Forbes names Lakers 15th most valuable franchise in world, No. 3 in NBA

The Lakers have long been considered one of the most valuable sports franchises in the world and certainly in the NBA and this year’s newest Forbes rankings maintained that yet again. The annual rankings have always featured the Lakers near the top and remained there this season, coming in No. 3 in the rankings of most valuable NBA franchises.

As has been the case in recent years, the Warriors rank No. 1 in the league and the Knicks come in at No. 2. The Lakers are valued by Forbes at $5.9 billion, coming just below the $6.
