4. Clippers US$6.72 billion 5. Celtics US$6.35 billion 6. Nets 6.22 billion US dollars

As a consecutive 5th The Warriors ranked first in terms of valuation in 2017, with a net worth of US$11.33 billion, which can be called a perfect example of "star-driven commercial value". Fifteen years ago, the Warriors' market value was only $315 million, ranking 77th among the 92 professional sports teams in the United States. All this turning point began with the selection of Curry in the 2009 draft. Since the Warriors selected Curry, the Warriors have won four NBA championships in the past 10 years, and Curry has become the NBA's historical three-point leader. This has continuously doubled the team's market value.

The Lakers ranked second with a valuation of US$10 billion. They even completed the change of ownership at this sky-high price this summer, setting a new record for the transaction amount of a global sports club. What you need to know is that the average valuation of NBA teams is only US$4.4 billion, and the Lakers' transaction premium exceeds 40%, which is enough to show how terrible the Lakers' market value is.

Although it cannot be compared with the Warriors and Lakers, the Rockets ranked tenth with 5.53 billion US dollars. Despite the ups and downs in the past few seasons, the team has always maintained stable commercial appeal relying on Houston's space city economic foundation and huge fan base. The Rockets have accumulated a deep fan base in China due to the Yao Ming effect, and this cross-cultural influence still brings continuous sponsorship and broadcast revenue to the team.
