  1. The TV deal alone is going from 50m a year to 200m a year for the rights from broadcasters. That should get them as a league well into the black. It's growing pretty well, and with more money behind the TV deal, the more marketing and spotlight it will get. I would expect it to continue to grow. If the Rockets ownership views one team as worthy of a $200m+ offer to purchase, that seems like quite an evaluation of the brand and its potential. The NBA isn't going to make their money back via profits, but the value of their equity should be worth way more than the ~1 billion or so they have invested in the last decade to get it off the ground. A couple expansion teams will cover that alone.
  2. They make ~15% of the revenue of the league, I think they have a reasonable case. The business is growing and the workers want a bigger piece of the pie, nothing crazy about that. The new broadcast rights deal starts in 2026 and will add 2.2 billion over 10 years, which means they should be profitable next year.
  3. 2 million to go away or 35x her salary? That's like the most aggy thing I have ever seen you post.
  4. The values have grown substantially in the last couple years:
  5. In case anyone was wondering if the Blazers are still being used by the mob to win bets, the Kings got screwed on a foul call to end the game in OT. They somehow call this foul on Westbrook, give continuation and Deni gets 2 shots to win the game with 1.5 seconds left on the clock after review. This was right after the Kings went up 1 point with 4.4 seconds left. So incredibly corrupt to determine a game on a terrible call, but then to also get the game time wrong and grant shots.
  6. Going to OT with the fucking Pelicans is not great...
  7. I advise everyone to make your own library of movies and TV shows by sailing the high seas of the Internet. Use Plex or Jellyfin to host on your own server, and make your own library. These big companies can't be trusted to allow access to content forever, and will not miss an opportunity to find ways to charge more for things you already paid for. Even if you "buy" a movie on Amazon Prime, if Amazon's license expires for it, you will no longer have access. It's total bullshit.
  8. So now the 3 NBA Cup champs are... See if you can remember without looking.
  9. Well it's in the report now: Did they go back and edit it?
  10. Leon Black and his hedge fund Apollo Global Management gave him $150 million dollars for like tax consulting and estate services in the 2010s after the Florida case, which is crazy. Fun fact: in 1991, Jeffery was made billionaire Les Wexner's Power of Attorney. They were real buddies. Another fun fact: Wexner was on the Board at Ohio State during the wrestler scandal that congressman Jim Jordan helped cover up. So he has a lot of experience in sex crimes and such.
  11. Who knew Normal Powell was the glue holding the Clipper's ship together last year.
  12. Lots of info about Epstein finances coming out. Lots of big names involved. NYT gift article link: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/16/magazine/jeffrey-epstein-money-scams-investigation.html?unlocked_article_code=1.9E8._9iO.89RDlsFP3_Px&smid=url-share
  13. Yeah, that contact with THJ and Amen was incidental and should not be called a foul. Him falling looked like he lost his balance trying to make the turn around the other players. The contact was so weak it was hard to tell in the replay if it had anything to do with it, and calling that live is just ridiculous. There is absolutely no way the ref saw the little brush of contact on the court.
  14. Good job Reed getting Jokic out, but they still gotta come from behind to win this one.
  15. Sengun and Jokic both at 5 fouls now.
  16. No fucking way is that a foul, he trips over his own fucking feet
  17. lol WTF is that call???
  18. Always more fun when teams are trading shots in the last 2 minutes rather than trading 5 million free throws.
  19. Sengun making that Jokic type shot over Jokic is pretty cool
  20. Queue the Benny Hill music...
  21. How was that an off-ball foul on a switch??? Guys brush each other all the time on that.
  22. KD's fadeaway is so smooth
  23. Reed with the sneaky steal and dunk!
