That may sound like a lot of money, and it is, but comparatively speaking it's low. In fact, the Sixers -- owned by Joshua Harris and David Blitzer -- are the 25th most valuable NBA franchise.

While a value of $800 million is more than just five other NBA teams, Harris and his investment group won a bid for the Sixers from Comcast Spectacor of just $280 million in 2011.

The New York Knicks are the NBA's most valuable team at $3.3 billion, followed by the Los Angeles Lakers at $3 billion. You can see the full list here
