You don't want to know
How do the NBA finals rank among the other major league finals (NHL, NFL, MLB, MLS) in term of ratings?
Does anyone have numbers?
You don't want to know
nobody watches that
Better than hockey or soccer, but worse than Neckcar.
Off the charts if Lebron and the Cavs pull this off.
i thought it was the main sport event after the Super Bowl
Probably not great unless it's the Lakers or Knicks involved.
any numbers?
as much as i would like to see the rematch with the pistons, the ratings would be wild crazy with the lebron vs the best team scenario. i don't even think they would mention the team names or show the logos, it would just be LEBRON vs the best team.
and thus Spurs become everyones bad guy. We should just give into it now and start playign the imperial stormtrooper music as the intro to everygame.
Why ask in a forum when you can Google? This took me like 30 seconds to find and answers all your questions. Basically the NBA finals is a bit behind the World Series, everyone is far, far behind the Super Bowl, and hockey is down at the loser level, far, far behind the NBA. MLS? Even below that
World Series Ratings Hit Record Low

NEW YORK -- A World Series to remember for the St. Louis Cardinals was one to forget when it came to television ratings.
The Cardinals' five-game victory over the Detroit Tigers averaged a record-low 10.1 television rating and 17 share, Fox said Sunday. This year's rating dropped 9 percent from the previous bottom, an 11.1 for a four-game sweep by the Chicago White Sox over the Houston Astros last year.
What made the low rating more remarkable was that this year's Series went five games and was not a sweep. St. Louis' 4-2 victory in Friday night's finale got a 10.3/18 in figures compiled by Nielsen Media Research, just above the record low for a Game 5, a 10.0/17 for the San Francisco Giants' 16-4 rout of the Anaheim Angels in 2002.
Games 1 (8.0), 3 (10.2) and 4 (10.4) also were record lows for their games, and Game 2 (11.6) was above the low of 11.1, set last year.
Still, in an era of declining network ratings because of the spread of cable television, Fox was pleased it won prime time in all five nights among viewers 18-49. In an effort to avoid low-rated Saturday night games, the World Series will start on a Tuesday next year, the first season of baseball's new TV contracts.
"We are in the business of winning nights and the World Series consistently helps Fox achieve this goal," Fox Sports president Ed Goren said. "There is also no questioning the tremendous yearly promotional power that one of the worlds greatest sporting events and its 15.8 million viewers per night provides the network."
The Pittsburgh Steelers' 21-10 victory over the Seattle Seahawks in February's Super Bowl got a 41.6/62 on ABC, while the Miami Heat's six-game win over the Dallas Mavericks in June's NBA finals averaged an 8.5 rating on ABC. NBC televised the final five games of the Carolina Hurricanes' 4-3 victory over the Edmonton Oilers in June's Stanley Cup finals, averaging a 2.3/4.
In St. Louis, World Series Game 5 got a 51.7/71 and the Series averaged a 48.9/65. Detroit got a 34.3/50 for Game 5 and averaged 36.9/53 for the Series.
The national rating is the percentage of U.S. television households tuned to a program, and each point represents 1,114,000 homes. The share is the percentage of households watching a broadcast among those homes with televisions in use at the time.
ratings.. who gives a
Spurs vs. Cavs (LeBron) = HUGE ratings and Big Bucks for the League
Spurs vs. Deeeeetroit = Nobody outside of Texas or Michigan watch's.
So i can assure you that the NBA brass are pulling soooo hard for Cleveland that Joey Crawfords buddies will get incentive pay if they are in the Finals!
Yep, we are the big, bad, dirty Spurs.
