A trend of low ratings throughout the NBA postseason has now reached the NBA Finals. And hit it hard.
Game 1 of the Finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat brought in only 7.41 million viewers to ABC, according to The Hollywood Reporter. That is reportedly the lowest viewership seen for the Finals since at least 1994, when total viewers began to be regularly recorded.
The number is down 45 percent from last year’s Game 1

Dead. Good. https://t.co/KHTLa2yjn2— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) October 1, 2020
Good.
I hope the league folds and they all have to get real jobs.
Bwahahaahahaha!!!! Get woke! Go broke!
In the weeks that follow the closure of the season...I’d expect the owners to huddle and discuss this ‘mess’ they’ve been handed. Profit from the TV contract continues, but once this TV contract runs out...I’d expect the networks to trim their offering for the new contract by a minimum of 30-percent.
If you count in Covid-seating and marginal interest in fan merchandise...you gotta resolve this problem in the next twelve months or tell the players to face up to a salary cut coming down the line.
i don’t know this nba thing people occasionally mention...
“broke”
Not enough punishment, not enough pain.
Good...
Maybe they can all work at COSTCO(low seniority) helping people get boxes off the second shelf.
The ratings crash, what could it possibly be? What motive?
I think a lack of diversity is hurting them. They need women players.
Yes that would be great. The days of big cities and funding these arenas are coming to an end thanks to the left who like a zombie virus eats alive all it touches given enough time.
What does the NBA play?
James is a big uneducated dummy who is your typical twitter activist. they don’t know sh&t about anything.
They won’t fold, but new contracts going forward are going to take a huge hit. I really think all white owners should sell their franchises to minorities and let them deal with the aftermath.
I agree it’s not enough and most do not even care about broke, they have an agenda they’d rather push.
Also, many of these teams are in leftist areas even in conservative states the cities they play for are heavily minority and left. the owners feel “safe” supporting a black anti american racist group like BLM.
How these vile thugs can get on tv wearing shirts of an org that has promoted over throwing this country and killing cops yet still have a job, but just being a conservative can get you fired is a scary thing in this country.
Better pray dumb whites who live in suburbs get that they will be targeted like never before if Biden wins,
He makes Shannon Sharpe and Mushmouth sound intelligent.
In both the NBA and the NFL, it should be great to see what happens when the revenues are down, and the new player contracts come up.
They won’t be able to pay these players the money they expect. We shall see, when that happens, just how “woke” the filthy morons really are.
My guess is they will buckle to the green.
