NBA `Rolling in the Deep (Dough)



#1 is the New York Knicks, #2 the Los Angeles Lakers, and #3 the Chicago Bulls.  These teams aren't exactly running away with the NBA, in terms of winning records, which proves that the relationship between winning on the floor and carving out profits isn't necessarily a straightforward one.  Here is the full story and list - Forbes Releases 16th Annual NBA Team Valuations.


Now this makes better sense, doesn't it.  The Miami Heat, Oklahoma City Thunder, and San Antonio Spurs are such superb teams, not just for winning on the floor but also spending wisely on players.  

Hmm, what to do with Michael Jordan's team, Charlotte Bobcats?  ESPN 1000 Waddle and Silvy interviewed Charles Barkley at one point, and he spoke openly about Jordan not being all that good of an executive.  It caused a rift in their friendship apparently, but it's the truth, and sometimes the truth is a hard pill to swallow.


#5 Dwayne Wade, #4 Kevin Durant, #3 Derrick Rose, #2 LeBron James, and #1 Kobe Bryant.  Rose has raked in the big bucks, while sitting out most of three seasons now.  Nice.  

Thank you for reading, and watching, and let me know what you think!
