Commissioner David Stern estimates NBA revenue up 20 percent in '12 - NBA - SI.com

Man Baseball needs to get it together. If the NBA passes it with all its perception problems then Seligs tenure should be viewed as a failure.

ratings breh. local tv deals are the reason why the MLB is still ahead. I say this as a mets fan.

Of the 4 major American sports, it's really the only American game with a truly global appeal to it, revenues will keep climbing with more and more foreign stars.

I guarantee you that when the CBA comes up again, revenues will all of a sudden be down 50%.

Contrary to what people believe here, baseball will do just fine in the position it is in now.

its not that, its just that the new CBA has made the league very competitive.

Which is smart on baseballs part because the nfl is the only truly national game so leagues shouldnt worry about national appeal because it will be a flash in the pan

People look at national ratings to compare the two but look locally and youll see how much mope popular baseball is then the nba in most cities

Most of these nba arenas are empty as hell meanwhile a record number went to baseball games last year

No its not. its a superstar sport. Jeremy Lin aint nshyt but he's bringing in a whole new revenue to Les Alexander, and he makes the Rockets worst.

NFL can put almost any teams out there on tv and get ratings, nationally.

Baseball has just a such global appeal if not more than Basketball. And Baseball is more global than basketball

The NFL can do that because of gambling & fantasy.
