The message is clear. We LIKE the game of NBA basketball. We just don’t want the corporation (NBA) to push an agenda. I’ve noticed that the NBA has scaled back on all of that.

quote:

Turner's broadcast of the Heat’s 103-84 Game 7 win in the Eastern Conference finals averaged 11.9 million viewers, the network’s third-most watched NBA game ever.

quote:

The previous most-watched ECF game on TNT was Game 7 of Heat-Pacers in 2013, which averaged 11.6 million viewers. Per Sports Media Watch, the broadcast delivered the seventh-largest audience on any network for a non-Finals NBA game since the current television deal began in 2002. The most-watched game on that list is Game 7 of the 2016 Western Conference finals between the Warriors and Thunder, which averaged 16.0 million viewers.




quote:

Heat-Celtics Game 7 on TNT was viewed in 14.64 percent of Miami-Fort Lauderdale homes with TV sets, per Nielsen. That's roughly the same as the 15 rating for Dolphins-Bills playoff game on CBS, which is in more homes locally than TNT. Game 7 of Heat-Celts last year was at 12%.

11.9 million in a country of 330+ million, semifinals of the entire championship

sounds like a niche sport

I think that the historical implications of the Celtics possibly winning a series down 0-3 had the most to do with it.

Is it virtue signaling to go into NBA threads to announce you don't like the NBA? I think it is!

The NBA is also king of Twitterverse and Instagram country. So many more basketball players react to fans as opposed to other pro sports.

Basketball around the world is so far ahead of football. It is the gift that everyone loves. Look at the number one overall pick. Another big man that is going to rule the NBA and dominate the MVP trophy.

Damn shame Tatum blew his ankle out 15 seconds into the game.
