man, we could've won and people would've actually cared for once
The ratings are in: 26.3 million viewers watched the Heat beat the Spurs last night, the second-most for an NBA game since 1998.
Viewership peaked at 34.2 million in the final minutes. Overall, it earned a 15.2 share, meaning 15.2 percent of households with TVs were tuned into the game. Who are those 288 million Americans who didn't watch Game 7? Some of them are babies, I guess, so that's understandable. But do you actually know anyone who wasn't watching? You should stop being their friend.
The impressive number still didn't come close to 1998's Chicago-Utah Game 6, Michael Jordan's last game in a Bulls uniform. (That one pulled in an incredible 35.9 million viewers.) And it fell 1.9 million viewers short of 2010's Game 7 between L.A. and Boston.
But it seems the post-Jordan NBA has found its formula for big numbers. Conspiracy theorists take note: The 10 most watched games of the last 15 years have all featured either the Lakers or the Heat.

that was a of a bout, tbh...
Especially considering the Spurs were playing 4 vs 5 most of the series with Ginobili on the court
Ginobili looked like he was playing for the heat tbh.
Lotta people watched Pop choke
Those ratings are from an age before DirecTV, Dish Network and the like gave people a bazillion viewing options... technically they shouldn't be compared to anything that has to share the airwaves this day in age.
Not surprised. It hit 20 something million in Game 6 with the 4th highest ratings of all time on ABC, so no surprise that a Game 7 would get higher ratings and viewers.
