It was the 4th lowest watched NBA finals ever. Losing only to:
3rd. Spurs v Nets (2003).
2nd. Spurs vs. Cavs (2007).
1st. Lakers vs. Heat (2020).
Viewership for the NBA is at an all time low. Laughably low in fact. I enjoyed watching the finals but Adam Silver has to be shitting his pants at how viewership has cratered since the bubble.
It's not just the NBA, it's all sports. I can't wait for the NFL (which is the king of the ratings) but I think they'll lose viewership as well. People have more options on what to do with their free time.
