To talk about the NBA is to enter the world of one of the largest sports businesses in the world. This increased over the years and the arrival of prominent companies, which made significant investments to give a quality leap to this competition in the United States.
Although historically the NBA was dominated by the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers, these two franchises were losing their power with the arrival of new teams. They made outstanding investments and over the years they balanced the proportion of power in this championship. This is why teams like the San Francisco Golden State Warriors, the Chicago Bulls and the New York Knicks are currently considered relevant teams in this tournament.
With these economic statistics, it is necessary to comment that teams like the Golden State Warriors had their growth not only due to economic investments, but also with the arrival of young promises, players who became idols for this team over the years. Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green were essential for the San Francisco team to currently lead this list.

On the other hand, it is no secret to anyone that the Chicago Bulls, led by Michael Jordan, changed the history of this sport and especially of this league. The arrival of this athlete generated many movements, which today are crucial for all basketball players to have a greater amount of income for their outstanding performances on the courts.
Likewise, the Chicago franchise is considered a revolutionary, since not only Jordan had all these privileges. Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman and Phil Jackson himself (coach of this team in the 90s) had the chance to enjoy all the economic growth of this group.
With these clear values, it is proven once again that the NBA is currently one of the most important businesses in the world, because it is one of the leagues that moves the most money for all its teams and athletes.
