Maybe the people wanted to see Lebron lose so badly?
Last night drew a 9.4 share on network TV for a total of 9.4 million viewers. Games 5 of the ECF drew a 6.3 share for a total of 10.075 viewers on TNT, Game 6, also on TNT, drew a 6.2 rating for 9.995 million viewers.
The one constant is the Magic, so it appears that the people have spoken, they prefer Lebron to Kobe.

I have a hard time believing Lebron has more haters than Kobe. I mean Kobe plays for a polarizing franchise, and he raped someone.
sounds good to me, as long as we win it's all gravy...at least it's not the 2007 Finals (where maybe 5 people watched those games)
Kobe Bryant has most sold jerseys.......
Would you rather have the more popular player or the player that wins?
And, your numbers are skewed anyway. The longer the playoff series goes, the more people will tune in. Games 5, 6, and 7 are generally more viewed than games 1-4. What was the share and viewership for game 1 of Orlando-Cleveland? That's a little better gauge. Plus, last night was a blowout in the third and fourth quarters. That loses viewership.
But, if it's solace for you that LeBron is more "popular" than Kobe, good on ya.
Nice to see someone took this thread to the "would you rather win or have high ratings?" question because I never saw it going there.
because he changed his number so all the 8 jerseys were obsolete. Lebron has had the same jersey for 6 years.
Plus, when Cavs fans go to buy a jersey they have to make a tough choice between buying Lebron over Mo Williams, Andy, Z and even Wally. The Lakers only have 1 jersey to buy.
Lil Dez is keeping LeBron company now
solid point...I know I'd have a hard time deciding which jersey I'd want from that stellar talent pool
that is the thing they forget to mention when they make the top jersey list. There are so many options when it comes to buying a Cavs jersey. I didn't even mention Boobie Gibson, Delonte West and Ben Wallace. Those guys all steal sales from Lebron.
Doesn't TNT pull higher ratings than ABC? If that's the case, the comparison is invalid whether or not the Magic are the 'only constant'.
lol if thats all you have going for you..by all means
What are basing this evidence from? I can say the same thing about Lakers, Im pretty sure people have a hard time chosing between Pau Gasol Odom Kobe or even Bynum.......
A cable company pulling higher ratings than a channel everyone has? That's pretty crazy if true.
I would think that more viewers can watch something on ABC than they can on TNT. That's the whole reason they put it on network television to begin with because you have to have cable to watch TNT- anyone with a TV can watch ABC
I was looking for ratings from the Rockets' playoff run but they don't post numbers for specialty channels.lol if thats all you have going for you..by all means
Exactly, you can't go out in public these days without seeing a plethora of delonte and boobie jersies around...Kobe has an unfair advantage here
I typed "Rockets NBA TV PLAYOFF RATINGS" just now into google, and my computer started laughing and called me an assholelol if thats all you have going for you..by all means
There's also that at every Lakers game that sits right behind the Lakers hoop wearing a Walton jersey.
The Cavaliers make like 5 different retro jerseys every year.
LeBron has been third in jersey sales the last two years.
I fail to the reason for the thread in the first place. You basically made a thread to say, "hooray, LeBron is more watched than Kobe!" What's the point?Nice to see someone took this thread to the "would you rather win or have high ratings?" question because I never saw it going there.
Lakers vs Rockets game 6 = highest rated playoff game ever on ESPN
Maybe I'm mistaken but I thought there was a thread that previously showed higher ratings on TNT when compared to ESPN/ABC in the ECF/WCF or something. If that's the case, then it's more likely due to the fact that TNT pulls in better rating as opposed to the Magic being unwatchable. Thought I'm not denying that the Kobe-LeBron hype would've helped.
actually, I do have one reason to thank the Rockets for being unwatchable enough to stick on a channel nobody knows they have
I love how but hurt thunderdan is, just by his lame insults you can tell how bad his vagina is hurting right now.
