"The Knicks’ home arena, Madison Square Garden, is in the final stages of a $980 million renovation, to be completed this summer," Forbes said. "The makeover resulted in an NBA-leading $243 million in revenue last season. Another plus: better play. In 2012, the Knicks won a playoff game for the first time since 2001."
The Los Angeles Lakers, who topped last year's list, are now second, with a value of $1 billion.
