NBA Team Incomes

http://www.nba.com/2009/news/12/09/team.values.ap/index.html

interesting to see how much money teams are making. larger cities with more disposable income have obvious advantages since they can charge more for tickets, which also gives them an ability to spend more on players and have a higher chance of winning. however, a few surprises: chicago we knew always made money no matter what because of the brand name, but they made the SAME amount as the Lakers who won the championship. Also, Boston doesn't seem to make that much money at all....or maybe the economic crunch hit them a little harder. Detroit seems to have a really strong fan base as they make money even when not good.

any other thoughts?

here are links to some previous seasons
