Multi-Billionaire Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Boston's series-clinching victory over the Cavaliers in Game 6 of their semifinal series on Thursday night was the second-most watched basketball game ever aired on ESPN. The broadcast drew a 6.6 rating on the cable network and averaged 6,552,000 households and 8,983,000 viewers. Only Game 4 of last year's Western Conference finals between the Lakers and Nuggets did better on ESPN. http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/66598/20100515/celtics_cavs_clincher_earned_near_record_ratings/ Whooaa I didn't know last year's WCF Game 4 was the most watch bball game EVER on ESPN :o Interesting. We'll be back next year !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobe24 Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Kobe and Melo got more ratings than Lebron and Pierce/KG/Allen? Imagine how much higher ratings would be if it was Kobe/Lebron.. which seems like it will never happen lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multi-Billionaire Posted May 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 What's more surprising is this Game 6 should be bigger considering:- It's the only NBA playoff game around with all other teams are in Conference Finals waiting... bball fans only have this game to watch- It's the game the underdog Celtics are suddenly favored to beat the best team in the NBA- If Celtics beat Cavs, it's the drama of possibility of LeBron's final game as a Cav, how would he respond, how would he play, etc... this should be the biggest reason... I actually watched it just to watch LeBron lol And Nuggets-Lakers Game 4 drew more than this game was surprising... even if it was WCF.
