Both Game 1 and Game 2 of the NBA Finals between the L.A. Lakers and the Miami Heat have suffered the worst ratings crash in the league’s entire TV broadcast history.

Despite the matchup including two of the league’s biggest stars (LeBron James and Anthony Davis), Game 1 of the Finals on Wednesday was a huge ratings disappointment for the NBA.

Game 1 averaged only a 4.1 rating and 7.41 million viewers on ABC, “comfortably the lowest rated and least-watched NBA Finals game on record (dates back to 1988),” Sports Media Watch reported.

But if the league thought things might improve for Game 2, it had a bitter pill to swallow because the second in the series did even worse than the first.

Game 2 cratered with just 4.5 million viewers and a dismal 1. 9 in the ratings. This embarrassing showing was down 68 percent over Game 2 in 2019.

The 2020 Game 2 event now rates as the lowest ratings ever for an NBA Finals game. Until Friday, Wednesday’s Game 1 was the lowest-rated in league history. So, it seems the Finals keep going down.

Excellent work guys.

But you can still do worse if you stay committed to your hate America agenda. You’ve only scratched the surface of your downward spiral.

Remember, if you can dream it you can do it.

Drew Brees needs to pay attention to what merging politics and sports can do.

It’s really not a very interesting matchup. Everyone expected the Lakers to roll and until tonight, they were.

Business analogy. In the late 80s Pepsi had this new young hotshot international VP, swinging these deals to make them a playa in china, he was on all the business magazine covers.

Then the largest international bottler in the world for Pepsi, Venezuela (Pepsi dominated and their economy was rocking back then). Closed the doors on Friday, and when he opened on Monday he was the Coke bottler.

Enrico, the CEO of Pepsi called the bottler and he said "Mr. Enrico my family has been loyal for decades, this hot shot VP spending all his time in china never even picked up the phone to call me, his largest customer".

In the words of my grandmother, God rest her soul, "You dance with the one that brought you to the dance".

Lebron runs to the locker room before the game is over tonight leaving the Lakers with only 4 men on the floor.

What a gaping vagina he is. Truly a piece of shite of the highest order who dares to say he's better than MJ.

No lebron, you're straight trash and a baby who deserts his team and hates the country that pays him millions of dollars to just shut the hell up and dribble the ball.

I wish him nothing but failure in life.

Why isn’t China providing good ratings?

They are competing with WNBA Finals, so those numbers are flawed.
