When in reality, people thought their favorite team was going to lose the NBA Finals and didn't want to sit through the pain?
Let's look at the attendance numbers shall we? And we'll do the years since Lebron left
2017-2018 NBA Attendance - National Basketball Association - ESPN
This season, #6 in the league, 19k per game, ahead of Golden State, Lakers, Spurs, Boston, OKC AND Houston
2017-2018 NBA Attendance - National Basketball Association - ESPN
2015-2016 NBA Attendance - National Basketball Association - ESPN
2017-2018 NBA Attendance - National Basketball Association - ESPN
We consistently finish top 5-10 in the league in attendance AND top 3 in TV ratings & average 19,000 fans a game/850k a year
Miami is still a football town as far as what kids play/what athletes we produce, but as far as fans/viewers we're really a basketball town now I deadass see more Heat jerseys/apparel being rocked more than any other team, except maybe UM gear, we have one of the best arenas in the league as far as atmosphere/location, and we consistently put a good product on the floor
