Thanks to a growing international fan base, lucrative television deals, state-of-the-art renovations and new arenas, many NBA franchises are continuing to grow in value, including the New York Knicks.

The average NBA team is currently worth $1.9 billion — a number that has increased with pace over the last five years. The Knicks, however, are worth quite a bit more than that.

Though they've struggled in recent years, Knicks owner James Dolan has kept the team at the top of net worth food chain for four straight seasons.

The New York Knicks lead the way, worth $4 billion by Forbes’ count, up 11% from a year ago. (And owner James Dolan says he’s been offered even more: a cool $5 billion.) The club is tied with the New York Yankees as the second-most-valuable U.S. sports franchises after the Dallas Cowboys, which is worth $5 billion.

The Knicks’ $1 billion renovation to Madison Square Garden, completed in 2013, produced new revenue opportunities. Despite nearly two decades of losing, the Knicks command premium prices for tickets, suites and sponsorships. The team’s local cable deal with MSG, worth more than $100 million a year, is the second richest in the sport behind that of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Just behind the Knicks in overall value are the Los Angeles Lakers, who are now worth about $3.7 billion, according to Forbes. The Golden State Warriors ($3.5 billion), Chicago Bulls ($2.9 billion) and Boston Celtics ($2.8 billion) round out the top five.

The Memphis Grizzlies and New Orleans Pelicans(roughly $1.2 million) are at the bottom of the list.

Without a doubt, the NBA is in a good place. The league's popularity is only growing, so it's safe to assume that these numbers will go up again in the future.
