With news of declining TV viewership and some unparalleled public relation guffaws, the Forbes annual report on the financial state of the NBA was something we’ve eagerly awaited. How would these events impact team financials and would the massive shifts to the OKC Thunder drastically alter their valuation?
To that end, the annual Forbes list was released highlighting the valuations of all 30 NBA teams and shifts within the Association over the last year. Some teams made big gains in a year and the OKC Thunder find themselves on an island in one specific area.
Another irony is one franchise can do whatever they want with apparently no effect on their league-leading valuation position.
