The end of the year is approaching and it is time, among other things, to do the math. To see that everything adds up and to analyze whether business has gone well or badly. The NBA has been going well. Very good. Once again, the North American basketball league has seen its value grow and, with it, that of its franchises. It’s not news, because In the last four years the value of the equipment has grown an average of 50%. An absolute outrage for any business, be it sports or not.

The first place continues to be occupied by Golden State Warriorswhich have become the first NBA team with a value greater than 9,000 million (9,140)after growing 10%. Following closely behind are the two franchises that used to occupy the top two spots until the meteoric rise of the Warriors: the New York Knicks (8.3 billion) and the Los Angeles Lakers (8.07 billion).
But The big surprise on the list prepared by Sportico comes in fourth position. It is occupied by the Brooklyn Nets. The team coached by Jordi Fernández is the one that has increased its value the most in 2024. And with many differences over the rest. The increase has been 43%which has made him rise nine places on the list and stay close to the podium. To get an idea of the rush, The 30 teams in the League have grown an average of 15.6% this year.
The Nets now cost 5.7 billion and they join the second group, the one behind the Warriors, Knicks and Lakers, and who have exceeded 5,000 million in value. It includes the Los Angeles Clippers (5th), the Boston Celtics (6th), the Chicago Bulls (7th) and the Miami Heat (8th). The Clippers are the second franchise that has grown the most in 2024, with an increase of 25%. The others that grow above 20% are the Atlanta Hawks, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Milwaukee Bucks. At the far end, The only two teams that have not achieved 10% growth in value in 2024 are the Phoenix Suns (8%) and the Memphis Grizzlies (9%).the team with the least value in the NBA with 3.06 billion dollars.
