In the 2012-13 NBA season, the Milwaukee Bucks were the richest team in the league with net worth of $188 million, based on data reported by Forbes. The New York Knicks come in second place with a net worth of $180 million. The Cleveland Cavaliers and the Miami Heat are tied for third place with net worth of $159 million each.
Teams that were very rich last year, remain very rich and those that were not, have become a bit richer.
The only thing that matters is where you are compared to last year.
The Golden State Warriors, once one of the most dominant NBA teams, are now an also run. The Chicago Bulls and San Antonio Spurs are not as strong as they used to be but the Clippers, the best team in the West right now, will be around for awhile and will keep the Clippers in the spotlight.
But before you do that, I’m sure you might wanna try this tutorial on your own.
This list only includes teams in the NBA.
The figures listed are net worth, not revenue.
I’ll let you be the judge of whether this is a good approach.

Summary
But the truth is that while there have always been rich teams, what we are seeing today is an accumulation of wealth and resources.
You should be grateful for what your family has given you, and you should use it wisely.
If you’re in the US you can go play a game called ‘Strike It Rich’ at one of these places, where you spend a small sum of money and you’re guaranteed a chance at winning some money.
I suppose, but it must be difficult for the players to get a visa without spending too much.
Let’s start with the Milwaukee Bucks. The Bucks made history in 2008 when they won their first ever NBA championship. A big part of that was the team’s MVP, Monta Ellis. Ellis is an eight-time All-Star and he is also one of the two most high-paid players in NBA history.
