Forbes ranks the Chicago Bulls third behind the Knicks and Lakers on its annual list of the most valuable NBA franchises. Purchased by Jerry Reinsdorf for $16 million in 1985, the Bulls are now worth $511 million. They had the league's second-highest operating income last season, $51 million. All these numbers are the same as last year. [via]
