Last-Place Knicks Valued at NBA-High $4.6 Billion

Scott Soshnick, Eben Novy-Williams and Michael Barr discuss a host of issues related to the business of sports, including Forbes Magazine’s 2020 NBA valuations, which are once again topped by the last-place New York Knicks, who are worth $4.6 billion. Rounding out the top three are the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors. Also discussed are the proposed changes in Major League Baseball, which is -- among other things -- considering adding teams to the postseason. MLB is also weighing whether to let its first place teams pick its postseason opponents. And also touched on is the English Premier League’s plan to launch a direct-to-consumer streaming service that may increase revenue for its clubs. The service may be ready for testing as early as 2022.Hosts: Scott Soshnick, Eben Novy-Williams and Michael BarrProducer: Colin TiptonSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
