Last night teams collectively shot more than 1100 3 pointers, the most in any given day in NBA history. It averaged out to nearly 80 a game! Fans that hate the current product surely would've been in misery yesterday if they watched.

I know they are licensing some games from other networks.  But they sure are paying a ton of money to an NBA crew considering they don't actually own the right to broadcast any NBA games.

Got real excited seeing the Pistons in the upper right quadrant but then I realized that it was only for the last 10 games, still good to see though.

Pistons are #25 at $3.45 billion.  Revenue of $306 million EBITDA of $81 million.

CNBC’s Official NBA Team Valuations 2025: Here’s how the 30 franchises stack up

Quote

The average National Basketball Association team is worth $4.66 billion, according to CNBC Sport’s official NBA valuations. This places the league between the average National Football League team, worth $6.49 billion, and the average National Hockey League team, worth $1.92 billion. 

The most valuable NBA team is the Golden State Warriors, worth $9.4 billion. The Warriors generated $781 million in revenue — net of their revenue-sharing payment — during the 2023-24 season, the highest in the NBA. The Warriors own their home arena, San Francisco’s Chase Center, from which they also earn revenue from non-NBA events. The team raked in nearly $200 million in sponsorship revenue last season, nearly double that of any other team, according to a league executive. 

It may not be surprising that the value of the Warriors has increased at a 24% compound annual growth rate since Joe Lacob and Peter Guber paid $450 million for the team in 2010. After all, the Warriors have won four NBA titles over the past decade, moved into their state-of-the-art arena in 2019 and have been led by two-time league MVP Stephen Curry.

Should Adam Silver be concerned about his job?

Things might get a little warm if ratings are down come playoff time.

he should be, but as long as they still have that fat expansion fee coming and that massive tv contract he should be ok.

its very hard to create an all star game when none of the participants give a damn.  they cant force them to care.

they'll try some international thing but i'm not sure that will work either.  the us players simply wont care.  there is no us-canada rivalry to motivate star players.

I go back a bit...the all star game post NBA/ABA merger in 1977 was awesome.  You got to see guys like Dr J and Gervin going against guys like Kareem and Elvin Hayes for the 1st time.  That a game from almost 50 years ago is the only all star game I have a clear recollection of says something about the All Star game.  Four nations has been fun...but the rest of the laegue's all star formats are lacking. Baseball is OK, but interleague play kinda ruined the mystique of hat one.  Football's "all star" game  is pretty much dead.  

Are these games even worth doing these days?

I think this is where I am at.  

My guess.  The league knows the players and fans both hate it.  But it probably still makes money so they keep having it.

I was big into it in the 90s when it was on during the day on NBC, since it's been on prime time the only times I really watched was when MJ made his return in 01 or 02 and the year the Pistons had all their All Stars. Aside from that I don't think I've watched more than an hour total of the actual game in 25 years.
