Despite the Knicks being terrible, they still sell-out a lot. They get the tourists to come to games, plus they're a NY sports team. But the Mavericks?!? Can't say I came in expecting them to be anywhere close to the top-10. I would have thought the Red Sox would be the Boston team on the list, not the Celtics.

knicks will get lebron....get yao......get rubio....every single market will be in our hands

Honestly surprised the Toronto Maple Leafs aren't on here.

Could you imagine that starting line-up of 5 different nationalities/race?
PG- Rubio (Spaniard)
SG- Gallinari (Italian)
SF: Lebron (American-Black)
PF: Lee (American-White)
C: Yao (Chinese)

They'd be a marketing powerhouse.

I guess, but I could have sworn I heard them in a "top 10..highest paid..something" type of list a few times. They make a ton of money, and not to mention fans still spend ridiculous money on tickets (prices keep going up, too) to sell out the ACC no matter how bad they are.

[Illmatic74]

My team(the Knicks) is the embarrassment of this list atleast all the other teams have trophies to show(even the Mavericks and Cavs have conference titles)

[Dynasty]

i'm surprised that Red Sox (Japanese market) or the Cowboys aren't on that list.
