online and barbershop discourse still can't move off of MJ...even some media. shyt is past lazy.

It's a very respectable number but the last Game 7 of the Finals in 2016 over 30 million people watched.
Obviously Indy won’t be back but these champs need to actually make it multiple finals in a row to build up some familiarity. Okc has the best shot. NBA got their parity period for 7 straight years, they need a juggernaut again
Not bad at all.If that was LA/NY, they would be well into the 20s or 30s I would reckon.
Post-bubble dip is gone.
What now for the regular season?
It’s almost like it featured two of the most popular athletes in the world of the last 25+ years
Its regular season is, yes.Is the NBA still dying?

I didn't know Shakespeare was an NBA fan
Who do you think is better, Beethoven or Nas ?
Also, to be clear: NCAA mens final averaged 18.1, this game 7 averaged 16.3.
So the amateur final is still outdrawing the 7th game of the pro championship.
But with this, the NBA did move ahead of the collegiate semifinals to now have the second most viewed basketball game this year.
Advertisers count sustained not peak, peak could be "oh, what happened to Hali?" and then back to netflix.
Will be interesting to see if viewership spiked mid first, or mid fourth.
NOW nikkaS CAN
Funny that thru the semifinals (so the first 12 series) the nba reportedly had the highest ratings in a handful of years with OKC/DEN game 7 being peak viewership…
…then Knicks/Pacers (13th series) was high ratings…
…OKC/MIN (14th series) was low…
…and finally OKC/IND (15th series) was low until a massive game 7.
Basically they had a heavily watched playoffs for the vast majority of their typical 15 series’ / 2-months stretch.
Ppl just like to be overly dramatic on any one series that’s low but ignore the other dozen

Lebron vs Steph rematch?
And were services such as League Pass, YouTube tv, Hulu+ and on (with a chrome cast, Apple TV, smart tv app etc) really popping like they are now or even available?
I also wonder why people completely neglect the digital angle of things and focus solely on cable tv. They are on the internet talking but can’t process that people use various internet based services
