8. New York Knicks: $2.5 Billion
The New York Knicks will one day figure it out and be the kings of the National Basketball Association. Madison Square Garden will again be rocking and be the “Mecca” of basketball and of sports in the United States. Today is not that day, however, and that day is does not appear to be in the foreseeable future from what fans and analysts have seen from those running the organization. The Knicks are, for lack of a better word, a mess in the summer of 2015, well behind the best teams that will be atop the NBA standings next season. The franchise is worth so much because of where it plays, but that does not mean that buying the Knicks in 2015 would make for a wise investment.
