In 2013, that $413m was an increase on the previous year's $282m, a 46.4% increase.
In 2012, $282m was an increase from $240m in 2011, a 17.5% increase.
In 2011, that $240m was an increase from $228m, a 5% increase.
There is obviously a strong correlation between the 2012-13 lockout and team values, but the increase post-Sterling is roughly equivalent to that of the season heading into the lockout. So my only guess is that you mis-remembered when Sterling's rant came out (April 2014) and assumed this all happened one year earlier.
