Saw this on espn last week

No NBA team in the top 40 how crazy

Texans shocked everyone but I think it's because of the deal Reliant gave them for naming rights

Not surprised that a NBA isnt in the top 10, but absolutely SHOCKED one isnt in the top 40. No wonder they need to fix games, they need to make that extra casshhhhhh on the side.

Just looked at the top 50, NFL just dominates the list of course Lakers #49 Knicks #50 really shocked that the Lakers are that low. Would have put a lot of money on them being top 20.

Leafs easily most valuable NHL team probably creeping up close to 50, that team increases in value every single year, it's a given...last year only 5 NBA teams were worth more than the Leafs. Probably around 60 th.

Another fairy obvious point I just thought of, in terms of NFL v NBA......the NFL has by far many more people to pay within an organisation. There are lots of good points why its surprising there are no NBA teams in the top 40 and many NFL.

don't think the salaries really dictate much...2009 cowboys salaries for players ranked toward the bottom in the nfl...and was about the same as the los angeles lakers salaries
