Lakers land big deal
The Los Angeles Lakers inked a five-year deal with Bibigo, a South Korean line of dumplings, sauces, and frozen meals. While other jersey patch deals are estimated to be around $7 million to $10 million per year, the Lakers are in a league of their own now.
Their new deal with Bibigo will land them more than $100 million dollars over the next five years. This is by far the most for any team in the NBA, but it comes with its benefits as well. The Lakers are the biggest organization in terms of following. And with the recent rule change, companies can use team logos outside the USA.
