once again, facts > opinions... maybe if u took LeBron's ballsack out of your throat, u could post facts, not opinions, clown.

Do yo know math or averages, at all? Because looking at the numbers, the 2010 finals needed a massive Game 7 rating to have a slightly higher average. In fact, Mavs/Heat had superior numbers through the first 6 games (10.2 vs. 9.8). The 2012 finals' 5 games were also superior to 2010's (10.1 vs 9.6).

And the facts also say that the '15 and '16 finals were the most watched finals of the last 15 years, with Game 7 being the most watched game since 1998...and Kobe had nothing to do with it

No way you can tell me that Mike Conley deserves the biggest nba contract in nba history.

The amount of money that LeBron brings to the city of Cleveland and the nba in general is unmatched for any current player playing in the league.

He ougta be getting way more money on the market.

 

[Long Live The Mamba]

not really.. LeBron didnt drive up the prices for teams... Steve Balhmer and the TV contracts did.

u cant refute what i said tho... Steve Bahmer buying the Clippers for 2x their worth made other NBA teams value go up, as well as the huge TV contracts.

Business Insider:
The value of the average NBA franchise has nearly doubled in the last two years according to the latest valuations released by Forbes.com.
Of course, the biggest factor has been the $2 billion purchase of the Los Angeles Clippers by former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. Even if Ballmer overpaid for the Clippers,

2011 Heat-Mavs Finals had higher ratings than 2010 Lakers-Celtics through 6 games

ABC averaged a 10.2 household rating and 17.339 million viewers for coverage of the Mavericks/Heat NBA Finals, down 4% in ratings and viewership from last year (LAL/BOS: 10.6, 18.144M), but up 21% in both measures compared to 2009 (LAL/ORL: 8.4, 14.347M).

Keep in mind last year’s NBA Finals went seven games. Compared to last year’s six-game averages (9.7, 16.433M), ratings and viewership for this year’s series increased by 5% and 6%, respectively.

The last time the Heat and Mavericks played each other in the NBA Finals, the series averaged an 8.5 and 12.972 million viewers — solid numbers during the league’s mid-2000s doldrums.

I was a LeBron hater for LeBron on the court for years... obviously nobody can hate on him any more after this finals but... I always knew off the court, he was definitely an amazing role model in almost every way. An impressive man by all accounts, humble and generous, despite being totally unequal in gifts both physical and financial.

Nobody can ever say LeBron was their lapdog. And while LeBron played for the Cavs and the Heat, they needed to appease him like he was an actual king. For that I will always respect him.

Are you ready for that ether?


beginning of 2014 season

NBA Announces 9-Year Extension With ESPN, Turner, Through 2025

The massive increase in TV money is a direct result of the NBA’s recent resurgence. The current contract was signed in 2007, with the league coming off the lowest rated NBA Finals ever. The $930 million annual rights fee marked ‘only’ a 22% increase over the previous deal ($765M).

In the seven years since that contract was signed, regular season and playoff ratings improved dramatically. The NBA Finals averaged a double-digit rating each year from 2010 to 2013, topping the World Series in five of the last six years. The conference finals set records in 2011 (on TNT) and 2012 (on ESPN). ABC’s coverage of the shortened 2012 regular season was the most-watched on any network since the shortened 1999 regular season.



The players were principally responsible for that seven-year resurgence. Kevin Garnett‘s 2007 arrival in Boston rekindled the Celtics/Lakers rivalry, which started the league on its path back to relevance. Then, LeBron James‘ 2010 decision to sign with the Miami Heat kicked off four years of an unhinged media and fan backlash that sent ratings soaring.

The new TV deal comes nearly three years after NBA owners successfully engineered a massive redistribution of wealth that reduced the players’ share of basketball-related income to 50 percent. That was predicated on claims that the league was in dire financial health with most of the teams losing money. The players or owners can opt out of the current collective bargaining agreement in 2017, and another lockout is widely expected.

Guess what player was featured in 2011 and 2012 conf finals that broke TV records?

Record-Setting NBA Ratings

The NBA was must-see TV during the 2010-11 regular season. Ratings were up across the board as basketball fans were glued to their television to see how Miami’s Big Three would impact the rest of the league. The NBA on TNT averaged 2.45 million total viewers during the regular season, up 42 percent from 2009-10 and the largest regular season audience in network history. It remains to be seen if the NBA can keep up the strong ratings following the current lockout.
