We Might See Highest Rated NBA Finals Ever

[FreeFall]

I'll bet you this won't be the highest rated ever.

you're on crack. No one likes Lebron outside Miami (now). Los Angeles wont be watching any of it, other than what few harxcore NBA fans there are. So that takes 20% of the rating stsyem completely out of the equation.

You really think people care about Kevin Durant who arent out cow tipping 4 or 5 nights a week?

I would say this year might be a MAJOR disappointment because of the numbers they got last year. Of course if Miami gets into an 0-2 hole then you might get some random interest from general sports people who are interested to see if Lebron not only loses another final but actually gets swept. Miami Dallas last year got record ratings but that's Dallas and all the buzz around the 'dream team'. The games were also relatively close which helps to keep 'casual' fans interests longer.

But people love to see people fail so maybe they will tune in and keep tuning in if Lebron and Co add another loss to their legacy of supposed 8 rings.

LOL

Next year the ratings will be even higher if he makes the finals.
