Those differences could be attributed to numerous things including comps to the rich and famous in LA, or maybe they increased the area of a bar selling overpriced drinks or a shop selling overpriced merch, either of which might be grossing more than the now "unsold" ticket would have generated.

But even if it actually is dropping the 36 ticket drop between 22 & 23 is certainly not a number that caused an emergency meeting in the sales department.

So when the team decided to shell out a huge individual season salary to LeBron to keep him in LA, and then drafted his son, it wasn't to sell tickets? The most overpriced merchandise is for sale in the stadium. I think the sales team would be more concerned with what the numbers would be without James there.

That's rich!

Bronny may never actually turn out to be anything, but he certainly will never be the disappointment Kwame Brown was.

Yeah, he was not ready for prime time. Jordan really pushed the Wizards to take him.

I must admit I've never asked myself, "what would Kwame Brown think about this?"

Rough crowd, guy played 11 seasons in the NBA, entitled to an opinion.
