NBA annual TV revenue: $4B China (CCTV & Tencent) versus $24B USA (ESPN & TNT).

Those numbers are outdated and incomplete, but basically describe the relative market size.

Maybe you are thinking of rate of growth.

EDIT: As tanilama pointed out my numbers are wrong. The USA (ESPN & TNT) TV deal is about ~$2.6B per year. The Tencent streaming deal is ~$1.5B over 5 years. I don't know about CCTV.

$24B USA is for 10 years?

Annually it says the revenue is 2.6B. Not sure how much revenue they are making from China on a yearly basis (Tencent's contract is 5 years).

> basically describe the relative market size.

pretty sure that basically describes the relative market valuation - given income differences/relative cache of the two different leagues, market size vs valuation would be vastly different.
