Damn, that's actually surprising

This is why MLB>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>today's NBA. Not star driven, marketed around teams first, and the fact the MLB is more popular than the NBA illustrates their marketing strategy is fine. You won't see soap opera horse (the Decision, Uncle Dennis, Kevin Durant, etc, etc) regarding players in the MLB like you do in the NBA. Ratings confirm.
2018 MLB All Star game: 8.3 million
2018 NBA All Star game: 7.7 million
NBA scrub >>>> beisbol star
..
Who is Mike Trout? Some sort of cartoon fish?
Why choose the all-star game as indicative?This is why MLB>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>today's NBA.

Anyway, the MLB isn't more popular, or has more viewers than the NBA. Maybe in the US it has, but not worldwide.
8.7 million of people who were switching btween channels.
Baseball is like a 6hr game but the truth is no one ever watches every minute of a baseball game
Who gives a tbh.
Of course a 6’7 black dude with dreads is more regonizable than a pretty average looking white guy though
Physically, yes, but Mike Trout might be the greatest baseball player since Bonds..I'm a baseball fan, but I think it's strange that he can't seem to take off in the mainstream(he makes highlights and hits home runs, too, so it's not like his style is boring)Who gives a tbh.

You're still going with that despite the fact I have constantly told you that's not how ratings work?
World Series outdrew the NBA Finals last 2 years, despite the baseball post season having to go against the NFL. And yes, All Star game viewership is a good way to take a pulse here, since they're both heavily promoted national events.
Who the is mike trout.
last 2 years? i'm seeing an edge in 2016 which was a pretty big aberration for the MLB, but thats it
Did you really just compare All Star ratings to prove your point? I sure hope you’re joking.
NBA Finals ratings have generally been above World Series ratings except for when the Cubs finally won it.
Wake me up when an NBA game that isn’t impacted by the Sacramento riots has under 5,000 people at it like some MLB games.
I dislike baseball but even I know who the best MLB player is. Trout is a stud. But him not being a household name shows how much baseball is failing.
Neymar is probably more popular very the wrog reasons.
TbhWho the is mike trout.
Philo'ing?
NBA: 2018 ABC 10.4 (17.85M Viewers)
MLB: 2017 Fox Houston Astros 4, Los Angeles Dodgers 3 10.6/20 (18.705 M viewers)
And the comparison isn't apples to apples most the time. The World Series often has to go up against the NFL regular season. The NBA is driven by star power, and the biggest star in the game has been in the Finals for like a century straight. Prior to 2016, the World Series constantly featured small market/secondary teams. The Royals vs. Mets would be like the Bucks vs. the Clippers in the NBA Finals. I doubt that match up draws over 12 million on average (unless of course there was Lebron/Curry on one of the teams). Houston vs. Dodgers was a good litmus test matchup. One flashy big market team with some national appeal against a mid-market perennial loser that has zero national appeal. And it outdrew Lebron/Curry XV.

Baseball isn't about star power. People watch teams and don't care what Mike Trout is posting on Instagram. Yeah, baseball is failing so much it outdrew the NBA Finals the last two years. I also think this study is bull . Trout has 2.6 million followers on twitter. Faried has 300 some thousand. Highest viewed youtube video of Mike Trout is 5.0 million. Highest of Faried is 800K.
Yeah, you're Philo'ing. Do you realize the NBA starts in a previous year and then finishes the next? I'm going by the last two matchups we have on record. Anyhow, it depends on the matchup (the NBA is also subject to this. Let's see how a non-Lebron/Warriors Finals does?). If the Yankees (the Yankees are baseball's Lebron) make it and face a team like the Dodgers or Cubs, it'll stomp the 2018 NBA Finals.
