    Man in Black attributes the rise in ratings to Michael Jordan.

    He believes Jordan's "Mini comeback" brought back casual viewers.

    I personally believe that any casual viewers that Jordan might have brought back probably stopped watching when the Bulls got eliminated in the second round.
    Jordan's comeback definitely brought back casual viewers, and while many would have stopped watching when the Bulls were eliminated, I'm sure many were still interested to see how the playoffs would turn out.

    Exactly, there was other reasons to watch the 95 compared to the 94 Finals. A more free-flowing matchup, a team going for a repeat, and a battle to look forward to between a lion king of a center vs the new t2000 model of one.

    There's a reason that, for years, some people called the league...THE JBA.
    The Jordan Basketball Association.

    Everyone knew the Knicks weren't to win the Bulls with MJ, that championship wasn't the real deal, the Bulls would win it all in 94. Bad refs decisions prevented the Bulls to push the Knicks to 7 games, and the Rockets needed 7 games to win the finals. The Bulls would have eliminated both teams with MJ.

    In 95 there were no excuses to make, as the Magic eliminated the Bulls with MJ. Hakeem reached legendary status after the series vs the Spurs, D Rob was the MVP and an terrific defensive player and Hakeem still made the shots at will, then it was Hakeem vs Shaq another once in w generation player and Penny was very popular player too. Plus the Rockets added Drexler mid season.
