ESPN did show the NBA Conference finals, including the one in 2018 when LeBron James was at the height of his popularity. And, that game failed to draw as many fans as the Iowa-UCONN game did.
Guarantee it won’t get those ratings next year.
The NCAA men’s semifinals. Remember just two days ago touting ESPN ratings while omitting ABC is the flagship station for basketball and not ESPN.
If James was at his peak by definition she is not outdrawing him.
But hey when they bastardize NBA seasons in a bubble, she out drew the NBA finals!!!!
