Worst NBA Finals ratings in history, by a long shot, due to him being the ring leader of the NBA’s social justice for BLM.

It’s sad to see. The numbers for these Finals are historically bad and he has forever driven away millions of fans.

Quite The Contrast from Michael Jordan’s final shot in Utah and the mark he left by building the league.

Across the three NBA Finals games thus far, six Stanley Cup Final games, four rounds of golf’s U.S. Open, horse racing’s Kentucky Derby and Preakness and motorsports’ Indy 500 — each of which was postponed from May and June to August, September and October — all have declined double-digits, and ten of the 16 total telecasts have sunk by at least 50 percent.

In a bleak year for televised sports, the three record-low NBA Finals games rank among the five most-watched non-NFL live sporting events since the wave of cancellations and postponements in March. Ranked by viewership, the Kentucky Derby holds the top spot (4.8, 9.26M), followed by Game 1, Game 2, NASCAR’s return at Darlington in May (3.7, 6.32M) and Game 3. No non-NFL sportscast has cracked a 5.0 rating in the ten months since the College Football National Championship in January.




If you can't figure out why ratings are down besides cuz of your agenda you are part of the problem. Who wouldve ever predicted that interest in sports would be down during all that is goin on or that having every major sport going on at the same time would lower ratings for each individual sport?

Just give the guy his props and move on. The NBA has supposedly died 3x in my lifetime. It'll come back, probably really quickly..

I think sports going away for 2 months made people realize they don't need them as much as they thought.

Game 5 in 2019 - 18 millions viewers

Game 5 in 2020 (on a Friday night with no other sports being played) - 5.7 million viewers

This is a titanic level collapse for the NBA.

That’s a horrible excuse. It is directly related to the BLM propaganda that the NBA and LeBron constantly churned out. He’s the face of the league and led the charge.

The NFL hasn’t lost 66% of their audience and neither has CFB, because they didn’t go all in on BLM.

Those damn horses and their BLM agenda ruined the Kentucky Derby and Preakness ratings too.

There is a huge overlap in sports fans. Casual fans that normally watch the NBA finals like myself simply didn't have time

And the NFL games that did go all in on it did have steep declines, when the scaled it back the ratings increased

It must be really frustrating not being able to see life past your bias and stupidity.

Maybe everyone that skipped out on the NBA because of their political propaganda can be found in this thread. The rest of the ratings collapse was just bad luck.

Can’t wait for LeGOAT to win his 6th title and become the all time scoring leader within a few months of eachother. His haters might set themselves on fire
