubles the average from four years ago. This rise indicates a robust growth trend across the league, underpinned by factors like team-related businesses and real estate holdings.
The Brooklyn Nets have experienced a remarkable increase in franchise value, rising to $5.7 billion and leaping from 13th to 4th in the rankings. This growth can be attributed in part to their venue, Barclays Center, being recognized as the world’s highest-grossing arena, which significantly enhances the team's revenue potential.
In addition to franchise values, the report highlights that NBA teams maintain the highest value-to-revenue ratio among major U.S. sports leagues, showcasing the financial strength and marketability of the league as a whole.
