    0 Houlihan Lokey Sports Industry Update Dear Clients and Friends, Houlihan Lokey is pleased to present its Sports Industry Summer 2020 Overview. We have included industry insights and select transaction announcements to help you stay ahead in the dynamic and constantly evolving sports sector. Driven by growing national and local media rights deals, digital platforms, and increased sponsorship monetization, recent years have witnessed several blockbuster acquisitions in the major U.S. professional sports leagues. We expect activity to remain high, especially for minority ownership stakes, for the foreseeable future as franchise assets remain scarce and institutional buyers enter the marketplace with increasing demand. In recent months, COVID-19 has sent shock waves through markets globally and captured the attention of the world. Since mid-February, COVID-19 has caused significant market disruption that is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. The sports industry has been particularly impacted with the cancellation of live sporting events, forcing sports leagues and franchises to reevaluate their business models for the duration of the pandemic. In recent weeks, leagues have begun to resume competition in empty stadiums, which has profound financial implications on teams’ operations and financial outlooks. We hope you find this update informative and that it serves as a valuable resource to you in staying abreast of the market.

NBA LeBron James to Return to Cleveland Superstar Announces He Will Rejoin Cavaliers Four Years After Bolting By BEN COHEN Updated July 11, 2014 7:18 p.m. ET LeBron James throws up powder moments before game four of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals in 2009. Associated Press LeBron James, the singular talent in his generation of newly powerful professional basketball players, has decided to return to the hometown team he once spurned, a move that will rearrange the NBA's competitive furniture for years to come. James ended weeks of speculation about his basketball future Friday by announcing he will sign with the Cleveland Cavaliers, the team he played for in the first seven years of his career. James left in 2010 for Miami, where he won two NBA titles with the Heat. That decision four years ago, which was broadcast in a television special called "The Decision," resulted in a backlash against James in a city that had once revered him. He was cast as a villain as soon as he said he would "take my talents to South Beach" to join fellow superstars Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. http://online.wsj.com/articles/lebron-james-to-return-to-cleveland-1405096366#printMode 1/4 7/12/2014 LeBron James to Return to Cleveland - WSJ Friday's decision was more understated and felt far less engineered.
