The Lakers are impressed by Luka Doncic's professionalism and methodology

Last season, the NBA averaged 18,147 attendances, the second best in the 2023-24 season, setting the benchmark in every attendance category. For the second time in league history, the total attendance rate in the regular season exceeded 22.3 million fans and the average attendance rate in the regular season exceeded 18,100 (other examples were in the 2023-24 regular season), and the NBA arena reached 97% of its ability on the third time. In addition, nearly two-thirds of regular season games were sold out, with 10 teams sold out in each game. The Heat and Mavericks ranked second in the league, with the longest selling-out winning streak in the league despite trading Luca Doncic, selling out all home games for 13 consecutive seasons (minus the pandemic season). Every game has been sold out for the Celtics, Warriors and Sixers since the 2021-22 season. -VIA Sports Business Magazine/April 22, 2025
