NBA Viewership up 32%

[KingJay]

NBA's TV viewership up 32%, highest since 2010-2011 season

Whether it was this summer’s unprecedented player movement or the NBA’s abundance of intriguing story lines, the league's television ratings are up substantially from last season.

Between ESPN, TNT and NBA TV, the league’s viewership is up 32% this season and averaging 1.4 million viewers according to Nielsen, the highest start to the season since the 2010-2011 campaign. That was also LeBron James’ first year in Miami.

Last week’s Golden State Warriors vs. Oklahoma City Thunder game was ESPN's most watched regular season game (3.2 million) since Christmas of 2016. TNT’s opening night broadcast between the Cleveland Cavs and Boston Celtics, while ultimately marred by Gordon Hayward’s injury, was still the second-most watched season-opening telecast in the network’s history with an average of 5.6 million viewers.

It doesn’t hurt that the New York Knicks are a playoff contender with a budding MVP candidate, the Philadelphia 76ers are finally healthy and flourishing and the Los Angeles Lakers are playing well enough to be a legitimate free agent destination.

New young superstars better sport more fun to watch

 

[Redguard]

NBA has more star power right now plus almost every team has player to watch.

 

[THE MACHINE]

Super teams are hurting the league. Bron started...



....wait......what






So joking aside, superteams help because historically there are 8-10 teams featured on networks etc. Now that a large chunk of stars are on these teams instead of one, it’s beginning to make the matchups must see.

Last 10 years here are the champs:
Celtics
Lakers
Dallas
Miami
Spurs
Golden State
Cleveland

You can pick almost any 10year span in NBA history and struggle to find 7 different champs in 10 years.

Imma go ahead and say it. David stern did grow the league big time.
A lot of his heavy handed decisions have aged extremely well.
The baggy street clothes ban. Gave rise to sponsorship on what the hell is westbrook wearing.
Low key I felt it even freed NBA stars to experiment a bit.
Salaries have grown bananas. Jordan owns a bball team. 1st black man to do so.
Even nyk Dolan has promoted key black execs.
The NBA is also more progressive on social issues.
It's the golden years while we though Jordan years were.
