Types on media (pro, amateur, in between):

Fan GMs
Other level fans
League news reporters and / or essayists
Gossip reporters (basketball related and / or not)
Aggregators
Corporate talking head announcers, news digesters & repeaters, "brand" and self promoters
Analysts (light on quantitative investigation)
Quantitative analysts
Video analysts
CBA explainers
Data producers
Graphic producers
NBA / cultural hangout hipsters, riffers, goofs
Podcasters (many of these types)
Trolls, blowhards, ranters, etc.
Gamblers / advisors
Game historians
Clock punchers actually more interested in soccer, football, music, politics, food, tv / film, etc.
Ex and current team insiders maintaining visibility, occasionally saying something
Draft experts and opinionators
Trade generators (one sided or realistic)
What else?
Imo, most of the top paid rank middling to low on being interesting / valuable. But early mover / ladder climbers with I guess a sense of pitch for mass market or market slots.
