The value of the global sports market will exceed 600 billion.

After two consecutive shrinking seasons, the NBA finally ushered in the 2021-2022 season of returning to 82 regular seasons.

At the milestone of the 75th anniversary, the NBA has obviously added more weight in developing commercial value.

Before the start of the season, NBA president Adam Xiaohua optimistically predicted that the league’s revenue in 2021-2022 would reach $10 billion for the first time.
