Without LeBron, NBA Ratings Down 30% from Last Year's Opener

A real issue to watch for ESPN/Turner this year is LeBron's impact on viewership with his move to LA. Celtics-Sixers drew a 2.3 overnight on TNT, down more than 30% from a 3.5 for last year's Cavs-Celtics opener. One X-factor, though, was the ALCS yesterday.
GS-OKC drew a 2.1.

I forget that for the ESPN/TNT doubleheaders the first game isn't gonna have LeBron's team in it very often.
That kinda does suck for the ratings.

Hopefully it's people not giving a rats arse about the NBA.
The mid October start date is gay AF. Back in the good ol days they started on Halloween.

Shut up old man. Your feelings are irrelevant.

Not a lot of people want to watch a league in early October when they know what team will win the championship come June. I don’t think it’s soley based on lebron.
It’s the second time in 3 years the fastest car on the racetrack got a NOS upgrade (Durant, Cousins).
I’m still watching but I can’t blame people that don’t.

They created this to give Lebron more rest during the season

I’m not watching over playoff baseball

Outside of Lebron the NBA gets pretty shitty ratings. The narrative that it’s exploding in popularity is kinda bs.

Wonder if the percentage was higher when Jordan was out?

I had many rough days at school back in my school days for staying up late muting the tv with the lights off in my room watching the lakers lol. It was worth it

It's football season. We'll still have 7 months of the NBA after that.

I pity how utterly empty someone's life has to be to watch a regular season NBA game in October.

That just shows what is wrong with the NBA.
The truly ONLY market ONE player - Lebron.
They do talk about the Warriors/ Celtics/ Rockets........but the whole league is geared towards Lebron.
It will die when he is gone..........because they have no back up plan.
