thanks for link

i'd like to see how much higher up the list Miami went after the acquisition of the fatman and Wade being touted as one of the league's new superstar

top 3 is usually NYK, LAL and Chi, regardless of team records.

And Houston can thank Yao Ming for being ranked number 3.

Wow. the Clippers aren't last on the list. I thought the Spurs would be lower than #11

It's good to see Toronto at 14.

Yeah i was most surprised by how valuable the Raptors, Rockets, and Kings were considering how semi-successful they all are...the Kings are worth more than the Spurs.

They may not be winnig much, but the Raps generated as almost much revenue as the Pacers and Celtics last year, and more than the Cavs or Nets or Heat.

Toronto is a big market city; I expected them to be at a fairly high ranking.
