When it comes to the NBA's big teams, the New York Knicks are definitely an alternative among them. Why? Unlike the Lakers and Celtics, the New York Knicks' 76-year team history has only 2 championship trophies, and it has to go back to the distant 70s of the last century. However, such a team that can't support the wall has basically achieved little success in basketball in the past 40 years, but it is definitely a leader in making money, so that small city teams such as spurs, pacers, and bucks can only be envied.
It stands to reason that the Knicks should have little market appeal, partly because of lackluster results and partly because the team's stardom is dim. Looking back at the Knicks' star representatives, in the past few decades, Ewing and Anthony can still put on the table to talk about it, but such a team that has nothing to do has always been the most profitable team in the NBA.
You may not have thought of it, if ranked by market capitalization, the New York Knicks are firmly ranked first in the NBA team market value list, although we are not the strongest team in the NBA, but we must be the most expensive team. In addition to the market capitalization, let's look at the earning power, in the 21-22 season, the Knicks operated $421 million in operating income and $178 million in net profit, second only to the Golden State Warriors in the league. The Golden State Warriors' roster is a star-studded team, and the Knicks rely on players like Randall to be the team's top card, and they can make a lot of money, if Curry, Thompson, Green, Wiggins, and Poole are all in the Knicks, then the Knicks are not going to heaven.
So the question is, how does such a team that doesn't even have a star make so much money? That's to say that Knicks fans are really rich. According to the NBA's official fan consumption index, that is, the cost of fans watching the regular season, Knicks fans spend an average of $936, equivalent to 6200 yuan. Watching the ball cost 6,000, what kind of family conditions are these, it really makes people sigh, there are too many rich people in New York. We're comparing other teams, like the Charlotte Hornets fans, who spend an average of $237 per game, which is not a big gap.
Knicks fans have a different mentality from other fans, going to the stadium to have fun, seeing the stars is more important, as to whether the home team can win, this matter has to be put back. Watching the ball is to find fun, in order to win or lose the fire, it is a bit of a draw. You see this mentality, The New York Knicks fans may be the most tolerant group of fans, so even if the Knicks play badly, the mass base of the people is also a lever.
It is worth mentioning that the star fate of the New York Knicks is not generally good. Taylor Swift, super beauty Bella and other stars are iron fans of the Knicks, and often come to the scene in their leisure time, which also attracts a lot of popularity for the Knicks. For fans, spending so much money to watch the ball on the spot, the stars can't see a few, but they can always catch up with the big stars in the entertainment industry, and the money is worth it.
