The team posted their worst record in franchise history at 21-61, which pushed TV ratings down 27% after a 54% drop the previous year. The Lakers still rank as the league’s most profitable team thanks to their $4 billion, 20-year TV deal with Time Warner.

The five franchises valued above the Lakers include Real Madrid ($3.26 billion), Dallas Cowboys ($3.20 billion), New York Yankees ($3.20 billion), Barcelona ($3.16 billion), and Manchester United ($3.10 billion).
