June 25.

The NBA officially held a press conference.

at the press conference.

NBA President Jiang Han announced to the outside world the financial profitability of the NBA this season.

Count broadcasting rights income, advertising sponsorship fees, team ticket commissions, league logo product sales, league derivative product development, global promotion and other activities.

The total revenue of the 2022-2023 NBA season is 1.4 billion US dollars!

The total dividends of the 30 teams are 3.4425 billion U.S. dollars, with an average dividend of 114.75 million U.S. dollars per team.

At the same time, the details of the profitability of the 30 nba teams are also announced to the outside world.

The Los Angeles Lakers earned $178 million for the season.

The New York Knicks earned $157 million for the season.

Boston Celtics, quarterly profit of 109 million US dollars.

The Golden State Warriors earned $110 million for the season.

The Chicago Bulls earned $103 million for the season.

All 30 teams in the league are profitable!

Even the Oklahoma City Thunder and Memphis Grizzlies, which lost money in the first season, have a total profit of more than 39 million U.S. dollars this season!

This news immediately caught the eyes of the media reporters.

The total income of the nba league keeps rising every year, and the development of the league is booming.

It really is a commercialized professional sports league!

At this time, Jiang Han continued: "Among the four major professional sports leagues, the revenue of the NHL ice hockey league is 3.5 billion U.S. dollars, and the revenue of the MLB06 baseball league is 10 billion U.S. dollars.

NFL football league revenue is $14 billion.

The nba league's revenue of 7.4 billion US dollars is only half of the nfl football league [it's nothing.

In terms of team season dividends, each team in the NBA only gets $114.75 million, which is not as good as the $226 million that each team gets in the NFL.

But the NBA also has its own advantages.

For example, the global influence of the nba is much higher than that of the nfl football league and mlb baseball league.

For another example, the average annual salary of the NBA is 7.36 million US dollars, which is the highest among the four major professional sports leagues!"

Hearing this, many media reporters present nodded in unison.

Among the four major sports leagues, although the NFL league is the most profitable, but a team has to support 53 people, the average annual salary of players is naturally not much higher.

On a global scale, nba is also more famous and has more development potential than nfl football league and mlb baseball league.

As for the nhl ice hockey league, the gap is now completely widened by the nba basketball league.

The nhl ice hockey league with a revenue of 3.5 billion dollars is less than half of the nba league's revenue!

Jiang Han continued: "Currently, NBA officials are negotiating new broadcast contracts with ESPN and TNT, and the progress is good.

I believe that when the new broadcast contract is confirmed, the income of the NBA in the new season will continue to skyrocket!"

After saying this.

Jiang Han announced: "The NBA has decided to hold a series of summer basketball games during the offseason.

These events will be collectively referred to as the NBA Summer League.

The summer league is divided into three major events, namely the Salt Lake City Summer League, the Sacramento Summer League, and the Las Vegas Summer League.

The participating players are basically composed of rookies, undrafted players, marginal players on the bench, free agents, nbdl players, and international players.

They can show their strength through the summer league games to win the trust of the team.

In addition, the summer league will test some new basketball rules to see if they can be applied to the nba league. "

The voice just fell.

The media reporters present were a little surprised.

The nba season is long enough, and the offseason is only a few months away.

Moreover, the wnba league under the nba is in full swing.

Now the nba is going to hold the summer league again, which means that there are basketball games all year round, all year round!

A female reporter from the New York Times asked: "Mr. Jiang Han, how is the game time planned for the NBA Summer League? Is it more like two or three months?"

Jiang Han shook his head and replied with a smile: "From July 2nd to July 4th" the Salt Lake City reseason league and the Sacramento summer league will start at the same time.

There are 4 participating teams in the Salt Lake City Summer League: Utah Jazz, Memphis Grizzlies, Cleveland Cavaliers, and San Antonio Spurs. "

There are also 4 players participating in the Sacramento Summer League, namely the Miami Heat, Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers, and Sacramento Kings.

From July 6th to July 16th, the Las Vegas Summer League begins.

The 30 NBA teams, the Xiaguo national team, and the G-League Development League star team, these 32 teams began to compete for the summer league championship.

The league will also have a summer league mvp and finals mvp.

For specific summer league rules and game rules, you can log on to the nba official website to learn more. "

After that, a reporter from the Los Angeles Times asked: "Mr. Jiang Han, why is there a men's basketball team from Xia Guo in the Las Vegas Summer League?"

Jiang Han responded: "August 31st to September 15th is the period for the first FIBA ​​Basketball World Cup.

Xia Guo's men's basketball team plays the summer league with the NBA team, which can play a role in training.

NBA teams can also get in touch with different types of basketball styles, which can be said to be mutually beneficial.

In the future, teams may appear on the summer league stage. Teams from other leagues will also appear on the summer league stage. "

With such an explanation, everyone present immediately understood.

Jiang Han is from Xia Guo, he wants to provide a training stage for the national team.

In addition, Xiaguo has become the largest market in the NBA league in the world, inviting them to participate in the summer league will be beneficial without any disadvantages!

At this time, a Global Times reporter asked: "Mr. Jiang Han, the Basketball World Cup is from August 31st to September 15th. I would like to ask, does the league allow NBA players to participate in the Basketball World Cup competition?"

Jiang Han said bluntly: "National honor is above everything else, and the NBA certainly allows players to play for the country!

This is true of the Basketball World Cup, and the same is true of the Olympic Games.

The NBA League also hopes that a large number of talented international players will emerge in this year's Basketball World Cup.

In the future, maybe these international players can enter the NBA to play and become the mainstay of the league!"

Next, Jiang Han answered some questions from the reporters one after another, and ended the press conference.

On the major fan forums, netizens talked a lot.

"Damn it! The 9-year, 24 billion US dollars broadcast contract, the NBA has it, stuff!"

"Haha, I see how Fuji Xun Sports will end this time. They signed a 3-year, 600 million-dollar contract with the NBA three years ago. I wonder how much they will spend this time?"

"Who knows, now that NBA basketball games are popular all over the world, sports channels must spend a lot of money to buy broadcast rights!"

"Nba's annual revenue is 7.4 billion US dollars, ranking third among the four major professional sports leagues. This time, it has signed a sky-high price for broadcasting rights. It is estimated that next year there will be a chance for the four major professional sports leagues

two!

"The earning power of the NBA league is really terrible! They have only been established for a few years!"

"Jiang Han is really amazing. The NBA league, which was established from scratch, has come to where it is today in just a few years. It's really amazing!"

"By the way, Jiang Han, the president of the NBA, recommended himself three years ago and came to the sports channel in person. He hopes that the sports channel will broadcast NBA games for free. What I'm most curious about now is how much will the sports channel pay?"

"Sports Channel: I once had a three-year contract to broadcast the NBA for free, but I didn't cherish it. If God gives me another chance to do it again, I hope the contract will last for 10,000 years!".
