The Los Angeles Lakers will again be the most televised team despite their sporting embarrassment

Despite being a mediocre team in terms of sports performance in recent years, LeBron James' Los Angeles Lakers continue to be the most sought-after team by national TV networks. This was evidenced by the recent release of the full NBA schedule for the 2024-25 season, where the Lakers top the list of teams with the most games broadcast nationally, totaling 39 games.

The schedule release is always a moment of great anticipation for NBA fans as it provides an early look at marquee matchups, revenge games, and more, generating a level of excitement that few sports can match. Undoubtedly, one of the first details fans look for is how many games of their favorite team will be televised nationally on ESPN, ABC, TNT, or NBA TV.

Surprisingly, despite the Lakers' unimpressive results in recent seasons, their media appeal remains indisputable. This season, LeBron James' team will be the most visible on television screens, surpassing historically strong and competitive teams like the Golden State Warriors, who will have 36 televised games, and the Boston Celtics and New York Knicks, both with 34 games.

The ongoing media relevance of the Lakers emphasizes the influence of LeBron James, a figure who, at 39 years old, continues to attract audiences. Although the team has not been able to translate this interest into consistent sporting success, the Los Angeles franchise maintains its position as the most attractive for TV networks, reflecting the importance of spectacle in modern NBA.
